Transcendentalism

Quite possibly the most hypocritical and nonsensical idea ever conceived.

Ralph Waldo Emerson formed the group of Transcendentalism, which believed one could unlock life's secrets without the use of groups or society.

transcracker

Someone who believes they are or wishes to be white, that they identify as a cracker. Usually a neo-nazi of color.

Erika: how the hell did you join the KKK, you're a black person

James: I actually identify as a Transcracker, so I'm officially a white person. Let's go burn the cross now!!!

Transcendentalist

The transcendentalists lived mostly in or around New England during the years shortly before the Civil War. The prevalent state of mind at that time was that religion (Jewish and Christian) was something rooted in dogma which simply must have been true, for it had been practiced that way for years. However, the transcendentalists dared to dig beneath---nay, beyond--the doctrines and explore sacred texts and canons outside of tradition, as well as explore their own spirituality. The transcendentalists sought to rebel against typical European classic and contemporary literature, to diverge from the dry, crumbling tomes of old and dip their fingers into romance and adventure and every other little brook sketching out across this new (or reborn) frontier, fiction, of personal spiritual exploration, of peculiarly poetic prose pondering on creation, nature, whatever surrounded him or her...

...Those around the transcendentalists were not so bold. They preferred to stay within the confines of their strictly corseted literature, where they were safe from marring influences that could taint the purity of their perfect art. They were frightened of rebuke, and thus they mocked the transcendentalists and all they stood for, never bothering to step beyond what they, their parents, and their parents' parents had been raised on from the breast on up to adulthood. The transcendentalists scorned such sheeply thinking in their own way, slapping the fleshy red cheek of the slave-owning, high-hat, dogma-pushing, nationalistic, jingoistic, verging-on-capitalist matron that was 19th century American society.

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

~Henry David Thoreau

Transcore

Referring to scene guys or any guys that look like girls that try to look and act hardcore. You can see a lot of these guys at concerts like; Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack, Of Mice and Men, DanceGavinDance, Etc...

They think they're hardcore until a real mosher/Hardcore dancer steps up to them.

Guy 1: "Did you go the the Asking Alexandria concert last night?"

Guy 2: "No, too many transcore kids there."

Cat transcendence

the supreme god of space and time
"the prophecy is true"

All mighty cat
Trying to see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

Cat transcendence
