Transcendence is half a binary

Response to a post on the C. S. Peirce list that speaks of not accepting a “transcendent” causal agent. #triadicphilosophy

Transcendence is half a binary.

Binaries are all suspect.

Generally they can be assumed to be one rather than two.

Explicitly there is no way to assume a creator without assuming that a triadic reality exists in which Love, for example, is both what binary language calls transcendent and immanent.

Suspect binaries include heart/mind and physical/metaphysical. Either-or is a human device not a basis for ontological thought.

To accept any half as the truth is to miss what is the case.

A triadic view sees such “opposites” not as either-or’s, but as part of the same universal sea which we can perceive only in part and which we experience as evolving.
