If all this is accurate, any writer willing to ponder the accord between Beauty & Truth can evolve their craft. . . and their soul life. In this digital frontier, it'll be like panning for gold.
We need those prospectors more than ever now.

“If the spiritual shines through the ugly, even the ugly becomes beautiful. In art it is upon a relation to the spiritual that beauty depends."

“If the spiritual shines through the ugly, even the ugly becomes beautiful. In art it is upon a relation to the spiritual that beauty depends."
This part is especially useful for those tasked with writing about the ugly:
"Even when art wishes to represent the ugly, the disagreeable, it is concerned, not with the sensory-disagreeable as such, but with the spiritual which proclaims its nature in the midst of unpleasantness.”

In lecture GA276 (1923), "The Arts & Their Mission-Lecture VI," Rudolf Steiner writes more on this subtle relationship between Beauty and Truth in the context of the ugly.
He writes,
"[B]eauty reveals inwardness through outer form; a shining radiates outward into the world. . . ."

Even if you toil in an industry led by algorithms, maybe, after undergoing an inner process of your own cultivating Beauty, Truth emerges--effortlessly, as art.
Maybe Beauty is the way, and Truth, like the dawn, is what follows.

Truth is elusive when sought for outwardly in a race against Time and one’s own better nature.
The Romantics got this. Didn't Keats write, "‘Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty,’—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know"?

A lot of empty theorizing in a cascade of tacit one-upmanship. Post after post after post, a sputtering black cloud of exhaust fumes.

Let's say you're an honest writer in pursuit of the Truth, grinding for the media machine. Your industry is tough & soul-killing. Newsworthy events = fresh kill & blow flies. Your spin on any story quickly dogpiles w/ others' louder voices.

🧵 So much online writing hooks up w/ ugliness when it could be courting Beauty.
If Beauty were the muse, there'd be a lot more Truth to consider as we scrolled our daily screens.
