To me transcendence comes out of your experience. You see the futility of something and the addiction drops. Then once in a while, just for a change, if you want to smoke I don’t see any harm; if you want to make love I don’t see any harm. The harm is in the addiction — the harm is not in the act. And transcendence is not concerned with the act; transcendence is concerned with the addiction.
