It is not often possible to find such a term in ordinary conversation. Few people are familiar with this rare word without prior training. Let's try to figure out what it means. Transcendentally - this is the concept of a higher mind that a person can reach beyond the limits of his consciousness (from lat. Transcendent, transcendentalis - transcending, transcending, transcending). In all foreign translations of this token there is a prefix "re-", meaning "through", "in a different way." This word can most often be associated with meditation, as well as a variety of esoterics. For the correctness of its use, it is necessary to see the differences from the term "transcendental", as well as to know the philosophy of Kant and other thinkers. We will deal with this in detail.
Are transcendental and transcendental different concepts?
We have already described the second term. Repeat the semantic characteristic of the token. This is the concept of a higher mind that a person can reach beyond his consciousness. In this case, the action occurs beyond the boundaries of the subject, the reason is beyond it.
The difference from the first term is that here the action and the reason are inside. In this way, Immanuel Kant , a German philosopher, distinguished between these concepts, although at times he characterized them less distinctly. The thinker was one of the first to bring these word forms into general use. Kant devoted his definition of Critique of Pure Reason, as well as his introductory article. "Transcendental" is the statement that "knowledge is not so much concerned with objects as with the types of our knowledge of objects, since this knowledge should be possible apriori."
Applying properties to terms, the philosopher considers them epistemological: in his writings, the second term refers to the a priori of knowledge, its formal premises, organizing experience. Before him, these concepts were used in the same descriptions, but with minor clarifications.
Transcendental philosophy
The root causes of philosophy originate in the medieval doctrine of "transendentials." Even the Scottish philosopher-theologian Duns Scott believed that metaphysics is an unusual science (scientia transcendens). This is transcendental because it describes the knowledge of existence.
In addition, Francisco Suarez, a Spanish philosopher and thinker, argued that the subject of metaphysical science was universal attributes. Many other scientists, such as I.G. Alsted, I. Sharf, I.X. Mirus, F.A. Aepinus, understood that general philosophy is the only science of its own. It deals only with principles that are more generalized than bodily things, as well as those that are felt internally.
Meditation
Having understood philosophy, let's talk about what meditation is transcendental. This is a reflection in the form of concentration of attention, during which thoughts are perceived extremely deeply, subsequently reaching the source itself. In the process of practice, the mind calms down, focuses, enlightens, passes to omniscience. A person's thoughts automatically improve. This means that the attitude towards others, towards all living things becomes different. During meditation, a person is given the opportunity to study consciousness and master the cosmic potential inherent in him.
Founder Maharishi Mahesh
The founder of meditation is the great modern teacher Maharishi Mahesh. He brought this practice to the highest level, and it became known throughout the world. Over the past half century, technology has become popular and has gained new followers. Teaching of transcendental meditation should be done by professionals and transferred from teacher to student. Now let's talk about this in more detail.
Meditation training
Self-mastery of practice is permissible, but this does not guarantee the achievement of the result for which it was created. Despite its simplicity, the teaching of transcendental meditation is built thanks to the guidance of an experienced teacher-mentor. He picks up his own mantra to each to improve immersion. Before starting, as well as during self-improvement, thoughts periodically revert to this peculiar spell. Subsequently, the practitioner, having gained some experience, does everything on his own.
The technique of the meditation we are describing is not complicated. For its implementation does not need to make any effort. You can choose a place that is absolutely not suitable for ordinary meditation. Circumstances may also be any. For twenty minutes in the morning and evening, it is necessary to immerse the mind in a calm state. With the help of such a technique, a person is given to remain at rest simultaneously in a state of wakefulness. Transcendental meditation helps to improve health, memory, an influx of strength appears. Perhaps doing asanas at the same time, doing pranayama, exploring the pulse, listening to music for relaxation.
