A philological argument for the third eye.

What's wrong with this argument in a philological context?
My views are based on a subjective interpretation of what a third eye is: - - -
Subjectively I can say the third eye is real.
It is the thought in my mind, the voice on my shoulder and the friend in hard times.
Objectively I can say there is a third eye on a praying mantis. I believe the ability to disambiguate the perception of thought is a demonstration of the ‘third eye’ or conscience.
E.g. I subjectively know the objective meaning of life, there is none other than to spread genes like a virus. This subjective meaning in my view is whatever creates personal happiness with out a belief in objective meanings.
In essence I am stating that ‘objective meanings’ are actually the result of subjective interpretations of experiencing synchronicity (meaningful coincidences).
I am happy without objective meaning in my life because I am grateful to be alive in such a bleak universe.

where is the "philological" aspect of this?

It's a good argument. I think subjectively we may partially differ on the definition but if the third eye is anything objective (as an energetic process science has yet to reveal objectively) then those ancient monks were going about things in the same way, subjectively describing a phenomena of experience. One can imagine a thing to be anywhere but still get the sense that such images are generated in the brain, going so far as finding it easiest to associate the location behind the skull between the eyes. This correlation with vision would be reason enough to call it a third eye. I also associated it with thought but more in a manner of awareness of a thing or circumstance rather than the act of pondering... and yet in a perceptual sense I could also say I associate that region with an effort in seeing a thing as it is, making the correlation between perception and vision more clear, or a though process less biased, being up/above the lower chakras and therefore less prone to emotional intervention.
I also have some experiential evidence of it being the end point of the "emotional track", meaning to say kundalini doesn't naturally flow past that point and into the crown, though a different sensation coming from the crown may pass down through the head. Whether this leans towards a less objective ordering of experience rather than a natural tendency based on common physical structure I cannot say, though I lean towards the latter being that my experience generally agrees with the information I've read that doesn't strike me as overtly mystical or fantastic.
I might not describe it the same as you off the top of my head (punny), yet in your subjective observation of thought in mind, voice on shoulder and friend in hard times I can relate. Being the final stop for emotions it can be calming to allow them to go there rather than remain pooled lower in the body and rising only to foment hurtful thoughts, a sense of perspective rather than simply a mirror of what is being felt in a more visceral sense.

Fekin beautiful, that's pretty much what I meant without the reference of chakras (although good for point making)
The final stop of an emotion seems to me to be at an objective or subjective end.
Cheers for the perspective.
