Arabesque is a technique exclusively specific to Islam to do the art creativity. The arabesque is not a pattern but a rhythm, consist of an incantation in unendingly repeat of the motif, until the transcription of the mental “dhikr” is reached simply means “knock” the door of the divine to find inspiration. The Sufis practised, it by starting first the ritual with prolonged repetition of the name Allah, then the scared formula especially needed followed by a large scale ceremony. The motif can also be repeated subjects or figures.
The arabesque corresponds to a religious vision as it is dependent on its words and verses that finished at 6666. The arabesque has also its connection with the “maze” comprising a criss-cross pattern of paths. All mazes share its common characteristic of complexity and difficulty of ingress and egress i.e. the act of going in and going out. The maze, which is also a representation of the depth of the unconscious mind, can serve as a light manifestation after defeating the tougher obstacles in the path.
When you go inside the mosque you see the chanted words of a verse from the Koran on its wall and from that the product of desire forms under the influence of psyche to the arabesque. The sacred knowledge of the aimed issue calls for an inspiration as an echo to the rituals.
Hindu, Chinese and Japanese religions have their own paths parallel to arabesque. The Veda of the Hindu serves as inspiration.
The Christian culture has no pagan symbol; it has instead Christ image symbolized by faithful affection. The Holy Spirit is unlimited, no need to go through the hell of maze to find an inspiration.
Ignorance links with the soul Milky Way. The mind has no choice but to be left in the cold. You have the feel for creativity but without the tools, you are simply left behind bars.
Thus religions lead to tragic consequences.
