Course XXXVII - Teaching 13: Eyes

For esoteric teachings, the eye bottom is very significant. Through atomic physical vibrations already considered, it gets from the interior of the organism, negative potential vibrations, which reflect the vital state of it.
It gets positive vibrations from sunlight. Vibrations that may be useful to the physical body are grasped by a magnetic field.
All positive vibrations collide with each other on the retina; those vibrations that are useless fall away. Useful vibrations collide with negative vibration in the entire eye bottom, producing a characteristic coloring on this area. According to color, form and intensity of their radiation, one can know the condition of the organism.
Secondary eye centers are on the major circumferences of the orbits and their number is enormous; represented by tiny glands so far unknown, if developed, may secrete an especial liquid that vivifies the retina and prepares it to get luminous rays beyond both ends of the spectrum. Those centers with shorter wave would let see ethereal radiation; those with longer wave, a grosser physical world.
On the front chamber, especially before and behind the iris, there are introspective secondary centers. They are like small centers, or reflectors, which let see the inner physical body, especially when one of its arts is affected.
This confirms the old motto: “The eyes of the soul see any disease”.
This inner and subconscious vision becomes very intense, in normal beings, in case of serious disease of certain organ, to the point that it makes vibrate intensely the corresponding center, the visual point affected, producing a local disturbance, almost imperceptible, like a soft ache.
This symptom also announces the imminent final outcome of a disease. Also it announces particularly the incubation of infectious diseases.
On the cornea there are 72 visual centers.
According to their operation, an individual can distinguish one object from another and assign to it its corresponding exact color.
When vibration decreases in the 18 superior centers of the cornea, an individual becomes short-sighted. When vibration decreases in the 18 lower centers, an individual becomes long-sighted.
When the nine lateral secondary centers work improperly, astigmatism takes place.
On the major circumference of the iris, there are secondary centers that grasp cosmic, astral-pranic waves.
Behind the macula there is a center that sums up the activity of all above-described centers.
When a being is in high contemplation, these centers vibrate in an extraordinary way, and when the individual comes to his normal state, they cause him to have intuition and skill to translate his experience.
