超然物外的美｜Transcendent Beauty
我花了大半生的时间追求"美"，学习设计和艺术，从事设计工作，创造了室内空间、室外环境和氛围的美。毫无疑问，设计是与人相关的工作，它涉及人们之间的协调，头脑风暴、灵感启发和潜能激发的美。这是很多人忽视的美。那种美是什么呢？它是人们从中获得乐趣的美，是被带有信息的空间所感染的美，也是自我感觉能够服务他人的内在真实的美。
后者的美是间接的，是由设计师赋予空间影响力和领导者赋予团队的力量所衍生出的美，从而为人们带来启发和疗愈。
十多年前，我开始思考，为什么不将创造力直接应用于人身上，成为关于人的事业呢？
将创造力应用于表现实物之美和表现人之美是不同的，前者是商业化、策略性和目标导向的，而创造出的美融合了多方面的元素，包括业主、设计师、市场以及利益相关者的意见。而应用于表现人之美的创造力，则需要放下自我，将两个人的对话变成一个，全身心地投入到当事人身上。通过突然的创造性提问激发对方的思维，直到自我觉察和觉醒的时刻。
原来美可以"超然物外"，真善美是相通的。它超越了我们的感官，进入非感官的领域，是意识的美。从一个人的气场、眼神交流和非语言的细微迹象中被体验。这是人们在觉醒的时刻体验到的美，是自我觉察的美，是揭开谜底的美。它是人们内在的"本自具足"所展现出来的美。
人生在世，需要经历真善美，以体验人生的价值。它们不是一种需求，而是一种缘分，一种使命，一种借用了大自然力量的存在。
我的美学范围已经扩展，从物质的美到人们的美。这让我感到愉悦！
I've dedicated a significant portion of my life to pursuing "beauty," studying design and art, practicing design, and achieving beauty in interior spaces, outdoor environments, and atmospheres. Undoubtedly, design is a human endeavor, involving the coordination of people during the creative process, with its beauty stemming from brainstorming, inspiring ideas, and unleashing potentials. This is a type of beauty that many tend to overlook. So, what is this beauty? It's the beauty that brings joy to people, the beauty that is transmitted through spaces filled with meaningful information, and the intrinsic and authentic beauty experienced when one feels capable of serving others.
The latter beauty is indirect, derived from the influence designers bestow upon spaces and the empowerment leaders provide to their teams, ultimately inspiring and healing people.
Over a decade ago, I began questioning myself, "Why not directly unleash creativity onto humanity and make it my life's work?"
Applying creativity to manifest the beauty of physical objects is distinct from applying it to showcase the beauty of human beings. The former is commercial, strategic, and goal-oriented, where the resulting beauty is a mixture of various elements, including those from clients, designers, markets, and stakeholders. On the other hand, the application of creativity to showcase human beauty requires emptying oneself, transforming a conversation between two individuals into one, and wholeheartedly immersing oneself in the person being addressed. Through creatively probing questions that unexpectedly arise, one can inspire the other's thinking until the moment of self-awareness and enlightenment arrives.
It turns out that beauty can be "transcendent," where truth, goodness, and beauty are interconnected. It surpasses our senses, reaching non-perceptible realms—a beauty of consciousness. This beauty is experienced through a person's aura, eye contact, and subtle non-verbal cues. It's the beauty people encounter in moments of awakening, self-awareness, and the unraveling of mysteries. It's the beauty of discovering the inherent potential within individuals.
Throughout our lives, we need to experience truth, goodness, and beauty to truly appreciate the value of life. They are not mere desires but rather serendipitous encounters, a sense of purpose, and a harnessing of the power of nature.
My understanding of beauty has expanded, transcending the realm of physical objects to embrace the beauty of people. It brings me a profound sense of joy!
Love.
