Defining beauty in the Twofold Path is a reconciliation of the sacred and profane

What is it like to look at something beautiful? Plato and traditional religion said beauty brought a desire akin to contemplating the good, but Burke said beauty brought a desire to possess the object.

I see Plato's contemplating the good is related to the Involutionary Inward Path to the God or Father Within whereas Burke's desire to possess the object is related to the Evolutionary Outward Path of material evolution to Godhood.

Godhood is reached through material and supermaterial evolution engaged in reproduction and survival, as life evolves and rises to the highest beauty and truth possible in the cosmos. The Inward Path must block material desires to reach the enlightenment of seeing the God Within and so material desires are called profane by ascetics. But the desire to possess is not a profane definition of beauty.

It is the Outward Path of evolution that brings back sacred beauty from its exile in the Great Spiritual Blockade of the Inward Path. This seems to suggest that what the Inward Path defines as profane is defined as sacred in the Outward Path, and vice versa. But both kinds of beauty, both paths can be affirmed in the Twofold Path. The beauty of the Inward Path is a mirror to help us see the true beauty reached in the Outward Path.

Defining beauty in the Twofold Path is a reconciliation of the sacred and profane.
