Thank you for lifting up Beardsley! He’s always resonated with me, but now with neuroscience research in the picture, his explanation of the aesthetic experience seems even more apt and relevant.
That felt freedom really feels like touching the divine. It's why religion tries to claim domain over it, saying any other experience than the one they provide is infernal or sinful. At least, this is my opinion based on my experiences.

Interesting connection. I probably agree based on my upbringing.
