1010: Treasure Hunt + Good and Bad Eyes
Where Your Treasure Is
“Not all treasure‘s silver and gold, mate.” - Jack Sparrow, Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl
“There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy’s life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.” - Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” - Jesus, Matthew 6:21
What do we treasure?
We’re taught to openly treasure the temporary…
A good job
Solid income
A nice home
Success and achievements.
Secretly, we treasure the elevated…
Unconditional love
Joy regardless of circumstance
Peace beyond understanding
Connection to Spirit
Christ Consciousness reveals that our heart is easy to locate. It’s linked to our treasure.
In episode 7, we dive into this treasure hunt and also…
The Eyes Have It
The Christ goes on to say, “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness.”
Part of this treasure hunt has to do with how we see or how we seek.
We tend to think of healthy and unhealthy with sight or blindness. In this ancient text, it translates more accurately to…
Healthy = generous, abundant, positive
Unhealthy = greed, lack, negative
When we view life through the eyes of generosity, abundance, and positivity, our entire body (existence) is filled with light (love, joy, peace, and other high-vibrational experiences).
When we view life through the eyes of greed, lack, and negativity, our entire body is filled with darkness (shame, guilt, neediness, and other low-vibrational experiences).
Each morning, meditate on: Today, I will see through the eyes of light. The world is generous, abundant, and optimistic. I am filled with love, joy, and peace.
Sometimes, we need spiritual optometry to correct our vision.
If you are struggling with the health of your eyes, consider working with a spiritual director or coach.

Positive Psychology
“Yoooooohoooooo,” your past is calling. It loves to pop into the present with reminders. Reminders of failures. Reminders of regrets.
Part of seeing through the eyes of light is to travel light. In this brief video, I cover a simple tool to use if you tend to carry a heavy past around with you or if its voice is loud in your life.
Blessings!
Paul
