Harmony with the world is impossible while hell reigns within. Put a man in paradise, give him all the earth's riches, and he’ll defile them, mock them, and reduce them to nothing: "That’s it? That’s all?"
And the easiest thing for him to devalue is what can't be seen under a microscope, bottled up, or given a price tag—love and meaning. He denies the light in others because he can’t see it in himself.
Why? Because as a child, few ever gave him That Look.
No matter what nonsense a child speaks, how dirty he gets, what he ruins, or how much he hurts others—some adult sees the divine spark in him, loves him anyway, and makes sure he knows it.
Once you’ve felt That Look, you can never forget it. It’s like metal shavings scattered at random—lying still, waiting. But the moment they recognize a magnet, they rush into perfect order.
I think of Wadjet, the ancient Egyptian symbol—the left falcon eye of Horus. In his battle with the evil Set, Horus lost his eye, then restored it and even used it to resurrect his father, Osiris. The deeper meaning of this symbol is the watchful eye, the force that guards and restores divine order—from kingship to fertility itself.
When That Look is internalized, when it becomes part of a person, he brings harmony to everything he touches.
Yours sincerely,
