What is the most beautiful thing in existence?

I mean more in aesthetic sense.  For me personally it's the full moon and night sky . I love riding my bicycle late at night or looking through my window and gaze at the moon and stars while listening to Beethoven or other classic musicians while smoking a cigarette. It's a heavenly experience. 

All of that is only possible because of the state you’re in. It’s all about state.

Not sure about state but it's definitely something. I wasn't always into all this stuff before (my list).I remember a little before I even discovered Leo and other channels about metaphysical stuff etc and all i knew about was church and Bible stuff which I had left  long time prior, i found my self extraordinarily looking up at the sky and admiring the stars the moon when it was there and i would freak out when the constellation was visible. I used to go home and watch Feank Webb and his discoveries and started to watch the clouds and pay attention to birds which I never did before. 

Looking back I see there was an opening happening and I was about to "crack". Not soon after was when I discovered this stuff. So you're right in a sense, it has to do with something that changed within you, even though I wasn't aware of it at the time.

I hope they are fun and cutesy and can raise your children. Don't mind me, Leo, I'm just breaking your balls.

I’ve got a better collection than Leo and Osho combined.

It’ll touch you to the core despite Being untouchable…

I find beautiful the poetry and classical music that I like, among other things.

When you're able to find a dog shit beautiful, that's when you know you've made progress.   

The vulgar example is meant to mess with our images of what beauty is or should be like. Trying to hint at a deeper form of beauty.

I thought about it more it's true that states is important but we all have our own individual preferences.

Mine are:

• A beautiful constructed system. (when you fully understand a system it becomes beautiful)
• Beautiful chess move.
• A Individuals natural talents
• Anything you built with your own hands. A vision coming to life.
• Nostalgia like Peak childhood memories or visiting those places
• Anything you're infatuated with. Like your first girlfriend.
• A beautiful story like seven pounds

You'll only know what state is when you lose it.

 A healthy person has a default state that is generally relaxed and allows itself to be receptive to the beauty in life but when you lose that default state due to chronic illness your permanently out of touch with the beauty in this world and every day is at best neutral. For example your having a bad day there's resistance to everything it's hard just to open a can of beans somehow you manage to do it wrong, but when we have a good day everything is funny, everything flows easily, the colors are more Vivid. Past a certain age the body gets trapped in a sick default state and there are no more good days, just eating is suffering.

When I first made a game engine from scratch in C++, every part of that system I was intimately connected with, the process of building it makes you fall in love with it. It's a romantic process.

But what I didn't know is my state is what allowed me to connect with it so deeply and of course the quality was way higher because of that.

There are so many games that when I first played them it was a magical experience but it was my state that allowed it to be magical.

I know what beauty is without seeing it in dog shit, thank you. I'll leave that to the flies. They are me too, so they can see it for me.😜

I'd say it's more about the self-transcendent nature of beauty. It may not be about the object of perception, but perhaps about the fact that it exists--existence itself. Like wondering: what is this experience really about?

For example, where is beauty found? You may read a poem that don't quite understand, or perhaps find it uninspiring. Although the poem remains the same, after going through a particular experience, reading it again may take on a different meaning, making it particularly beautiful to you this time.

I think the most beautiful thing is peace. In the stillness of true peace lies the most beautiful bliss.
