"as an avid observer of trends and trend predictions, i have noted a significant shift in what we find beautiful in our culture. instead of continuing to value youth for the sake of youth & flawlessness for the sake of flawlessness, I find that as people “awaken” they are starting to look less for commonly held ideals of perfection in terms of how their eyes discern external beauty & are more attracted to 1) beauty that shines from within & manifests without in the form of a fresh, natural glow & 2) an authenticity: personal authenticity is much cooler & hipper than being contrived or trying to fit an image
any good art designer or plastic surgeon can produce a “perfect” image (which is really only based on the mode of the moment anyway). the new beauty is one that shines from within. the new beauty makes us feel good, it’s not just some image of commonly accepted perfection that we are conditioned to consider beauty. clarity & love is the new beauty &, over time, those who embody unconditional love & increase the love-light within themselves will be seen to be (& actually will be) physically more attractive. plastic surgery, chemicals & the like place more density and poison in our being. with your new energy body, you will naturally blossom into enhanced visual beauty too!
i already see my contemporaries preferring to be around others that are pure of purpose & of spirit. the people that i know of that are leaders & think for themselves are choosing friends, dates & mates who embody this inner beauty first; beauty for the sake of beauty is not “de rigeur” & will eventually be recognized as meaningless as more & more people awaken to the illusion of the old beauty . . .
as the world stands now, it may be hard for you to imagine that this shift could be taking place. but, i am certain that this is where beauty-consciousness is going. . . an authentic glow coming from dropping old patterns, aggression and fears and truly being oneself is the new hot . . . "
