Transcending the Common Anujin Duga pd. 7 by Anujin Duga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58 The intricate ideas of Thoreau and Emerson en-us 2019-01-29 03:34:45 UTC 2026-01-11 09:41:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Clouds.png Song Quote - 1 Price Tag, by: Jessie j anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/325232638 Jessie J expresses how much money doesn't matter when she sings: "We're paying with love tonight
It's not about the money money money
We don't need your money money money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag
Ain't about the uh cha-ching cha-ching". In this song, she says that money shouldn't be the main thing that brings you happiness and this idea relate to Thoreau because he feels the same way. Thoreau never feels like paying his taxes should be required and this therefore, relates to the transcendental idea that money isn't necessary to really live.]]> 2019-01-29 03:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/325232638 Original item - 1 anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/326991061 In this photo was taken while I was in the process of taking family photos by Mount Timpanogos. This was such a special moment because we were basically in the middle of no where and we were so happy and at peace. I came to realize that all that I need in life is my family and this place. So I took a picture and cherished the moment like Thoreau did. ]]> 2019-02-02 20:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/326991061 Video - Family Ditch Expensive Rents To Live in a Converted School Bus, by: Barcroft TV anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327072376 This video shows how a family of 5 turned an old school bus into a mobile home. The family can only fit the bare essentials of life into their house because the space is limited. This is a great example of something that Thoreau would have done if he lived during this time period. Living in a home like this and choosing this lifestyle over the normal style of living with more than what is needed. ]]> 2019-02-03 16:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327072376 Article 1 - Emerson's Natural Theology, by: Daniel Payne anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327082366 Emerson viewed the world in its entirety...focusing not just on science and nature, but how they connect to the soul and to the human experience. When the article discusses that Emerson wanted to live life in the moment, he was preaching that observing phenomenons in nature can make us appreciate our own existence. Emerson believed that nature lived within us and that if we chose to follow the transcendentalist lifestyle that we would be able to access our true selves. ]]> 2019-02-03 17:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327082366 Article 2 - Following Thoreau's Instincts, by: William Rossi anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327087868 Both Emerson and Thoreau are talked about in this article. The idea talked about in this article mentions that Transcendentalism is a progressive way of living life and this shows how Emerson and Thoreau thought thought more deeply than the typical person. Their ideas contributed to the idea of social Darwinism, which is a fairly recent topic. Emerson and Thoreau contributed a lot to the history and present day of our country.]]> 2019-02-03 18:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327087868 PoemTry to Praise the Mutilated World, by: Adam Zagajewski anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327090632 In this poem in speaks about the beauty of nature. Transcendentalism is very nature based and this poem talks about how we must cherish the beauty of the nature all around us. This poems provokes you to realize that even though the Earth is scarred, we can still be a part of it. Just as Emerson thought that we are a part of nature. Nature is within us, both the savage and peaceful components of the wild. ]]> 2019-02-03 18:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327090632 Podcast - American Transcendentalism, by: Phillip Gura anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327094791 This podcast speaks on the basics of Transcendentalism and how it affected American history specifically. This philosophy influenced political and social events such as: the Abolition of slavery, the women's rights movement, and recent presidential campaigns. It touches on the idea that nature is the main plug into the world of Transcendentalism. This shows that much of what makes this idea unique is that Thoreau was willing to give up what most people had to live like this willingly.  It was through his actions that led to the discovery of his ideas and the now well known topic of Transcendentalism. ]]> 2019-02-03 19:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327094791 Image 1 - Walden, by: Henry David Thoreau anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327095924 This is an image of the house that Henry David Thoreau lived in when he decided to live the way he wanted to, through Transcendentalism. This signifies what he was willing to sacrifice when chose to live this way. Henry thought that nature was essential to the ideal transcendentalist lifestyle. This type of home away from convenient stores and luxuries such as electricity illustrated proved that the bare essentials of life can sustain a human.]]> 2019-02-03 19:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327095924 image 2 - Meditation, by: David Asprey anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327096702 This picture shows that meditation and finding oneself represents what life is like living the transcendentalist lifestyle. Much of the way of living in this way is about finding peace and learning more about oneself. This picture is a good representation of this philosophy. ]]> 2019-02-03 19:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327096702 Song 2 - Cheap Thrills, by: Sia anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327098629 Sia sings, "Hit the dance floor
I got all I need
No I ain't got cash
I ain't got cash
But I got you baby".
These lyrics claim that Sia needs a very short list of things to be fulfilled. She explains that she doesn't have money, but she can still live her life to the absolute fullest if she has her love interest. Dancing is also something that many people connect to spiritually and emotionally. This quote points to her priorities (partaking in transcendental activity) ....not acquiring money.

You are all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the leaves
I am a moth
Who just wants to share your light" he relates the idea of nature to the fact that all he needs is love. Most of his song relates to nature and he compares it with his love, overall giving it a transcendental atmosphere. This is like the idea of we don't need much more than nature and love in our lives. Many people live in luxury without even knowing it. This lifestyle includes only what you as a human being need the most.

It represents simplicity and how only the simple things is what we truly need and not unnecessary things. Henry lived in a minuscule house that had only the things that were necessary for survival. This image shows that only through simplicity are we able to allow the transcendental life into us.]]> 2019-02-03 20:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327101316 Quote 1: Thoreau anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327102359 This quote relates to the idea that you must act instead of wait around for the life that you want to live. Because of his actions, he invented one of the most well known lifestyles known today. He set an example for many of us to follow especially because he knew how to carry out his ideas and help save humanity from living life without actually living it. ]]> 2019-02-03 20:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327102359 Quote 2: Emerson anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327102886 When Emerson said this, he was talking about the aspect of transcendentalism where you must live in the moment. Emerson was big on living life in the moment and moving forward. This idea is still sometimes lived today, many people believe that living your life to the fullest is living life as if there isn't a tomorrow. This shows that the ideas of Emerson have carried themselves down the line of history. ]]> 2019-02-03 20:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327102886 Quote 3: Emerson anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327132660 Emerson says that we should be breathing the wild air and thriving in the outdoors. This idea illustrates that we should be living within nature which connects back to the idea of being one with nature in the ideas of transcendental topics. ]]> 2019-02-04 00:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327132660 Quote 4: Thoreau anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327132923 Thoreau states that we shouldn't be waiting around to live life how we want to live it and we must act in order to be satisfied. This idea of seeking our ideas that need to be expressed ties back into living differently than others. Rather than waiting around for ideas to come to us, and worrying what others are going to think or say, we should live the way we want to and be one with nature and show that we can live with just the bare necessities.  ]]> 2019-02-04 00:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327132923 Original Item 2 - picture anujinduga https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327133599 This is a picture of some of my family camping. When we camp we must only pack the essentials for the trip. On this trip it was a weekend in nature. The fact that we could only pack our necessities ties in with the idea of the lifestyle of transcendentalists. This is because we were only supposed to pack what we needed and we immersed ourselves into nature where we could be one with the wild. ]]> 2019-02-04 00:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/anujinduga/t9e2n8cedl58/wish/327133599
