Title: The third eye
Post by: Sicko FanAtic on March 12, 2018, 09:59:15 AM
I started looking upwards more and discovered a sense of tranquility. I read that has something to do with the third eye

The mind's eye, yes.

So what was your experience? As simple as your statement, or was there more to it?

Almost that simple. Words, ya know?

Laying in bed, feeling anxious about the next day's events. Noticed a lessening of the tension when I turned my gaze, or just my attention "upward". Did the same thing today, led to nice returns at work. I realized I'm certainly not the only person who may have discovered this, some googling let to this notion of the third eye and kundalindi and yadda

Goes with the line from Zen Buddhism: "You can study all you want to make your teaching great, but if you do not meditate, your inner light will die out."

I can tell you one thing; nothing blind your third eye as much as alcohol. In my drinking periods i'm absolutely disconected with my spirituality.
But there's no doubt there's a huge difference in looking straight forward and looking down on the ground.

I often look upwards and I think of my deceased mother and brother and it always brings a smile to my face. Their suffering is over, they're in a better place, they are together and in my eyes that leaves no room for sadness.

Because I have balance issues, I often keep my eyes on the ground as I walk. So, when I want to look up, I have to stop. At that point, I want it to be worthwhile, so I take everything in. Looking up for me means shutting off my inner voice and opening myself to impressions from all around me.

It is at times like those that I become most aware of others and least aware of myself.

Re: drinking blinding the third eye

Omigosh yes. Hangovers leave it blind for the next day as well.

Yes, I'm blind today

I am enjoying what this person is saying...

And I have had moments of ecstasy such as he describes. In one moment, I felt my connection to each living thing around me in the form of a path from my mind to each other plant and animal as I looked around. It happened as I drove my car, lasted for several minutes.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm not onboard with his notion of " beyond the physical", but he is a very good speaker. If I substituted a different word for "physical" I would be completely satisfied!

Third Eye is so 20th century.

/me ignores the Zen jesters...

@Sicko: I do that, sometimes. I'll swap out a word or two as someone lectures on and think, "Now it fits my way of seeing things perfectly!" I may not believe exactly as the presenter after that, but I appreciate the similarities.

Of course, if the word I'm replacing is "not" or "no" or some other diametric opposite, I'm not going down the similarity path. But if it's changing out some spiritual term to better fit my personal vocabulary... then I'm not all that different on that view, am I?

In some ways, a third eye would also be what we use to contemplate dimensions our senses cannot experience.

What I mean by that is not just a thought of God, but actual considerations of 4th, 5th, 6th, and so on spatial dimensions... additions to the ones of front-back, left-right, and up-down. Some people think it's clever to call out "diagonal!" as a 4th dimension, but that is merely a combination of one or more known spatial vectors. Movement in a true 4th dimension would result in some very strange effects, indeed, such as disappearance or parts of the body emerging in non-contiguous threespace...

But does the devine not also exist in these dimensions? The way i see it, it's in learning to "see" more of these dimensions we'll be able to experience being closer to the devine too.
Though as a student of Doc. Emmet Brown, the 4th dimension for me will forever be time. Yes, i know that's not a spatial dimension as such, but it effects space.

For the first question, one can say "yes", even though it is not a necessary condition for more than three spatial dimensions.

For the second question, one has to then consider how being able to view an object for all moments it exists would be possible.

It was the first part that was serious. Yes, it's not necessary to break out of the three dimensions to get connected with the devine, but as i said, i think we'll get alot closer if we do. Just like it's not necessary to use psychedelics in search of enlightenment, but it's damn sure a helpful tool.

The second part was more lighthearted fooling around, hence the referance to Doc. Emmet Brown...

It's also not necessary for there to be a divine in order to have more spatial dimensions than the ones we experience.

Could've done, but i don't think anyone thought so. More that you're against anal sex either way, be it homosexual or hetrosexual.

Still stand by this point, though:

Well, in theory, ofcourse not. But the devine is omnipresent, so it is there either way. But that's going beside my point, though.

Well, atleast he didn't end up like Glenn "Kermit" Hughes in the mid 80's. :P

Actually, health personel and medics recommend shooting up anally without a needle instead of pushing needles into your veins. If you're going to go down that route, atleast it's a tiny bit healthier, you don't have the risk of infections or not hitting the vein, pumping the junk into a muscle instead.

Still sounds pretty fucked, though, and i'm glad i've never even been close to doing that, or even using much of such drugs.
Having to once be the nurse for a "friend" who was too shaky to shoot up himself gave me the final distaste for such, though the idea of putting a needle into myself have always been disgusting.
