[continued]

In all my consideration of attributes and qualities on the Circles, I don't think I have ever placed Beauty.* Others seem to regard beauty as a quality equivalent to Truth,** Goodness, Divinity etc.. I don't trust it because it seems to me to be or to have become too subjective: objective Beauty is presumably Perfection, the One, and therefore needs no other label. Nevertheless, I can understand Beauty in theory as a description of the degree of manifestation of the One, at least within the Separation, perhaps the Physical Separation.**

*[Cf. [Redbook4:144-145][19871020:2058b]{Angelic Hierarchies [continued (20)]}[20th October 1987], where it was inserted at a later date than this entry and with a question mark.]

**[Presumably a reference to Keats, ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ (final lines):

‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty, – that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’

– but also perhaps to statements by mathematicians that mathematical truth, in the form of equations etc., is or at least can be beautiful. <20170917>]
