Katie Sayeedi

We know lots of beautiful things. But do we know Beauty itself? Today, we talk about Plato's idea of getting to the higher forms of things, using a map of reality, The Divided Line, to help us do so. 

Then, we look at a few different ways to seek the higher forms of things, including spending time with nature, meditating, and, ultimately, contemplating. And as someone who has been practicing this for more than a year, I can guarantee that it will change your outlook on life for the better. But in order to do so, we have to constantly seek these higher forms. Seek Beauty.
