Beauty awaits. Where? Within and without, you need only open your eyes, both the physical and those of the soul. There are two ways of seeing: objectively, or what appears to be “out there,” and subjectively—that which you perceive on the screen of the mind. Which is real? All of it, dear one. If, when you look about, you do not perceive beauty, ask the soul to reveal true beauty to you and gaze with the soul. More will be revealed. Look beyond the surface always, for in the wholeness lies Truth and Joy.
You are so very loved.
White Chrysanthemum – frequently symbolizes death and grief, especially in Asia, thus often used for funerals. But can also represent love and devotion. So in this setting, maybe the illustration is supposed to communicate love across the veil??
When the question “Where?” arose, i was overwhelmingly flooded with answers to the point of drowning in the truth that need not ask.
Always beautiful, always appropriate to myeline! Many thanks dear Suzanne
All of it is real. Yes. And the real part of that is that it was only real because you were seeing it as real. It was YOU seeing it as real. Did you miss seeing something, or being something; knowing something, care about something etc. Of course you did. That cannot BE otherwise. Therein is the obvious reason to ask of, look into, imagine, study, etc., different points of view. That is why the understanding of Truth is so important. Truth is not ‘one thing’ or ‘the other’. Truth is all things. Truth can be manipulated and misconstrued etc., but IT remains Truth. You have a Truth! Cling to that. It will carry you to where you need to be.
Be mindful of what you perceive on the screen of the mind: there’s still a difference between “perception” and “projection”. Projections are far more illusory than perceptions, and it’s not necessarily easy to discern between the two – projections, at best, are a lot more informative about yourself than what’s around you, but they don’t necessarily match something you’re trying to perceive that’s “outside” of you.
The awakened way not only allows you to perceive beauty: IT IS what allows you to be who you are… the beautiful being you are created. Furthermore, it is what assists you in creating the beautiful world in which you aim to live. It does not offer you instant understanding of perfection though it always provides proof that perfection is intact and you are allowed to discover it… …all in due course, of course.
