Art Perspective; Existence is a stream of consciousness and consciousness feeds on consciousness. The reason for human existence is also awareness, in other words, development. Humans use three main paths to mature; science (to comprehend existence), faith (personal hygiene), art (holistic understanding). While one of these paths becomes a person’s main path, a connection must be established with the other paths. Art is a form of worship, a state of trance. This state activates the person's abilities such as knowing without knowing, feeding from the source, sensing, using the power of imagination and thought. Thus, it is experienced as a natural flow leading to the source, to the whole. It increases sensation, makes us ask questions, creates enlightenment, and renews the person. These renewals remind us of the absolute truth we are a part of. Finally, our tongues are tied, our hearts are opened, and it can reach the power of creating vibrations that our consciousness emits!
