We tend to overcomplicate a whole lot of things in the modern world. I think there are many reasons for this, too many to get into right here and now. But one of those reasons is that the modern world says that there is no natural order and that therefore it’s up to us humans to fix and right everything. Which obviously is a scary thought. For example look at these diets where you have to take 50+ pills a day or do these crazy things that no one in recorded history would ever do.
And then people wonder why they don’t work. It’s because we think we have to tinker with X and Y and figure it all out ourselves where if we would just eat a natural diet we’d get all of that and more. Nature is far more advanced than man’s tenuous grasp of what makes man healthy and unhealthy. Things are far more simple than we make them out to be. There is a natural/primal/cosmic order that when aligned with makes things go right and when aligned against makes things go wrong.
Let’s use beauty as an example. What is beauty? What are we attracted to it? How does something become more beautiful? Is there a criteria for beauty? Why is there something deep in healthy humans that responds so strongly to beauty? And how can beauty be in everything from a view of a natural landscape, to the movements of a dance, to the notes of a song, to the efficiency of a military maneuver, to the shape of a woman’s backside? I want to discuss all of this and more here.
What Is Beauty? And Why Is It Important?
Healthy people recognize beauty and adore it, unhealthy people recognize beauty and abhor it. But why? What is beauty? To me beauty is a representation of the natural and cosmic order. The closer one gets to that order that more beautiful a thing is. Now at first this might seem wrong or even harsh depending on how you look at it. You might think “So you’re saying that things that are not beautiful are not right? Isn’t that a bit cruel?” And yes that is what I’m saying but no I don’t think its cruel.
I think its a statement of fact. Now I’m not saying that beauty represents goodness in and of itself in all facets. We all know a beautiful person can be truly awful, but so can ugly people. What I’m saying is that the beauty itself represents something good. It represents health and healthiness. What’s the difference between a physically attractive woman and a physically unattractive woman? When we really get down to it, it’s genetics and health.
What makes waists small and hips round? Proper hormones, genetic expression, and diet. What makes for proper hormones? Right lifestyle, right diet, and right genetic expression. What makes for right genetic expression? Proper diet and lifestyle through the bloodline. Meaning father and mother and grandparents and so on and so forth. Read about epigenetics if you want to know more about this. So a beautiful body is a representation of a healthy body. Granted this can be changed with surgery and the like. But all that is, is unnatural means to get closer to a natural order.
Talking About Beauty
This holds true beyond physical appearance as well. Why is a man laying down his for his brother beautiful but a man stealing the shirt off his brother’s back despicable? For those that do not believe in a primal/cosmic order there is really no reason for this. For society’s benefit? Who says society is any good? But I’m getting off on a tangent. For healthy human beings that one action (laying down of life) is beautiful because it represents actions and ways of being that are closer to the cosmic/primal order whereas the other is further away.
In this case it’d be more the cosmic order than the primal but I don’t want to get any more confusing with this article. My point is beauty is following the order, getting close to the order that goes beyond all things and that man has foolishly convinced himself he isn’t part of. And those of us who are healthy recognize this. Those that are unhealthy recognize this too and because of envy wish for it to be destroyed. Like a career woman who dates a bunch of guys who never settles down hating on a young happy mother.
Or a man who spends his life chasing money above all else and dies without heritage and alone. And plenty of other things out there. Beauty is healthy things and ugliness is unhealthy things when we really get down to it. Now one can be healthy physically but unhealthy mentally or spiritually and vice versa. The ideal would be to be “beautiful” at least in this definition across the board. Again health is beauty and beauty is health, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
