Cultivating An Appreciation Of The Arts And Refining Your Aesthetic Taste

2 posts in this topic

Traditionally someone who has "good taste" likes very specific art and hates or has no interest for the rest. In my opinion having "good taste" means to learn to love all of reality, the spiritual path is one way to reach this, but you can also just constantly look for things to enjoy about the present moment, this especially applies when you're somewhere shitty like a busy Walmart. Try to find a way you can change your perspective on the situation that makes it beautiful. A snowy mountaintop or an old church in rural America are easy to see beauty in. But can you see beauty in the machine that was built to destroy God, can you see beauty in the worst aspects of our capitalistic consumeristic culture? You don't need to be enlightened to do this, you can do this by changing your perspective on reality, try seeing it all as art, if you don't like it you just don't get it. Reality is just a very obscure work of art. 

Check out the photography of Wayne Wirs to understand this. He's an Enlightened mystic who recently disposed his own physical body, he drove his van all across the USA showing us God's perspective on reality through his photography and blog entries.
