Art is self-expression of Consciousness

Art is not only technique or form of Beauty, not only the discovery or the expression of Beauty, — it is a self-expression of Consciousness under the conditions of æsthetic vision and perfect execution. There are not only æsthetic values but life-values, mind-values, soul-values, all these entering into Art.

The artist puts out into form not only the powers of his own consciousness but the powers of the Consciousness that has made the worlds and their objects.

Perhaps it is a search for platonic perfection versus supreme beauty.

The impersonality of the artist is essentially the flavour of the æsthetic theory wherein the art form itself descends into the artist, the audience, and the performance, and the role of each of these three is to transmit or receive without distortion this descending art.

What comes from within or from high above, that should find place in its appreciation, within or high evoking sensitivities, lighting a lamp for brighter illumination, kindling a fire for a superior fire to take charge of every creative engagement.

    Dear Sir 🙏 
    

    Mother is Divine Grace 💗 
    

    Whatever we, as Her children know about Her is part of Herself  because She is everything and lives in everyone, even when we don’t know it, don’t feel it.
    

    Physical body is external aspect of Divine Grace, it means that consciousness is hidden in it.
    

    Artistic expression is beautiful emergence of Divine manifestation in consciousness. In this sense universe is work of Divine Artist.
    

    Man is His latest work of art, himself on his personal level participates in the infinite expression of Divine Art.
    

    We are part of great continuous creation, emanation like clay in the hands of sculpturer and we are Him too, as far as He allows us by His Grace to belong to Him.
    

    Divine Grace is incarnated in double Avatar who by the instrument conscious in material world transforms or emerges out of it as work of art too, from inside out,
    

    like plant out of stone, like animal out of plant, like man out of animal, like Avatar out of man.
    

    Seed becomes the flower, stone becomes Avatar, chain of being is real because Divine seed contains all reality, as project, possibility. Seed below, Divine Grace in it and the Sun above emerging as Life, Light, as massage in the envelope.
    

    In brief, out of unknown, imperceptible empty enigma comes out true being closed in an egg of petrified dream 
    

    May Divine Grace be in You and in all of us always 🙏
