What is obvious to me, perhaps because of my gender, is that in the current US culture, the omnipresence of beauty industry advertising along with programs on corporate tv and radio have been fairly successful in producing a trance like state within too many women.
The ‘avarousness’ found at the heart of consumerism has been quite successful in supplanting a clear view of reality within the female brain with one of being born in the 'original sin' of having a lack...lack of beauty, lack of the right shape, color, height, length nails, texture of skin etc. My entire life, while I do know how my eye appreciates specific shapes and colors, I find those with inner beauty to be in fact beautiful when it comes to human beings. Anyone who has this pure radiance is immediately apprehended as being beautiful. Those who do not know this innate and true beauty appear to be sad and have a sad life.
