This is a rare articulation of art’s true function—one that doesn’t reduce it to therapy, performance, or social commentary. Art, when it’s not pandering to trend or profit, destabilizes the mechanized trance of the world. It confronts us with the ineffable by piercing through surface perception. That alone makes it dangerous to systems built on control. What’s compelling here is the recognition that art and awakening are not separate paths. Both dismantle the illusion of objectivity and re-anchor us in lived interiority. When art stops doing this, it becomes design. When it remembers this, it becomes divinity in motion.
Yes!!

Yes! Thank you. I've always thought of art as being spiritually sourced and recognized in various degrees.
So beautifully said. I find this to be completely true. It is inspiring to read.
Wow, what an article. It’s rare to see art framed as both a subversive act and a sacred practice.
I also have a personal question I wanted to ask, I left it inbox, when you have time please check it out.
I'm glad the post resonated, Mkwawa. I have responded to your DM.
