“No. There are no cosmetics stores on our planet,” Litera subtly shook her head. She emanated a slight sense of cold. But not from negativity, but rather from some kind of crystal purity in her gaze and her energy in general. It was as if she was an ice spring, beating from the bowels of Earth and cooling those around her with her freshness.
“Not even creams?” Monica almost froze in surprise. All her life she used hand cream and could hardly imagine herself without this soothing evening ritual. One of the guides accompanied her and Mila around the neighborhood of the adaptation hospital.
“Not creams, nor any other chemically produced products for application to the skin.
Thousands of years ago, humanity abandoned the illusions of beauty and came to the only true attitude towards the body. The attitude of love, unity, and sensing its real needs.
Any cosmetic products just create an illusion of solving health problems. The skin, like any other organ, is a continuation of the human soul, expressed in physical reality by dense matter. It accurately reflects the state of human energy. Any internal conflicts or disharmony within the soul absolutely cannot be resolved by applying a face full of makeup or using substances that artificially create a short-term illusion of healthy skin on one’s face and body. The people of the planet Lucis do not require cosmetics in order to feel beautiful.
On the contrary, most of all we value natural beauty, which is nothing but the expression of the Divine in each person through their physical appearance. A person who exists in a state of love and joy glows with beauty from within. Look at your daughter,” Mila was running around with other children under a tree, playing tag and screaming loudly when the 'it' tried to touch her, “Does she need cosmetics?”
“Of course not,” Monica replied thoughtfully.
“Agreed. I think you have already felt what I mean. But, of course, if you have psychosomatic issues and they manifest themselves through the skin, our medical arsenal contains reparative bioenergy particles that can be used to significantly alleviate your physical condition. Only until you harmonize internally. Our specialists will be happy to help you with this if you wish.”
“No no, thanks. There are no illnesses. It's just… the habit of applying cream onto my hands,” Monica smiled awkwardly, slightly embarrassed.
“Relax.” Litera looked at the young woman with unexpected warmth, sensing Monica’s emotions and wanting to cheer her up after her characteristic straightforwardness. “This is inherent in most Earth women. I am used to it already. Our ancestors did exactly the same, they rubbed their skin with whatever was fashionable at the time, and only after a while, they realized that this caused more harm than good. It’s just that their souls had the choice to have that kind of experience, and not feel the real needs of their souls and bodies.” She waved her hand nonchalantly. “It's Ok.”
After some thought, the guide added, “If you are used to paying this kind of attention to yourself, Monica, why don’t you try to perform the same actions, but without cream, taking care of yourself with only a loving touch? In the form of giving yourself a light hand massage, for example. After all, the main effect of applying these creams is not in their chemical structure, but in the energy of the attention you direct towards yourself and the loving presence that you give to your skin and body as a whole...”
