AWE AND WONDER
Psychologist Dacher Keltner, writes that we experience awe and wonder in seven locations in life:“Nature: Encounters with the vastness, complexity, or beauty of the natural world, like mountains, oceans, or sunsets.
Collective Effervescence: The energy and unity felt in group experiences, such as during concerts, sports events, or religious ceremonies.
Moral Beauty: Experiencing the goodness or courage of others, such as acts of kindness, altruism, or resilience.
Music: The emotional and transformative power of music.
Visual Design: Art, architecture, or other creative expressions that showcase human ingenuity and beauty.
Life and Death: Moments of profound realization around birth, growth, mortality, and the cycle of life.
Epiphany: Sudden insights, breakthroughs, or spiritual experiences that shift perspectives or provide clarity.”
These very well cover the three transcendentals: The true, the beautiful, and the good as written in ancient philosophy. The Kingdom way: the true, the beautiful and the good. The Kingdom is Awe and Wonder.
