DescriptionReligion, as an institutional and systematic set of beliefs, has been a means of division and differentiation for centuries, despite each religion’s ability to unify its individual believers through shared practices and ideologies. This thesis argues that there is in fact a universal religion, one discovered in the artifacts of man: his artistic creations. Presenting various works of literature as such artifacts, this paper reveals the universal and transcendent existence of man: the physicality of spirituality. Physicality is discussed as a triad: man experiences his earthly life in a physical body, captures the essence of that experience, and expresses said essence through various art forms. This triad of physicality, of existence, is the only means of truly knowing or manifesting the soul, the spirit. Expressing the physicality of his spirituality, man takes part in a universal religion that is art; his universal language is poetry.
