Welcome to the NOW

I am convinced life is divine...because I see beauty as an attribute that comes from the deepest level of life. The level that is beyond matter.

Beauty cannot be of biological origin. A matrix of atoms, protons and electrochemical impulses cannot be 'beautiful', at least not in the sexual sense.

Ones who look at sexuality only in terms of biology and biochemical, electrical responses are subconsciously reducing life to a mechanical, electro-chemical reality.

Pause and look carefully at the following photos.

What *feeling* do they generate in you?

"Thoughts and feelings" that only generate references to anatomy do not qualify as real feelings.

Thoughts that try to apply some kind of 'facial symmetry thumbrule/formula/database' to judge these faces as beautiful or ugly --- such thoughts do not know what beauty is. Or its opposite, for that matter.

Once again...do they look like photos of a bunch of proportionate or disproportionate facial anatomy?

Or is there anything 'whole' emanating, exuding, flowing out towards you?

Do you see an "emanation of the indwelling life" like Bryant would ask?

If you can see this radiance, this something that is exuding...welcome to the NOW!
