Eyes of the Heart in the practice of Thogal

Thogal Vision

Thogal is profoundly visual, and the visions unfold in a way that is fluid, organic, and very beautiful. To be truly open to the intent of the essence embodied in this fluidity and beauty, you must be able to clearly see the light in your heart with the eyes of the heart. Most people have allowed their minds to be dominant and use their eyes in a channeled, tunnel vision way, grabbing blindly out of the negative emotions and limitations of separate identity upheld by the mind. The channel of light that connects the eyes directly to the heart in the practice of Thogal bypasses the brain and the hold it has over what we see, but if you do not break from the mind’s narrow, uncontrolled grabbing action through opening your heart, the Thogal visions will still be routed through the mind and will not unfold in an authentic way.

There is a natural fluid power to the eyes that reaches out and connects with what it sees. It can meet, hold, push, or pull at need. If this power is guided by the mind, it grabs and pulls back into itself and interprets in ways that reinforce perceptions upholding separate identity. The eyes can also be used more purely, from the heart, to connect with and relate, and with this more open use of the eyes the visions arise and you bond with them. No longer grabbing with your eyes, seeing becomes a mutual embrace as you embrace the visions and are embraced by them.

The fluid receptive nature of the eyes and their ability to perceive light is called the Heart Lamp of the Eyes. The eye has a natural fluid power that reaches out and connects with what it sees, and has sometimes been called a Water Lasso for that reason and with this more open use of the eyes, you

bond and blend with the visions as they arise. Then the lasso quality becomes a mutual embrace, as you embrace the visions and are embraced by them.
