The Eye of the I

The "Eye of the I" is a concept from philosophy, especially Advaita Vedanta, referring to the inner awareness or pure consciousness that perceives thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It’s the sense of being the true self behind mental activity, often described as the silent watcher. This "eye" isn’t a physical organ but the fundamental consciousness that underlies all perception. Recognizing the Eye of the I involves realizing that your true identity isn’t your thoughts or identity but the awareness that observes them—an unchanging, universal presence that remains constant irrespective of external changes.
