Do we sufficiently direct our thoughts to the subject of Beauty?

I think not.

We are too apt to regard Beauty as a merely superficial thing, and do not realize all that it implies. This was not the case with the great thinkers of the ancient world -- see the place which no less a one tha
Plato gives to Beauty as the expression of all that is highest and greatest in the system of the universe. These great men of old were no superficial thinkers, and, therefore, would never have elevated to the supreme place that which is only superficial. Therefore, we shall do well to ask, "What it is that these great minds found in the idea of Beauty which made it thus appeal to them as the most perfect outward expression of all that lies deepest in the fundamental laws of Being?" It is because, rightly apprehended, Beauty represents the most supreme living quality of Thought. It is the glorious overflowing of fullness of Love which indicates the presence of infinite reserves of Power behind it. It is the joyous profusion that shows the possession of inexhaustible stores of wealth which can afford to be thus lavish and yet remain as exhaustless as before. Read aright, Beauty is the index to the whole nature of Being.

Beauty is the exte
alization of Harmony, and Harmony is thencoordinated working of all the powers of Being, both in thenindividual and in the relation of the individual to the Infinitenfrom which it springs; and therefore this Harmony conducts us atnonce into the presence of the innermost undifferentiated Life.
Thus Beauty is in most immediate touch with the very Arcanumn(secret known to few) of Life; it is the brightness of glorynspreading itself over the sanctuary of the Divine Spirit. Fornif, viewed from without, Beauty is the province of the artistnand the poet, and lays hold of our emotions and appeals directlynto the innermost feelings of our heart, calling up the responsenof that within us which recognizes itself in the harmonynperceived without, this is only because it speeds across thenbridge of Reason with such quick feet that we pass from thenoutmost to the inmost and back again in the twinkling of an eye;nbut the bridge is still there and, retracing our steps morenleisurely, we shall find that, viewed from within, Beauty is nonless the province of the calm reasoner and analyst. What thenpoet and the artist seize upon intuitionally, he elaboratesngradually, but the result is the same in both cases; for nonintuition is true which does not admit of being expanded into anrational sequence of intelligible factors, and no argument isntrue which does not admit of being condensed into that rapidnsuggestion which is intuition.

Thus the impassioned artist and the calm thinker both find thatnthe only true Beauty proceeds naturally from the actualnconstruction of that which it expresses. It is not somethingnadded on as an afterthought, but something pre-existing in thenoriginal idea, something to which that idea naturally leads up,nand which pre-supposes that idea as affording it any raisonnd'être. The test of Beauty is, What does it express? Is itnmerely a veneer, a coat of paint laid on from without? Then itnis indeed nothing but a whited sepulcher, (a sepulcher is anburial place or container for relics. Pronounced (sepp'lker)) ancovering to hide the vacuity or deformity which needs to benremoved. But is it the true and natural outcome of what isnbeneath the surface? Then it is the index to super abounding
Life and Love and Intelligence, which is not content with merenutilitarianism hasting to escape at the earliest possible pointnfrom the labor of construction, as though from an enforced andnunwelcome task, but rejoicing over its work and unwilling tonquit it until it has expressed this rejoicing in every fittestntouch of form and color and exquisite proportion that thenmaterial will admit of, and this without departing by anhairbreadth from the original purpose of the design.
Wherever, therefore, we find Beauty, we may infer an enormousnreserve of Power behind it; in fact, we may look upon it as thenvisible expression of the great truth that Life-Power isninfinite. And when the inner meaning of Beauty is thus revealednto us, and we learn to know it as the very fullness andnoverflowing of Power, we shall find that we have gained a newnstandard for the guidance of our own lives.

About the Author

David Neagle is the President of Life is Now, Inc., a multimillion dollar global corporation dedicated to showing entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small business owners how to use the power of their minds to rapidly create quantum leaps in both business and personal arenas.

David’s life today is a far cry from his early years as a high school drop out from a blue collar family in Chicago. Before he was 21 years old, he was working on a dock driving a forklift for six and a half days a week to support his family. He accepted as much overtime as he could just to make $20,000 per year. He felt exhausted, miserable, and defeated.

Then, in September of 1989, what was supposed to be a rare relaxing day with family cruising down the Illinois River in a roomy boat quickly turned into a nightmare. David was pulled deep into the gates of a dam that shredded his flesh, broke his back, and nearly drowned him. No one expected him to survive the accident, and rescuer workers even told his family he was already dead. (Entire boats had been sucked into this same dam without survivors.) Little did he know that day would change the way he thought about everything.

In just 12 months, and with one simple change to his thinking, David tripled his income. Within the next two years, he became an executive corporate manager, a stock investor, and a business owner. Yet, he didn’t realize the principles he was using by accident were actually based on ancient wisdom and the power of the mind.

When he picked up the book, “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles, he recognized some of the techniques, setting him on his life-long journey to harness the power of human potential.
Knowing it’s easier to follow a path with someone who has already been there before, David sought mentors to guide him to new levels of success. (Because of his tremendous results with mentors like Bob Proctor and Tony Robbins, David firmly believes massive growth requires an upgrade in your mental software and a guide to get you there.)
Along the way, he also became an internationally known teacher of "The Science of Getting Rich," as well as an instructor of “God Works Through Faith” (by Robert A. Russell) which David Neagle calls a long-out-of-print masterpiece. He is also the author of “Just Believe,” a thumbnail of his personal system for manifestation, as well as “The Art of Success.” David publishes a regular online newsletter filled with strategies around building wealth and an ideal life.
In order to assist as many people as possible regardless of current financial status, David also has four levels of coaching – Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. A dynamic speaker, David also holds a life-altering, four-day event called “Experience the Reality of Success” where attendees have literally manifested tens of thousands of dollars before the event was even over. After the event many more go on to ea
7-figures using their newfound mindsets.
Today, David is known as the top Income Acceleration Coach in the world, and teaches thousands how to use tools they already have to create whatever they want in their lives. David teaches ancient wisdom we used to be connected with but has now been suppressed over the ages. He teaches in a unique step-by-step system anyone can follow. His methods have been called, ‘direct, straightforward, and down-to-earth without the woo-woo.’ And the results have been phenomenal.
When he’s not making a difference in other people’s lives, David is an involved parent in his children’s busy lives. He and his family often travel to tropical paradises as well as historical cities throughout the globe. Despite his brush with death, David still enjoys boating. He lives in Chicago, Illinois with his family, two goldfish, and their cat, Simon.
David has a passion to change the consciousness of the planet. An avid student, he seeks to constantly bring new levels of awareness to people so they can lead their greatest possible lives. Every person reached creates an exponential effect on the planet. David’s core mission is to bring higher levels of consciousness to as many people as possible, and find greater ways of helping people make those shifts more rapidly. When consciousness changes and awareness increases problems dissolve…and the human race makes real progress.
Change does NOT have to be difficult.

Just believe.
