“The eye is the lamp of the body,” Jesus told his disciples (Matthew 6:22). “So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.” He didn’t say, “if your eyes are sound,”—just one eye. Jesus was describing our inner eye—the perceptive awareness that sees through the illusion of duality to the spiritual truth of our oneness with the Divine. Through that single eye, we see the wholeness that is the truth of who we are, always. Our mortal eyes serve many important purposes, of course. They allow us to move more easily through this human experience, to negotiate our duality with greater ease. But it is the single eye of Spirit that focuses our attention on our ageless and perfect self, filling our whole body with light. In faith, I align my thoughts, words, and
feelings with this Truth. I express appreciation for my body’s ability
to function in complex and marvelous ways. I guide the creative,
powerful energy of my thoughts and words to inspire and energize. I rest
in the assurance that divine life flows freely and that every atom of
my being is invigorated with healing life.
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly.—Isaiah 58:8
