Are
our eyes connected to emotional energy?
Are our eyes connected to our soul?
Mo
Costandi, starts with the often repeated “… the eyes are the window into the
soul.”
He then looks at science from a machine perspective
(i.e. the object needs to be physically tangible, measureable in order to exist) to negate the existence of the soul. He also talks about the eyes revealing deep emotions, are involved in memory and in decision-making. For him it seems the brain (physical brain) and its link to the organ of the eyes are the significant items in this discussion.

The
question remains, are the eyes the window to the energy, the vibration of the
soul, our inner unique essence? How do the eyes affect our reaction to the
stimulus that they perceive?
I
would like to suggest a different paradigm. Based on my readings and exposure
to psychology and quantum physics, I would like to suggest that the “brain” is
comparable to a computer that controls the physical organs of our body. The
“brain” is not the source of thinking or feeling. Both thinking and feeling are
energy fields. They are flowing from our inner being, which is not as tangible
as the gray matter that we call the brain. Thinking and feeling are energy
fields emanating from the energy field called our soul or our inner being, the
essence of who we are.
Our
eyes are one of the most interactive organs of that which we experience. The
eyes observe the vibrations that we perceive.. The eyes are capable of reflecting
our connection or disconnection with what we are observing. They are more
reflective, that is, they share intentionally or unintentionally how we are
thinking and feeling toward that which we are experiencing. Whether they
reflect what we are experiencing or feeling or thinking depends on whether we
are comfortable, conscious of our feelings and allowing of the feeling,
thoughts to be shared. If we sense a lack of caring from another our defenses
can limit what the eyes reflect about our own feelings and thinking. If we
chose not to be sharing via our eyes, we use masks, perhaps multiple masks to
conceal our thoughts and feelings.
Recently
at a professional meeting I had an opportunity to reconnect with a friend
during the breaks. We hadn’t seen or spoken with each other in the greater part
of a year. After a great discussion each of us returned to the conference that
we were attending. I was sitting several rows in front of and to the side of
the person with whom I had been speaking earlier. During one of the
presentations, the speaker was relating a painful abusive experience within her
family as a child. Something, a vibration from my friend, made me turn around
and look at my friend. She was wiping tears from her eyes. I did not know what
the tears were about … but something, something painful had touched her. I chose
to continue to look at her. She felt my looking and turned to look at me. I
smiled and winked at her and she smiled back. In this exchange more than the
gateway of the eyes were involved. I felt the vibrations of her pain. She felt
the vibrations of my comforting wink. I enjoyed the radiance of her smile.
During this time no words were exchanged between us. We were a distance of
about 14 ~ 15 meters, and a presentation was going on, so exchange of words was
not possible. Energy, positive energy, allowing the emotion of pain, the
emotions of caring and comfort were exchanged.
I can assure you that I do not have eyes in the back of my head. The
eyes were a part of the communication, the sharing, but far more significant
were the vibrations that were shared. For those vibrations to be shared each of
us had to be open, each of us had to know experientially the pain and the
comfort that was exchanged. The details of the pain were not significant in the
exchange. The feeling of pain, the giving of and receiving of affection, and
the caring expressed in part by the eyes, but mostly by the attunement of the vibrations
were beyond words.
