The radiant electromagnetic energy is another word for light.We see and take in this energy which is then beamed into the brain, and it is there we form the pictures of our World.The brain interprets the information, or decodes it.So energy goes into the eye, but can it also go out from the eye? The other organs on our face seem to work two -way. The nose breaths in energy and breaths it out : the mouth takes energy in, in the form of food, but it also sends energy out in the form of words.
Not only in Greece, but in a wide range of countries many people believe in the evil eye.This is the belief that some people, by looking at you, can cause misfortune in your life
When I first came to Greece I thought that this was pure old -fashioned superstition.However, after living here a good few years. I am really not so sure.
A few years ago I mentioned,in a half- mocking way, to a highly intelligent half English, half Greek friend of mine, the mysterious subject of the evil eye..I guess the Greek half of him answered me.He surprised me by not dismissing it as rubbish, but by giving me a slightly disturbing story.
He told me that some time ago , he had been driving in the centre of Athens on a stiffling hot day whilst having a blazing row with his girlfriend.As the day and the row heated up, his driving skills got colder, and he almost knocked an old lady down. Thank goodness he managed to avoid her.It was then she approached the car and came straight up to his open window.
He told me that he will never forget the look she gave him.It was a long, hard, cold stare of pure hate.
That very same evening after a day of non-stop rows, his girlfriend left him for good.The next day he got the sack from his job. On the third day his car broke down, and he suddenly got a bad bout of a sore throat.
His eyes were full of sincerity as he said that he knew that the old lady had caused all these troubles through her evil eye.I should add that I had known this guy for a few years and he didn't do a Tony Blair; he didn't make things up
Through the years I have heard similar tales, although the one he said takes some beating.
What got me thinking about the whole concept of the evil eye was after watching those two actors in the first U.S. Presidental Debate.Puppet Obama and puppet Romney talking about stuff that had nothing to do with the 'real'World.It struck me that Romney kept staring at his opponent, over and over again and for long periods of time.It was almost like he fancied him and couldn't take his eyes off him.
It is now agreed by most people that Romney came out the winner and that Obama gave a surprisingly lack-lustre performance.
Was Romney giving Obama the evil eye ?
I have since seen parts of the third part of this theatre, and noticed that almost everytime Romney fixed his eyes on the 'Commander-in Chief ', Obama made sure he quickly looked away and then would only hold his stare for a very brief few moments.
I wonder if he sensed something about the Romney stare, felt uneasy and didn't let him do it.In this debate there was no trace of the poor performance that took place the first time.
It is believed that some people, without knowing it, can cast a spell simply by looking at someone. Some though, try to cast a spell with their eyes.
There is a book published in 1895 by Frederick Thomas Elworthy all about this subject.He claims that it was a widely held belief throughout the World for thousands of years.He mentions that some people have the evil eye if they are the jealous type., and that it is the energy of jealousy that does the damage.
He quotes Pliny as writing in his Natural History series, that in Africa there are people who can even kill those on whom they fix their gaze..
''Eat thou not the bread of him that hath the evil eye" is from Proverbs 23.6 in the Bible.Such a phrase should make one think.
And in Mark 7.22 in the Bible, Jesus makes mention of the evil eye. ;"From within the hearts of men proceed evil thoughts...wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye...."
Coming right up to date, Science has recently discovered that there might well be a lot of truth in this evil eye belief. Consider the following:
Psychiatrist and author Colin.A.Ross.M.D. has published data that supports the idea that the eye emits energy. His findings are in a publication called: The Electrophysiological Basis Of Evil Eye Belief.This is in the current issue of, "Anthropology Of Consciousness".
He even has a patent pending for his,Electromagnetic Beam Detection System, which he says proves that the human eye emits an electromagnetic signal that can be measured scientifically.
It is amazing that recently so many old beliefs that were laughed at are now, according to science, based on fact.
The Bible seems to indicate that only evil people have the evil eye. I'd also like to believe that if you don't harbour evil thoughts, you can't be touched by it.That would make some sense because you would not be on the same frequency as the evil eye frequency.
That's a comforting thought, but make sure you don't have evil thought as you may well pay a heavy price !
