Italian term

improbabile trascendenza alla portata

Italian to English Other Poetry & Literature book
A causa di queste dinamiche, viene a mancare quella
consapevolezza necessaria a mantenere il focus
della nostra attenzione, non tanto su una
improbabile trascendenza alla portata di modeste
pratiche esoteriche portate avanti due volte la
settimana, la quale tarda a concretizzarsi e sembra
inevitabilmente irraggiungibile,

Not clear to me.

Vuole dire che se è slla portata di modeste pratiche esoteriche allota è difficile che sia veranente trascendente.
Fabrizio Zambuto Oct 20, 2021:
the paragraph is not very well written but roughly the meaning is as follows:
"...not so much on a unlikely transcendence within the reach of mediocre esoteric practices, carried on twice a week..."
however, this is Italian English, so I'm changing the combo

The transcendental state itself is not unlikely - its just unlikely to be obtained in this relatively effortless way.
