Abstract
The capacity for self-transcendence through the suspension of belief/judgment involves neutralizing, as much as humanly possible, our biased, judgmental Self with which we ordinarily identify in our everyday lives. It further involves identifying with a compassionately witnessing Self, a caringly participant-observer Self. Though never totally, we are then better poised to understand the basic essential, unadulterated meanings of our interpersonal world.
