The true work of art can be nothing more or less than a catalyst whereby the human transcends itself and becomes one with the Divine. The true work of art must convey a universal principle through the presentation of a personal and particular aspect of Life. It must take the individual from the specific to the general, from the personal to the impersonal, without binding his consciousness to doctrine or dogma, without confining his soul to planes of consciousness not native to its own. The true work of art has many meanings for people of diverse backgrounds; allowing for the confluence of multifaceted ideas through the one Mind, it serves to integrate humanity into the Body of God, captivating souls at various points of the upward-moving spiral, the great godward cycle of individual initiation and fulfillment.[1]
