So answer me this although I can sense what you'll answer;
Why would I want to transcend?

The answer I predict would be;
Why would you not want to transcend?

Almost, but not quite. My question is:

Is there anything to transcend? Why would someone think they need to go anywhere or be something else in order to meet the present?

My biggest failing was, I thought there was something to be free from. When I realized that the "I" that wanted to get away was the same thing as what I wanted to get away from, it all fell apart. Destroyed itself.

There is no other level other than where we are at any given moment.
