The Ear Translates; It Does Not Hear. The Eye Reproduces; It Does Not See.

Today’s inspiration from A Course in Miracles is this: “The ear translates; it does not hear. The eye reproduces; it does not see.” We think our ears and eyes hear and see reality respectively. But they don’t.As A Course in Miracles goes on to say, “The body’s eyes see only form. They cannot see beyond what they were made to see.” Elsewhere, “See how the body’s eyes rest on externals and cannot go beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the form to meaning.”When we judge anyone, whether we think they are good or bad, we are not seeing them for who they are. We are seeing form, but totally missing meaning. In fact, judgment and meaning are antithetical. Judgment comes from our ego mind, and meaning comes from our mind of love.All seeing and hearing occurs in the mind. And when we’ve chosen the ego mind, nothing we see (or hear) will bring us happiness. And we will judge everything and everyone around us.Conversely, from the mind of love, we can only experience peace and joy. And from this mind, we see the sameness in everyone, the love that unites everything - a state of true vision.Support the show
