The truth about beauty is that such awareness comes from consciousness, not the mind. When we look at beauty through the mind, the critical function begins to dissect it, to analyze it, and — worse still — to acclimate to it. You could have the most beautiful woman in the world at your side, but sooner or later you will just regard her as normal if you view her only through the mind. The mind will find a way to sap the magic out of everything if you feed it.
