Practice imagining the eye of the heart and explore the concept of the "nous." This Greek word is associated with the mind, God's will or law, and the ability to understand and perceive spiritual truths. In Romans 12:1-2, Paul speaks of being transformed by the renewing of your mind. Much deeper than the intellect, the nous encompasses our ability to discern spiritual truth. In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the nous is referred to as the "eye of the heart or soul" and represents our capability for intuitive intelligence. The nous is considered essential for cultivating wisdom and experiencing the presence of God. We can think of the nous as our organ of spiritual perception, the inner eye of the heart that enables us to experience God's presence within ourselves and in the world around us. Let’s take some time to connect with the nous.
