Many of us lack any kind of artistic sense. So this episode is pretty neat Robert!!
I wrote this based off of one of professor Michio Kaku explanations on string theory...
String Theory Symphony
He strums the notes upon the strings
Creating subatomic things
Vibrating element into being
So many notes so many strings
These notes align their frequencies
The physics flows and harmonies
And chemistries are melodies
In His universal symphony
And everything is sung to be
He sings the song and strums the strings
Such glory in every note he brings
In this song he wrote of everything
Great poem!
Tell me what isn't art; show me what is not profound?
Show me what is truly known; display to me what is absolutely found.
Art is grasped by the sensible only as a silhouette, and apprehended by the Intellect intuitively and is interactive in Soul.
The further you are, the more divided; the closer and you acknowledge the Unity.
Metaphysics, theology, Philosophy are One.
Science, religion, psychology are One.
Excersizing the senses, simultaneously: sight, hearing, mind touch. If you contemplate in art a strawberry, you can seemingly taste it etc. with sound, mind, experience you can seemingly feel etc.
Is profound because we're interacting with the Spiritual, and the very essence of forms, before they were made manifest. Much knowledge had; much Wisdom attained.
Exercise the brain.
The left hemisphere is logical etc.
Right hemisphere is inuitive.
Incredible video. I put much work into this.
I'm going to jump on board to state that Art INHERENTLY engages elements of religious consciousness, and though from the standpoint of language that may seem to fall short of something we assert as a form of rigor for philosophical purposes, that appearance may merely be a flaw in the scope of language itself. First, there is the obvious. Art has clearly played a religious role from our earliest evidences of it. Here I will opt for a strong argument that when we see something like a doll in very ancient "art" the action engaged by that representation-in-interaction involves a projection into the concept space of the object (as represented in the person engaged with it). I have observed this process in multiple children younger than one year old. This process projects into the engaged space a kind of "reality", larger on the inside than it is on the outside.
I vividly recall the fugue-like experience I had on seeing Watty Piper's "The Little Engine that Could" in which the intensity of the experience of the art in the pages was fully magical. I know from the accounts of both my mother and her sister that this happened when I had just turned two years of age. This is a childhood human attribute that humans use to project asserted consciousness on other humans- hence it has the support of an evolutionary mechanism once established- and is applicable to any manner of other "targets", from carvings of bulls in temple spaces on Knossos, to landscapes by Bierstadt, to field paintings by Rothko.
Beliefs of any kind do not help us for all they do is block the flow of information. Knowledge, and what we classify as facts, supply information on which one may or may not, act upon, but there can never be enough infomation to make an objective persective, which is why in the end we always respond from how we feel. Thus; without feeling there is no meaning.

Art produces an experience of reality that integrates reality to understand existence?
Religion is not counterintuitive. Religion is more a mix of mythology and a historical retelling.
Guys......Human practice of Art was going on even before we became humans before religion formed and before philosophy was understood. at least 40,000 years ago (Checkout El Castillo Cave Paintings ) or if it helps go back to 70,000 years ago (check out Blombos Cave Engravings) or even further in time (checkout Venus of Tan-Tan).
In this program the ads are very annoying. That's running the whole sprit of program.
I love it 😀 knowing and knowledge of power 🔋
We're 1 minute 30 seconds in and he mentions art. Place your bets please, will he say Van Go instead of Van Gough, (rimes with cough) ?
Does art move from reality to existence, describing / communicating an experience of reality seeking existence / understanding; whereas in contrast science moves from information to reality, discovering the mathematical equations of information to develop knowledge of reality?
Perhaps with exception of self-portrait it is almost certain that in any creative art one can' find the author of the art in his/her painting. So is it not kind of stupidity to expecting to see the Author of the universe within the universe ?
Head without heart is dry speculation. Heart without head is sheer sentimentalism, or even fanatic superstition.
It looks like folks made cave paintings under influence of drugs a lot. Looks to me like visiuals where different when being on drugs which likely was inspiration for such art. Which is important since there is where the whole art thing started.
It's not necessary to invoke drugs for the people of Chauvet Cave to have painted the things they did- including the things that appear non-objective. A good argument has been made that those other things fall into two categories. The first, abstract symbols, some of which have been seen in other cave complexes. The second, representations of the spontaneous output of the visual system in near, and absolute, darkness.
The most direct link there is between aesthetic appreciation, emotional experience, religious belief and relationship with God is Quranic recitation:

Nature is an Art in itself and is the reason why ancient men believed in the existence of the Almighty Creator without the benefit of written tablet, scroll, or books but by just witnessing the Awesome Wonders of Nature.
The difference between Art and Nature is that Art is created by men, while Nature is designed by God to represent the truth about Heaven and Hell beyond the Physical World.
In other words, Nature as an Art is the origin of the Philosophy of Religion.
With your insight I bet you could be a great poet. Of course I try and find the poetry in everything😊💞
And the sacred code imbedded into nature, or nature that flows from the divine code.
I don't know, can he?
Can we engage Science, Art, Philosophy and Religion in a single system? YES!!!
Please, know philosopher Pietro Ubaldi and read his book "The Great Synthesis"!
Please Read!!!!!
I think it's rather great
The Creator created me to create.
And I find it's fairly fine
The designer designed me to design
Oh it's so gloriously grand
Our works that are placed
With the grace of his hand.
Tell me what you believe and I'll tell you why you are wrong.
I have trained my mind to be immune to an emotional response to anything that doesn't affect my life directly. This way I cannot be manipulated deliberately or inadvertently. So while I can enjoy paintings, music or anything else as much as anyone else I don't allow myself more than the superficial sensations of the moment. Obviously I have been and will be an atheist all of my life. I've lost all interest in fiction, sports, and pop culture. The real world is far more interesting. Therefore blind faith and ritual have no place in my life. What is art? That's an old question. For me anything that creates no pleasure or interest is not art. That excludes most of what purports to be art.
So, what is "real"?
Over the two decades of this series countless conflicting representations of reality have demonstrated significant SCIENTIFIC purchase. Wave or particle? Consciousness or evidence? If there is no witness is there anything to be witnessed?
Art has significant science-like attributes. So it was Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings of circulatory anatomy that prompted William Harvey to hypothesize the existence of a system of capillaries and then find them. Thank you very much, Art.

Such piffle. It never ceases to amaze me how the religious can find ways to attempt to distort peoples minds. They should be ashamed.
