Exploring Immanence

With respect to spiritual experience, I continually have emphasised the complementary nature as between transcendence and immanence. Transcendence implies spiritual understanding as beyond all (phenomenal) form. Thus the truly infinite field which properly represents spiritual reality is necessarily limited in a finite manner through identification with phenomenal notions. Immanence by contrast implies spiritual understanding as a priori to our understanding of phenomenal form. So from this perspective spiritual notions of immanence are already inherent in finite understanding. So strictly all such understanding implies the relationship of finite and infinite notions. Thus conventional science unfortunately, for example, in its approach to evolution gravely reduces the true experiential nature of understanding in merely finite phenomenal terms. Worse still it then so often attempts to ridicule the inclusion of authentic spiritual notions through using such reduced understand
