The art brain is a part of the mind that wants emotion, revelation and inspiration. And when it discovers these things, it falls in love. It is passionate, loyal and irrational. It needs symbols, experiences and moments that transcend the normal. It listens to voices, follows leaders and both uplifts and expands our understanding of the world. Expanded consciousness, elevated states, flow and religious ecstasies are all terms that describe the art brain in operation.
It has no direct voice, but its presence can be felt through meaningful emotional reactions like empathy or laughter.
