True. Transcendentalism emphasizes the belief in a direct connection between a person's soul and the Divine Spirit or Universal Being. Transcendentalists often viewed organized religion and its rituals as unnecessary intermediaries and advocated for a more personal and individualistic approach to spirituality. They believed that individuals could experience a direct spiritual connection with the Divine through introspection, nature, and the exploration of their own inner selves.
