“Everyone gets the face they deserve after age forty,” goes the saying. But is it really true?

I think not – at least, not for everyone. It seems that some people never have the face they “deserve,” even in youth.

As humans are expanding our awareness of what is possible – realizing we can create our world and our bodies in ways we prefer – this is changing. The Consciousness Playground (CP) theme since July has been Body Sculpting: changing one’s physical form through the use of consciousness alone. Yes, we can do this, and yes, we ARE doing this!

It is, in my view, about darn time.

The following story (true except for the names) illustrates how unfair life can apparently be in the realm of physical appearance.

In a job I had years ago, there were two women I saw nearly every day. Both Elsa and Marianne inevitably drew second glances from people that saw them for the first time. Elsa, who worked in the office across the hall from mine, was gorgeous. Tall and slender, with a beautiful face and natural blond hair, she could easily have been a fashion model.

Marianne also inspired people do double-takes, but for a different reason – because she was so homely. She was not disfigured in any way; her weight was average and she was well-groomed. Marianne made the best of what nature had given her, but her features were such that many people would have called her ugly.

In a previous job I had worked with Marianne and knew her to be an excellent, reliable employee as well as extraordinarily kind. After she showed up for an interview at the office where I had been working for a couple of years, I told my boss what I knew about Marianne. My boss later confided in me that Marianne had not come across well at all in the interview, and that she had hired her as an administrative assistant based solely on my strong recommendation. Once they got to know Marianne, everyone in the office was very glad my boss had made that decision.

Marianne was a joy to work with. In my estimation, she was not a nice person in compensation for being plain; her sweetness was innate (though her shyness probably was at least partly due to her appearance). She was a beautiful soul housed in a not-so-beautiful physical body.

The gorgeous Elsa was, in contrast, cold, arrogant, and sometimes downright mean. One afternoon my coworker Bill observed her being pointlessly cruel to Marianne. After that, he told me, he no longer perceived Elsa as beautiful because he knew what an ugly person she was inside. I felt that way too, once I got to know her a bit, but was surprised at Bill’s assertion because he was – well, a guy.

The truth was, Elsa not a b#(@& because she was beautiful – she was a b#(@& because that was her nature. If people had the face they deserved, she would have looked like a hag! Comparing the two women, who had levels of physical attractiveness that were so much in contrast to their natures, my sense of justice was breached. How, I wondered, could this possibly be fair?

I was not, of course, privy to the “big picture,” nor are any of us really. Undoubtedly there were ways in which these women’s physical appearance was facilitating the life experiences their souls chose for growth. I did not begrudge Elsa her beauty; I just wished that Marianne could have a chance to look even close to as beautiful as she was inside.

Perhaps now, she does.

Consciousness pioneers (which the CP is rife with) are boldly going forth into the endeavor of changing our physical bodies using consciousness alone.

This isn’t just theory; we are getting results! Some of the improvements are physically observable, to the point that they invite comment from people who have no idea that the CP member is engaged in body sculpting. In other cases, the benefits are more subtle but very real.

Alexi,
Thank you for sharing these insights of what is True Beauty! I was just pondering this very topic and feeling alittle down about not being able to shift my own physical unique issues (yet!), even though I have spent alot of years trying to shift things holistically.

As you stated so aptly, my physical appearance facilitates the life experiences my soul has chosen for growth. Your words have been today’s “light-bulb” moment!!!
Blessings
Kristin
