I understand what you are saying Albert and i do agree, but have you considered the holism of what physical means in relation to consciousness and what consciousness means to physical?
That which we perceive as beauty within the physical, we do so far reasons that are not just necessarily body based.
There is a deeper harmony and meaning to the perception of beauty even here, that relates to consciousness.
I'm not saying it's as simple as people with beautiful faces or what not, having beautiful souls--i think we have all had the experience wherein this was sometimes quite contrary, but what we experience as physicality is to some degree a symbolic reflection of that within consciousness and of what we call the nonphysical.
Also note that those individuals born with beautiful faces and bodies, and as they live very spiteful and selfish lives, well they don't tend to age gracefully whatsoever, and start to reflect the ugliness on the inside. Vice versa, i've met middle aged and older people, who were not "lookers" when they were young, but seemingly because of the great and consistent beauty within, tend to age gracefully and become more pleasing to look at, both in an aura way and in a physical way too.
A more pure Light being, if they decided to manifest into this reality, could manifest in any way as far as looks go, if there is a reason or purpose to, but if they are just "translating" their energy here as is, they will be what we perceive as very physically beautiful, for that reflects and represents their beauty within.
I suspect, for example, that Yeshua's mother Miriam--his "twin Soul" according to one source, was quite physically and unusually beautiful. I doubt such an evolved Soul had any attachment to having a certain kind of body and face as far as appearance goes, but maybe it was to some extent her Souls beauty writing itself into the physical clay some?
There is MUCH to this subject, and it's quite relative, but genetics are both of the Earth earthy (and thus don't have much to do with our individual consciousness/soul energy) but also influenced by our individual consciousness/soul energy.
Sometimes a more harmonious and beautiful Soul will choose an uglier body for reasons of growth or karmic balancing, or because they are just not that attached to same and that was what the opportunity presented, and vice versa lot of immature souls are quite attached to having great looking bodies, but even then, genetics and the physical is not as FIXED or set as we tend to think it is. It's more a malleable clay than we realize and our Souls can and do influence same both automatically and sometimes consciously.
For example, there are a number of what i consider high sources that talk about the reality and ability to keep staying young while connected to a body, even way past what people think they should live to age wise. This can be an "outer indication" or symbol, of the consciousness who remains "young at heart" or rather loving, sweet, innocent, and pure.
Another example of the consciousness within, writing itself into or influencing the body physical, the "projected, symbolic image or reflection" of same. And that's perhaps the best definition of what the physical is and means, it's a somewhat distorted reflection or after image of what consciousness is, expressed in a symbolic manner and form.
My sense is that as humanity goes through these Earth changes, and if we handle them right and grow to that golden age that so many different sources have talked about, that in living in tune with our spirits, and in harmony with the earth, attuning more to love, eating healthy and exercising properly, etc that the forms of humans many generations down the line will become somewhat slightly changed and refined, and great outer beauty will become the norm rather than the exception.
Meanwhile, we have to work with what we got and the opportunities we have.
A good question is, what is beauty at it's core or essence. I think "harmony" and balance is perhaps what both applies to both physical beauty and spiritual beauty.
In astrology, the Planet Venus is most associated with physical beauty, good looks, etc. Venus is also associated with inner character stuff that is related to kindness, tolerance, patience, sweetness, socialability, lovingness, harmony, and other traits we associate with closer to the spirit than not--aspects of refinement. It's interesting to note that often when Venus is very strong in person's chart, particularly in relation to the Rising/Ascendent sign (and particularly when in the 1st House or conjunct the Rising degree), there is usually a lot of physical beauty or good looks, and tends to be more of those positive Venusian traits too. But Venus does have it's dark side as well, and in a difficult chart wherein there is otherwise a lot of disharmony and the more selfishness and/or materialistic symbols are very strong also (Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Pluto principally), a strong Venus as well can indicate superficiality, manipulation, obsession with their image and beauty, behind the scenes gossiping and backbiting, laziness, over attachment to money/wealth, etc (traditionally negative "feminine" or Yin traits).
