Why is Beauty metaphysical?

[integral]

The more conscious you become the more you're able to recognize the beauty in everything and the more developed your aesthetic intelligence is. Where if you crank this up to Infinity you recognize infinite Beauty.

How do I tell the difference between Beauty as metaphysical and Beauty as human biases?

It's hard to see the beauty of an orangutans ass when functioning at the human level but if we crank up that consciousness it becomes infinitely beautiful.

I'm not seeing how we connect Beauty to God and metaphysics

@integral Because its there and not there at the same. It all has to do with the obersever. The observer is metaphysical.

Ordinary beauty that humans see is survival beauty. They think things are beautiful that can make them survive better.

When something is there that isnt survival they will take the metaphysical film off of their perception and replace it with another metaphysical film.

Beauty isnt in physical reality its a perception the observer has.

If survial is over it dosent matter so you can pick whichever film feels best.

Imagine you have no physical body or bias to worry about in reality. Suddenly you dont have to worry about getting dirty, hurt, scared, wet, dry, cold, hot. Now everything is beautiful and mysterious. The stinky poop is no longer stinky is just an experience of something that cant get you dirty sick feel weird. Now you can go into the poop and see beauty.

@integral Human beauty is biased and has its opposite, ugliness.

Metaphysical Beauty is all-encompassing, it has no opposite because it recognises existence as inherently beautiful, therefore it's beautiful under all circumstances.

It helps adding into the mix the faces of Oneness, Love, Perfection and Self. Of course, God and Infinity is the Ultimate Beauty. Why? Because it's the most intelligent self-design, and only God can appreciate itself so thoroughly.

There's something non-arbitrary about human preference for beauty though. We seem to recognize order, completeness, intentionality, intelligence etc.

It's not just bias. 

For instance, if I play a musical tritone, almost everyone will agree that it sounds dissonant and ugly. Whereas a perfect 5th sounds harmonious, complete, beautiful.

You don't have to worry about anything anymore, but, that doesn't mean things become automatically beautiful. In this state, things can just become absolutely neutral. Neither this, nor that.
