Beauty and Simplicity

What if Beauty were the highest feeling and Simplicity the best expression for a 3D Consciousness (STO candidate)?

In Beauty there is Knowledge. Awareness of that which is ugly allows one to open to the gift of Beauty, where the internal Being meets with the splendor of the Cosmos.

Simplicity does not relate here to complexity, which leads to learning and creativity, but is about what's complicated, which leads to confusion and misconceptions.

Is there Beauty and Simplicity in the Cassiopaean Experiment?

So far, I can see Beauty in the huge concepts from 1D to 7D etc.
And I can see Simplicity in the ways to express it...

Take it easy!

"...Nothing is True without Beauty" - Alfred de Musset

[A very good little book for French speaking folks: "Cinq méditations sur la beauté", François Cheng (Livre de Poche)]
 
I think if you start asking people, you'll find that what is beautiful to one is not necessarily beautiful to another.
 
Right, beauty is subjective to one's own interpretation, as is any feeling.
Still, it is universal and stands as kind of a powerful, harmonious mean to know which way we are choosing.
Be it toward confusion and entropy, or toward truth and creativity.

IMHO, there might be a clue, if we understand beauty in opposition to evil...
 
Well, it seems to me the Whole -- everything in existence -- and its harmonious balance is True Beauty. When we get an occasional glance at the awe inspiring wisdom, intelligence, elegance, and balance of the Cosmos, we get a glimpse of True Beauty.

The problem, it seems, is with our lack of Being and thus our lack of understand and appreciation. Our mechanicalness prevents us from high levels of understanding and appreciating the Whole, and thus, prevents us from accessing True Beauty. I may be wrong, but that's what it seems like currently.

The Universe really DOES know what it's doing, everything is pretty much as it "should be," and the Cosmic system obviously works on the whole, beautifully :)

The call for accessing True Beauty is a very strong one, allowing us to rise in consciousness.
The appreciation of beauty seems to be an open door to the highest realms of human perception.
It's a fundamental gift to our destiny and free will IMO
 
I have not quite clear whether experiences of perception of beauty or not to help raise awareness, and explain with an example, perhaps exaggerated, but I think it will help.

I've known people who have taken ayahuasca in some cases, and all have stated that they have contacted wonderful things and have felt a great expansion of consciousness, and who have received the divine beauty and stuff like that. These people, so also I have seen, are full of programs, trauma and psychological wounds of all kinds. For what they served salad that perceptions?

There may be experiences that allow the development and / or understanding of something important in an individual, but not always. Sometimes these experiences draw us to confuse and entropy. What we consider beautiful may actually be entropic or misleading, there is the New Age, for example. And as said SeekinTruth because our level of understanding and if we can not dictate what is the real beauty, if there is something.
 
Esote,

from wiki;

Beauty (also called prettiness, loveliness or comeliness) is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction.

i think it's helpful to realize that Beauty itself is not a feeling. It is rather the outcome in the form of pleasurable sensations that is attached to an aesthetic characteristic.

in my opinion, feelings of satisfaction that arise from finding something beautiful don't necessarily have anything to do with raising awareness. not more than say, peeling a banana has a necessary awareness "raising" effect.

i think this is a very good point.

not everything that "feels good" is necessarily right, and i think it's obvious that people can "feel good" without much awareness.

Rather more often than not, "feeling good" is the wide gate to Hell, so to say. And beauty is often the lure.
 
Indeed, I don't find beautiful on what other people find beautiful.

That's because the force is strong in this one. I think what's important is seeing things as they are rather than seeing what has beauty and what doesn't.
 
Beauty might often be the lure when it's kind of an evil beauty, as it may happen with false knowledge.
True, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with raising awareness, but it does have a lot in common.
I'd rather follow a beautiful and simple path, than a wretched and crooked one.

It's not only about feeling good, it's about feeling the call to transcend oneself.
I sure don't want to throw the baby with the water, and choose what is wrong because what is right might be wrong...
Better feeling sad because feeling great could be a lure? :cry:

Now, what about listening to some great music or enjoying a sunset, a splendid scenery or whatever is so beautiful to you that you are in awe? I guess you would be grateful and let it raise your level of well being. Nothing is wrong there, except disregarding it.
Yes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions; that's why being able to recognize true beauty is part of the work.

And I do agree with caballero reyes: KNOWLEDGE is beauty.
