Transcending was written during an extended period of personal inquiry into identity, conditioning, suffering, and the patterns that shape our experience of life.

The book explores how thoughts, emotions, old conclusions, and deeply held identities can become confused with reality, and introduces a simple approach for recognising and meeting what continues to create unnecessary struggle.

At its centre is the practice of Transcending, developed through years of working with people and applying the same inquiry within everyday life. It offers a way of exploring what remains unresolved without continually adding more ideas, explanations, or strategies.

Published in 2026, Transcending captures an important stage in the exploration that eventually led to The Clearing.
