Making Time for Yourself and for Beauty

[@vidwindow]

i went to see andre 3000 during the middle of the week a little bit ago and actually requested the next day off of work because i wanted to really take it in and not rush to wake up the next morning to head into work. it was a huge reset, it allowed me to enjoy the concert itself, but also talking to strangers about it, noticing people’s immaculate outfits, lingering in the lobby before going home and performing my nighttime routine. those moments are rare, but i always make sure to treat them as seriously and as precious as possible.

[@HeavenSentHoney]

YES THANK YOU PERFECT EXAMPLE

[@stellarose1980]

You definitely need time to contemplate the atmosphere of Andre 3000 👉

Beauty and Discipline is a hell of a combo. Who knew? Most original channel on KZbin.

[@HeavenSentHoney]

People have been severely misguided when it comes to beauty, I'll tell ya.

[@anikagrace2215]

Thank you for this! As a young person, I often feel that I need to rush to "get where I need to be" later in life. But when I really look at it, I realize I don't care about being "successful". I want to live.

Two videos in a week, I feel so spoiled 🥰

[@k-oree]

When you brought up the etymology of ‘beautiful’ I was reminded of when I visited Rome and I saw the small amount of decorative detail left on the Colosseum that hadn’t completely eroded- several erotes playing with animals. That was the first time I realized how close beauty is with violence. To depict such gentle fragility in a gladiator arena was like witnessing Venus holding hands with Mars.

[@uvbluebrry]

beautifully said.

Recently finished reading Nabokov’s “Ada or Ardor,” and this video sparks a lot of parallels for me with its final part which goes into the essence of or rather, ‘texture of time.’ Memory and imagination transcend time, and therefore beauty, as it belongs to the realm of imagination and ideas. This for me is a neat way of explaining that feeling you described of beauty stopping time. When in a creative headspace or contemplating beauty, one is less conscious of the passage of time. Also, in the same way that we as sensualist beings strive to seize or possess time, we struggle to do the same with beauty. As the novel’s main character, Van, says, “I wish to caress time… I delight sensually in time, in the fall of its folds, in the very impalpability of its grayish gauze, in the coolness of its continuum” (p. 536-37).

[@esterlopes7806]

girl, you are AWESOME. reading camille paglia years ago has changed my life and i see that it has also changed yours! i used to live in total fragmentation, immersed in my imaginative selfcenteredness and at the same time feeling extremely guilty for it to an incapacitating degree. well... i still do from time to time, but now i allow myself to see the beauty in it and then i redeem myself through art. a painful but divine ritual. i love that you're spreading these ideas about beauty on youtube. i have a lot of the same references as you and they're NOT talked about enough!

[@annaviolette_art]

I've been on a similar journey. I've cut down on a lot of activities so that I can enjoy more deeply the things I do. Planning things so there is space in between - space to rest, recover, and just be. Taking more breaks. Becoming slower. Giving myself more time. No more rushing, no more feeling like I'm chasing something, or that I'm trying to tick of things on a list... it never feels good.

[@QoraxAudio]

Yes the appreciation of an experience costs time, just like the experience itself.

[@syntheticsilkwood2206]

You have enhanced my brain chemistry in this past year I don't feel bad living the way I already did because of you AND improving on it

[@LotusesGalaxyOcean]

If you haven’t already read Politics and the English Language by George Orwell I think you might enjoy it. He discusses in it how language shapes thought and vice versa. And it is a scorching indictment of the vague evasion of opinion and nontent of today. That symbiosis between thought, language and culture I thought you might consider through your focus on beauty. I personally find it fascinating to consider how our current communications reflect our thoughts and priorities. Ironically enough the general person’s haste and carelessness in language uncomfortably neatly mirrors in lifestyle.

[@krisp1878]

Hey, you have an incredible amount of talent that is expressed as very original ideas. An appreciation of beauty is not shallow. This is an important breakthrough for me that I achieved watching your channel. Don't forget your life is another. And last week, I actually used a plate for my McDonald's!

[@rafal2936]

i watch your videos religiously i'm glad you exist otherwise i wouldnt really know what to watch fr . lots of love

[@HeavenSentHoney]

❤

[@carlaconce]

you’re changing my life

[@estheteLD]

Same same. In my simplifying era. Sorting what stays and what goes in all areas of my life lately. It feels Soooo goooood. Working towards my minimalist era. Even my style is changing. It's good stuff.

[@stellarose1980]

Balancing time can be so tricky sometimes, it’s really about making the time just like how you give yourself multiple days to create your art/content in segments. The more time you give in, the more quality and value will turn out. PS your golden halo around your head is amazing. Symbolic of how enlightened you are!

[@bricabracomania383]

That resonates a lot with my own experiences this year. An alchemical fire operation - calcinatio - burning away all the volatile and flammable substances so that only the fireproof material is left. Last several years provided great conditions to look inwards, understand oneself better and distill our own unique values - at least that's what I saw in the circle of my close ones.

[@lorensims4846]

It's only as complicated as you make it. There is beauty in simplicity. I think it's good to run up to your limit at the end of the year. That way you can start the new year fresh.

[@Thejjudy]

I absolutely love your videos, so refreshing! I would really enjoy a video on how to learn to like taking care of ones personal appearance and self maintainance for people who it doesnt come naturally to, or who struggle with making time and effort due to tiredness /depression.

[@floofymuffin]

Absolutely love your background/backdrop and the obvious care and attention you put into making your videos beautiful

[@Μαρια-γ8δ]

Wishing you millions of devoted subscribers, this world needs beauty and peace... love and prosperity... kisses from a Greek girl ❤

[@veronabarberini3942]

Your intelligence is a total turn on, your vocabulary inspires You go girl👍👍👍👍👍

[@rhodo-sally]

last week, I played my first show all year and I made sure to begin my beautification process early in the day 😎 I felt much more confident and relaxed than when I'm in a rush to get ready and get there

[@HeavenSentHoney]

You should look into Dita von Tesse's pre-show ritual! Love that you found a way to slip right into your performance, natural and cool.

[@idontknowyetwhoiam]

Celine please please pleeeeease do a video on how you were raised and your relationship to your family, particularly your mom. Not for nothing but you seem like you were loved, atleast enough to feel safe enough to explore your identity and create yourself. I could be wrong but it does seem that way. For me not having had that, I just wana know so bad how the people who I view as “stable” grew up. I have a lot of resentment for the prison I grew up in and it makes me really sad to see how it stunted my growth despite being 30 and just now trying to form an identity but not really knowing where to start.

[@snowhitesnowhite1111]

Just listening to your soothing voice, and watching you speak, with your beautiful chandelier earrings reflecting the light like the Louvre in Paris, made me forget my day that was full of worry and strife. Instead, your 18:25 minute video stopped time…….perfectly. 💖

[@HeavenSentHoney]

You are so sweet

[@snowhitesnowhite1111]

@ Thank you! I am a Twin Flame and a Lightworker. It is our duty to speak from the Heart. 💚 Your videos Awaken a lot of people. Keep it up. Your Truth and Honesty allows others to defrost and drop barriers. 🥶 Happy Holidays Love.🎄❤️🕊️

[@fenixnew1790]

My hypersensual Moon in Taurus feels like I' ve discovered another secret shrine, where I can relax and enjoy your words about what's so dear to me... beauty in all her forms and manifestations... It's a pleasure to meet you

[@DP-oi9nd]

Merci. ❄️

[@cassiecollingsworth7407]

I feel you. Chronically late always in a rush

[@lolachlih3136]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart I’ve learned so much since coming across your channel ❤ your so talented and creative reading Camilla Paglia has changed my life in a positive way thanks to you for recommending her books!!

[@SignalLostOverAndOverAgain]

98% of the time we are not the problem. It is our lives that are the problem. We don't need to change ourselves. We need to change our lives. Only when we have faith in ourselves will people see us for who we are. Ability, knowledge, and experience

[@HeavenSentHoney]

Having faith in yourself is changing, if you once did not have faith. Acquiring knowledge and experience is also a part of change babe. I would almost always say mind over matter, and how you look at things is more important than the situation you're in.

[@SignalLostOverAndOverAgain]

​@HeavenSentHoney What I am trying to say is that it is hard being a healthy person leading an unhealthy life. The first step in being a healthy person is leading a healthy life. Generally speaking, the world is not a healthy place to live and that's why we see so many people leading unhealthy lives. In a sense, we have to live apart from the world. That seems to be what you are doing. You are seeking a healthier life. You are doing that through seeking excellence. We all should. I agree the way we see ourselves and life is all important too. But the way we see ourselves and life doesn’t change us. It changes how we value ourselves and what we value in life. And more importantly that will change the lives we choose

[@johannchristophbatz8831]

Thanks

[@johannchristophbatz8831]

Thanks for puttung it into words!

[@HeavenSentHoney]

Thank you honey!!! ❤️❤️

[@feralblueprints]

Thank you for this, Celine 🙏 i devour everything you post and you have given me so much. I'm cultivating the habit you suggest of reading a poem every morning, and I'd highly recommend Margaret Atwood's collection Paper Boat if you haven't read it yet. Today's poem was called "Digging"--austere, brutal, and of course, beautiful. Worth a read. Thank you again 🖤

[@HeavenSentHoney]

Thank you for the recommendation love! I have heard great things about Atwood.

[@JulianRaphael-pr8jc]

Dear Mz. C. to split a hair: you say Socrates proposed an Eternal Ideal Realm along w/Plato when most commentators, historians of Philosophy would, as far as i understand, agree Socrates never made much of the notion since he was devoted mostly only to applying his "Philosophic Method" ie The Socratic Method. Dialectics, if i'm not mistaken. Beyond that Socrates was most reluctant to ally himself w/ any World View or propound any sort of Metaphysics in any detail (he mentioned he heard voices when no one was present and he valued what these voices imparted). If i may be so presumptuous; i imagine your confusion arises from the fact that we only have Plato, and a few other of his students accounts (students of Socrates, i mean) of just what it was Socrates was about. However there is, i believe, a clear distinction in the writings of Plato between the accounts of Socrates and then, as you mentioned, REPUBLIC or Allegory of the Cave etc and it is in these works where Plato propounds an Eternal Realm of Ideas. I have heard, Aristotle believed such a celestial, atemporal template kinda has to exist. Various Thinkers have considered the subject, it is in many ways the most central question, but, as far as we know Socrates gave no exact indication which side of the fence he sat!

[@JulianRaphael-pr8jc]

Oops! No, i take all of the above back! Sorry! Just found out that the Allegory of the Cave is part of The REPUBLIC and that Socrates is the main interlocutor. Duh!

[@sarajamshidi6034]

Today I made a wish and it was for you to never ever stop making videos ❤❤

[@HeavenSentHoney]

That is so precious. Thank you!

[@hendrikm9569]

Did you read Platos Parmenides? It is said to be platos hardest dialogue to understand and maybe it is a refutation of the forms, however, experts aren't sure. I personally don't think it is, and while I haven't had the energy to properly give it the time needed, I am looking forward to it. Dr. Sledge of the KZbin channel Esoterica recommended the Hackett edition, which has quite extensive commentary, which I am going to use, when I have the energy, to get to it. I did read it before, but that was a german translation (my native language) which doesn't offer such commentary. It is a fascinating book, but definitely very hard.

[@HeavenSentHoney]

Oh yeah. Aided analysis is SOOOO important especially if you are approaching subjects without a teacher or aren't a student at university. I often have to use KZbin and lectures from professors on here to make sure what I read was interpreted correctly! Good luck to you in revisiting the text! I'll probably have to read the text eventually. But for now I am a total novice haha.

I'm guessing Betony Vernon, Bliss Foster, Rick Owens runway shows...

[@stellamaxwell777]

Much better 😊 Happy Holidays to you, too! I’m sorry this year was tough for you but I also think challenges create the momentum for growth and personal development-an opportunity to choose who you want to become. I also wanted to mention that as your videos have increased in quality, your voice has lowered and the presence of vocal fry has become more common. I’ve noticed it in the past few videos, although I’m guessing maybe you have a cold? I just thought I would mention it in case this was not a conscious decision on your part. Have a good weekend!

Love how your natural nails look

[@mjatis]

I think you are beautiful. I love that you do not have any tattoos (visible ones anyway) and I feel that that enhances a woman’s beauty, where I find tattoos no matter how small or “feminine”, make a woman seem hard to me. Now that it seems everyone has tattoos, I think you stand out more without them. As a women who finds deep beauty in revering your body I wonder what your thoughts and philosophy on this is.

[@BrianLim-sj3lj]

Got that right again and on time.again. I just realized what I always knew yesterday, but while in the fire, it was even more meaningful. If there are people without siblings who are teaching themselves how to draw and have two narcissistic parents who have no reason to hold back at all anymore, the world should go back in time to prevent them from having that kid accidentally on purpose to seal their meaningless deal. Any attempts to achieve world peace mean nothing if there’s a case of that going on anywhere. It’s an actual worst nightmare that only gets worse. And drawing isn’t easy. Any slight thought wandering to any other place because of emotion, especially fear of throwing your stuff out and not ever giving you your personal documents to make it more impossible and painful to survive, really makes it hard to doodle. It’s like being in a space dogfight for the first time when your father is gunning your friends down in the Death Star trench and you’re assuming the shot can be made at the buzzer. You get credit for letting go, but there’s another force that you need to find that allows yourself to let go. Makes sense when I describe it to myself. Today was also the first day when a couple stopped and waited at the bus stop near me on the way to work. My next 9 hours would be Hell and I threw my cat food in the spot where the crows eat it everyday, and they were hanging out on the telephone poles cawing. The couple was still walking up and saw me toss the cat food and they stood there two feet from the spot. I’m not angry, or expecting them to know that humans scare all things, but that ruined my morning. But work is always a time vampire. But so is everything else that doesn’t stop for things that matter. So I blame myself. Wish there was a parallel plane of existence that played by my rules. Or less people telling anyone to do anything. I don’t command. I did as they said for always, unless I could lie or fake it, knowing the outcome would be less than what I’d want for myself, mostly just entirely meaningless. I played their game of schools for a couple decades, and not once have they ever screwed themselves like I’d asked. Shouldn’t even have to smack them to get their classes out of my recess. I always felt like I demanded more from myself anyway. And their requirements just felt like obstacles that conditioned people into comfort addicts who were proud of unimpressive achievements. Drawing well is still impressive. But only because most people quit early and replace it with an admiration of how they can comprehend letters, yet always misinterpret reading the newspaper in same way as their neighbors I like how they love to start by saying “I read..” before they say something because it’s obvious that they’re really just bragging and showing off that they read something. Then you just get a bunch of highly motivated people who don’t know that they don’t think. Dangerous. Don’t see why they find everything they do so much holier than me and my doodling and minding my own business, while not being thanked as I failed tests on purpose but probably understood what I wanted to better than them. Not even aware that people need to rant to themselves in this space you’ve provided for us. More than most have done. Thanks again, and happy holidays! I feel guilty for wasting my own time commenting on KZbin videos that I never did before. That’s how I know you’re good. Your own time and sleep are gifts and you owe us nothing. Get me out of hell if you’re not busy someday though, and don’t worry, I think you’d be too bossy of me to think of you as a dating option. Trying to draw here still

[@SimplyaMemberoftheAudience]

I agree. I just simply want to ease through life surrendered only by the best this world has to offer in ever aspect of my life to the minutest detail. However, I feel that this current constructed world is determined to destroy my efforts. How does one fight against life itself?! The garden of Eden --- God's pleasure palace-- is where I was meant to dwell. Give me only the best and time to enjoy it. I will fight to the death to obtain this reality for myself.

[@Mr_Boifriend]

could you do a video discussing the ugliness (or beauty, I guess…) of pornography? its something i struggle with, & i find it a very ugly habit, even if the content is sometimes beautiful (tasteful images of beautiful women)

This was good 🤍 gave me much to think about - I was just telling my friend how the last few months have been fun but so packed that I feel like I just lost all those moments in my life since they went by so fast… this coming winter will definitely be a slow down season
