Ancient Solutions for Modern Dilemmas

Although we live in the Information Age, an absence of its expected wisdom is becoming more apparent everyday. You can access more information in one night on the internet than a King could have acquired in a month, and yet it seems we are no better off in some ways than we were thousands of years ago.

This is where Sixty-Four Arts comes in. Although we have the ability to aquire information faster than in any time of our history, it is often not the wisdom we truly seek. As information increases over-specialization becomes common and the ability to understand how things work as a whole is lost. The 64 Arts are an antidote for this. We want to exercise our ability to understand and apply it to subjects that are going to enrich our lives in the areas that matter most; our happiness, comfort, and spiritual growth.

Simply, Sixty-Four Arts is a philosophy that encourages studying many different arts and sciences for your own personal well-being. It is an attitude of curiosity and excitement. Over-specialization will lead the most creative person into a state of boredom. Conversely, studying the 64 Arts can offer a way for everyone to feel excited and alive again.

One of the true joys of being a child was the anticipation of discovering something new; study the 64 Arts and you will feel this again. So relax and open your mind as you explore this blog, and let this be the moment you begin to be the person you want to be.
