A Deeper Look at Various Forms of Beauty within Interconnected Life

The following is a comment I shared for the video, “The True Meaning of Beauty | Sadhguru“:

I often respect and admire Sadhguru’s profound teachings, but I’m reminded from within (once again) to always follow my inner guidance (Heart) first and foremost.

It seems that Sadhguru only shared a portion of the WHOLE picture, though I’m grateful that he shared another helpful perspective.

So I would love to share, yet, another expanded perspective, to contribute to the bigger picture, though I have no doubt that there are still many others out there that we can all learn from.

When we look at babies (or even older human beings), regardless of what emotional state they’re in, we see them as purely beautiful (and not just when they’re in a joyful state).

Once, I saw a professional photography photo of an elderly man (who appeared to be in his 100’s), crying; and it was deeply heartfelt, and one of the most beautiful images I had ever seen.

So you see, though he wasn’t joyful or exuberant, he was beautiful because he was in an authentic state.

I’ve been a witness to many people (regardless of age) who wept, cried, and even bawled hysterically; and they were beautiful to me because those priceless moments were natural, flowing, deeply heartfelt, and profoundly healing.

And to me, it’s more beautiful and beneficial than when we judge, deny, and suppress our “negative” emotions and feelings—forcing them to go away, rather than have pure compassion for ourselves—in order to convince self and others that we’re only (or mostly) positive, which is a faรงade.

If we were to teach children of this world that they are only beautiful IF they’re in a joyful, or other positive state, this can cause them to suppress other “negative” aspects of their WHOLE selves that are not accepted by, and approved of, by general society; hence, the showing up with forced, fake smiles with sad eyes.

I’m also grateful that I had opportunities in the past to cross paths with some people who were so deeply beautiful on the inside, that their inner Light and Unconditional Love amplified their sheer Beingness, and it didn’t seem to matter what their outer, physical appearance looked like (even if their facial geometry wasn’t according to this world’s standards).

I’ve also seen some women and men throughout the world, who didn’t look close to models, or even supermodels—our general society’s unevolved, limited definition of what beauty is—but yet, the way they carried themselves, with such BOLD confidence and/or grace, was so beautiful and powerful to me.

There are many other examples of beauty that are not just in the limited box of what society considers a “positive” vibrational frequency state.

And thanks to this video, I realized more than ever before, that embracing any neutral aspect within the full-potential, Multidimensional, WHOLE self/Self, and simply Being authentic, IS True Beauty, the way all the creatures of Mother Nature—to include all the fascinating and colorful insects that Sadhguru mentioned—who effortlessly flow with the Cosmic River of Life.

For over 40 years of my Life, I’ve often struggled with this world’s definitions of what beauty is, especially from my main caretaker (my mother), who had also adopted society’s beliefs of what beauty is supposed to look like.

So my mother and relatives often shared “funny” told stories at family gatherings since I was a child, of how they used to call me “๋ชป๋‚œ์ด” (mote-nahn-ee meaning ‘ugly’ in Korean) since I was a baby, which I didn’t think much of at those times, since it seemed like more a term of endearment to them.

But I now wonder if their words—though expressed in a joking manner (with some truths to it)—somehow made a deep impression on my infant through toddler self (since words are powerful at a vibrational level), though I didn’t understand those words at the time with my logical mind.

Even throughout childhood, my mother often told me about all the “negative” features she noticed about my physical body, along with mixed messages that can be very confusing to a child.

This included the details of me: being very short (because I take after my bio dad, though she’s very short too; and, if I was taller, I could be Miss Korea), having tiny eyes (that need plastic surgery when I grow up), and a pig nose (that I should never fix with plastic surgery since it’s lucky).

And as I became older, she added that: my forehead is way darker than the rest of my face (which seemed abnormal to her), I have huge thighs (because, again, I take after my bio dad when it comes to negative features), and that I need to ensure that I ALWAYS wear makeup when I’m in public.

She also habitually became angry whenever I showed any facial expressions that weren’t positive, though she was often negative (projection): to include being very judgmental, angry, manipulative, controlling, and even violent.

And both my bio mother and my adoptive dad often discouraged crying, because they’re parents more than likely frowned upon expressing emotions as well, like many parents within this world back in the day.

So I often suppressed my true feelings in front of them, or went into my room to cry, in order to avoid being yelled at and/or receive beatings from my mom, and hear criticisms from my dad (like, “What the h_ _ _ are you crying about now?!” since he was conditioned to suppress his own emotions growing up in various, abusive, foster homes).

I realized as an older adult—in my 40’s, though my deep healing started in my mid-thirties—that my parents (like many parents within this world throughout human history) did their best from what they knew at whatever time (aka their state of awareness/consciousness during those times).

So I was able to UNconditionally forgive them (bio and step parents, and like others) in Divine perfect timing and order.

Because I’ve also learned (prior to that) that trying to FORCE forgiveness using our logical minds doesn’t work, especially when we’re not emotionally ready (due to suppressing our negative emotions that we judged as wrong and bad).

Our individual and Collective Ego often wants to do what’s right and good, and understandably so, since it’s been conditioned by this world’s society since childhood, to receive approval in order to survive.

So our logical mind can convince us to forgive for CONDITIONAL reasons, such as to:

  • hurry up and get over it already
  • convince self that one is strong
  • convince self and others that one is right and good
  • receive the approval and love of a higher power (whatever earthly name we give)
  • appear spiritual to self and others
  • go to heaven
  • live a better life after being reincarnated
  • avoid going to hell
  • avoid negative forms of karma
  • check the block off for the Universal Law of Giving and Receiving
  • etc.

This is why it’s so important for humanity and beyond to embrace our authentic, WHOLE selves/Selves, and not JUST what’s considered positive, right, and good according to the individual and Collective EGO—who often perceives Life experiences from a limited, human, 3D, linear perspective, rather than from the unlimited, spiritual, 5D plus, Multidimensional Perspective of Soul/Spirit within.

Though I’ve realized that this societal conditioning had a huge impact on me throughout my entire childhood and most of my adulthood (even somewhat now to be transparently honest), I’ve often been practicing daily to embrace and even deeply love (UNconditionally) more and more neutral aspects of WHOLE self/Self.

This includes learning to be unconditionally accepting (and even loving) of my physical appearance, embracing ALL neutral emotions (our inner compass always revealing our authentic state at whatever moment), and honoring my true feelings (language of the Soul).

And Peter Sage’s video about Unconditional Love, within his Ultimate Self Mastery course—that I’m currently committed to, among other creative projects—has recently helped me to further fall in love with the unique gift that I am; just like all other interconnected Life, we are both unique and parts of the greater WHOLE.
