transcendences

States exceeding limits

Transcendences is the plural of transcendence—states or instances of rising above ordinary limits or experience.

The word appears in philosophical and spiritual contexts: The book explores various transcendences achieved through meditation.

It can also describe moments of surpassing usual boundaries: Her music captures small transcendences—those instants when daily life briefly feels luminous.
