  • "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

- Albert Einstein

  • "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds."

- Bob Marley

  • "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." -Dr. Seuss

  • "Imitation is suicide, envy is ignorance."

People of Today Through a Transcendentalists Eyes

  • "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms."
  • Connection: This quote means that copying is like killing yourself because you lose your individuality and that those who envy are ignorant to the abilities they possess. This quote demonstrates the tenet of individualism.
  • Connection: Here Thoreau is explaining his goal of going and living at Walden. This quote touches on spontaneous feelings because he just heads into the woods of Walden. In addition it shows that he uses the real world (woods) in order to find the truths he is looking for, for his ideal way of life.

The Robertsons: To a transcendentalist, they would probably be seen as people like them. The Robertsons connect with God through nature and believe God's presence is everywhere. They act based off of their intuition and do things like sneaking on to a golf course to get frogs. And true they do follow some traditions but they try to stay away from society and it's traditions.

  • Connection: As we see Einstein has slightly modified the transcendental ideology by saying imagination is superior to knowledge much like how transcendentalists feel intuition is superior to knowledge, but it still shows that rationality is beneath that of man's intuition.

Aphorisms by Thoreau

Aphorisms that reflect Transcendentalism

  • "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

  • Connection: This quote blatantly demonstrates that people should act according to how they feel not through blind conformity which Bob Marley makes a good comparison of blind conformity to being mentally enslaved force to do as you are told. But when he says only we can free our own minds it shows that we sometimes allow this to happen to us and forget we can do as we please.

Donald Trump: Donald Trump would be seen as the reason that people should turn from society. He has a business and he hires people to do things like say construct buildings. By doing this he is making the society run how the people live because after the building is complete people will have to work in it and so now those people will depend on him and not be self-reliant.

  • Connection: Thoreau states that one must not allows copy others it is best to break away from everyone and follow your own heart, no matter how crazy it may seem.
  • Connection: This quote by Dr. Seuss uses the idea of taking the real world and using it to find higher truths or the ideal world.

  • "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow."

- James Dean

Lady Gaga: Transcendentals would see her as self-reliant and definitely spontaneous. And she definitely sees the world differently as they do. But they might see her as over doing it like taking their ideology to the extreme.

  • Connection: This quote by James Dean illustrates the idea of spontaneous feelings and making decisions based off of your intuition.

Aphorisms by Emerson

  • "It is so bad, then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."

  • Connection: Here Emerson is explaining that those who are misunderstood are those who challenge society and dare to be different for their beliefs or findings. Society tries to force feed them "truths" but they are self-reliant, individuals who feel following tradition and conforming is not the way to live life.

Comic Strip

Bruce almighty

  • In Bruce almighty the main character receives special powers from God that give him the power to do almost anything, through these powers he develops a special connection with God. This reveals how God is a divine soul in which we all reflect on.

Happy Gilmore

Life of Pi

Happy Gilmore is about a man who continuously acts on spontaneous feelings, not minding what others may think. Which is what Thoreau and Emerson would promote.

In the life of Pi a young man gets stranded out at sea with himself, the ocean, a fears some tiger that he becomes friends with, and some tool to help him survive . While at sea he is able to connect with God, depicting the presence of God in nature as Thoreau and Emerson would explain.

The Essence of Transcendentalism

Transcendentalism in Music

One song that contains transcendental views is the song:

Gold By: Nicole Britt

So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved

And don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough

Yeah there are days that we all feel like we're messed up

But the truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough

So don't be ashamed to wear your crown

You're a king you're a queen inside and out

You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars

This is for you, wherever you are

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh,

You're gold

This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world

Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold

(So hold your head) So hold your head up high,

It's your time to shine

From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold

(gold gold, you're gold)

You're worth more than gold

(gold gold you're gold)

So don't be ashamed to wear your crown

You're a king you're a queen inside and out

"Gold"

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You were walking on the moon, now you're feeling low

What they said wasn't true, you're beautiful

Sticks and stones break your bones, I know what you're feeling

Words like those won't steal your glow, you're one in a million

This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world

Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold

So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine

From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold

(Gold gold, you're gold)

You're worth more than gold

(Gold gold, you're gold)

Well everybody keeps score, afraid you're gonna lose

Just ignore they don't know the real you

All the rain in the sky can't put out your fire

Of all the stars out tonight, you shine brighter

This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world

Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold

So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine

From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold

(Gold gold, you're gold)

You're worth more than gold

(Gold gold, you're gold)

Other Songs:

Live my Life by: Bon Jovi

"It's My Life"

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted

No silent prayer for the faith-departed

I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice

When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]

It's my life

It's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

(It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said

I did it my way

I just wanna live while I'm alive

It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground

For Tommy and Gina who never backed down

Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake

Luck ain't even lucky

Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]

It's my life

And it's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

(It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said

I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out

Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:]

It's my life

And it's now or never

'Cause I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

(It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said

I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:]

It's my life

And it's now or never

'Cause I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

(It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said

I did it my way

I just want to live while I'm alive

'Cause it's my life!

[Verse:]

Give yourself prudence

And love your friends

Subway kid, rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure

I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin

Believe capital H-I-M (Hey hey hey)

I love my life I love this record and

Mi amore vole fe yah (Love needs faith)

[Repeat chorus + post-chorus]

[Bridge:]

Don't be a drag, just be a queen

Whether you're broke or evergreen

You're black, white, beige, chola descent

You're Lebanese, you're orient

Whether life's disabilities

Left you outcast, bullied, or teased

Rejoice and love yourself today

'cause baby you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi,

Lesbian, transgendered life,

I'm on the right track baby,

I was born to survive.

No matter black, white or beige

Chola or orient made,

I'm on the right track baby,

I was born to be brave.

[Repeat chorus + post-chorus]

[Outro/refrain:]

I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!

I'm on the right track baby

I was born this way hey!

"Born This Way"

[Intro:]

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M

Just put your paws up

'cause you were born this way, baby

[Verse:]

My mama told me when I was young

We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on

In the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"

She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"

"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,

Listen to me when I say"

[Chorus:]

I'm beautiful in my way

'Cause God makes no mistakes

I'm on the right track, baby

I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret

Just love yourself and you're set

I'm on the right track, baby

I was born this way

[Post-chorus:]

Oh there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way

Oh there ain't no other way

Baby I was born this way

I'm on the right track, baby

I was born this way

Don't be a drag ‒ just be a queen [x3]

Don't be!
