The Eye of Horus is a symbol dating back to ancient Egypt and is associated with healing and protection. There are various interpretations about what it represents. In his documentary ‘Remembering the End of the World’, David Talbott associates the eye with a celestial alignment that occurred thousands of years ago, while others associate the eye with representing the waxing and waning phases of the Moon. However, one interpretation that caught my imagination is that the Eye could represent human anatomy. An intriguing paper titled ‘The Eye of Horus: The Connection Between Art, Medicine, and Mythology in Ancient Egypt’ published in the National Library of Medicine associates the eye with the anatomy of the human brain. The brain region surrounding the pineal gland shows a remarkable similarity to the Eye of Horus. Some have suggested that by creating the Eye of Horus based on the part of the brain that includes the pineal gland, the ancient Egyptians may have been communicating that in the pineal gland is hidden a mental or spiritual power. Adherents of theosophist Helena Blavatsky have suggested that the Third Eye is in fact the partially dormant pineal gland. The Third Eye is a spiritual concept associated with enlightenment and direct communication with a higher plane of existence. All this taps into what mystics refer to as “opening your Third Eye” which in turn gives you a powerful sense of understanding and awareness. |
