You can easily see trancendental thoughts in the paper Nature. " I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the universal being Circulate through me; I am a part or particle of god." This quote talks about the trancendentalist thought of everything in the universe being as one. He has died and now he is free and become one with god.
Self-Reliance focuses on the indivisual aspect of trancendentalism. The story talks about this guy how has to work hard to get by and doesn't need to worry about being wrong or misunderstood but needs to follow his own way and be his own man. " Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood-- Is it so bad to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and socrates, and jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."
The Resistence to Civil Government also captures the indivisual aspect of trancendentalism. In the Paper Henry is talking about how the individual citizen needs to rise and become better and the government needs to step away and let the people grow and not hold then back. " There will never be a really free and enlightened state, until the State comes to recognize he individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly."
