from C.W. Leadbeater, The Chakras (1980), Frontispiece
The mystic eye symbolizes light, enlightenment,
knowledge, mind, vigilance, omniscience, and intuitive vision.
(Cooper, Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols, p. 62).
Plato says "that in every man there is an eye of the soul which is dimmed and lost by trivial pursuits,
but purified and re-kindled by philosophy; and is more precious than ten thousand physical eyes,
for by it alone is reality beheld."
(Republic VII.527d-e).
Likewise, Christ said "The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."
(Matthew VI.22)
