The spirit is defined by order such as faith and morality. This is because man consumed the fruit of knowledge and rejected the privilege of being born in perfect harmony with gods plan, and so has the choice for his spirit to grow how he wants it to, or to be selr annulled so he may become a demon and burn in hell. Without a structure it is tangled and grows dysfunctional and art is in part an expression of the lattice your spirit rests upon and in part an expression of its feelings and thoughts. More insidiously, the practice of art bends, reduces, and rebuilds upon that lattice, and controlling through cultural violence or outright physical oppression is grabbing a mans soul by the throat and throttling it into submission. And a conquered spirit may tragically give birth to ruined generations indefinitely.
The world is the great garden and it’s been filled with weeds while every trellis and support had been ripped up and thrown about. Only the strong and lucky grow towards heaven.
