Liver |
Just as zayin (7) represents a state of
actively balancing the six directions, so ayin also denotes a state of
active balance. The eye is usually seen as a passive organ, collecting the
light that falls on it and passing it to that part of the brain that processes
visual images. However, the eye should be seen as an active organ. We can
choose what images we see and, probably more importantly, we can decide what
impact those images have on ourselves. we have to train ourselves to see "with
G-d's eye". Everything around us is manifest by G-d, even the most horrible. It
is for us to see the influence of G-d in everything.
So, whereas zayin
is active balance at the archetypal level, ayin represents the same
activity on the created level.
