And that is that "art" is more than a creation of parts of something into an organized expression (paintings, assemblages, sculptures, books, music, and so on); it can be any sort of conscious offering from self which radiates out. One might have a talent for listening to others, caring for the elderly, housecleaning, or gardening. These things all create something, though, except in the example of housecleaning, the result is not obvious. The essential ingredient is doing something from love and not from fear or some other derivative of survival.
Agree completely. I was just saying that seeing what people do with various aspects of our world or even their bodies to make it beautiful and to become what in my head looks like "art" served as the portal for me into this insight.
But while on the topic... given that you've followed the path of the artist for so long, how would you define art? I know that this is an ageless question with no universal answer. I'd just be interested in hearing yours.
Also, regarding intelligent energy making artists of us all, or the living expressions of art (in line with what you were saying I think), this quote:

Quote:[url=https://www.lawofone.info/s/15]15.7 Questioner: What is the greatest service that our population on this planet could perform individually?
Ra: I am Ra. There is but one service. The Law is One. The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead. The entity who seeks the One Creator is with infinite intelligence. From this seeking, from this offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities will evolve depending upon the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions with regard to the various illusory aspects or energy centers of the various complexes of your illusion.
Thus, some become healers, some workers, some teachers, and so forth.
