What Art Does

To me it’s simple.

Great art or anything creative induces a feeling of oneness or a state of flow within the observer. The Divine expressed in the piece, whatever it may be, causes the Divine within the observer to respond. This is why and how the Arts and creative works trigger inspiration, in a sense they trigger an unseen unrealized enlightenment.

When some people cry their eyes out because of a book, movie, song or piece of music. That response is the resonance, the recognition of something interconnected. Now it’s easy to say some people are simply emotional when it comes to certain things, and I’d agree with that a lot of the time. However, most if not all religious and philosophical texts repeat a certain point over and over again; that “God is Love.”

hmm… what is God then if not ‘hella emotional. Is there more to an “emotional response” then?

This thing that’s in us that gets roiled by these things outside of us. Often the only time we talk about such things is when they bother us, but what about the good? If the times are good or you at the time you feel good, those are good things. So let the good times roll. But what is it too… and what is that… feels good? God is Love indicates that emotion IS a state of being, so to feel good is to be good. If it’s the self that feels then everyone is always feeling theirs.

The Divine in art resonates with the Divine in its observer. It’s a medium of exchange, a reaction is an overflow of energy.

The next question is, which part of art is priceless?

oh look a moment of exchange.
