44:7.1 These [[artists]] are not concerned with [[music]], [[painting]], or anything similar, as you might be led to surmise. They are occupied with the [[manipulation]] and [[organization]] of specialized [[forces]] and [[energies]] which are present in the [[spirit]] world, but which are not [[recognized]] by [[mortals]]. If I had the least possible basis for [[comparison]], I would attempt to portray this [[unique]] field of [[spirit]] [[achievement]], but I [[despair]]—there is no [[hope]] of conveying to [[mortal]] [[minds]] this [[sphere]] of [[celestial]] artistry. Nevertheless, that which cannot be described may still be implied:
44:7.2 [[Beauty]], [[rhythm]], and [[harmony]] are [[intellectually]] [[associated]] and [[spiritually]] akin. [[Truth]], [[fact]], and [[relationship]] are [[intellectually]] inseparable and [[associated]] with the [[philosophic]] [[concepts]] of [[beauty]]. [[Goodness]], [[righteousness]], and [[justice]] are philosophically interrelated and [[spiritually]] bound up [[together]] with living [[truth]] and [[divine]] [[beauty]].
44:7.3 [[Cosmic]] [[concepts]] of true [[philosophy]], the portrayal of [[celestial]] artistry, or the [[mortal]] attempt to depict the [[human]] [[recognition]] of [[divine]] [[beauty]] can never be truly satisfying if such attempted [[creature]] [[progression]] is ununified. These [[expressions]] of the [[divine]] urge within the [[evolving]] [[creature]] may be [[intellectually]] [[true]], [[emotionally]] [[beautiful]], and [[spiritually]] [[good]]; but the [[real]] [[soul]] of [[expression]] is [[absent]] unless these [[realities]] of [[truth]], [[meanings]] of [[beauty]], and [[values]] of [[goodness]] are [[unified]] in the life [[experience]] of the [[artisan]], the [[scientist]], or the [[philosopher]].
44:7.4 These [[divine]] [[qualities]] are [[perfectly]] and [[absolutely]] [[unified]] in [[God]]. And every God-knowing [[man]] or angel [[possesses]] the [[potential]] of unlimited [[self]]-[[expression]] on ever-[[progressive]] [[levels]] of [[unified]] [[self-realization]] by the [[technique]] of the never-ending [[achievement]] of Godlikeness—the [[experiential]] blending in the [[evolutionary]] [[experience]] of [[eternal]] [[truth]], [[universal]] [[beauty]], and [[divine]] [[goodness]].
