In Irish mythology there is the figure of Balor. Balor is the King of the Fomorians- the forces of darkness that refuse to be brought into the light of consciousness as represented by the sun god Lugh.

Balor has a single eye that destroys all it looks upon. It is so toxic that it is closed most of the time by a heavy eyelid.  This eyelid needs several people to lift it so that its power can be used in battle.

Balor represents the force of separateness. It is the eye that sees everything apart from itself. It is the eye focused on self-interest alone. This degree of self-interest is toxic to the degree that it is prepared to destroy other life forms to get what it wants.

This is not an eye that is light. It is an eye that mistrusts and lives in fear of its overthrow by another force that it feels it must resist at all costs.  This is the ego that must resist at all costs the radiant call of the heart to realise its connection to the source.

Irish mythology has lots of wonder tales. These wonder tales are not just old Irish stories. They are real Irish Blessings. They tell the story of the journey of consciousness.  They tell the story of the journey from darkness to light. These stories are about dark forces as represented by the Fomorians and the magic of sacred unity as represented by the Tuatha de Danaan.
