(The All-Becoming Entity)
SUBLIME(under the lintel or limen, at the threshold) - at the point of entering a new realm or beginning a new activity; unlimited in scope and/or potential.
limen [liminis] - threshold; liminal (adj.) - situated at a threshold, hence barely perceptible.
threshold - point of entering, an entrance, the outset of an action or project, point at which an action is triggered.
"In aesthetics, the sublime [from the Latinsublimis(looking up from) - under the lintel; high, lofty, elevated, exalted] is the quality of
greatness or vast magnitude, whether physical, moral, intellectual,
metaphysical, aesthetic, spiritual or artistic. The term especially
refers to a greatness with which nothing else can be compared and which
is beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement or imitation."
"The development of the concept of the sublime as an aesthetic quality
in nature, distinct from beauty, was first brought into prominence in the
eighteenth century in the writings of Anthony Ashley Cooper, third earl
of Shaftesbury, and John Dennis, in expressing an appreciation of the
fearful and irregular forms of external nature..."
