"Aesthēsis, for the ancient Greeks was related to the circular passive activity of breathing, we breathe in sensory impressions of the cosmic surround and, thus inspired, we breathe out creative expressions. The universe is, then, not merely our environment rather it enters into and rhythmically transacts with the very heart of our being beckoning us to partake in the call and response of the cosmogenic ensemble".
"Attending to the imaginal tides of aesthēsis as they flow to and from and across the sublime edges of embodied experience helps bridge the otherwise gaping chasm between mind and matter. Attending only to conceptual thought or to transcendental structures artificially widens the gap. Dwelling instead upon the way aesthetic and emotional vectors vibrate sympathetically through and between bodies begin to realize that modern philosophies abstract categories of mind and matter no longer hold any water, they leak".
