All my life, I've felt that there is something beyond materialism and dogma. YET at the same time, there is something beautiful and completely priceless about the *things* material objects and religion signify.
I felt completely alone until I discovered the writings of transcendentalists, who put my deepest experiences and dreams of humanity into poetry.
Emerson was a brilliant man, we shouldn´t spend our lives trying to do what others expect of us. Just as if we need others to accept our right to exist.
The spiritual philosophy of Transcendentalism is the closest thing America has to a unique, original religion, and it HAS had an influence. Yet, too many people overlook its wisdom.
Hello All, I am currently conducting Academic Research into the highbrow and lowbrow of Online community groups- In one word, if you like (eg Highbrow or Lowbrow) how would you rank yourselves as users of this site? Are you discerning over the content and communities you take part in and consume online? Has this video above got higher cultural value than any other?
@ninjamonkeys21 The problem is, the alternative to trusting ourselves and our experience is trusting other people and THEIR experience, and other people are just as capable of being wrong as we are. First-hand always trumps second-hand, in my book. The Buddha said, "Believe nothing, no matter who said it or where you read it, unless it agrees with your own experience and common sense." Emerson was basically saying the same thing.
its weird because Im a 16 year old kid and find this guy and his lifestyle very interesting.

Google it–as a start.
The empirical process for identifying the underlying law of nature was discovered in 2008.
Soon, we may all do so.
