“Beauty is the only uncreated thing you can experience apart from God.”

Context: Beauty is the only uncreated thing you can experience apart from God. Beauty is and always is. You are absent. Why are you absent? Again your robot mind is the problem.

So to experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
