The eye sees the physical body, other individuals, even insects, worms and things. It sees everything that is within its range. The body too is a thing that the eye sees, along with the rest. So, how can we conclude that the body is the I?

Sathya Sai Baba

The eye of the poet sees less clearly, but sees farther than the eye of the scientist.

Peter Kreeft

I see myself in [the] tradition of encounter and witness - a witness that sees the photograph as evidence.

Susan Meiselas

What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is not a moment when I do not feel the presence of a Witness whose eye misses nothing and with whom I strive to keep in tune.

Mahatma Gandhi

Nothing comes back. The eye sees for a moment, the ear hears, but look, now it is gone.

Eva Figes

Witness the witness itself - and... the ultimate ecstasy is created. Start watching your thoughts but don't stop there... One more thing has to be done, one more step: now watch the watcher... Nothing else is left, only you are. By watching the mind, the mind disappears. By watching the witness, the witness expands and becomes universal.

Rajneesh

The great and secret message of the experiential mystics the world over is that, with the eye of contemplation, Spirit can be seen. With the eye of contemplation, the great Within radiantly unfolds. And in all cases, the eye with which you see God is the same eye with which God sees you: the eye of contemplation.

Ken Wilber

Darkness is only in the mortal eye, that thinks it sees, but sees not.

Ursula K. Le Guin

The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.

Meister Eckhart

God's love-eye does not see essentially into the wicked rebellious apostate soul; neither also into the devil, but his anger-eye sees thereinto; that is, God, according to the property of the anger or fire of wrath, sees in the devil, and in the false soul.

Jakob Bohme

In every object there is inexhaustible meaning; the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.

Thomas Carlyle

I think John Landgraf sees things in the same way I do. We see eye to eye on a lot.

Ryan Murphy

You are not your body; you are the eye. When you see the spirit, you are free of the body. A human being is an eye – the rest is just flesh and bones. Whatever your eye sees, you are that.
