i dont know a hell of a lot about meditation. Please explain how you opened these chakras.

point your eyes upward toward the middle of your forehead and try to keep your breathing regular. when you get it you should feel your pineal gland vibrating/beating/pulsating. its distracting but if you can hold that for a little while... your there. ive found if i meditate right after smoking my third eye is throbbing in no time.

I just had a dream about you BTW, MT, involving us smoking some herb on a playground and you teaching me how to stay balanced on one leg for a long time. :lol: :shrug: :bongload:

Just so this post isn't totally off-topic/irrelevant:  In meditation I often feel energy around this area.  Try the meditation technique described in the Bhagavad Gita as this seems to be the best for feeling energy in that area.  Drinking lots of water and doing hatha yoga also seems to make the sensation more pronounced for me.

According to Bill Hicks, 5 grams of mushrooms should do the trick. Of course, I think this forum pretty much disproves that theory.

meditating with your focus being between your eyes/tip of your nose could work. if it doesn't open it completely at least you might be able to harness some more intuition

i guess mushrooms is a good shortcut, although i think more temporary in the long term

it's possible you could do it with faith alone

Well, considering that the Egyptians thought the brain no more than a cooling unit for the blood, and disposed of it in bits and pieces through the nose during mummification (not removed from the cranium whole, since it was not even important enough for a canopic jar), it is completely unlikely that there was a temple dedicated to any part of it. I think you have been reading some "cosmic debris." You'd be better off reading John Avalon's (Sir John Woodruff's) The Serpent Power, if it's Hindu Tantra you're interested in, or Lama Anagarika Govinda's Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism if you want a Vajrayana Buddhist Tantric take on the Centers.

Personally, I would suggest that these models discribe processes that already exist outside of ordinary time, as does Buddhahood. Enlightenment is not attained, because attainment means it occurs in time, in the future. Enlightenment is not something that happens to one's ego and neither is 'the opening of the third eye.' These are descriptions of a being whose egoistic mind is quiet and Fulness/Emptiness of Pure Consciousness is the dominant Awareness of the being. These modes of being are already present to all of us, and they become obvious at moments during which our Awareness is completely of the present.

I've come close to opening my third eye, I think. I've meditated a lot, and sometimes (usually in my more "eye-focused" sessions, if that makes any sense) I start to actually see the world around me even though my eyes are closed. Kinda vague and trippy-looking, hard to describe, but definitely there. Even stranger, with my eyes closed, I can see people that are not there with them open. Sometimes they sit down in front of me like we're about to talk, which I find quite startling, and I open my eyes to see no one there...

One time this happened on BART while a student came and sat down next to me. I was already eyes-closed and meditating when she came and sat down, but in my mind's eye I began to see a textbook in my hands, which I was leafing through. I thought it was odd, didn't give it much thought, and kept meditating. Later, after opening my eyes again, I saw that the girl next to me had been reading a textbook.

One way I've found that helps for engaging the visual brain during meditation is, with eyes closed, to continually imagine that your eyes are NOT closed. Eventually your visual centers will do the rest.

The third eye has it's own unique qualities, but you can get it open the same way you got the others open. If the attempt is frustrating, it may indicate blockage and imbalance in a chakra/s below the third eye, in which case it's a good idea to be patient and focus your energy on the lower chakras.

When I run into a sticking point, and begin to feel like I'm fighting the system, I go back to the beginning, and run through the entire process again. This can take several weeks, to months, though it will take less time each time it's done. Open chakras are a result of being free of tension and blockage, a free flow of kundalini.

Hint: when you meditate on your throat chakra and you begin to feel some of that energy affecting your third eye, it might be a good time to start working on the third eye. It will feel like some of the energy in your throat starts to "float" up into the head without any effort on your part. IMO, the only reason to struggle is to learn there's a better way. Much faster to put the focus where energy manifests easily, and use the overflow to work on blockage.

Well, you'd have to grow one first. Once that is accomplished, I'd imagine it'd open just like any other eye, assuming the lids had formed properly.

it is a matter of exploration and learning, more so than acquisition.
I reccommend reading and breathing meditation, and relaxing your needy approach to this.
the needy approach will definitely block real progress.
resorting to drugs will block progress in this too because of the needy character to that decision.
become a good student of life (continuously).
the eye of wisdom
is not something you can grab like prometheus grabbed fire:
you will get glimpses along the way and that may be exciting, keep your cool tho.
(a good student does not jump to conclusions)

I have a theory about the, "Third Eye".

I think it is simple observation, combined with wisdom.

Wisdom is the ability to come to the correct conclusion VERY quickly, even if you haven't seen all the evidence... because you have so much life experience, you have developed sound judgment.

Call it a, "Third Eye" if you want... but the development of one comes from the REAL WORLD, and not from the supernatural. It comes from using the TWO eyes you actually have... and not from opening the one you don't.

Wisdom is the closet thing to magic I have ever seen. Wisdom comes from experience and an understanding of how the physical world actually works.

Take it for what its worth to you:

From the book 'LSD, Spirituality and the Creative Process' (p.143):

" "E.R.
A Hindu religious monk, E.R meditated for four days before ingesting the LSD, sleeping only a little bit. A psychic picture unrolled before his mind, symbolically providing a clear procedure as to how the LSD experience can be embarked upon as a religious journey, from a religious point of view. The process presented itself in the form of a revelation, which worked exceedingly well as he put it into operation, and produced the following evaluation of his experience. It is interesting that he did not really describe his experience, but rather presented an intellectual model.

"The human body is like a flowering plant. The stalk of the plant is the spine. The brain, which resides at the top of the stalk is the bud of the flower which is capable of blooming. The folds of the brain tissue are not unlike the folds of a rose bud. The pineal glands are like the pistal and stamin of a flower. But the human plant could be more likened to the century plant which blossoms only once in its lifetime. The reasons why our brain does not blossom as it should is that we do not live natural lives. The human race has imposed all sorts of abnormal impositions on itself, both physical and mental. The proper growth and function of the brain is not allowed to take place. Prior to this revelation I had assumed that oriental religious terminology such as 'the thousand petaled Lotus residing in the center of the head' was merely poetic symbology for psychological effects. This new concept translates the idea into organic chemistry and gives us tangible substance with which to deal. The flights of mind, the spiritual and psychic rebirth of the mystic can be had permanently if the flower of the brain can be made blossom.
This flowering or activation of the glands of the brain is brought about by what might be called life force, for want of a better term. The Hindus use the term Prana. This life force is being produced and collected in the body at all times and we cannot exist without it. The key to this life-force are the sexual organs which lie at the base of the spine and might be likened to the roots of the stalk of the plant, where our spiritual nourishment has its origin. The purpose is to draw this life force up to the glands of the brain rather than let it be expended through emissions of the sexual organs. This is not an easy thing to do" "

================

I searched through that page but did not find the word "correct"

I did find the following part which relates to wisdom:
Quote:

1. Right view is the true understanding of the four noble truths.

2. Right aspiration is the true desire to free oneself from attachment, ignorance, and hatefulness.

These two are referred to as prajña, or wisdom.



and if you speak with a practicing bhikkhu (as opposed to one that just studies scripture and does not meditate)
you will hear the word "right" transliterated to "suitable" much more often than "correct".

It has everything to do with change which is the only constant in life, and the idea that there is no right, per se, though one can always find a most fitting way to each situation.
One that will fit in the middle so to speak of alternatives.
this is also known as the middle way.

The buddha did not go for conclusions. His discriminating intelligence found a middle way of approaching things on an ongoing basis.

Some students, however, usually need something more firm, and for them a more dumbed down and strict rule would have to be provided. for them a more dualistic right and wrong approach gets them started. In that way people are not exactly equal.

If I may, let's set the bar in the middle.
(that is where the 3rd eye should be)

Yes, I'm aware of the often confused osmosis between physical and psychic processes in the discussions of Kundalini-Shakti. I understand the physical organs and their processes to be 'vehicles' for these more subtle astral organs and their subtle-body processes - not identical with them. Thanks for the quote. I have this book in my own library.

I did find the following part which relates to wisdom:

1. Right view is the true understanding of the four noble truths.





With all due respect, redgreenvines, a post ago you were complaining about MY use of semantics. You even implied the semantic game was useless... and now YOU are playing the game yourself.

But since you brought it up...

CORRECT and INCORRECT are SYNONYMOUS with RIGHT and WRONG... so be picky if you want... but I just gave you a shitload's worth of examples where The Buddha explains what is and is not RIGHT... or if you prefer, what is and is not CORRECT.

And he did this while talking about WISDOM.

You admitted this ALL in your last post... and still somehow missed the forest for the trees.

I should remind you the "Third Eye" is also commonly known as, "The Eye of Wisdom".

take a spoon and start to dig out your forehead. you probably won't find any brain in the way of your 'third eye' so it will probs be easy to find.

The pineal gland, located at the center of the brain, is the third eye. That's not just a mystical association; the gland's original function in our primitive ancestors was, in fact, as an eye with no lid resting at the top of the skull, used to determine the time of day. That's why it controls melatonin, a neurotransmitter related to circadian rhythms. It was mostly reptiles that possessed this third eye, and there are some that still do.

Our own pineal gland has clearly taken up a new function, but it still has primitive retinal tissue, I believe. There is debate as to whether it is technically a part of the brain, as it is unique - it is a single structure, unlike any other brain structure (they usually have a symmetrical counterpart).

If you don't have anything positive and "on topic" to add to the question, you really should just find other threads to post.

Would anyone mind posting some basic meditation guides for begginers? I would really love to hear more. Thanks for opening up such an interesting topic.

The search feature is your friend.

Also, this is not the forum where the, "If you don't have anything nice to say... don't say anything at all." rule applies.

Expect opposing opinions in here, and don't feel bad if your idea is not universally accepted... or if answers don't really seem like answers.

Even people who literally believe in a Third Eye... disagree on the meaning of the term.

No, he's right. I've been there, where your eyes are closed yet you still see. I didn't know how i was doing it, or what was going on ( because i was new to tripping ) but it happened.

It wasn't hard to open. I didn't even have to close my real eyes. Just concentrate on that middle upper part of your head and try and "open it" if you will.

least thats how i did it.

I've experienced the effect of seeing with my eyes closed while tripping. That has nothing to do with the third eye or such nonsense. It's the brain at work same as when you dream.

well i saw from the top middle of my vision, a dome of bright light descending...

It kept descending as i concentrated and kept opening until the light ecclipsed my full vision to where i was no longer seeing out of my own 2 eyes.

I believe thats indeed the 3rd eye.

yah, listen to cube, he's right.....u almost cross your eyes but that is not really what you do...it just kinda feels that way. I know this because when my third eye closes it is really cool, it completely stops, and it feels as if i am uncrossing my eyes. really cool, im not sure if that was a great description or not, but you will know what i am talking about once it happens! Good luck:mushroom2:Shouldnt need it, I didnt even know what a third eye was when it happend!!!

Yeah, you can feel the energy going through your eyeballs when you focus. It almost makes them feel heavy. Make sure not to tense up, though, as that never helps with anything.

Why is a thread about the third eye so contentious, anyway? Third eye, dreams, DMT, we all have different explanations for the same shit and none of us really know we're right.

I'm not knocking mystical states, but chakras are simply emotional outlets and receivers, and the third eye is a large chakra in the forehead. I've read a lot about it, but in my experience, an open third eye (I like "indigo chakra") causes a heightened state of awareness of my surroundings. I can't see anything unusual, but I can be more focused. It's almost like I'm aware of the field around me, but focused at the same time. Communication is easier. I'm pretty sure a lot of people use their third eye without being aware of it. Being aware of the course of emotional energy through the body and it's expression through the chakras isn't necessary for emotional action and reaction to occur.

Again, not saying that it won't produce satori moments, or even mystical revelation of some kind, especially if you have it open and can channel energy through it, but none of that's required for getting it open and being useful. I personally haven't seen anything without drug use, and I can't really say it was the third eye simply because both are in my head.

So, in my opinion, the point of getting the third eye open is to get the emotional body "handled", and in that respect, it's no different than any of the other chakras.

Within your mind, focus your intention to one spot - in the middle of the mental room you have constructed....
Keep focusing, until that point starts to become a source of light shining in all directions - like a little sun....    :sunny:
Keep focusing, concentrating into an ever smaller point, but also growing in intensity and brightness....
Be careful you don't burn your nose hairs....    :lol:

You may suddenly realize that you ARE the room.... 
And then you may realize that you are also the light being created....
And then you may realize that there is no light, and there is no room....
And then you may realize that your nose hairs really DID catch on fire....!    :eek:  :tongue:

I think this is explained by the fact that most here are very young and often only dabble in the use of psychedelics or have no framework for their use as tools for "spiritual" investigation.

Most of these young spiritual psychonauts will go on to lead productive lives in the machine, much like what happened to the flower children of the 60s and 70s. As Mr. Natural sez: "Twas ever thus".
