There are three principle reasons as to why "Club Can't Handle Me" is a song that painfully and accurately encapsulates that bittersweet sadness that keeps us riddling our bodies and souls with anything we can ingest weekend after weekend, alternating our prayers between long for transcendence and the plain sweet release of death.

If you were (or "was") there, you might as well give up, Clear Blue Water is saying, because nothing in your paltry, grayscale existence will ever compare to the two hours of ready-made transcendence served up by Martin Garrix on an island in the Danube in the halcyon summer of 2015.

At the same time, the following statement gets close to a kind of definition: How we experience the artwork, what it (potentially) means to us, and how it comes into meaning occur through negotiations of …complex intersections that call for equally complex articulations rather than self-comforting variations of "transcendence" (emphasis in original).

And throughout the endless aisles and walls, among the nooks, crannies, swirls, eddies, and black holes of this omnivorous spectacle, there were signs of art's vitality, even urgency — pockets of surprise and transcendence that, given the company they were in, transported you farther and higher than they might have in a less blatantly mercantile context.

But maybe selling the devices to regular folks is contingent on convincing us that we've got a deep well of creativity hiding within that will be unleashed thanks to the latest processor upgrade; or that the design of the new iPad is so perfect, you'll experience transcendence while checking email in an airport lounge.

The various bot-like advocates who call the Convergence home, their visions of withdrawal and transcendence animated by a pessimistic reading of ever-intensifying global disasters, possess a conviction that Jeffrey, on his own or in conjunction with his New York girlfriend, Emma, and Stak, the Ukrainian war orphan Emma adopted, proves unable to match.

Because in those big rooms, you're allowed to vanish, finally finding that transcendence we all reckon will magically lift us out of the 50 capacity pub-back-room in Taunton we're currently stood in while a friend of a friend's cousin's bastard son's ex-girlfriend's pizza delivery boy fumbles between tracks from a Hyperdub sampler.

His dried earth artworks are reminiscent of parched deserts, forgotten lava, and scorched dirt, yet they contain a colorful magic to them that alludes to opportunities for spiritual transcendence, like the oasis in the desert or the cave-covered cenote; a magic that happens only by spending time surveying the works and letting your thoughts go on an adventure.

Nightlife is a form of transcendence, in a very real sense, from the humdrum of the everyday, and, as Haslam discovers in the book, this idea of the excitement of the night—in both literal and more metaphysical terms—as a fundamental necessity, isn't something that just arrived on our shores in the Northern Soul days.

" Michael Pollan ("How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence"): "Besides being gorgeously written, and brimming with amazing information (about plant intelligence, especially), 'The Overstory,' by Richard Powers, is something genuinely new, in the way it decenters the human as the source of all meaning and value.

Indeed, as she introduced mainstream audiences to figures like Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, and concepts like that of The Secret, in the '90s and early aughts, it seems like all of the sociopolitical tensions of the Oprah Show's early years gave way to a focus on the internal transcendence and reconciliation of her audience.

If the high desert is a hot spot for seekers of transcendence, then the hot spot within the hot spot is the Integratron, a 38-foot-tall wooden cupola in the tiny village of Landers, built in the 1970s by aircraft mechanic and U.F.O. conspiracy theorist George Van Tassel at the confluence of several powerful geomagnetic fault lines.

To start ranking composers working in this tradition does a small disservice to the countless moments of accidental transcendence that are possible not just in the writer's hand, but in the buildings for which the music was written, in the subtle personal intimacies of a small choir's members looking at one another directly in the eye across the chancel.

In "This Austrian Village Wants 'Frozen' Fans to Let It Go," Laura M. Holson writes about how the hamlet of Hallstatt, Austria, is seeking "quality" visitors, and not tourists who "just take pictures": They arrive by the busload and on ferries, many in pursuit of the perfect photograph for Instagram, others seeking the transcendence of a fairy tale land.

So the NYC Winter Jazzfest will feature a number of other groups working in this vein, like Breathe, a brass ensemble led by the trombonist Craig Harris; Transcendence, a historically informed yet contemporary project of the drummer Jaimeo Brown; and Class Struggle, a quintet led by the tenor saxophonist David Murray (and named for a poem by Amiri Baraka).

With costume designs such as "Das Triadische Ballett (Le Ballet Triadique) Boule d'or, figure" (1922), we see his taste for geometric figurative art that is very suggestive of the mechanomorphic, robotic, or prosthetic bodies typical of Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia's Dada, sex-machinist period, when they discovered industrial design as a pictorial source for transcendence.

McDermid-Hokanson told me that she had spent a year putting the laboratory together, and while I can appreciate that labor, the ritualism of the performances felt like a kind of plodding memorial of the past, as opposed to the artists seeking out new things to say about transcendence, action art, and gender, which were the themes they were reputedly out to explore.

He argues that Mallarmé's transcendence of conventional poetics, his spatio-temporal gyrations, his yearning efforts to collapse signifier and signified, his wish to erase all boundaries between word, idea, and object, as well as between art and life, paved the way for innovative Modernist thought and practice in literature, music, visual art, philosophy, modern physics, and even prefigured aspects of today's digital era.

So there's a sense in which Ad Astra is a movie about immanence winning out over transcendence: the notion that if God or something like it really did exist, it's been gone for so long that all we have to keep us human, to actually make life worth living, is not our search for God but our love for one another down on Earth.

It's more than that, but also it is always that—there is a want at the heart of it that is unreasoning and unreasonable, and the little blips of transcendence that sports give us are the result of the dynamic tension between that ungovernable want and the rules and norms and various tiers of ritual and discipline and received wisdom that govern the game.
