What is the Third Eye?

so what is referred to as a third eye is we always said Shiva will open his third eye and he can burn up the whole existence if he wants you need to understand this is a dialectical culture you don't take these things literally logically you need to always read behind it unfortunately people start interpreting it as a logical thing and it's all thing is so badly distorted dimensions which cannot be expressed logically I always packed up in these kinds of stories so that they are preserved without distortion so Shira opens his third eye and either everything burns up or he sees everything clearly so third eye is not a physical thing it is just that if your energies reach a certain peak within you you have a new clarity of vision of life you see everything from a completely different dimension so you start seeing things it's an inner eye we say we can say you can turn it inward or outward whichever way you turn it so these eyes are only outward you can't roll your eyeballs inward and see what's within you isn't it so third eye is both ways if you want you can turn it inward or you can turn it outward whichever way you are seeing life beyond the normal limitations of your perception your perception has risen beyond the physical that is a third eye why is it connected to a particular spot in your body among the seven chakras the sixth dimension is called as Abner Abner is located slightly above where the eyebrows meet there are three dimensions attached to it these three dimensions are traditionally named after Shiva three different forms of Shiva but these three are actual experience all points in the body where if your energy moves to that point your experience of life alters itself the whole process of whatever spiritual process you're doing consciously or unconsciously is fundamentally to move to a higher plane of perception isn't it yes you call it God you call it Kundalini you call it yoga you call it what you want but fundamentally the whole thing is to raise your perception from a limited physical perception to a higher possibility so if your energies are in the lowest chakra which is referred to as the mooladhara food and sleep will be the most dominant factors of your life only food and sleep you will not know anything else if energy is moving to swadishtana then you are a pleasure seeker you enjoy the physical world in so many different ways if your energy is moving to money per raka then you are a doer in the world you are an achiever if your energy is moving to Anahata you're a creative person maybe you're an artist you're a painter you're something you you're more creative about life if your energies move into VCT if they become dominant there you are a powerhouse power need not just mean this human beings can be powerful in so many different ways so this is the power center if energies move into your agna then you have clarity of vision now you are intellectually realized not experiencial ii realized intellectually realized you touch the point where life cannot disturb you life cannot take a toll on you because intellectually you're realized but still you're not ecstatic in any way you don't know the ecstasy of life but you have stability of life nothing can touch you nothing can disturb you you come to that point from the lowest point of mooladhara to agna there are men a ways of reaching there there's so many parts million different parts of how to get there but from agna to sahasrar there is no way it's a part of the spot this is the reason why a lot of people are talking only about peace because they only got till here and they don't know what's beyond so there is ooming and concluding that this solder is because there is no particular path or method to get beyond there are no particular methods are there are no methods when all methods are dropped only then from agna to sahasrar one will reach if you energy statue of sahasrara the totnes chakra you will become ecstatic like for no reason simply you're ecstatic you don't need any external stimulus you will see those of you who come to the bhava Spandana simply ecstatic nothing is happening nobody is telling you beautiful thing is not your dinner lottery nothing simply your ecstatic chest blowing like that because your energies have hit the sahasrara so from here to here there is no journey so when you come here if you can turn this third eye inward only then you see that there is no way the only way is to jump to jump into total emptiness either you must be crazy or you must have absolute trust in somebody else's word there are only two ways you can jump into nothingness isn't it anybody must be crazy but you don't care what happens to you ah you have so much trust in somebody if he says jump you will anyway jump there's only two ways so the third eye is something that gives you a total clarity of how things are how life process is when I say life don't think of life in terms of waking up in the morning you think going to the party not that life fundamental life life as you life as an entity live as a basis of existence right now when once you have a clear vision of this then the way you function and the way you conduct your life is very very different so once your third eye opens it is not that this is going to split and open up your perception is risen beyond the physical you have started seeing that which is beyond the physical you know have you heard about those schools and they have been blind so that they develop this ability to do remote viewing know those schools are fundamentally trying to develop the intuitive nature of the mind but I am NOT talking about the mind when I say the third I say mind is capable of fantastic things by itself you have not explored even a small percentage of the minds capabilities human beings have not explored even a very small capabilities of the mind what they're trying to do by closing off the eyes for a certain period is to develop an intuitive mind see for example a person who is visually handicapped his sense of the other four senses are very high isn't it have you noticed this that capability is so uncanny about how they hear things how they know things just by the direction of the sound is so uncanny so that is about heightening a certain aspect of the mind so that they become intuitive that's a different dimension if even in India people who want to train in astrology people who want to train in predicting other people's lives and things they shut their eyes off for long periods so that they learn to use their mind in a particular way when I said third eye we are not talking about the mind at all it doesn't involve the normal process of the mind it's a different dimension by itself you
