Art Gives You a Taste of True Nature

A man, who was attending after only having discovered Rupert a few weeks earlier, asks Rupert to comment on the meaning or purpose of creativity, especially, creating art. Rupert suggests that the purpose of art or creativity, at least in this context of exploring the non-dual understanding, is to bring the experience of the formless into form – music, painting, words, food, other objects. ‘To make a form that has the power within it to take the viewer, or the listener, or the reader, or the watcher, or the taster to the unmanifest, to the formless – that that would be, I would suggest, the highest form of art.’ What a great artist wants to do is to give you a taste of your true nature.
