Our actions are based on the principle of the ancient Golden Rule as it applies to all living creatures. Our lives are inextricably connected to Nature and Art and each are equally important in our traditions. It is to forge a sort of meta-religion, unlike traditional forms of extant religions, as we understand the danger of dictating one particular path in a holographic paradigm.įor autonomy in our society and government, we believe it prudent to organize and define our faith, demonstrating a tie between Transcendentalism philosophy and our daily practice, as our belief is not merely a philosophy or artistic concept but a deep conviction and way of life. Sublime Arts is a formal expression of this belief and is intended as a way to investigate how, in our contemporary times, we might attempt to form a so-called religious organization while recognizing that the source of all life is by and large indefinable. Rather than the conservative model of discipline, domination and submission to an institution, person or system seeking authority over us, we stand firmly in the authority of the self as it connects with others and creation, and of the collective wisdom passed to us throughout the ages. Our faith is in a holigarchical system that controls and is controlled by all creation – simply put, it is a contemporary definition, through a quantum lens, of pantheism and monotheism (“All is One”). Rather, it is to protect the natural-born rights of all and to empower others in their reasonable attempts to live a life of quality and satisfaction in balance with our biosphere.
Our agenda is not ego-based, nor does it seek power over any other individual or group. We are not interested in theological or philosophical debate, or in a rigid dogma. We do not claim to offer a path to eternal life or state of enlightenment. Sublime Arts is an emerging organization interested in the living experience. The challenge has been to fit our non-traditional organization within governmental definitions of traditional faith-based organizations in this country if we are to be federally legitimized, although in theory, this fiat should accomplish this. It is also to form solidarity and to rally for social transformation with innovative contributions. We suspect that in the United States of America, the best way to currently accomplish our goals is to form an organization categorized as religious so that we ensure Constitutional protection. Secondly, it is to explore a more helpful framework to alleviate internal distress of the individual. As much as this, our concerns are intended to define and structure our beliefs in order to protect our values and the values of those who believe as we do so that we can better serve our world. We approach this as a conceptual work of culture hacking for moral alignment – an experiment of Art and Soul, of our core beliefs. The effort of our organization is to be taken into this context. Spiritual (emotional and intellectual) health of humankind interests us. Preserving and promoting beauty and creativity interests us. Kindness, action, nature, and community interest us. Art in Spain is everywhere: in the countless monuments, in all religious buildings (they are all like small museums), in every street, whether Medieval, new or in the great modernist avenues such as Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona.We, as the founders of Sublime Arts, are primarily artists and lovers of our biosphere, interested in improving the living experience of all creatures.
Visiting these small art galleries, some of them private, stepping into the workshop of a painter and get to know his/her work first hand, or even participating in art auctions may be the best complement to have an insider access and immerse yourself into the artistic side of Spain.īut remember, art can not only be found in museums or art galleries. And of course, the large amount of museums in Spain host one of the vastest art collections in the world: Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza or Reina Sofía in Madrid Dalí Museum in Figueres Picasso Museum, Fundació Miró or Tàpies in Barcelona Picasso Museum or Pompidou Center in Malaga Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Goya Museum in Zaragoza…īut we an not forget the small art galleries all throughout the country, where the artist of today, maybe the genius of tomorrow, exhibit their works. When we think of art, we tend to think of the big museums. When you travel to Spain, you will discover a modern country, but also a country with many centuries of history and many centuries of art.
