Oh dear, here we go again.

This is just like the discussion whether soul is the
same as spirit or whether the immanent is the same
as the transcendent....

Everybody seems to have their own definitions on these
things, depending on personal experience and
tradition they're coming from.

Not even the dictionaries or psychologists
agree on these terms,
they are too diffuse.

Please don't let this turn into a flame war...

Best regards.

Amanda.
