Excerpt from Talking to the Goddess by Kardia Zoe
“With the eyes and ears of the spirit do you see and hear the sights and sounds of the kingdom of the Earthly Mother: The blue sky where dwells the messenger of Air, the foaming river where flows the messenger of Water, the golden light which streams from the messenger of Sun. And I tell you truly, all these are within you as well as without; for your breath, your blood, the fire of life within you, all are one with the Earthly Mother.” Quote from Book #4 Teaching of the Elect
The quote above is from a manuscript that is nearly 2000 years old. . In this ancient writing we are told to use the eyes and ears of the spirit to see and hear the Earthly Mother (aka Goddess) and her messengers. At first I did not truly know what this meant. Were the eyes and ears of the spirit different from those of our physical body? Then I realized what this passage was trying to say.
The eyes and ears of the spirit are capable of seeing and hearing the inner workings of the energies around us, whereas the eyes and ears of the body can only see and hear the outer workings of the world.
When the eyes of the spirit are used, the mind can see things far beyond the range of physical eyes, including things that haven’t even happened yet. The ears of the spirit can tune in to thoughts, feelings or vibrations that are silent to the body’s ears. You can use your spiritual ears to listen to the quiet voice within and allow Mother Earth and her messengers to increase your knowledge of the world around you. Simply put, think of your body’s eyes and ears as tools to process the information around you and your spirit’s eyes and ears to process all in inner visions and voices.
I believe the passage above is just trying to tell us to look beneath the surface to find the Divine spirit within all things. We are all connected and one with the Goddess. Live accordingly!
