Transcendent Identity:
An Identity type that is sometimes Primary but usually Secondary, is called the
Transcendent Identity otherwise known as an
Ipseity. Because the Thinking-I can create any Identities it wishes, whether they be realistic or not, it is capable of creating any number of Identities that replicates perfected ideals or transcends the physical, and are meant to correspond to one's concepts of both physical and non-physical Religious or
Spiritual criterion and entities.
The Interpretive Context of the Transcendent Identity generally means
that reality is interpreted from the
Context of non-physical ideals, beliefs or motives. The Transcendent Identity generally comes with criterion for
Consequence built in, such as ghost-hunter, astrologer, biblical scholar, or Pope. The knocking sound on the wall is interpreted as a ghost rather than some physical phenomenon.
The Transcendent Identity can be any creation or adoption of criterion
for Consequence that transcends materiality, as Religion meaning that
the authority for the assumed Consequence generally lies outside the
reality of the natural world, such as God and God's anointed ones.
These Identities take the forms of priests, clergy, pastors, Rabbi or holy man or woman. Religious belief generally references Consequence in terms of future gain and loss such as heaven or hell.
Any number of Transcendent Identities can be created by various people, most of which concern the interpretation of reality through the context of some kind of religious/spiritual persona. When the present reality of the natural world is considered as a spiritual state, the world at large is considered to have Consequence and interpretation tends to attribute many natural changes to unseen spiritual forces. The Transcendent Identity is this case often then becomes an intermediary to those unseen spirits. These personas often take the Identities of medicine men or women, healer, rain-maker, fortune teller or wizard.
