These four essential ideas are: the human-universe mutual process, the coconstitution of health, the multidimensional meanings the indivisible human gives to being and becoming and the human’s freedom in each situation to choose alternative ways of becoming. (Masters, 2015) Parse’s theory, humanbecoming, refers to a human being’s living health. The word “become” is used to emphasize the ongoing and changing nature of the process (Masters, 2015). Parse’s humanbecoming theory consists of three major themes: meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence. Meaning is the linguistic and imagined content of something and the interpretation that one gives to something (Masters, 2015). It can be further defined by the concepts of imagining, valuing, and languaging. Rhythmicity is the cadent, paradoxical patterning of the human-universe mutual process. It can be further defined by the concepts of revealing-concealing, enabling-limiting, and connecting-separating. Transcendence is defined as reaching beyond with possibles – the “hopes and dreams envisioned in multidimensional experiences powering the originating of transformating” (Masters, 2015). Transcendence can further be defined by the concepts of powering, originating, and
