    The document discusses the concept of transcendence, which refers to a state of being or existence beyond the limits of material experience and usual limits. Specifically, it defines transcendence as that which goes beyond any possible human knowledge or consciousness, referring to something objective rather than just a phenomenon. The conclusion is that while a person is their body, they are more than just their physical attributes and activities - a person reveals who they are beyond just their physical form.
