Why does everything feel so beautiful

[Onecirrus]

I recently had some realizations similar to what Rupert Spira talks about. The general nonduality stuff that maybe a lot of people here find mundane compared to higher states of consciousness, Eternity, Awareness, Presence, Etc. Nothing actually happened really, just this profound peace, and these other facets that where obscured until I paid attention to them. 

But why is reality so beautiful? Every form fills me with mystery and awe, even the idea of a smelly dumpster is profound and miraculous and mysterious. Everything just drips with beauty, it feels fundamental to existence, not just an opinion. Every color and shape combination is just beautiful to me, whether it's people, clouds, stars, RAM, deodorant, candles, cracked roads, the bug bites on my thighs, etc. 

Why does everything seem so beautiful? What is Beauty?

I have also been having a similar experience recently.

Reality is beautiful because it reflects the eternal, timeless beauty of God. Ibn Arabi, the mystic from medieval Spain, said that this universe is like a mirror which reflects God. I can sense it very clearly during meditation. I never want to leave this state for the rest of my life.

Beauty is a property of love and oneness. You see this beauty everywhere because you are everywhere. Alignment is beauty.

You can also be in a state where everything is absolutely ugly with no exceptions. Hideous and disgusting. In those states you are in aversion to everything. You try to distinguish yourself away from everything but you cant because you are helplessly part of it all which creates an even greater disgust.

 

Both states of Absolute Beauty and Absolute Disgust make me cry and the resultant state is still the same, TRUTH/ONENESS.

These two aspects are not different at all. They both lead to stillness.

 

You can't really name that non-dual state. It'd be wrong to call reality either beautiful or ugly. It's something that cannot be named.

Because beauty or beautiful is natures natural default setting suggesting that, without human interference or excessive ego, the world naturally exists in a state of balance and harmony.

Art is natural. Thou art that thy is. Aye. 🎀
