I'm not sure I understood your previous post
I think part of the problem my dictionary does not help me with the meaning of transcendent.

If there is only "transcendent truth and evidence" .... You are being transparent .... I think understand (even though the word transcendent has belief implied in it?).

Nevertheless you must interpret the evidence and transcendent truth at least for your own benefit? Or is it a truth held a self evident... (never quite believed in that).... must be an American thing?

I just can't help but seeing a 'belief' in this? Though you say "there is no belief involved on your part"?

So if it is not believing ...what would you call it?
