Our purpose

Ninth Heaven exists to bring to light the good things of the world and to inspire the human spirit to the good. The question, “What does it mean to be human?” is a profound one. Through literature, art and the flourishing of culture, we hope to bring a constant reminder to the humanity within us. Art is called noticing, the act of noticing—of apprehending the beauty in the world. And in the imitation of things we conceive and comprehend, we are also changed and become more beautiful.

In every society, there must be a positive light and in this age of today and tomorrow, we aim for Ninth Heaven to be one such light. We want to inspire those with capacity to ask themselves “What can we do to help those around us?” and “What can we do to benefit every person in the world?”.

And the role of literature and art in the development of humankind is indispensable. What is poetry, if not the discourse between being itself and the human soul? What is literature, if not enunciating the ideals of the past and creating the future?

Through this celebration we hope to proliferate the sensitivity to beauty and depth in a world beyond mere matter and metal. And in this apprehended beauty, they will discover the goodness of the world and come to remembrance again of their own purpose and nature in life.

We are blessed and deeply grateful for your support in this endeavour: the endeavour of creating a more human and culturally enlightened world.
