Ears
The ears are the sense organs for hearing and at the same time for balance. At the Kyborg Institute we consider ear themes additionally on a soul-related level.
Our reading
With the ears we hear – and in the language the note of “obeying” resonates (in German, hören and gehorchen share a root). In our reading, “not being able to hear” often has to do with “not wanting to hear”: with stubbornness, with protest against life’s circumstances or with withdrawal from the world of others. This can occur in closed-off older people just as in sad or sulky children. Because the ears are also organs of balance, we read ear problems as the question: What has just thrown me off balance? An inflammation of the middle ear we connect symbolically with suppression, fear or the grief over a loved one.
What does that mean in practice?
- Ask oneself: what do I not want to hear right now – and what has thrown me off balance?
- Stay open to the new instead of closing oneself off.

How does the Kyborg Institute read ear themes?
In our reading it is about 'wanting to hear' and about balance: whoever 'will not hear', or whoever has been thrown off track, can find that mirrored here.
