WE ARE A MASTER PIECE OF ART

Almost 4 years ago, a group of 13 women, inquisitive to learn something about their origin as females, started a little investigation group called “Development of Art”.

We began looking for words which would widen ideas about art and fine arts.

¿What is art? ¿What are “fine arts”?

The Royal Spanish Academy dictionary, considers “fine arts as that art which has the purpose to express BEAUTY”.

According to the www.definicion.de dictionary, the word “art” derives from the Latin word “ars”, which is a concept that encompass and enhances all creativity that expresses a sensible vision about the world, whether real or imaginary.

Through plastic, linguistic or sound recourses, art allows the expressing of ideas, emotions, perceptions and sensations. With the Homo Sapiens appearance, art became a ritual and magical-religious function which definition has been modifying during the passing time and changes in culture.

Some of the concomitant and most repetitive words related to the concept of art as an expression of beauty are listed below:

Abstract Authenticity Altogether Aesthetics Apprenticeship Affability Ability Beautiful Balance Cosmos Color Connection Creativity Communication Construction Contemplation Caress Commotion Caution Creation Combination Character Comprehension Courage

Dimension Dignity Dexterity Dynamic Divine Dreams Disposition Development Expression Edification Emotion Evolution Empathy Exaltation Fantasy Food Humor Harmony Happiness Invoke Induce Inspiration Imagination Immortal

Invention Ideal Irrational Illogical Improvisation Intention Joy Kindness Language Liberation Luminous Love Link Mysticism Mystery Magic Movement Motivation Nature New Novelty Naturalness Order

Obscurity Original Projection Pleasure Peace Perfection Perception Paz Perfección Percepción Priestess Respect Renovation Rhythm Reveal Ritual Religious Reflex Sound Surprising Sensible Senses Space Style

Spirit Strength Synchrony Solidarity Sensation Subjective Smile Soul Splendid Taste Tenderness Transformation Trance Temperament Tune Truth Union Unrepeatable Unique Unify Unlimited Unforeseeable Virtue Vocation

The following are some of a number of the phrases that we came up with:

•  “What really defines people as artists, in relation to others, is that which is similar in everyone, is that which we truly want to be”.[1]
•  Art is the consciousness of possibilities and probabilities of all resources that are available, to behave and to be in fusion with all what exists.[2]
• Art is a way of living. When we think and feel as artists, there are no limits. All senses must participate. In this way, art becomes a joyful motive of living.[3] 
• When considering most of the references of Creation, masterpiece will tend to be more artistic.[4]
• To live life as artists, we must behave and think with an intention of love in everything we do. Everything is art, however an attitude of permanent alert is necessary to avoid the emergence of vulgarity.[5]
• Beauty is a splendorous amalgam of all of the being´s properties or virtues: unity, truthfulness and kindness.[6]
• Beauty resides in the heart of who contemplates it.[7]
• Goodness is a natural inclination to be good to others. It is a profound comprehension of people and their needs, always patient and with a balanced temperament. It tends to see what is good in others, avoiding judging attitudes and being capable to feel what others feel, being jointly liable while offering solutions.[8] 
• Harmony is a Greek cosmological concept. It explains a living order and a union with the universe where sensible reality and reason are opponents: light-darkness, life-death, youth-oldness, etc. The contraries are part the same thing and in the contest these opposing extremes unite to form a beautiful harmony.[9] 
• Harmony is a way of living in which the spiritual expression is love.[10] 
• If the governor imposes his own qualities and maintains order and harmony with good costumes, people will feel ashamed to behave in a bad manner and will continue on a path of virtue.[11] 
• There is no star that you contemplate, that in its evolution does not sing as the angels of heaven and don´t harmonize their voice to the chores of cherubs with candid eyes. The same harmony can be found in the immortal souls. But men while wearing that grotesque robe of mud and corruption cannot listen to their singings.[12] 
• Goethe stated that human beauty acted stronger with the inside senses than with the outside ones, in such a way that what one contemplates is lack of evil, feeling in this way in harmony with oneself and with the world.[13] 
• If I must revise how my character must be, I must think systematically that I must search the sense of union, the sense of balance and the sense of harmony.[14] 
• Beauty and harmony are implicit in human nature. Not every person can become into a composer, a writer or a plastic artist. Beauty and harmony means also to appreciate and to love what is beautiful, what is inherent to spirituality that enhances among the human beings.[15] 
• Art shouldn’t be something exceptional, but a way of living.[16] 
• Beauty takes us to solidarity, to empathize with others, to harmony, to try to stay in balance with those who are around.[17] 
• Beauty in the language: “When men will speak better, they will feel in company with the rest and feel more delicate, because languages are a potency which joins everyone and which is linked directly to the good speaking, to the capacity of the speaker, who uses his own words while expressing his thoughts, while behaving and showing his affections".[18] 
• “In the evolution image of the spirit in the Creation, the sense and feeling of beauty, is the most subtle impulse of the Spirit”.[19]  

After 4 years, we read the “Priestess, (women in holy orders)”[20]. In the second[21] and in the fourth abodes[22], one can read: “Beauty as alchemy of healing” and “Cultivation of beauty and Sensibility to Beauty”.[23]

We have searched the etymology and the meaning of the list of words mentioned above and we were surprised about the concepts considering Beauty as an art expression eases…. ¡It really moves into another dimension!

Reading the “Priestess” book, we also came to see that lifestyle in which we are submerged does not correspond to a “Master piece of Art” and it does not correspond to an expression of beauty. We exercise almost nothing of the sense and the meaning of these words, and know that the language conditions our behavior. We can see the deterioration and the vulgarity of these times. We consider it urgent to rescue our very “being”, exactly as it was conceived by the Creation, - as an original masterpiece of art, as unique and unrepeatable human beings.

“Women are the expression of that masterpiece of art, and we need to recuperate that sense of the Priestess, of women in holy order, that implicates being join with God[24]; we need to do and make everything in His name”; we need to cultivate beauty, to become sensible to it, to surrender to that Sensible, Spiritual Strength, in that Mysterious Strength of the Priestess.

“There are not universal patterns of Beauty; at least, there is not a unique pattern”.

We can affirm that everything can acquire a sense of beauty if we take art as that resource.

In this way, all responses which are codified will be annulated; all models, patterns and

iron bars that have converted beauty into an element of slavery, can be dissolved”.[25]
