The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Art - the beautiful thing about art, from my standpoint, is that it has no discrimination.
Many great works of art, poetry, and music are inspired by astral memories. The desire to do noble, beautiful things here on Earth is also often a carryover of astral experiences between a person's earth lives.
I love beautiful things. I'm not into art so much, like paintings.
Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.
Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony.

It's harder to do anything in the public eye now, in terms of if you're worried about scrutiny or being judged negatively. It's not as much of a free ride. If you're someone who's making film or TV or music, or any kind of art form now, there's a billion outlets, and they all have an opinion.
