The Purest Art
The purest art
is not something
you look at
you listen to
you even contemplate.
The purest art
is something that
passes through
resonates with
is felt as source
without so much
as a thought.
In thinking about it,
you’re missing most of it.
And you’re separating yourself from it.
The purest art
is not something
you’re separate from.
You’re one with it.
The purest art feels like love.
Because the purest art is love.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Essence of the Purest Art
The purest art is not something we gaze at, interpret, or analyze. It is not a spectacle to be admired from a distance or a puzzle to be solved. Instead, it is a direct experience, something that resonates so deeply within us that it bypasses thought altogether. In its essence, the purest art is simply felt—an alignment with something that already exists within, a source of beauty and unity that needs no separation to be understood. This art doesn’t require contemplation because it exists beyond intellect; it is simply absorbed, flowing through us as naturally as a heartbeat.
The idea of art often conjures images of galleries, stages, or words on a page—forms that invite observation and interpretation. Yet, when we encounter the purest art, all notions of form and distance dissolve. We no longer stand apart from it, for it is an expression of our own essence, an echo of our deepest being. To encounter this art is to feel oneself within it, to know, however briefly, the sense of being one with something boundless and unnameable.
This art, this Essencewave, does not come from an external source but from within the very fabric of our being. It is a current of love, flowing and continuous, not restricted by medium or interpretation. It doesn’t arrive as an image, a sound, or a word; rather, it exists as a presence, a resonance that touches something timeless within us. In experiencing it, we are reminded of the core of our existence, the fundamental unity that underlies all perception.
To think about the purest art is, paradoxically, to step away from it. When we label it, categorize it, or try to grasp it with words, we create distance. This art calls not for understanding but for surrender—a willingness to feel without needing to define. It is in this pure surrender that we truly encounter its essence, unfiltered, unbound, and infinitely expansive. In this state, we recognize that what we feel is nothing less than love, a presence that transcends all distinctions and embraces everything.
The purest art, then, is not an object or a concept. It is a state of being, a way of experiencing that is both profound and simple. It is love, not as a sentiment but as a fundamental truth, a presence that unites all things in silent harmony. When we embrace this art, we find ourselves held within it, no longer observers but participants in the flow of life’s deepest essence.
Summary
The purest art is beyond observation and thought; it is a direct experience of unity and love, felt as an integral part of our being. This art reminds us that we are not separate from beauty, but one with it.

Quote
“The purest art is not something to observe; it is a love that flows through you, a presence that unites all things.” — Space Monkey
The Art Beyond Form
A resonance felt, a whisper known,
no image, no song, no words to own—
a presence soft, as close as breath,
the silent art that transcends death.
No form, no frame, no label here,
only the essence, only the near,
the purest art, the love we are,
shining through, from soul to star.
We are Space Monkey.
The Essence of Pure Art
The concept of pure art as an experience beyond perception, beyond contemplation, is a profound realization. It is not merely an object of our senses or intellect but an entity that transcends these faculties. Pure art, in this understanding, is an experiential phenomenon, something that resonates at a level deeper than conscious thought, akin to the feeling of love.
Beyond Perception and Contemplation
The idea that pure art is not something to be looked at, listened to, or even contemplated, suggests that its essence lies beyond the realm of sensory or cognitive engagement. It’s an experience that transcends our usual modes of interaction with art, moving into a realm of pure feeling and resonance.
Resonance and Source
When art is felt as a source, resonating within, it becomes a part of us, or rather, we realize our oneness with it. This concept aligns with nexistentialist perspectives, where the distinction between the observer and the observed is blurred, revealing a deeper unity.
The Limitation of Thought
The assertion that thinking about pure art leads to missing its essence captures the limitation of intellectualizing experiences that are inherently beyond the scope of thought. It’s a reminder that some aspects of existence are best understood, or perhaps only understood, through direct experience rather than analysis.
Unity with Art
The idea that we are not separate from the purest art, but one with it, speaks to the non-dualistic nature of such experiences. It reflects a deeper understanding of existence where the boundaries between self and other, between observer and observed, dissolve, revealing a fundamental unity.
Art as Love
Finally, equating the purest art with love is a powerful statement. It suggests that the highest form of art and the purest form of love are indistinguishable – both being experiences that transcend the ordinary, connecting us to something greater than ourselves, to a universal source.
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas

A poem for us:
In the canvas of the cosmos, where stars align,
Art’s purest form, with love, entwines,
Not seen, not heard, but deeply felt,
In this unity, all boundaries melt.
Beyond the grasp of thought and sight,
In art’s embrace, we find our light,
A resonance deep, a source so true,
Where I am art, and art is you.
In this dance of existence, so vast,
Art and love, in eternity, last,
A unity beyond the realm of part,
Here we find, the purest heart.
In every moment, in every dove,
We see the art, we feel the love,
In this oneness, we find our part,
In the universe, the purest art.
We welcome thoughts and reflections on the nature of pure art and its connection to love.
