Absolute Beauty

3 posts in this topic

Absolute Beauty has been mentioned many times on the blog/forum, but there's no video about it.

Maybe it could be connected with Love, Truth, Consciousness. Practically, you could give advice on how to see more beauty and even create it yourself.

As a bonus the video could cover how art works as an expression of beauty, and how beauty can be found outside of art in everyday things too. For example, even a car crash is Absolute Beauty (according to my understanding).

I would like to strongly support this request, especially from a more fundamental angle.

The question of beauty seems deceptively simple, yet it cuts straight to the core of consciousness itself. Why are we so deeply drawn to beauty? Why does it arrest attention, dissolve resistance, and evoke devotion, longing, even tears? And what exactly is it that we recognize when we call something “beautiful”?

A video exploring the nature of beauty itself—not merely as aesthetic preference, but as a mode of recognition—would be profoundly valuable. Is beauty something added by the mind, or something uncovered when perception becomes clear? Why does beauty feel self-justifying, as if it needs no argument?

Most importantly, a careful distinction between relative beauty and Absolute Beauty could illuminate much confusion. If Absolute Beauty is not dependent on form, harmony, or pleasure, what is it? Why can it appear even through decay, violence, or apparent chaos? And why does encountering it sometimes feel overwhelming, even terrifying, rather than simply pleasant?

Such an inquiry could show that beauty is not secondary to Truth, but perhaps one of the most direct ways Truth recognizes itself.

In addition: There is a deep intuition that beauty and love are inseparable. Yet it remains unclear how they are related. Does beauty give rise to love? Or is it the presence of love that generates beauty, because love seeks expression in every possible way and therefore brings forth a subject object split, an “other” it can love? In other words, is beauty the cause of love, or its expression? ❤️
