The Experience of the Subsequent

There's another emotion associated with art which is not of the beautiful but of the sublime. What we call monsters can be seen as sublime and represent powers too great for the mere forms of life to survive. Prodigious expanse of space is sublime. This is the thing that the Buddhists know how to achieve in their temples. They are so designed that you're experiencing something here and then you break past the screen and the whole new horizon opens out. And somehow with the diminishment of your own ego, the consciousness expands. this is the experience of the sublime there.
