The beauty experience-Through the eyes of the beholder

11.27.09

Maureen Sunde ArtworkHave you ever met someone and felt like you could see right through them? It almost seems like you can reflect into there heart , soul and spirit? If you have experienced that, what usually happens is you feel like you know them even though you have never met. An instant connection happens on all different levels. We usually describe as we were just destined to meet for what ever reason. You may even say,“Isn’t that weird?” I don’t think it is weird at all. Some of the most life enhancing human spirit connections are made this way. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in destiny. A deeper meaning.

You may have also experienced the opposite reaction to meeting people in your life.There is a saying that I believe is true; “When I judge, I lose the experience, when I “be” I am the experience.” What experience is that? The experience of looking at what needs to be seen, the experience of seeing the human spirit in someone .Seeing the beauty inside someone, which is the true essence of who they are.

You may be one of those that quietly say to yourself (or maybe you even say it out loud to your friends)”I don’t judge people”. Most of us like to believe, or at least pretend, that we don’t judge. I hate to burst your bubble, but you aren’t exempt just by claiming that you don’t judge people. We all do it. It’s just human nature, not human spirit. In fact it’s a built-in survival strategy, and it’s usually caused by fear. You see, we all have fears and our fears manifest themselves in judgments. We judge ourselves and others mostly by what we see on the outside. Sometimes you can show up as the most authentic looking knockoff of yourself. Possibly even fooling your self. Know this: Even with a knock off bag, you still have to look inside for authenticity.

Personal Confession~ I used to care a lot about what people thought of me until someone told me something that changed my life. Here’s the scenario; At the beginning of my career of teaching my personal growth Breakthrough Workshops, I was concerned about how to present a particular subject, and quite unaware that I was about to have a breakthrough of my own before I started. My mentor and good friend said to me, “What people think of you is none of your business. What you think of you is your business! Take the focus off of you, and you will be able to see through people. All you will see is beauty”. That day he gave me a new set of eyes, and it was a major life changing moment for me! At that moment I made a choice to see through people into their heart and soul, and what happened as a result is that I automatically became more authentic and began to see a new world through human spirit. Since I was no longer worried about people making judgments on me, it took the focus off taking and turned it into something real. From that moment on, BEAUTY showed up in my life instead of bodies!

Here is the definition of beauty from the dictionary: The experience of “beauty” often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”[1] In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one’s own existence. A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with personal meaning.

A positive reflection?

The saying “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” I say it’s time we upgrade that saying to “Beauty is through the eyes of the beholder. How does it happen? It shows up when YOU show up authentically and just “be” yourself, but that takes a willingness to stop judging yourself as well as not judging others.

Are you interested in having a breakthrough? It takes a new set of eyes to see something different. It starts with the willingness and new point of view for yourself and others. It is really a choice. Imagine looking through a camera lens, which sees things from the particular angle that you have pointed it towards. The angle is the lens’ ONLY point of view at that moment, but If you stood in a different position, the camera lens would have a different point of view. It isn’t possible to make a change or have a breakthrough without looking at something with a different point of view. You will see a positive reflection. It comes from standing in a different position.

Looking at our own reflection with a different point of view causes change for everyone! Often we will look in the mirror and look for approval for our own outer shell. Make no mistake, THIS is judgment in its purist form, and might be a surprise to you to know that you, who think you’re not judgmental, are judging yourself! Why not look at yourself with a different point of view and focus on who you are and who you want to be for people? You will see that true beauty exists through your experience, because your focus will be on what is inside instead of what you see from the outside. If you do this you will “be” different, and see differently. (By the way, did you notice that the word “beauty” starts with the letters “BE”?)

Beauty is seen through . . . eyes! Your eyes. A beautiful reflection of you.

    lol a handful of of the feedback folks post make me giggle, normally i ask myself whether they really read the content pages and items before posting or whether they simply just look at the subject of the post and submit the very first thought that pops into their brain. at any rate, it is good to look over keen commentary every now and then in contrast to the exact same, traditional blog vomit that i regularly see on the web i’m off to take up a smattering of rounds of facebook poker so long
