geological time scale

To present the history of the Earth in a more succinct manner than that of the map in The Times Concise Atlas of the World, here is the geological time scale in the form of a clock, borrowed from Wikipedia.

transcend

In Panosophy, transcend is an intransitive verb meaning ‘to be in union with Transcendent Divine we all share’, as Cosmic Consciousness. As a transitive verb, transcend ‘to go beyond limits’ is the opposite of immanse ‘to go within limits’, when an individual entirely transcends all divisions in the relativistic world of form.

Transcendence

In Panosophy—in which there are no divisions between science, philosophy, and theology—Transcendence is the quality of the Divine that surpasses the boundaries of the world of form, as the Cosmic Context of the Universe, and hence of all our lives.

In union with Immanence, Transcendence is Ineffable, quite impossible to express further in words or even concepts. Wholeness just is.
