Es común decir "veo" cuando entendemos algo. Y, efectivamente, "ver" en la Biblia representa captar y comprender las cosas espirituales. Así que tiene sentido que los ojos, que nos permiten ver, representen el intelecto, que nos permite entender las cosas espirituales.

La Biblia habla de personas que tienen ojos y se niegan a ver, y el Señor, cuando estaba en el mundo, aconsejó que se sacara un ojo. Esto representa un rechazo a reconocer la verdad, o ser engañado por la falsedad.

(Odkazy: Apocalipsis Revelado 214; Arcana Coelestia 212, 1584, 1806, 2701, 3820, 3863 [6-11], 4410, 5810, 8792, 9051)

4410. Much experience has made it plain to me that the sight of the left eye corresponds to the truths seen by the understanding and the right eye to the affections for truth which are also present with the understanding; and therefore that the left eye corresponds to the truths of faith and the right eye to the goods of faith. The reason why such correspondence exists is that the light which comes from the Lord is heat as well as light, the light itself being the truth which proceeds from the Lord and the heat the good. This, together with influx into the two hemispheres of the brain, is the origin of that correspondence; for those who are governed by good are on the Lord's right, and those governed by truth on His left.
