"The Dot Com" (you can only say it in title caps) is a transcendently silly thing to call a website, at least in 2019, some cross between an anachronism and something your goofy uncle would say to you every time he saw you at a family gathering, knowing that you write for a website: Oh, how's life at the ol' Dot Com?

Roger Ebert also called the film "transcendently bad.

The wordless pieces have been described as among the composer's "most transcendently ecstatic moments ... as if no words could adequately convey the peculiar fullness of the moment". Only the title serves as a program for the "gratuitous blithesomeness of these two brief yet beguiling choral pieces". The songs were premiered in London by Charles Kennedy Scott and his Oriana Madrigal Society in London on 28 June 1921. They were first published in London by Winthrop Rogers in 1920, printed again by Boosey & Hawkes, after 1930.

" In addition, she was critical of Oprah's focus on the book, as well as Oprah's fans who enjoy the book, asking why her fans are "indulging in this silliness" and why they aren't "clamoring for more weight when it comes to Oprah's female authors". Katie Roiphe of Slate agreed with Egan about the strength of Gilbert's writing. However, she described the journey as too fake: "too willed, too self-conscious." She stated that given the apparent artificiality of the journey, her "affection for Eat, Pray, Love is ... furtive" but that "it is a transcendently great beach book.

It looks for the nature of the world and by way of its sensations it reaches metaphysical insights. Thus Vietinghoff found an alternative to the extreme poles of naturalism realism and abstraction or of copy and construction. Departing from a philosophical and mystical concept, he understood imagination in the sense of creative ability as the possibility of the human spirit to perceive transcendently. In artistic intensification, intuition – a sort of "seventh sense" – leads to inspiration and uses imagination as an organ of perception of the irrational, absolute reality which we can only divine temporarily with our limited view of the world.

Tregenza earned his PhD from UCLA in 1982. He has produced, directed and photographed four feature films: Talking to Strangers (1987), The Arc (1991), a co-production with Film Four International, Inside/Out (1997), and Gavagai (2016). Tregenza's first feature, Talking to Strangers, won him the praise of Jean-Luc Godard, who subsequently helped Tregenza make Inside/Out. Richard Brody, of The New Yorker, wrote of the main character, Jesse, in the film: "The drive for [his] purity extends through all domains—intimate, intellectual, artistic, and, for that matter, religious—as the quest for experience comes into conflict with the yearning for the realization of a higher, even transcendently great, ideal".

In an article in the magazine Musical World of 1838, the English organist Henry John Gauntlett noted: > His execution of Bach's music is transcendently great [...] His extempore > playing is very diversified – the soft movements full of tenderness and > expression, exquisitely beautiful and impassioned [...] In his loud preludes > there are an endless variety of new ideas [....] and the pedal passages so > novel and independent [...] as to take his auditor quite by surprise.Cited > in Brown (2003), 214–215 These qualities are evident in the organ sonatas, which were commissioned as a "set of voluntaries" by the English publishers Coventry and Hollier in 1844 (who also commissioned at the same time an edition by him of the organ chorales of J. S. Bach),Todd (2003), 478 and were published in 1845. Correspondence between Mendelssohn and Coventry relating to the Sonatas took place between August 1844 and May 1845. Mendelssohn suggested that Gauntlett undertake the proof reading, but this was in fact probably carried out by Vincent Novello.

It grew directly out of Andrade's experiences at the center of the São Paulo arts scene in the year leading up to 1922, the watershed year of the Brazilian Modernist movement of which Andrade was the chief literary figure. In the mythology of the book Andrade himself created, it grew out of a transcendently alienating experience Andrade had in 1920: his family's anger over his purchase of a (in their view) blasphemous sculpture by Victor Brecheret. There is no doubt that Brecheret and the other young artists and writers in Andrade's circle—chiefly Oswald de Andrade, Anita Malfatti, Emiliano Di Cavalcanti and Menotti del Picchia—influenced the development of the book. It was written, much like the parallel modernist masterpiece The Waste Land, backwards: Andrade explains in the preface that he began with a very long, hastily written, and rather unstructured work which was then gradually whittled down into its final state.

Despite this great diversity, all experiences of Chinese religion have a common theological core that may be summarised in four cosmological and moral concepts: Tian (), Heaven, the "transcendently immanent" source of moral meaning; qi (), the breath or energy–matter that animates the universe; jingzu (), the veneration of ancestors; and bao ying (), moral reciprocity; together with two traditional concepts of fate and meaning: ming yun (), the personal destiny or burgeoning; and yuan fen (), "fateful coincidence", good and bad chances and potential relationships. In Chinese religion yin and yang constitute the polarity that describes the order of the universe, held in balance by the interaction of principles of growth or expansion (shen) and principles of waning or contraction (gui), with act (yang) usually preferred over receptiveness (yin). Ling (numen or sacred) coincides with the middle way between the two states, that is the inchoate order of creation. It is the force establishing responsive communication between yin and yang, and is the power of gods, masters of building and healing, rites and sages.
