Beauty is a divine guide to steer by. It shows us how to create a harmonious world. When we create with beauty and insist upon it in our lives, we see that beauty has always been integral to us.
I think that we are each here at this time to bring beauty back to humanity in our uniquely special ways. I know for certain that my personal mission is to show people the emotional beauty that is already in them, that always goes back to the spiritual. Of course, beauty can seem silly because we have been taught that it’s not important. We have been trained to resist beauty, to avoid looking it in the face, and to even to suspect it of deception. We have been told to be clever instead and to mask how we really feel. But when we resist beauty’s call, we lose our very selves.
Humanity has forgotten so much beauty, and so we have forgotten ourselves. We have created ugliness instead, and so we have greatly suffered. So often, too, we have let others tell us what is beautiful, even when it is not. We haven’t listened to what moves us to the core, and so we’ve confused beauty with artifice that has no lasting value.
If you look closely, you will notice just how well we have all been trained to uphold what is trendy and fashionable – to fixate on celebrity, royalty, and society, and to admire exclusivity. The very hierarchy that harms us has been made to seem desirable. It goes without saying that this is not beauty.
I have always felt that our modern world is lacking beauty, and this feels incredibly jarring. Since I was a child, I’ve noticed that so much of what humanity creates is ugly, wasteful, and depleted. It feels painful to see the endless waste, to see the ground robbed of trees and ripped open, the sky filled with toxic smoke, and the land covered in barren asphalt and concrete. It is bewildering to me that humankind can render places completely devoid of life – places that once sang with the beauty of nature.
We have destroyed our very home by letting our egos take over with short-term greed. We have devalued beauty and sold it quickly at perilous cost.
Beauty is calling out to humanity, if only we will listen. We must realize that we are responsible for what we create, and that creating with beauty resonates with the soul.
Beauty sparks our greatest passions and reminds us of the exquisite creativity that we are capable of – the one-of-a-kind talents we have each brought to this earth. And when we give in to the creative flow of beauty, we find our beautiful selves again. We get back to the innocence inside – that pure, unaffected, uncalculating, and unpretentious source within all life; our spiritual beauty beyond compare.
Right now, we are being given giant opportunities to open ourselves up to spiritual beauty so we can emerge as upgraded human beings. If you haven’t already done so, open yourself up to the energies of transformation that are flooding our planet and allow them to bring out the exquisite beauty in you. Allow yourself to fully feel the emotions that beauty stirs up, whether from a haunting piece of music, a romantic poem, or the kindness of a human being. Let yourself be moved by the sublime, the poetic and the profound, and love this feeling with all of your heart!
And let yourself be moved by nature most of all because it holds the most healing beauty. Have you ever noticed the tremendous peace that being in nature can bring? This is because nature doesn’t judge. It encompasses all-accepting unconditional love. This is your essence too. So let the beauty of nature show you your authentic self that is forever loving and uniquely gorgeous with light. Let it whisper the sublime truth that opens your heart to how divinely beautiful you are.
Just lovely! One thing that I’m noticing as I grow spiritually is the awarness of nature. How I enjoy watching squarrels chase each other, listening to the birds or just feeling a breeze across my face. This post helps me understand the transformation that’s taking place. Thanks!
I love it Vernon! Oh isn’t it so true about nature? It’s so great the way you describe it. …I find myself feeling instantly healed when I sit in nature. I feel no need for thinking or language. Just being. I think nature shows us what presence is – so effortlessly. It’s thrilling to say that this is how transformation is feeling too!
Great to have you here : ) ~Suzy
I see beauty in all forms, some living, some created to help mankind live in a beautiful world. While we try to create beauty we also create great areas of wasted land, material and lives. All of this is done to “create” beauty. One person may think that a certain way of creating also creates beauty while hie/her partner may see that same structure be beautiful if something was changed.
We were all given free thinking brains with the ability to create. I often wonder if maybe we humans may want to take a step back and look at what nature has created for our own enjoyment. Take the human that we sit next to. Do we look at the beauty in lines that form that persons body? What about the beauty that is hidden from our view? We can only see the inner beauty in others if we look within ourselves. That is where the beauty of life is. The beauty is in the way that they think and move, it is in the words that they think.
For many human beings their sense of beauty is in what they can hold, control or command. Many human beings do not see the beauty in a small child playing happily in a room or the small bird fluttering around a flowering plant.
Hi James, I really enjoyed our email “conversation” and how you shared that we can only see the inner beauty of others if we look within ourselves. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your eye-opening insight here. I especially love what you say about nature.
Personally I feel that so many of us have been asleep to our own version of beauty. We’ve been on auto pilot under the egos’ control. I want to see more of us wake up to what we truly think is beautiful and let it guide us. I feel this will happen exponentially this month during this monumental shift in consciousness! With much gratitude ~Suzy
Suzy,
I can so identify with you here. I remember standing outside as a kid in Back Bay (located in Virginia Beach) and listening to this strange noise roaring across the pastures at my grandparent’s horse farm. I didn’t know it at the time, but it was all the development – new housing, shopping centers, traffic, and business of the city – going on about five miles from where I used to play. I couldn’t see it because of all the woods and farmland that stood between us, but it was like a monster slowly approaching and encroaching upon the beauty of nature. I miss that area when it was so much open countryside. It’s still pretty in places, but not like it was!
Awesome post, thank you!
Wow, what a telling story. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Your post is pure beauty in the form words Suzy – how blessed we are to share this experience of beauty which lies beyond words. Nature reminds us how the apparently random and chaotic is truly beautiful for in its disorder we sense the majesty and ungraspable order in divine creation, and release our grip a little on our human ideals of order and [apparent] control. For me Nature sings eloquently of the wisdom of disorder and uncertainty – if we embrace it we are free as the birds!!
Love, Light & Peace to one and all.
Spencer
I am soaking in the beauty of your comment because truly it touches the soul! It reminds me that infinite possibility lives in the “chaos” – the uncertainty is limitlesssness itself.
Thank you for your kind words and for being here!
