How Much Should the World Affect Us?

This Dramatic Presentation of the philosophy Aesthetic Realism will feature:

Aesthetic Realism & Awareness by Eli Siegel

“We want to see things and we want to protect ourselves from seeing….This spring and summer there is going to be a tremendous commotion in the fields of this world: Insects are going to do all their whirling; winds and colors will mingle with flowers….There is not a thing in this world which doesn’t tell you something about yourself.”

What’s Wrong with Flirting?
Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson

“Flirting is the desire for another person to be interested in you with you having less of an interest or none at all in that person. Do you go after that?” – Eli Siegel

And

The Beauty of Baseball Shows Us How We Want to Be!
In this exciting talk, given at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Aesthetic Realism consultant Ernest DeFilippis says:

“Why does a person feel so exhilarated as the bat he’s holding in his hands solidly meets that ball? And what meaning does it have for the life of everyone?…To hit a baseball well is to meet fairly what’s not ourselves—reality in the form of that round sphere.”

—and more!
