    Assalamualaikum

    We can say that everything has a creator and logically it should end on one creator. But how did the idea of transcendence come?Like a person can say that people couldn’t answer the questions on God so they added the idea of transcendence. That we shouldn’t ask this,God is transcendence and beyond our imagination.

    Perhaps the idea should be reversed.

    Because HE is transcendent, we can’t understand HIM.

    Perhaps the ant is wrong in thinking that it cannot comprehend a human. Will the ant say, human is completely within my grasp and he is not something beyond my intellect!

    Just a thought to illustrate the difference between 2 entities.

    But ant is observing human directly. We don’t observe God directly but through His creation, that every thing has a creator. But the idea of transcendence, how?

    An ant can only live in the physical world. It can understand only the physical. It can’t comprehend the ability of the human. To the ant human is transcendent. Well some ants want to deny that and they can claim that regular ants have invented the transcendent perspective.

    The conscious world is for the humans. A human can infer, reason and realize that their is a transcendent entity more powerful in consciousness than himself. Then again, some disgruntled humans create this idea that their is nothing transcendent out there and everything is physical. In order to do that, they first deny consciousness, the first principle, then it becomes easier to dismantle any other consciousness. We have degraded human to the level of an ant, a highly intelligent but an ant.

    So what difference does it make, transcendent or not. What are we trying to get at? What are we trying to prove?
