Seeking balance and order could be seen
as seeking beauty, in the same way that classicism describes a
preference for balance, simplicity, and restraint, but also in the
way a beautiful woman is described as perfectly balanced beauty.
Perhaps this could more deeply explain the ancient worship of the
Goddess?
The old saying that all art aspires to
the condition of music might be better defined as all art aspiring to
the condition of beauty. Beauty could then be expanded to include the
aspirations of religion and philosophy. The key word here is
“condition.”
“Condition” would be understood as
not merely an idea, sound or sight, but the condition of life itself, the virtues of
a whole living object. The zenith of evolved living
objects would define Godhood, containing all the
classical and universal attributes of balance, simplicity, and
restraint, but also truth and goodness.
This is how all things could aspire to
the condition of perfectly balanced beauty.
