Are "transcendence" and "everything" mutually incompatible terms? Can any single self or object transcend everything? Or does then "everything" recursively and infinitely orient itself to now define "everything" as (everything + transcendent) = everything? What takes priority?
I think it depends on your ontology, for example with buddhist ontology (dependent origination) nothing really transcends anything else, whereas with say Kants system, the noumena transcends the noumenal
>Are "transcendence" and "everything" mutually incompatible terms?
Here I think this is a somewhat misuse of "transcendence", as in you're making it into an object or thing, whereas in normal talk we use the word as a way of talking about the relation between two things "the external worlds transcends my personal experience, or, x transcends y", rather than 'transcendence' being an actual thing itself to discuss.
What people fail to realize is that we have already transcended.
Consciousness is transcendence.

So if we define the Universe as everything, and say that something transcends the Universe. Does it still transcend the Universe, or is it in the same set as [everything = Universe], and we rename this new set as the Universe?
