The Neglected Trans is the Trans Most Needed

Our modern world feverishly yearns to get across and go beyond. Driven by an obsession with material individualism and human rights, modern people diligently work to create a limitless world.

Evidence of this can be seen in the impulses fueling our contemporary zeitgeist – transactions, transnationality, transfrontiers, transexuality, transgenderism, transhumanism.

But this transvaluation of values focuses exclusively on the material; the physical. As such, it leads to transgression resulting in transmogrification.

There is but one way to escape this – by setting our sights upward, on the impulse to go beyond dull physical need and distorted material reality.

Our trans obsessed world willfully neglects the trans it most needs – spiritual transcendence.

The misguided modern impulse to get across and go beyond lacks Spirit.

And without Spirit, all motivations to get across and go beyond inevitably devolve into travesties.

If my own experience is a guide, this is the consequence of a convinced materiast persepctive searching for some hope in life, when one after another possibility becomes exhausted.

For example, when sex is made the focus of life, and disappoints, there is a process of transgression to attain greater strength of stimulus and novelty. When utopian politics disappoints, when society cannot be shaped to the needs of the individual - transhumanism tries to shape the individual to the constraints of society, so we can never suffer and be happy in actual circumstances. Most of these trans phenomena are the consequence of dissatisfaction of mortal life, in a conext when mortal life is regarded as the only life.

When all trans are exhausted there is only despair remaining - which is why the trans delusions are so aggressively defended.
