Single Eye

It's the Eye with which the Universe beholds itself, and knows itself divine.  Shelley

Mine Infant-Ey
Above the Sky
Discerning endless Space,
Did make me see
Two Sights in me,
Three Eys adorn'd my Face:
Two Luminaries in my Flesh
Did me refresh;
But one did lurk within,
Beneath my Skin,
That was of greater Worth than both the other;
For those were Twins; but this had ne'r a Brother.  Traherne


It is the wish of Wakan-Tanka (The Great Spirit) that the light enters into the darkness, that we may see not only with our two eyes, but with the one eye which is of the heart, and with which we see and know all that is true and good.  Black Elk of the Oglala Sioux

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.  Matt 6:22, King James Bible

When My Beloved Appears

When my Beloved appears,
With what eye do I see Him?

With His eye, not with mine,
For none sees Him except Himself.

 Ibn Arabi
