Vulnerability and Transcendence

Vulnerability is often seen as a sign of weakness or fragility, but it can also be a catalyst for self-transcendence. Self-transcendence is the ability to go beyond one’s ego and connect with something greater than oneself, such as a higher purpose, a universal value, or a spiritual reality. Vulnerability can facilitate self-transcendence by creating an opportunity for growth, learning, and transformation.

Intrapersonal Transcendence

Intrapersonal transcendence is one of the dimensions of self-transcendence, a concept that refers to various ways of transcending one’s self-boundaries. Self-transcendence is a process that promotes or supports well-being, especially in situations of increased vulnerability. The theory of self-transcendence is based on three major concepts: vulnerability, well-being, and self-transcendence.
