Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Self-transcendence is a personality trait that involves the expansion or evaporation of personal boundaries. This may potentially include spiritual experiences[1] such as considering oneself an integral part of the universe.[2] Several psychologists, including Viktor Frankl,[3] Abraham Maslow,[4] and Pamela G. Reed [5] have made contributions to the theory of self-transcendence.
Self-transcendence is distinctive as the first trait-concept of a spiritual nature to be incorporated into a major theory of personality.[6] It is one of the "character" dimensions of personality assessed in Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory.[2] It is also assessed by the Self-Transcendence Scale[7] and the Adult Self-Transcendence Inventory.[8]
