The window to your soul?

During the Heart Sutra class, Venerable told us to go back and try a "Eye meditation".
To be in front of a mirror, and to look/focus on your eye(s). To keep looking, to find the eye that is "yours".

I havent exactly tried it, but I believe it is similar to the mirror experience I had in Taipei.

Have you had the experience of writing a word so many times, that after a while, the word is no longer familiar, and you doubt you had the right spelling?

That is how your eye would "look"/feel like after the meditation. You might feel that your eye is strange, or that it doesnt belong to you, or it is simply an eye, there is nothing special about that eye, or your eye does not define you....the realisations are plentyful (I suppose).

We often think (or believe) that our eye is the window to our soul. [There is no such thing as a soul in the Buddhist context]. But if you look at it long enough, it is just an eye. The eye colour or size might differ, but it is simply an eye. What makes it so different from other eyes, from other parts of you?

Why should we be attached to our eye, or think that it makes us any different, or that it "represents" us???
