Introduction to The Pattern on the Trestleboard
In this reflection on the sixth statement of the Pattern on the Trestleboard, Reverend Ann Davies explores the concept of Beauty as a divine attribute rooted in the Self. Drawing from the esoteric teachings of the Tree of Life, she reveals how our perception of the world is a mirror of our inner awareness—and how learning to see through the eyes of the True Self transforms every aspect of life into a miracle of Divine Expression.
In all Things Great and Small I See the Beauty of the Divine Expression
The sixth Divine emanation is assigned to Adam, generic humanity, the Ego seated in the Hearts of Men, the Christ Awareness. It is the Imaging Making faculty centering the Tree and called Beauty.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” What we see in life is what we experience! If we interpret Life as ugly, then sordidness and ugliness becomes our lot. We experience whatever it is that we think we are.
It is our consciousness that sees! We see outside what we build inside. Remember the analogy of the dream. When we train ourselves to see from the level of the True Self, we see that everything is a miracle of Divine Expression. To a person in love, the beloved is beautiful no matter how anyone else may be seeing the same individual. This is the secret of true seeing!
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” What we see in life is what we experience!

Discover the Beauty of Life Through Divine Awareness
Fall in love with the miracle of manifested Life as an expression of the Divine and you will see it as it really is, instead of through the warped mirror of false identification which brings limited interpretation. Fall in love with the miracle of awareness, which is the way God experiences Self in Form, and you will see that all things great and small are the garments of the Lord of Life. Thus will you find in your own life that the Divine Poet in you sings joyous hymns of praise. And thus, also will your life become one of Beauty incarnate.
Love the Beauty of Life, and Life will bring you love and beauty! This the glorious Truth about the Self.
