"Beholding Beauty"
Somebody famous once said “beauty is just a fleeting moment”
but I would whole heartedly disagree.
Beauty is not something that changes it is always present waiting to be discovered in the moments between actions or to be recognized in the movement of an eye lash that reveals the miracle which is unfolding all around us.
Words can unleash a flood of beauty. Values are the measure, the instrument with which we evaluate the things our brain absorbs.
Who’s the master of these values? How did we attach opinion to it?
Beauty is always undergoing an evolution. Every time period invented different standards and used the gullibility of our brain to manipulate us to conform our judgment about beauty.
This denigrates and desecrates “Beauty” to a mere measure of levels according to an indoctrinated populous.
If we adhere to this pattern we miss out on the power of “Beauty” to uplift our experience of life.
The nucleus of beauty is that it is in one place but that it is also everywhere.
What I am saying is “it exists all around us
but is only detected when we freeze our conditioning and allow ourselves to be aware of the moment, the right now.”
Everything else is just a memory that is replayed like an old record.
We are seeing beings but all information we receive through our eye balls is just information of light frequencies.
Only our preformed, based on previous encounters, concepts and ideas decide how we catalog something and then the emotion sets in following on account of that reviewed information.
We assume we experience things anew every time but what we really do is letting all new information run through a preconditioned filter that informs what we think about a given situation.
Everything happens so fast that our conscious mind is not truly aware of the preparation done in the subconscious.
You see beauty is in the eye of the beholder because what you behold decides how you perceive it, view it.
I hear complains that the world has become an ugly place but it has not become anything.
“The World” just is.
You can read in records for example by the Greek thinker Hiseth that the world is rotten and on the brink of destruction and this is from 2700 years ago.
We also have become entangled to fixated on things that don’t comply with our artificial standards, pre-occupied is the word.
We can stand in a field of lovely flowers and our mind
is focused on an inner political battle about who is more righteous then the other.
I just say one thing “beauty is the house love lives in” that means that it is not a place but it is a state of mind.
You don’t need to wear pink glasses or to be naïve, not even innocent to recognize the beauty all around you.
The shadow is always there next to us and if we always stare at it that’s all we are going to see.
Beauty is right there staring back at us constantly because actually that’s what we are.
You are beauty manifested in physical form.
We just forgot about it.
Don’t wait until beauty finds you but be it and see it.
Beauty is when you allow yourself to feel, to align with the inanimate and the animate to be grateful for its very existence.
When that happens a flood of loving desire unleashes an equilibrium induced by substances released by the body which alter your brain chemistry and let you experience a heightened sense of belonging and appreciation. The wonder is unfolding and revealing itself to open your heart and connect you with the source of beauty.
We are the authors of beauty. We write the script and we play in it.
If we don’t write in beautiful moments why do we expect them to show up?
Beauty is not like a fast driving car that comes out of nowhere and hits us like road kill. We actually have to slow down, approach it and declare it.
Now isn’t that beautifully said!
My conclusion is that beauty is everywhere
unless we avoid seeing it and labeling it differently.
So where ever you are
and who ever your are
know that you are beautiful.
