The Pursuit of Beauty Has Served Me Best

The Pursuit of Beauty has served me best
Beauty is beauty, that’s all there is to it.

If you are interested in you, then you’re stuck
with you and you’re stuck with your death.
But if you get interested in beauty, then you’ve latched
on to something mysterious inside your soul
that grows like a secret insane thought,
and takes over completely when you die, and you’re IT.

The Imagination must serve the ideal of the beautiful
If it doesn't change the structure of the human soul, then
We will have to go deeper,

Transcendence is favored.
Transcendence is favored.
Transcendence is favored.
Nature seems to be in the business of building systems
which transcend themselves.

Art, sculpture, poetry, painting, dance is like the footprint of where the imagination has been.
unspeakable transcendent reality, that are always clothed in the assumptions of the individual artist
The Pursuit of Beauty Served Me Best

Terence Mckenna talks about how the idea of the beautiful has always served him best. Allen Ginsberg Howls And Satorid mixes in some of his favorite choice words.

It’s a bit of a challenging read (but totally worth it): an essay by Plotinus ‘On Beauty’ from his Enneads.

I think you’d probably enjoy it.

Funny you should mention "Howl." It's one of the finest works of literature in the 20th century. This is a good follow up.

Try as I might, I cannot get the video to play. I've cleared all my data, signed out, signed in, refrashed, restarted... did a little dance... gnashed my teeth at it, wailed, beaten my chest, tried various browsers, tried my phone... no joy. Is it just me?

ikr... All I can think is maybe find some way to be someone other than me and go watch it on that person's thingy. But then I wouldn't be able to see it because I'd be someone else which would be weird. I'm still working on it though because a friend said this was awesome!

Either way, followed and upvoted.

thank you, maybe in the near future the psychedelic gods will smile upon you ;D
