The Importance of Your Eyes

God said:

Look into other people's eyes, and they will begin to see you. They will see the truth of you. You may have avoided looking into other people's eyes because you did not want to be seen. You thought perhaps you had something to hide.

When you look directly into others' eyes, you will also see yourself reflected, for all seeing is two-way. Whatever you see, you see through your own eyes.

Never mind what other people think they see. Pay attention to what you see.

If what you presently see does not please you, look from another angle. There is always another angle. Sometimes you have to turn things inside out in order to see clearly.

You are one who sees. And you are now becoming one who understands. You will see yourself reflected in others' eyes, but you will not find yourself there. Whatever you are looking for, you will not find it in someone else. No one else can fill you. The world cannot fill you.

Look away from the world for a moment, and look within, for there is much going on inside you. There are levels you have no idea of. Incredible love and beauty lie within you. Anything else but love and beauty are not part of you. They are interlopers. They are not you. They feed off you.

When you find turmoil within yourself, undermine it with kindness, just as when your stomach is upset, you soothe it. When you give turmoil this regard, and still it stays, then disregard it. Maybe this outlandish negativity just wants to come and go at its own pace without influence from you. But, in any case, it will not stay long. It certainly will not stay forever.

Negativity does not have a lease. It has no lien on you. It does not belong to you. You owe it nothing. Serve it notice, and then go on about your life.

Many of the things you think are within you are outside of you. You have internalized them, but they are not internal to you.

Do not keep that which is not yours to keep. Do not hold on. There is nothing you have to have. You certainly don't need to have uncomfortable feelings.

Not everything in the world is valuable to you. Put your attention on what is worth attention. Petty thoughts are not worth your attention. Comparisons are not worth your attention. What is worth your attention? That which is ennobling is worth your attention.

Although you will not find yourself when you look into other people's eyes, you will find clues. See what happens when you look directly and deeply into all eyes. You will feel renewed energy. You will gain appreciation. And you will stimulate others' souls.

A glance from you is worth something. It is worth a lot. You may have nothing else to give, but you still have light from your eyes to give.

When you look deeply into another's eyes, you are shining diamonds on them. You are like the light from the sun, stars, and moon. You are. Give some of the same light to everyone who comes before you.

This is not mere eye contact I speak of. It goes deeper than that. And now you know. And now you will spread My light through your eyes.

Your eyes are to give blessings. They must alight a while in order to bless. Your eyes will ignite hearts. You are the tinder.

When you find turmoil within

When you find turmoil within yourself, undermine it with kindness, just as when your stomach is upset, you soothe it. When you give turmoil this regard, and still it stays, then disregard it. Maybe this outlandish negativity just wants to come and go at its own pace without influence from you. But, in any case, it will not stay long. It certainly will not stay forever.

I really like hearing this. It releases some of the pressure of having to fix myself all the time. What an impossible job!

More turmoil within

I have always found it difficult to look other people in the eye, always feeling a powerful urge to look away. When others pointed out this unpleasant compulsion, I realized that this is a bad habit, but still I struggled with it. I could never quite figure out why, but this letter seems to hold my answer. “You may have avoided looking into other people’s eyes because you did not want to be seen. You thought perhaps you had something to hide.” I resonate with this statement, it feels for me both true and freeing.

On reflection about this, it seems that there is something tremendously powerful about accepting yourself just as you are. Like taking a good hard look, seeing objectively and appreciating that seeing the truth gives solid footing and relaxes at the same time.

Jochen, your honest and open discussion about the pressure to fix yourself does for me what this letter and my being honest to myself about my difficulty looking into the eyes others also does. It is a comforting feeling to know we are all human and that is completely ok. Imperfections can even be appreciated.

I like the sound of the message in other letters that there is no hurry. We can grow and evolve at our own pace, and if I understand correctly, that pace is always perfect.
