Mind reflecting external/internal, or any degree of synthesis between the two, representations.
Two sources of data coming into the brain via the nervous system, with the brain being the processing hub: Esoteric - cells, participating in organizations called organs, interacting with each other. Exoteric - phenomena, patterns organized in unities or participating in incidental congruence, interacting with each other, and the medium (light, atmosphere) via which the sense organs are stimulated, beginning the process of interpretation, and transmission via the nervous system, and reintegration in the brain into sensations, images, and in more sophisticated brains into noetic construct called abstractions.
In the brain the esoteric and exoteric mix and mingle, and are often combined together, and to varying degrees, into the abstractions. Therefore only higher minds can create art. This is both the benefit and the danger entailed in art. Via the nervous system it is integrated and via the nervous system it is returned to the external world in the form of action: movement, translated into a new medium like stone, like colour on canvas, like patterned atmospheric vibrations called music: art work. The art work represents the artist's synthesis of his own external and internal sources of data gathers and processed into abstractions. It is the representation of his abstractions, translated into a new medium and through it into another's nervous system.
This synthesis can be confused for the real, or can be used to manipulate the lower mind with metaphors and images that trigger memories, feelings, sensations.

Art is to the SuperOrganism, i.e. culture/civilization, gene/meme synthesis, what DNA is to the Organism. It expresses three dimensions of meaning, i.e. three levels of information are being externalized, a context, a subtext and a pretext, similarly DNA has three level of appearance, body, i.e. presence interpreted as appearance, nervous dynamic, i.e. activity, movement, behaviour, and mind, i.e. thought. Language is an art-form and is a culture's lifeblood, the externalization of inherited memories, couples with ongoing experiences in relation to intention, goals, objective, i.e. ideals, expectations, desires. Linguistic use, application, and its quality externalizes this tridiastic - three dimensional - synthesis.
A culture/civilization's art, i.e. gene/meme synthesis named SuperOrganism, represents its dynamic relationship with world, from youthfulness towards old age, as well as the particular condition of the SuperOrganism during any phase in its history. It is reasonable to assume that through art, and language use, a disease can be diagnosed, similar to how an individual's distress and inner turmoil can exhibit itself through its use and application of language - not only through the overt meanings, but also the implied and the covert meanings as part of every linguistic exchange, i.e. information exchanged through words, physical gestures, expressions, movement, and vocal rhythms, tones etc.
Sensuality must be connected to the intellectual. This is how the mind perceives what is meaningful, through a nuanced subjective experience, which reflects the world. Schopenhauer’s Willing is this symbiosis of objectivity/subjectivity which is our natural state of experience untainted by arbitrariness. Attaining heights of consciousness is about a reasoned submission to the sensations which dictate them.
Nihilism in art. Meaninglessness becomes absolute meaning. Psychological trauma will plant the seed that either grows into life of the self or withers in its death.

Lives in CCCP since a long time. Tells comrade commissar that his art has no meaning. Comrade: See that blue, that's Prussian blue, Zyklon B! That sounds like the right interpretation, comrade.
Lives in CCCP. Comrade: See that red figure? It's Hitler! Very good, comrade.
