The Absolute is the concept of an absolute, unconitional reality which transcends limited, conditional, everyday existence. It is often used as an alternate term for "God" or "The Divine", especially, but by no means exclusively, by those who feel that the term "God" lends itself too easily to anthropomorphic presumptions. The concept of The Absolute may or may not (depending on one's specific doctrine) possess discrete will, intelligence, awareness or even a personal nature. It contrasts with finite things, considered individually, and known collectively as the relative.
