The single eye

just a thought that might resonate for someone; In the tradition of the great fasters: Buddha, Jesus, and others, what place has 'attention'? Not swept to each twinge and stab, surely. So many feelings and sensations arise and pass away that a person would be dizzy and worn down utterly if they allowed the mind to be pulled into these tempests and small storms.

I don't think it's (merely) religious to take these words to heart: "If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be filled with light." Centering attention in that single eye is like finding the anchor and resting there,

while all about there may be waves--or calm. I think this is something that fits very well with rest; lying-down rest; with the Water Fast as an opportunity to *see* in a different way; from inside -with a knowing that can never be lost- in a place that exists within and beyond the body--To see that it is not food that keeps this body alive, that gives it life, but an incredible Grace. A Grace Light.




And, that one *is* (also) that Grace Light.


best wishes to everyone
