Sometimes in life, the time becomes
present: deep present, just present. When It happens, we feel the
whole universe; alive and burning univers inside the present time.
When It happens, language can't describe this fenomen: there aren't
enough words. When It happens, human consciousness feels plenitude.
There are a lot of ways to reach
plenitude. Putting our naked body in touch with natural elements is
one of those ways. Human specie has been nude for many years (200.000
years) in touch with air, water, and sun. Nowadays, some people think
that naked human body means scandal, sin, indecency, ugliness,
poverty, misery, dirtiness... But there is no manufactured dress more
beatiful than a rose or a lily. In spite we used all the gold in the
world to make that dress, we wouldn't achieve the beauty of those
flowers.
If we prevent any person from seeing a
rose during his whole life, when this person see accidentally a rose,
he (or she) will watch the rose with fear, he will examine its
thorns, he will not touch its petals for avoiding an urticaria. At
the end, he will declare that the rose is an strange flower, dark,
abrupt, too wild to be exhibited.
Nowadays, there are a lot of people
that is troubled by their own being. Many people consider that their
own body, and bodies of everybody, are enemies. They think that naked
bodies are danger and ugly realities. Many people go to the forest
and they tear off thorny plants, they pick up all the sharp stones,
they destroy all the poisonous mushrooms... and, at the end... these
people think that this way of action is a right behavior. They think,
wrongly, taht this action contribute to achieve a more beautiful
world.
Our body is a natural book, the book of
the nature. If we sentence this book to darkness, we will lose the
poem that existence sings through this book. Our body is only one
reality, an oneness. And when our body is naked, all the senses form
just one sense. The only sense (formed by all the senses) perceives
the harmony of nature. When It happens, we feel plenitude.
If we recover serenity of nakedness, we
will also recover the innocence that we lost when we started to wish
money, power, prestige, pride... Children lose their innocence when
they start to worry about their possessions. They lose their
innocence when they start to worry about what they have, instead of
worrying about what they are. When they start to worry about what
they show, instead of worrying about what they are. Being nude in
nature means recovering the beloved childhood. Nakedness is like a
sunlight which awake us from a nightmare; the nightmare of
consumption's civilization; the nightmare of utilitarianism.
Nakedness is a peaceful and liberating revolution against the chains
of some people that consider their body as a dirty reality; a
peaceful and liberating revolution against the imposition of fear's
morality... against the unhealthy conception of the own being.
Being obliged to hide body is like a
finger; a finger that point out a hidden reality; a finger that
clamors for a contradiction: the hidden reality is scandalous and
seductive, ugly and desirable, sinful and honourable... These
contradictions go into subconscious as bad seeds, and bodies are
converted into erotic objects.
The key to achieve dominion over
instincts is not the concealment of human body, but its knowledge.
When people hide body obsessively, then people increases their body's
morbidness. When people learn to discover human body, when they
realise that human body is a good and nice fruit of the nature, when
they discover that human body is not necessarily an erotic object,
then people have self-control and interior freedom. We must know
truth and watch reality face to face, without fears, complexs or
uncontrolled excitements... Then we will be free from body's
fetishism
Sin is only in the eyes of some people
that watch naked human bodies and they just see external reality
through the lenses of their own interior fears and guilt complexes.
They have suffered (unconsciously) a lot of years full of guilt
complexes and repression: the mistake of condemning natural
realities, of condemning a part of themselves; the mistake of not
assuming a part of their reality.
There are some countries and cultures
where the hands of the women, or the eyes of the women, have become
reason for sexual excitement. The more we hide human body, the more
It becomes perturbing reality. Human spirituality needs to recover
the lost ground of the body's beauty. Human spirituality must defeat
the economic empire of pornography. Human spirituality must eliminate
morbidness from human body, and It must contemplate body as a natural
reality.
Human body's beauty is a metaphor of
the invisible reality that accompanies body. It is an ikon that point
towards a more beautifull conscience. If we love the rose that we
have left in a star, then all roses will recall us our beloved rose.
Every human body will recall us human dignity if we achieve to
recognize ( in everybody we see) a person that deserves to be loved.
Naturist nudism can be a vaccine
against the use of human body as a consumption's product. Nudism can
also be the breaking-off with the enforced aesthetic of the mass
media... a breaking-off with the enforced aesthetic of tradition... a
breaking-off with the enforced aesthetic of the dark past centuries.
Naturist nudism allows us to recover natural aesthetic that has
evolved in Earth since the beginning of time. When human body is
naked and free in the nature, beside the sea and the yellow sand, It
shines as the most beautifull image in the whole universe, the most
serene, the most elegant; at least in the mind of people who lives in
harmony with nature. Naturist nudism allows us to enjoy natural
elements with all our senses, with all our skin. It allows that we to
fill us of wind, of sea, of sun, fully. It allows that we to feel
free and beautifull. It allows that we humbly to accept the dress
that univers has sewed for us. It allows that we to discover our
companions, free of fears. It allows us be accepted by companions as
we really are. It allows us to be conscious of present time, and that
we to live present time without longing for any future. It allows
that we to educate our daughters and sons with the idea of freedom,
free of fears, free of fetishism, free of disproportionate valuations
of body's parts.
People who reject naturist nudism
shouldn't condemn this reality without previous knowledge. Different
people undress due to different reasons. Most of these reasons are
healthy reasons. Perhaps some people who undress are victims of a lot
of repressed years (people who search sexual excitement). But most of
nude people, are honest persons, families, couples, friends... They
search freedom, peace, nature, beauty, sun, sea, light... They want
feel as a part of landscape. As Whalt Whitman said, when we are naked
in nature, we are not visitors, we are part of landscape.
