As a whole and with the clever hidden piece to the prose, oh man there are only so many words I can say to express how much I love this. Excellent idea, and a damn well-executed narration of something metaphorical. It also helps that it's close to my own beliefs, but it's the way you crafted your words that really did it for me.

I sometimes consider beauty as a spiritual thing that should be lived with and be seen as something God-Like.

Something that I have found out about the word divine, is that it's root from greek, or latin, or something like that meant one, and completely pure.

Thus, God is a divine influence, but there are other things that are divine, such as beauty. There is also emotions.

Esepecially when they get to the point that you cannot explain them.

For instance, divine happiness is when you are so happy that you can't describe it, and when you try to express it through art, you don't seem to find inspirtation.
But, instead of communicating your happiness to someone else by usual means, you instead might be crying, your mental vessel being overflown with joy.

Or divine anger, which burns at your core, and not only makes you breathe hard when you are sitting still, but also makes your face red, and the blood in your veins mix with poison. But still, you can't write it down, it's not possible...it is...divine, untouchable...

What this world (which is ran by power hungry tyrants and overzealous leaders, with their false prophecies of freedom, when they are really taking you into a bigger system of control, fueled mainly by clever, subliminal acts and messages that are paraded around us like it was Christmas) teaches us to do, is to shun the idea of divine, and the idea that something so foolish is not even real.

That's why I described Beauty being so mad at everyone. There are people out there who wish to kill beauty. Yet the only way to accomplish this is to keep the idea out of every mind in the world, and the sickening thought is that, in the majority of minds that inhabit the earth, they have almost succeeded. It's sick, it's foul.

It's like how they call "love" now on the teley and the magazines. I have felt true love and, brother, I can tell you right now that you won't find it on the Surreality shows, or daytime television.

It's all corrupt...it's all...

This is a bad time for beauty to blossom right now.

I can see that, by looking at your profile, that you like the movie The Neverending Story, and, I have come to realize that my speech here is much like that movie.

Also, I do believe that we share similar musical interests! Daft Punk, Gorillaz, AND Enigma?!!

AWESOME!!!

You know, I believe that Enigma touches this subject rather well, wouldn't you say?

There's other sides of it, lots and lots of facets, but yeah I have to say I agree. Though you CAN capture these "divine" feelings, it is entirely possible, but the only way you can tell you've done it is if what you have written causes someone to feel something. I've always said that the greatest human ability is that of inspiring other humans.

It's not a bad time for beauty to blossom, I find it frequently. You just have to remove yourself from the world by a step, look at the pure worth of everything, and enjoy even little things... ESPECIALLY little things. There is an incredible beauty in a mountain vista, but there is no less beauty in catching an interesting conversation at a coffee shop, watching a cat hunt a butterfly, a piece of incredible graffiti on a building tumbling to ruins, a twisted piece of driftwood, finding a marble on the riverbank or even in the sadness/joy you may feel at a sorrowful but triumphant death scene of a favorite character. It's all about looking for it instead of lamenting how it is corrupted or gone. Even little beauties are still divine.

Of course, this view is greatly Daoist, but I digress~

Yeah, the Neverending Story says it about right! And so does Enigma. I've listened to their stuff since kidhood and most of my views are in fact based on those songs C:

Yeah, I agree completely that you can capture them, but not fully. It gets lost in translation, like encoding an LP record onto an mp3 float...you just can't do it right, well, I mean, it's possible still. I won't say what is and isn't possible, but I don't think it can still be expressed in this dimension, or on this plane. It has to be expressed in a plane where emotion has matter, or where a feeling can take up space, or can be transmitted into another energy.

What I mean is, that, no matter what we do, with the inscribing of words, or the drawing of pencils, the more that you act this way you are drifting farther and farther away from expressing the divinity.

Yes, it still expresses the feeling, and I have accomplished this many times before, but, when I get that feeling, words and pictures fail.

Except, that's where I have forgotten something most dear. The only way to express a feeling like that is to do it with music. It's the only way that pictures and logic can combine, and when I hear symphonies in my head when I get one of these feelings.

Because, you know, it's always altering; the music, I mean. Music is based upon sound which is really a complex pattern of various vibrations, but, it's the fact that it alternates from one side to the other, like the yin yang.

Because, the yin yang is everything, and words are on one side, and the other side contains pictures, like the divisions in the brain hemispheres...

and so then everything is in the music including the emotion like one kind of big song under the heavens....
and they say that angels can speak in music

that's what I mean. in order to express that divinity you have to talk in music...talk in pure emotion,

Music, especially psychedelic music is the thing that inspires most because psychedelic is more true to the heart's emotion than anything.

I hope that you know that I am crying slightly while I am writing this because sometimes I feel that I have such tremendous shoes to fill.

It's like ..................................................................................................

divine feelings.....


I dare not take that divine feeling down to the physical level....

Do you like to listen to the Beatles?

I love the Beatles.

John was always the most creative person of the bunch, and I think that he fueled all of Paul's ideas, but he was too shy and let Paul take the credit for most of it.

Yoko Ono was the best goddamn thing that happened to John...but Paul couldn't take it.

What a prick.


I mean, do you know what it's like, to fill shoes like the ones I try to put on? Honestly.

And I can see why they hate me....

But whatever. I don't think that any of them have thought up of this, and that's what a philosopher is supposed to do, isn't it?

God, I'm sorry for rambling.

I'm not psycho...I just got carried away.

It's like, two things collide and out come feelings and data, and you got a mere glimpse of the data.

It was like a supernova in my head.

I think I went through at least 1,000 images in just a couple of minutes.


And they say that a picture is worth a thousand words.


I also feel the same way about your second paragraph...but, I mean, beauty unhindered. Beauty unhindered not only in the world but in the mind. It's just all getting sucked up like the Nothing.

Of course, everything is beautiful, but, there are beautiful things that are being destroyed instead of being preserved for the wonder that they are.

Of course, something things are supposed to be destroyed, but some aren't and things that are not to be destroyed yet, are.

Sorry for dealing definite generalities, but it's how my mind works because every string is connected to every other string.


About Enigma, what's your favourite album?

For me I've listened up to The Screen Behind The Mirror, but I haven't moved anywhere past that, but my least favourite one was the second Enigma album, which it's name escapes me. Yet, the three other albums I love equally.

Interesting how that works out.

Again, I apologize for throwing up verbally, it just, kinda, came out.

Heeere's where we differ. I can see what you're getting across, but in trying to explain that these divine feelings are inexpressible, you're also going against yourself in limiting how beauty works to your beliefs alone. Even if it's how your mind works, in definite generalities, that's not the best way of going about explaining the workings of the world, especially something as delicate and varied as you attempt to describe.

You have a lot of really interesting things to say, though! I think maybe your meaning has a possibility to get lost in saying so much. The most powerful phrases have been proverbs, after all. I'd be interested in seeing you condense all of these points into something swift and elegant because you could transfer so much meaning to a lot of people I'm sure! Even if you're typing a lot I'm really enjoying this conversation C: It's giving me a lot of insight!

You should study some Daoist stuff though, I feel that you might enjoy it. Try flipping on some different lenses, or looking at the world through a coca-cola bottle, or reflected in a puddle of gasoline; Gasoline is pollution, but it also has it's beauty and it's place. Decay, creation, spiraling symbolism, madness and order all have their incredible place and it is impossible to truly generalize, though generalizations make socialization largely possible... Still, if you view beauty as being swallowed up and forgotten, that is the only place you'll look for and discover it. I have known some people who have transferred great meaning and power in the simplest of things, and it was because they weren't TRYING to capture it. They just let it flow.

It has been in my experience that BY being brave enough to take up the pencils and markers and word processors that they do what brings them as people closer to their own personal divinity. Just because you feel the pictures and words fail, does not mean that it will fail for another. They may be perfectly ecstatic or content with their representation, and that's what spreads the beauty.


As for my favorite album I like all of them with the exception of A Posteriori. That one unfortunately was rather badly done, though the meaning was an incredible one to transfer. I like individual songs more than I like entire albums, though I do have a lot of fond memories set to Voyageur and Screen Behind the Mirror.

I like how it combines the simplicity of a flower and the importance of presenting something to a large audience.
