Trends In Feminine Beauty

It's human nature to get fascinated by a beauty. The attitude to the feminine beauty, to the womanhood itself has a long Christian history in the West. The woman has never been that much seen as the beautiful creation of God. Moreover, a woman is an evil herself, a torn on the glorious path of a man. This disrespectful attitude to the womanhood had brought its fruits as a feministic movement in the 20th century, with all these millions of western women desperately crying for love and adoration.

If we track down anything written about beauty in two thousand years of theology we can summarize the tradition into two statements: first, beauty is trivial and second, should the matter comes up at all, beauty is dangerous. Today with the West slowly turning its ego-oriented head to the orient we suddenly discover that the position of women there has never been that bad as we used to learn. In order to understand how deep and beautiful the respect for women in the Asian and Arabian world is, we can just look the source of their cultures.

“Woman is the miracle of the creation. Matchless und incompatible in her image and beauty she reigns in the seven worlds. She is the blossoming flower full of fragrance in the garden of life" said zarathustra (the founder of the Iran). And though in the earlier ages of the human history Woman as Mother has been worshiped everywhere in the world, nowadays is it only in India that people worship the Goddess in her various aspects. Japan is famous for cladding its women in the most sophisticated and decorative dresses. In Russia one can find a deeply rooted tradition of adoring the feminine beauty.

Ambrose Bierce (1958) once wrote, “To men a man is but a mind. Who cares what face he carries or what he wears? But woman's body is a woman". The simplification of the woman's beautiful image in the West leads to the vast tendency of today in actual undressing her. At the same time the main idea of underlining a feminine beauty in Orient is in decorating and dressing her up! The people of India have expended limitless energy and creativity in the invention of ornaments that celebrate the human body.

Adorning the visible, material body, they feel, satisfies a universal longing for the embellishment of its intangible counterpart, namely the human spirit. The Indian idea being that only things covered with ornaments are beautiful. We are all so different but still we are all human. What makes us human? There are universal values which can be applied to everyone. People express them differently but they do exist in each of us. Like love, wisdom, generosity and many others.

According to recent research image of a beautiful woman stimulates the nerve lumbar plexus known as ‘second brain' of the stomach as same as some good food does. True beauty emits cool vibrations and is immediately appreciated by everyone. Beauty is something no one can describe and yet everyone is able to see it. These are typical characteristics of a spiritual subject: it is impossible to describe what spirit is unless and until you have felt it. But once you have felt the beauty of your spirit, you will see it everywhere.
