Transcendentalism Part 3 The Finale

This man definitely showed all the symptoms of a transcendentalist, he went on his own free will to live in the woods, with only the essentials he needed to survive. I believe the reason he did this, is to try to become one with nature as much as he could, and what better place to do it at then Alaska. It’s very difficult to become one with nature when there is no nature around you. This world of ours is building up so quickly that we have forgotten where we came from. The actual root of are being. Nature. It’s where it all started, and that’s where it’s all going to end. I thoroughly agree with this whole theory at hand. "The rays that come from those heavenly worlds will separate between him and what he touches" By Ralph Waldo Emerson. Man, who is fascinated by his surroundings; goes through a supernatural experience, one could say almost forming with his surroundings. Feeling happy and giddy, amazed by what he see's and the sheer beauty in it. That’s life, that’s living. He is not on earth any more; he is not visible to the eye. He has transcended above all his surroundings to become part of and one with nature and god. He has transcended his reality, he feels and touches nothing. He has transcended to his place of paradise.
