Definitions:

Transcendent

This is contrasted with the concept of an immanent God, for example, in pantheism, where God is identical with his creation, or, to take a different example, in certain forms of humanism, in which God is identical with humankind. (G. W. F. Hegel argued such a thesis.)

Existence

Refers to the state or fact of being real or living, or of being present in a particular situation or under specific conditions.

Relate

To relate means to establish a connection or association between two or more entities, concepts, or people.

Immanuel Kant
