Wow! Do you suppose we ever get more than the most fleeting of glimpses of "the I behind the eye"? Or as David Hawkins holds it in the title of his book: "The Eye of the I"? Or is it simply enough to be aware and honoring of its presence? That it may be too much in our daily life to be able to do more than acknowledge that there is, indeed, an eye behind the eye with which we perceive our existence? I sometime stop myself in mid-thought (or far more likely mid-words to another) to recognize that I am speaking from behind nothing more than a lens of my own devising (knowingly or unknowingly). That my reality, me reaction, my truth is not someone else's except with their agreement -- and even that is most tenuous at best. I look forward to more of Jung! “How warm the joy at seeing you again, you long disavowed soul.” Wow! Do you suppose we ever get more than the most fleeting of glimpses of “the I behind the eye”?
