Experiencing the consciousness of the world in this creative manner also corresponds to the separate formation of the work of our soul during the creation of a work... Embedding into one moment the entire action of the occurence, rendering a moment present and immortalising it is the actual purpose of creativity: the creation of a work. Thus the question of time is decisive in creation; and although the mental process of man are preconditioned by man's physical corporeality, man, by creating, answers in a way the question of time objectively and validly for the whole cosmos and not only for the human species. Art is the meaning of the universe, even though the enterprise is only human.
