Watched Oh God with John Denver and George Burns. I was pleasantly surprised at how light but also deep it was for a 1970's comedy about the doubt and the existence of God.

Transcending Transcendence - Redux

Interestingly, I do think the presence of a teacher may invoke meditative states by temporarily stilling the mind and potentially allowing additional spiritual states to arise. I also think a lot of us then confuse these temporary states with permanent realization, and thereby miss the point and try to recreate the state. But I do think it is easier to obtain clear knowledge when the mind is relatively stilled in this way. For better or worse, this happening or not happening does tend to color my judgments. -

I'm not sure what people mean by transcendence. It could mean, variously, renunciation, the atman, God, a deep state of samadhi/absorption, manolaya, manonasa, etc. -
