Language and the eye:
Sep 11, 2003, 18:05
The phonological ambiguity of the English word for our organ of vision with the word for our individuality is deeply meaningful, as anyone can tell by replacing the one for the other in many contexts. Here, O'Donohue tells us about the materialistic or scientific eye (or "I") that must judge everything it sees:

[page 63] The judgmental eye harvests the reflected surface and calls it truth.

John O' Donohue, Anam Cara

I couldn't put it better, however, it reflects my understanding of the nature of looking.
