Let the Scales Fall from the Eye of Your Heart (Part 1)

★Let’s go beyond the recognition of duality

We sometimes say things like, “If you change your negative habits of thought into positive ones, your divine consciousness will revive and you can live a happy life.”

That’s exactly right, but when people whose consciousness hasn’t fully evolved see or hear these words, they tend to make a fundamental mistake.

That is, they recognize the two words “negative” and “positive” as two opposing things, like the two sides of a coin, and grasp them dualistically.

What’s important in understanding these words is not to take the “change” in “if you change your negative habits of thought” as simply sliding sideways and swapping one for the other.

Instead, interpret it as, “If you melt away and erase negative habits of thought with the light of life (bright words), the positive thinking that was deep within your consciousness from the start comes to the surface, and you’ll never again be pushed around by negative thoughts”—and make that your natural recognition.

For example, if until now you lived with 97% negative thinking and 3% positive thinking, once you can completely erase and purify your past habits of thought, you can live the rest of your life with 100% positive thinking.

People who believe the flip side of good is evil, or who assume health and ill health are two sides of the same coin, have shut their consciousness up in the cage of dualistic opposition and can’t acknowledge the reality of the great universe, infinitely evolving and creating, outside that cage.

★The true meaning of “the scales fell from my eyes”

But people who hear (read) this kind of real truth and, from the bottom of their hearts, honestly take it in—”Ah, I see, so that’s what it was”—in that very instant leap across, as if teleporting on a trapeze of consciousness.

Then their former negative thinking vanishes from their hearts without a trace, a field of consciousness that recognizes divinity in everything opens up, they can no longer think ill of themselves or others, and a devout feeling of heartfelt gratitude for the blessings of nature and all living things wells up and won’t stop.

That’s what’s called “the scales falling from your eyes.”

Its true meaning is that, as your recognition changes, the pitch-black tears of karma that had blocked the view of the eye of your heart flow away, and in their place the eyeball of your heart is covered with the clean tear-water of life.

Then the eye of the heart, which until now could see almost nothing at all, begins to work, and according to how far you open that eye of the heart, the truth of life comes to be reflected in your surface consciousness.

So if you truly wish from the bottom of your heart to live happily, it means “you only need to make the eye of your heart, which had stopped seeing, see again.”

Then the dimensional level on which your consciousness stands jumps up all at once, and at the very least the eyes of the spirit-body dimension revive. (To be continued next time)
