Transcendent seems to imply something mystical. I think happiness is just a generalized state of contentment, where you're not constantly chasing the ...

That's not at all logical. A religion of one would be a religion of one.

Then that's an idiosyncratic view of happiness that doesn't comport with the generally accepted notion that happiness entails a certain contentment th...

You're asking what the "mind" substance is?

I deny this. Unless you define "statement" as an utterance in a formal language, I fail to see why crying doesn't count as a symbolic representation o...
