People who best embody transcendent ideals do not undermine the personal and communal integrity of their community. Their transcendent ideals do not lead them to destroy the community upon which the ideals depend for survival. Transcendent ideals promote the long-term survival of those people who most faithfully embody them. The ideals which may properly be regarded as transcendent depend upon the community which is under consideration. A sub-culture may regard ideals which serve the special interest of the subculture as transcendent, even though the ideals may undermine the integrity of people and communities outside the subculture. Ideals which advance the welfare of one subculture at the expense of another culture are not transcendent ideals if they thereby undermine the personal and communal integrity of the transcendent community which embodies all persons affected. Ideals are not transcendent ideals if they undermine the personal and communal integrity of the community which embodies all persons affected by the behavior of those who most faithfully embody the ideals. Transcendent ideals do not serve the special interests of a subculture by undermining the personal and communal integrity of the broader culture. Ideals which are not transcendent ideals undermine personal and communal integrity by leading people in ways which occasion: misunderstanding, confusion, alienation, estrangement, resentment, ignorance, arrogance, elitism, guilt, insults, personal rejections, excommunications, banishments, secrecy, deception, personal violence, etc. People who are dedicated with integrity to transcendent ideals do not seek to defeat people who are dedicated to less integrative ideals, rather, they seek ways to integrate such people into an expanded community which promotes the personal and communal integrity of all members of the transcendent community.
