A BRIEF EXPLANATION ON WHAT IS THE "EVIL EYE"

I do not pretend to be an authority on subjects that are posted in this blog. However, having learned from lectures, symposiums, and from my experience itself and those which i have learned from my priests friends i would like to share this subject, which i have entitled " Brief explanation on what is the evil eye".

In one of the lectures i have attended, one speaker spoke and explained what the Evil eye means and according to this fellow, when he meant by the Evil Eye, what he had in his mind is that object which is a triangular form with an eye in the middle and surrounded by three big letter A's. According to this poor guy, this is an occult object used by some new agers and even those practicing the occult which accordingly produces some supernatural powers. However, after that lecture/retreat actually, i consulted several spiritual warfare books and some who are in the Liberation Ministry (Deliverance) and tried to find out what the Evil Eye really is. Some opined and agreed with the earlier description given that it refers to that triangular object with an engraved eye at the middle. However, this is a misnomer, a misconception actually. From my point of view, when we mention the word "Evil eye" it refers mainly to those malicious and evil glances with the intention of doing some harm on the person being looked at to. It is not an object but rather, it is as i have already said a malicious intention proceeding out in one's mind with the intent of having it carried out either physically or spiritually to do harm on a certain person.

It is said that the "Eye" is the window of the soul and such is true. Because when one tries to look at a window and maybe tries to look inside, the onlooker sees many different things. Similarly, a person with an "evil intention" can easily be detected through his/her eye, though at times people with weak spirituality, seldom sees it but feels it manifestation when that person feels something amiss or not right with his or herself.

In the realm of spiritual warfare, not all curses, hexes, or spells are transmitted verbally, there are times when these malevolent things are transmitted through the mind via one's eye. Notice, when a person is angry, that person vents his or her anger by way of speaking to the mind and throwing a killer stare (i.e. in some everyday situations when one is mad at a certain person, that person usually say at the back of his mind "mamatay ka na sana" or masagasaan ka sana") then suddenly that wish or curse comes true. Coincidence? to some yes. But i don't fully agree, why, because, the mind is so powerful that it could do harm if proper concentration is fully utilized coupled with the fact that around us evil lurks at every moment.

Thus, to sum it up, Evil Eye is often times felt and not seen. That is why in spiritual warfare, there is always a prayer for protection against the Evil Eye, because we will never ever know the true intentions of people whom we get to mingle everyday.
