Beauty and the inner senses.
.. Perception of beauty through the senses is the trigger on your plane for subsequent inner perceptions. The two are so closely bound. through music for example. which can only be appreciated through the senses. Psychic actions take place, which lead the individual beyond the senses. There is much more to be said here. There is a phrase which I will explain at a later date -inner senses- which you will find most interesting, by this I mean senses within the senses….' page 77, session 14. Early Sessions volume 1
They’re a number of paintings at the national Gallery that I love and which I generally make a detour to see. This is one of them http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/collection/features/architecture_trail/feature3.htm
Given the quote above and given that I do find this paining stunning, I’ll go and see it again this weekend and ‘see’ with my inner senses I am not quite sure how to do this other than to ‘suck it and see’ …..and then wait.
Conceptually the nature of the faculty seems clear enough
‘therefore within your senses there are other senses that perceive inward. Your regular senses [physically attuned aspect of them?] create an outer world. The senses within them create an inner world. Its almost as if you could see, feel, touch and perceive so much outwardly and see and perceive so much inwardly, though much more exists inwardly of which you are necessarily ignorant.
A bit earlier in session 14, on the subject of painting
‘..There is an extra dimension in a painting than people usually recognize, besides the lines and colour and form and content which are as you so aptly said, feeling solidified. You have the action of which you also spoke. First you have the action of the lines, form and content and so forth caught and solidified, than as an observer looks at a paintings feeling is again motion moving out from the painting into the beholder’s perception. Page 76.
This is how I am going to begin trying out the inner sense associationed with sight, I’ll let you know how it goes.
