Beauty is connected with the heart. The student is introduced to the subtle possibilities of beauty and then gradually to the possibilities of the heart. In short beauty is the door to the treasury of the heart's wisdom. Thus the way of beauty is the way of the heart. The Initiate on The Path Of Beauty gradually recognizes, learns, and applies for the good, The Law Of Beauty, which reveals how beauty leads to joy.
Nothing so tests the heart as conscious patience.
It then becomes one of the Initiate's greatest goals to build a bridge and connect these two laws in consciousness. It is truly a very personal Bridge of Joyous-Patience. Beauty leads to joy. Patience is the source of Bliss. If we can discern where, if at all, joy and patience become two ends of the same bridge, then truly we could say that The Path of Beauty leads to bliss.
