Summary/Abstract: Life in existence, as a temporary form of being, presupposes evolution, respectively a mobile perpetuum, a transformation and a rebirth, a dynamic path of cosmic consciousness. Such an awareness of the idea of evolution is possible only to man, to that embodied entity which we consider the highest, at the level of self-consciousness, which includes thought, reason, and imagination. But man can access a higher level, that of cosmic consciousness, which reflects the understanding of the realities/dimensions of the subtle/hidden worlds, connected with the theories of quantum vacuum, quantum mechanics or unified fields. If we agree with the idea that through ecstatic experiences, resulting from the practice of meditation and prayer, we can align ourselves with aspects of cosmic consciousness, awareness related to existence, being, inner evolution; there are as many themes that have preoccupied artists of all times who have moved towards a theme of the search for the spiritual path and communication with the world of symbols. Not infrequently this search for the Grail, the aspiration of many older but also newer composers, can involve inner experiences related to an experience of spiritual rebirth, which circumscribe an area of transpersonal, trans-subjective and supersensorial exploration. As contemporary artists who share the same search for union with the level of cosmic consciousness, they tend towards an artistic expression of a total, syncretic art.
