Beauty
They say that true beauty is within, and like most people, I once believed that this
was an empty platitude. We have all been brainwashed by the media, and the snake
oil salesmen of the 'beauty industry', that shallow, naturally impossible surface beauty
created by surgery, lighting and air brushing of photographs is the beauty which we
should strive for, but the truth is that this surface beauty is an illusion, it is not real.
The truth is that our heart is the centre of our being. We exist within whatever
radiates from our soul. It is what is within our heart that radiates from us, and it is
what is within our heart that we project to the world as who we are, because what is
within our heart is who we are.
For much of my life, I did not understand the truth, but the truth is real. When we
allow ourselves to see the true beauty of the world, and the true beauty in the people
around us, we begin to feel the beauty and pure love in our heart. As we allow the
pure love and beauty to radiate from within us, we begin to attract pure love and
beauty to us, which in turn increases the pure love and beauty within us and around
us.
There is no secret, and there is no magic formula. We need only allow ourselves to
see the beauty around us, and the process begins. We can start small by looking for
one new thing of beauty in our world each day, and very soon we will begin to see
beauty wherever we look, and we will begin to reflect the beauty that we see. We will
exist at the centre of the beauty and the pure love that has grown within us, and this
is what we radiate.
We are surrounded by a dark veil, which is made up of our fears, doubts, insecurities,
and negative emotions. The dark veil must be lifted. Only when the dark veil is lifted
can we allow our inner light to shine out. Only when the dark veil is lifted can we see
the beauty which is all around us.
If we focus on our difficulties, our misfortune, and insecurities, whether these are real
or imagined, they are what is at the centre of our being, and they are what radiates
from within us, and what we reflect to the world. If we can change our focus from the
'ugliness' within our lives to the 'beauty' within our lives we can turn our lives around.
Yes, it really it is that simple.
Only by removing the dark veil permanently, can we permanently see the light and
the beauty which is our world.
