A good read to reference when I think about stuff like this is ?Young Goodman Brown? by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I think he is the greatest anti-transindentalist and since his stories don?t poses one for sure conclusion about it?s meaning you have to interoperate the meaning yourself.
Also, I don?t think there is a singular purpose in life. However, I do think all people peruse the same things at base level. The whole archetype concept by Carl Jung talks about people being in a state of contradiction (union of opposites) and the process of becoming whole, called individuation, involves involves synchronicity and numinosity. It is kinda hard to explore in one post but I think they do a lot to explain so of human nature and the unseen similarities that exist between all people.
