*Topic of Choosing 4* 

    Wilderness

    In class we discussed a paper written by Dr. Redick titled Wilderness as Art. This reminded me of walking through the Nolan Trail a few days ago. As the cool wind blew on my face I walked through the sunlit forest, off trail of course. I picked up a leaf and began crumbling it in my hand. Funny how everything is like that, can be molded, lives a little, dies a little. Walking through those woods clears my mind more than anything I've done and it is always my first option to cool off or clear my head. I wonder what it is about nature that gives me this feeling? Is it everyone or do some people innately dislike nature?

 Ryan Swanson Search for Beauty TR 6:00-7:15     *Topic of Choosing 3* Extrasensory Perception in Relationships     Have you ever been having a conversation with your partner and both of you simultaneously recognize the same feeling each other are having? What king of perception does this involve? I believe that this connection is the very thing that makes relationships have that "spark" depicted in romantic films and movies. The aestheticism felt between the pair gravitates them toward one another and eventually forms a close, loving relationship that is extremely difficult to find. The reason I thought of this is our discussion of Kant and the fact that I had recently felt this way about someone.

Ryan Swanson Search for Beauty TR 6:00-7:15 *Assigned class book entry 1* Self-Emptying    In today's class, we examined quotes for the text involving the interaction between rituals and myths. Dance was existent before myth, and myth is the projection of ritual. I think it is interesting how dance has a certain power to increase the involvement of stories. Myth is something that many throughout time have used to guide their morals, desires, and lives. Showing myth through dance creates an interactive story that grabs the bystander and turns them into participants. Even if one does not take an active role in the motion and dance of the ritual, the experience itself is impossible not to be emotionally invested in on any level.     We also looked at a video of three women with makeup on making them look ghostly in white robes making very methodical, stiff movements. I feel that these women almost looked like they were attached to strings like a puppet or raised fr...

 Ryan Swanson Search for Beauty TR 6:00-7:15 *Topic of Choice 5* Tripping Shrooms     In today's class we discussed an experience with the psychedelic drug refered to as "mushrooms". I myself have had an experience with this drug and the amount of purity in the feelings of aestheticism are overwhelming. I have never felt so connected to more things in my life at once. It was as if I had come to a complete understanding with everything in the world and just allowed it to bask me in humility. The most interesting feeling is that of the sublime during this experience. Various things that made the slightest association to any sensory stimulus were intriguing. Trees made me feel so small in this world-- a particle if you will. I will always appreciate the insight I received from this experience and the beauty I realized. This drug elicits a sensation of beauty that seems so easily obtained if not on the drug, yet almost unattainable. It's as if it opens a different pathway...
