synopsis

Synopsis

What really matters? Surprisingly, it is beauty—True Beauty. We have all experienced moments of True Beauty—whether seeing a field of flowers, hearing a child laugh, or feeling in harmony with everything around us. Practicing True Beauty—not to be mistaken for glamour—puts us in synchronicity with the healing of our planet as well as on the path of spiritual evolution. Most importantly, by learning to engage with beauty more often, we can heal our cultural dysfunctions and transform our world and our role within it to be more positive and generative. Beauty as Action guides us on the journey to become practitioners of True Beauty through simple, everyday actions that don’t require esoteric tools or objects. With humor, anecdotes, and dashes of philosophy, author, shamanic practitioner, and inventor Lisa Z. Lindahl shows us how we can: 1. Consciously practice the pursuit and cultivation of True Beauty beyond surfaces and appearances 2.Recognize and honor the presence of True Beauty while we actively engage in creating it 3. Preserve and return the prominence of True Beauty in our global culture For the sake of ourselves and our world, we must act now. Beauty as Action shows us how.

Book Excerpt

Beauty as Action

I believe “common ugly” is that which we personally do not resonate with, and there is what I’ll call “true ugly,” which, defined below, is gratuitous, purposeless destruction and does not further the life-force.

Here are some definitions of ugly to consider before we go on. These are definitions that operate in the True Beauty ontology:

1. Ugly is that which intentionally suppresses the life-force.

2. Ugly is gratuitous destruction with no phoenix in sight.

3. Ugly is an energy that has only negative impact.

Beauty is not in the face;
beauty is a light in the heart.

—Kahlil Gibran
