Hey Leo here for actualized.org and in this episode I'm going to talk about what is art. The question is, are you conscious enough to see it?

I don't know about you, but I'm a pretty big fan of art.

After all what is everything in our culture from entertainment and books and movies and all video

games and all this sort of stuff what is all that but art?

So it's interesting to look at this question of what art is,

both from the perspective of someone who consumes art and also from someone who creates art because one of the

greatest enjoy my seal gat of life is to create something beautiful. But especially over the last year or so,

as my understanding of reality has deepened,

as I've been doing consciousness work,

as I've had various mystical experiences that has

changed my perspective about what art is and I want to share that with you here.

So it's a much more profound way of looking at art.

What is the essence of art?

Where does art come from?

Why does art exist? What makes for a really good art? These are all good

questions to ask, whether you're an artist or just a consumer. The first thing we need to realize is that art is completely relative.

A lot of people get into these debates about, well, is this thing here, art?

Or what about this thing here?

This is a better higher form of art

than this form of art.

Quite obviously, from an existential perspective,

this is nonsense.
