The key is understanding that everything is SYMBOLIC. Because what we see isn’t always real.

Art appreciation is something that changes with the ages, and with social values and times.

But Believing NEVER changes.

Let me explain. In the past, artists were appreciated for their Realism. This is because before the camera was invented, there was no better way to record human and nature likenesses. And the image was still subject to the artist’s interpretation. For example, Kings and Queens may not have looked exactly as they were painted. I’m sure the artist used his mind as a filter and made the image look slightly better than otherwise. And if not, he may have gotten the shaft in favor of an artist who would paint a more flattering picture. Mind you I’m talking modern history, not ancient history, because they surely had holograms and advanced technology back in ancient Egypt and Atlantis, that they will eventually bring forth to the world when ‘history’ is revised for accuracy.

Nowadays artists are more praised for their symbolism and abstract abilities. Because people want to move past the image into the MEANING of the artwork. And that is what lies behind the scenes.

The same with being a Believer. Because we are told we must live by faith.  (Habakkuk 2:2-4). And that we must walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) And this is something that will never ever change, at least not until we permanently leave this realm.

Which makes sense, because physicists have proven without a doubt that this world is a hologram. Which also lines up with the biblical texts which tell us all things are possible. Because we are living in a created system that can be manipulated. But one has to have power to manipulate it. And this power only comes from above or below. So those that give their lives, fully, over to Yashua or to satan are both given power. The difference is one leads to eternal life and the other to eternal damnation. Choose today whom you will serve.

So in order to truly appreciate art, one must go beyond the senses, beyond what you see with your eyes. And to appreciate the Most High and the gift of her/his Son, one must do the same.

The world is obviously changing. You may know we’re at the verge of a new industrial revolution, and the robots are here. I personally think they will make some things better. At the same time, they won’t be able to do everything. For one, they won’t be able to create meaningful art. And please understand the fine art world is chock full of scams. Any type of digital art that can’t be physically touched (much like bitcoin) is ultimately worthless, no matter how much hype there is about its supposed value and alleged selling price. There’s a sucker born every minute and the best fool is a wealthy fool.

And there’s also lots of scams in the religious world. Many churches are scamming the people and many prophets are false. I believe people will have to answer to the Most High for giving their monies to pastors who drive luxury cars when they pass by homeless people on a daily and fail to pull out a five dollar bill to help someone eat a meal.

I had an intense discussion with someone who told me he wouldn’t give money to a homeless person who is obviously on drugs so that they can buy more drugs. I disagreed because even though that’s what they might do with the money, that might also stop them from hitting an old lady over the head and stealing her purse for a fix. And every addict has a chance to become sober and this might be their day. Why judge the person when Yashua told us to give to those in need? He didn’t say question them about what they will do with it. And one of my fave testimonies is about a man who overdosed on drugs and went to hell and got his ass clean as a whistle after that experience! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDTKTDGWHkw)

This type of giving, in my opinion, is an act of faith because we must look beyond the seemingly obvious nature of what the person will do with the gift and have faith that he or she can still be miraculously set free. The same way the materialistic pastor can be set free and repent of taking money for selfish ambition. But I wouldn’t give to this type of pastor over the homeless because I am no respecter of persons. The homeless person likely has a cleaner heart.

Back to the topic, as somewhere in this rambling set of thoughts there is a point. This is a world of deception, a trap world so to speak. It is made up of illusions, just like art is also a visual illusion – although there is meaning behind it all. Yet there is a light shining to lead us out. This is Messiah, the light of the world.

But the light can’t be seen in the natural, it can only be seen in the spiritual. And that takes faith, prayer, and repentance. Blessings.

With God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)
