CREATIVE VISION FOR ART AND FOR LIFE
Richard Guggenheimer
Explains that seeing life as a whole is an innate instinct within humanity, and that this way of seeing is the root to all great art, philosophy, and science.
|
|
1 |
"Being has a beauty that transcends its worst ugliness."
|
|
2 |
"We bathe in an atmosphere traversed by great spiritual currents."
|
|
3 |
"Events form highly integrated patterns and there is a deep relatedness running through all things."
|
|
4 |
"Everything in the continuum of pure being is eternally new."
|
|
5 |
"The character structure of the mature and integrated personality, the productive character, constitutes the source and the basis of virtue." Erich Fromm
|
|
6 |
"The sense of the beautiful seems to be directly referable to the quality of wholeness or relatedness that underlies the apparently separate parts and incidents of being."
|
|
7 |
"The artist achieves by intuition, feeling, and perception of form what the scientist aims at by logic and exploration. In science, as in art, the essential drive is toward seeing whole."
|
|
8 |
"In the unified experience of reality the whole process of creation…is a single timeless moment of Divine self-manifestation." R. A. Nicholson, 'Commentary on Rumi'
|
|
9 |
"Art is the humble and marvelous image of the cosmic order itself….The spirit of the forms is one." Elie Faure
|
|
10 |
"Man's art offers the gift of music out of mere sound, of wisdom out of awareness, of love out of indifference. These are difficult transmutations. They are accomplished by the alchemy of only the purest motivation."
|
|
11 |
"Art at its most elevated is not so dependent upon skill as upon virtue. Virtue is pre-eminent dedication to a life of truth."
|
|
12 |
"The human spirit likes to see things whole. Emotionally and intuitionally we seek the sum of the parts as surely as we want the ending to an unfinished theme."
|
|
13 |
"We must measure reality by man's inner and higher nature. It is the only way to a creative vision of today's world."
|
|
14 |
"Never in all the reaches of history has there been precisely You before, and if you know how to value and cultivate the essence of your innermost sense and sentiencies, you become a creative element in the whole dynamic system."
|
|
15 |
"Relatedness is both the goal of our searching and the facilitating means."
|
|
16 |
"Seeing whole provides us with many insights. It even enables us to suspect that we endure, that our life is not a span of time bounded by a beginning and an end."
|
|
17 |
"Maturing vision depends increasingly upon two necessities: inward development of self, and communication between growing selves at the altitudes of their subtlest insights."
|
|
18 |
"The me-ness of me, the you-ness of you, seek communion at the levels of our highest intentions."
|
|
19 |
"The essential point emerging from the observations and conclusions of today's science is that the fundamental drive behind human progress and purpose issues from a continuous rise in levels of organization."
|
|
20 |
"Sensitiveness to beauty brings insights and visions which humanity does not otherwise attain." Ordway Tead
|
|
21 |
"Minds that are peculiarly sensitive to relatedness, to qualities of wholeness in experience, gradually build up a conditioned aptness to recognize evidence of such possibilities more and more infallibly."
|
|
22 |
"An intelligent being carries within him the wherewithal to surpass himself." Henri Bergson
|
|
23 |
"In physics, in biology, in aesthetics, this same Unitary Principle obtains; it is as though the tensions and pressures of conflicting forms in unstable irresolution ultimately find, by their own inner urgencies, and nature's purposive design, a mergent stability, a higher function in the mounting architecture….there seems to be a goal that is as inherently magnetic to all protoplasm and organism as to man himself."
|
|
24 |
"We must nurture and not kill such germinations of faith as come to us through the ardor of our best meditations, the illumination of our most inspired dreams, the flash of vision."
|
|
25 |
"The Beautiful is the Now, and this is the eternity to which we belong."
