I have always regarded an aesthetic experience as an experience that is pleasing to the senses, but I have never regarded it as a spiritual experience. Know that I have an understanding of the correlation between the two; I can definitely see how the aesthetic experience is related to the spiritual experience. I remember times of being in the temple, admiring the beauty of the building as well as feeling the spirit that is involved in suck an experience. This experience is also classified as an aesthetic experience because it involves all the senses that cause the individual to experience a trance. One that completely takes all other thoughts out of your mind and you completely focus on the beauty of the object you are admiring. I think that as we admire the beauties of the earth we can also experience this spiritual or aesthetic experience. As we admire these beauties and try to wrap our minds around the earthly beauties that God has provided for us, not only can we gain a better understanding of the purpose of this earth, but we can also come closer to our Heavenly Father. Therefore, we can always assume that an aesthetic experience can lead to a spiritual experience if we allow it.
