One Seeing, One Dwelling
“The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.”
— Meister Eckhart
“I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.”
— John 14:20
“The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.” And the scripture echoes it: “I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.” This teaching is not for the mind that identifies itself as a human seeking God. It is for the awakened soul that remembers itself as the dwelling place of the Source. The flesh is not an obstacle. It is the temple. The body is not separate from the divine, it is the sanctuary through which the Source knows itself in form. When John speaks of the Father, he points to the origin, the living Source from which all being flows and within which all being abides. To awaken is not to become divine, but to recognize that the divine has always been living as you. When you see God, it is the Source seeing through its own dwelling. When you know truth, it is the Father knowing itself through the temple. There is no distance, no hierarchy, no separation. The Source lives, breathes, sees, and loves from within you. To remember this is wisdom. To live from this knowing is embodiment.
The way the eye sees God is the way God sees you. This is not poetry, it is a law of inner life. The image you hold of the Source becomes the world you inhabit. God is the source of life, the source of salvation. Therefore, the life you give yourself and the salvation you allow yourself arise from the eye through which you behold God. If you see God as a punisher, your days unfold as correction and struggle. If you see God as unjust, choosing a few for abundance and leaving many in lack, your life mirrors imbalance, resentment, and scarcity. If you see God as a sovereign who destroys at will and rescues without reason, your inner world fills with fear. When the eye awakens and sees God as life itself, generous and present, that life flows through your thoughts, choices, and experiences. You do not wait to be saved. You embody salvation. The Source does not stand over you. It lives as you. Change the eye, and the world follows.
Expanded Wisdom Teaching
One Seeing, One Dwelling
This teaching is an invitation to remember who you are beyond the costume of form, beyond the language of limitation, beyond the story of being merely human. It is not offered to convince the mind, but to awaken recognition in the soul. At
the center of this remembrance stands a simple yet immeasurable truth expressed in two voices, one mystical and one scriptural. “The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.” And, “I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.”
Together, they point to a
single revelation. There is one seeing, one life, one source, and one dwelling. What appears as God and human is not a relationship between two separated beings, but an expression of one reality knowing itself through form.
The awakened soul no longer identifies itself as a human seeking God. The
awakened soul remembers itself as the embodiment of the Source, living, breathing, seeing, and loving through flesh. This remembrance does not remove the body, it sanctifies it. It does not reject the world, it illuminates it. It does not escape life, it fulfills it.
When the mystic speaks of
the eye with which God is seen, he is not referring to physical sight, belief, or imagination. He is speaking of awareness itself, the inner seeing that precedes thought, language, and identity. This eye is not owned by the individual. It is not personal. It is the same awareness that looks out through every being, yet knows itself consciously
only when remembrance awakens.
The scripture echoes this truth in a different language. “I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.” Here, the Father is not a distant figure in the sky, but the Source itself, the origin of all life, all intelligence, all being. The Son is the expression of
that Source made visible, embodied, and lived. The invitation is not to worship from afar, but to enter the same indwelling relationship, to know oneself as the dwelling place of the Source.
This is why the body is called the temple. Not metaphorically, but functionally. A temple is not
sacred because of its walls, but because of what dwells within it. Your flesh is not an obstacle to the divine. It is the instrument through which the divine experiences itself in time, space, sensation, and relationship.
To awaken is not to become divine. To awaken is to remember that the
divine has always been living as you. The Source does not visit you. It lives through you. It does not observe you from above. It sees through you. The eye with which you perceive reality is the same eye through which the Source perceives its own creation.
This understanding reshapes everything,
especially how salvation and life are understood. If God is the source of salvation and the source of life, then salvation is not something given from the outside. It is something embodied from the inside. The life you experience is the life you allow the Source to live through you.
The way you see God
becomes the way life unfolds for you. This is not punishment or reward. It is resonance. It is alignment. It is reflection.
If the eye sees God as a punisher, then life is experienced as correction, struggle, and perpetual judgment. Not because God punishes, but because the consciousness through
which life is interpreted is filtered through fear. The world mirrors that fear faithfully.
If the eye sees God as unjust, favoring a few while abandoning many, then life unfolds as imbalance, resentment, and scarcity. The inner image of separation produces outer experiences of inequality
and competition.
If the eye sees God as a sovereign who destroys at will and saves arbitrarily, then the nervous system lives in fear, doubt, and mistrust. The soul braces itself against existence, rather than resting within it.
These are not theological errors, they are perceptual
ones. They arise when the eye forgets its origin and sees from separation instead of unity.
When the eye awakens and sees God as life itself, generous, present, and conscious, then life flows accordingly. Peace becomes natural. Trust becomes embodied. Abundance expresses itself
as sufficiency, flow, and meaningful provision. Justice expresses itself as harmony, balance, and right relationship.
This is why the teaching is so precise. Change the eye, and the world follows. Change the inner seeing, and the outer experience rearranges itself.
Salvation, then, is not rescue from life, but awakening within life. It is the recognition that the Source lives through you as you. When this recognition stabilizes, fear loosens its grip. The need to earn worth dissolves. The urgency to prove identity fades.
The awakened soul
understands that it is not here to be saved from the world, but to allow the Source to express itself through the world. This is embodiment. This is incarnation understood rightly.
The flesh becomes a living altar. Breath becomes prayer. Presence becomes offering. Every interaction
becomes a moment where the Source meets itself through relationship.
This is why the teaching says, “On that day you will understand.” That day is not a future event. It is a moment of recognition. Nothing new is added. Nothing is taken away. Awareness simply opens to what has always been true.
The Father lives as the Source. The Son lives as expression. The indwelling lives as union. This is not hierarchy. It is flow. It is movement. It is life knowing itself in stages of expression without ever leaving itself.
The awakened soul no longer asks, “Where is
God?” The awakened soul asks, “Through which eye am I seeing?” Because it knows that seeing determines being, and being determines experience.
This teaching does not inflate the ego. It dissolves it. There is no personal ownership of divinity here. There is participation.
There is humility rooted in vastness. There is responsibility born of intimacy.
When you realize that the Source sees through you, your actions matter. Your words matter. Your presence matters. Not because you are judged, but because you are entrusted.
To embody this teaching is to live gently, honestly, and consciously. It is to recognize that every thought about the Source is also a thought about yourself. Every belief about life is a belief you will live inside.
The awakened soul chooses to see God as life,
wisdom, love, and order, not as a strategy to gain favor, but as a reflection of truth. And truth, once seen, organizes experience naturally.
This is the heart of the lesson. One seeing. One dwelling. One life moving through many forms.
You are not separate from
the Source. You are the place where the Source knows itself as you. When this is remembered, the search ends, and living begins.
The temple stands open. The eye is clear. The dwelling is known.
And from this knowing, life flows.
