How do you know if you have momentarily open the 3rd eye? What kind of experiences would validate that the
3rd eye was opened for a period of time.

The reason I ask is, I had a weird experience. Its usually after sleeping in the morning.

This morning, I looked into my 3rd eye or what I thought was the 3rd eye. It was like tunnel vision, shaped like an eye. Everything outside
the eye border was dark, but inside I saw beautiful colors moving about. It was like creatures swimming or floating about zipping
from one direction to the next. At first I was in ah, thinking this is cool, just watching the events. It wasn't very clear at first. Then
I focused harder to look and the eye opened up and everything was crystal clear. The images were very vibrant and colorful. I looked at what looked
like colorful vibrant fish swimming about and it almost appeared like they saw me too. After about a few minutes of this, the eye
closed. I tried to open it up, but couldn't, then I just opened my eyes.

I don't think this was a dream, as it was so crystal clear and just in the 3rd eye area. Maybe I'm wrong.

Lucid dreaming? I had a dream before this event and I remember that also, but feels different.

[hyok]

from what i've read and heard from others, it seems like a different experience for different people. Third Eye opening for me was the most incredible experience of my life and what started my journey from being a full-blown Atheist to ending up at the Tao.

If anyone's interested, i can share my experience in full detail. it's probably the only thing i feel confident in explaining. lol.

The Third Eye opening is a combination of the Pineal gland and the Pituitary gland becoming electro-magnetically tied to each other.

This is my account of it to an email sent to a friend...

how have you been activating your pineal gland? have you changed diet, avoided flouride, etc?

Quote

I'd been reading about the Pineal gland and was a little floored at how I'd never heard of it before, so I looked it up on the net and found a diagram of its location in the brain. Now purely out of curiosity, I attempted to "feel" my pineal gland using my consciousness. Kind of like focusing my conscious energy on it just to feel it, i suppose. In any case, I could not feel it. For the life of me I could not focus my consciousness into the region of the cranium where the Pineal rests. It honestly felt like an empty void of space that I could not get into. This led to more frustration and I became determined to "touch" it with my mind. I attempted it again with no success, then on the third attempt I remember focusing breathing deeply and harnessing the energy in my brain and then pushing it downward, forcing it down and into the center of my head. I could literally feel it getting closer and closer to the pineal... and then it happened. FLASH FLASH FLASH. It, honest to God literally, looked like light was flashing out of my eyes. I kind of freaked out at first and looked around to see if the lights in my room had bursted or something, but that wasn't the case. And even from my point of view I knew that the light source was not coming from anywhere by my own eyes.

So out of curiosity and just plain fascination, I attempted it one more time and AGAIN -- FLASH FLASH FLASH. Three times as quickly as 1-2-3. I laughed again and had now confirmed that it was coming from inside of me. I went to sleep that night, woke up the next day experiencing a strong sensation of energy coursing around the top of my head.

After that the lucid dreams began. Every night i seemed to have vivid dreams about personal issues, relationships with other people that needed work, and then on the Fifth Night I had a different dream. In the dream I had parked my car in the city and was wandering aimlessly around town when I realized that I'd forgotten where I'd parked my car. So for the rest of the dream I'm searching for my car, asking strangers if they'd seen it, trying to remember where I'd parked it but for the life of me could not find it. I woke up at around 2AM (i rarely wake up in the middle of the night) very frustrated and annoyed by the dream. I got up, turned on the lights and walked to the restroom and then kitchen to get a glass of water.

While walking back I look outside of my living room window and see my car. The signal lights are on. I open the front door and walk out to investigate and I see a man running down the street away from me. I'm a little startled at this point and cautiously walk to my car and see the driver's side door open and where my car stereo used to be is littered with wires. From what I could gather from the damage done to the ignition on my car, I'd say he was trying to steal my car, saw the lights turn on in my house, then took the radio instead.

Now this could all be coincidence. I realize that, but I know it wasn't. Somehow my mind, my subconscious, my spirit -- whatever -- somehow IT knew what was going on outside and woke me up. That was when I knew for sure strange things were happening.

Below is the closest description I've read to what i'd experienced. It's from Alice Bailey's Esoteric Philosophy. I haven't read her stuff, didn't even know who she was prior to any of this, but apparently this information was telepathically communicated to her by a Buddhist Monk named Djwhal Khul in early to mid 1900's. I don't condone or believe anything from Bailey, all I am saying is that the below description is the only reference i've been able to find that describes something similar to what I experienced.


Esoteric Psychology V. 1, p. 290 by Alice A. Bailey

But in the head of man himself is also to be found a marvelous symbolic happening. In that living organism is enacted that drama whereby the purely human being merges himself in divinity. The great final drama of the mystical union between God and man, and between the soul and the personality is there enacted. According to the Eastern philosophy, there are in the head of man two great energy centers. One of them, the center between the eyebrows (ajna), blends and fuses the five types of energy which are transmitted to it and blended with it,—the energy of the three centers below the diaphragm and of the throat and heart centers. The other, the head center, is awakened through meditation, service and aspiration, and it is through this center that the soul makes its contact with the personality. This head center (crown chakra) is the symbol of the spirit or positive masculine aspect, just as the center between the eyebrows is the symbol of matter, of the negative feminine aspect. Connected with these force vortices are two physical plane organs, the pituitary body and the pineal gland. The first is negative and the second is positive. These two organs are the higher correspondences of the male and female organs of physical reproduction. As the soul becomes increasingly potent in the mental and emotional life of the aspirant, it pours in with greater power into the head center. As the man works with his personality, purifying it and bending it to the service of the spiritual will, he automatically raises the energies of the centers in the body up to the center between the eyebrows. Eventually the influence of each of the two centers increases and becomes wider and wider, until they make a contact with each other's vibratory or magnetic field, and instantly the light flashes out. Father-spirit and mother-matter unite and are at-one and the Christ is born (Krishna consciousness). "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," said the Christ. This is the second birth, and from that moment vision comes with increasing power.


Treatise on Cosmic Fire, p. 965 by Alice A. Bailey

In the work of creation, as occultly carried on, all these three physical centers (pineal, pituitary, medulla oblongata) have to be utilized, and from a consideration of the subject it will become apparent why it has been necessary to deal with them in this order.

By means of the pineal gland, the organ of spiritual perception, man ascertains the will and purpose of the Ego (Soul), and from thence he draws the necessary energy from the higher levels, via the head center and the sutratma (thread of the atma).

By means of the pituitary body, the second element of desire or of the form-building energy, becomes available, and under the law of attraction he can mould, and build in deva substance.

When the alta major center (medulla oblongata), the synthesis of what might be called nervous energy, is awake, it becomes possible for him to materialize and activate the desired form which, through attractive energy, he is in process of constructing.

It will be apparent, therefore, why it is that so few people ever construct thought forms which are of constructive lasting benefit to humanity, and also why it is that the Great Ones, (as They work through Their disciples) are forced to work with groups, being seldom able to find a man or woman whose three physical head centers are simultaneously active. They frequently have to work with large groups before the quota of energy supplied to Them for the accomplishment of Their ends measures up to that necessitated.

Opening of the Third Eye

Copyright ©1996, Philosophical Research Society



This painting of the head of Minerva shows, in part, the activities of the pineal gland and the pituitary body at the time of the phenomenon commonly termed "the opening of the Third Eye." The Kundalini fire is seen rising upward through the spinal canal into the pons of the medulla oblongata. The golden light radiating from the base of the brain, at the back, gradually increases in size and intensity until it forms the nimbus, or halo, of the saint. The pituitary body is here shown surrounded by an elliptic rose aura. The pineal gland - the Seat of the Soul of the Mysteries - is here depicted as blue in color and surrounded by a radiating blue aura. In reality, however, this aura includes within itself all the colors of the spectrum, but blue decidedly predominates. The tiny vibrating finger on the pineal gland points directly toward the pituitary body. This finger, vibrating at a very high rate of speed, is the actual cause of true spiritual illumination. The combination of all three head centers when integrated is known as the "Third Eye" or Eye of Shiva. (Paraphrased from Manly P. Hall).

The relationship of the physical correspondents of the three head centers, pineal, pituitary, and medulla oblongata (alter major) to the Higher Self is shown here. The red line on this diagram labeled Antahkarana is the rainbow bridge or creative thread that is built through meditation and service. It bridges the gap between the lower concrete mind (mental unit) and the higher mind. The gap is located on the 4th subplane of the mental plane. It builds a bridge to the Soul and to the permanent mental atom of the Spiritual Triad. This bridge eventually extends to the Monad.

Thanks hyok. I have a feeling this may be the 3rd eye I experienced. It was very magical experience. Beautiful colors. Very peaceful. Just observing. I'm going to see if I can repeat it. If it can't be
repeated, its probably a lucid dream.

[de_paradise]

It sounds like lucid dreaming. Some of my lucid dreams start in a really similar fashion. This lucid dreaming may be a subset of, or contained within a larger 3rd eye openeing process. Stay tuned!

[Fire Dragon]

Hello

I have had a similar but not equal experience. In my practises in the white tiger/tigress system there is a meditation upon a point behind the eyes that is cald the ancestar hall or the original cavity. When focusing on the point I saw flaches of light.

I also had dreams about my ancestors and theire importance in my life.


Well I stopped that practise a year ago, but will continue now when I do the course with Hsi Lai.

Yes, I think it has to do with the 3rd eye opening soon.

[The Genuine Article]

i was always taught that The eye is an organ that is referred to as a mirror and a window to the soul. It allows one with proper knowledge to see in the body the entity and the well-being of the body. It also allows the entity within to look outward which produces protection from impending danger. Using the eye properly causes the entity to properly judge the handiwork of the mind. In fact, it produces quite a bit of independence for the body and soul (entity).

The eye performs many, many, many functions, however, in all of its functions to enhance life it can be denied just by a blink or the shutting of the eyelids. Of course this is all in the physical. There must be an eye that is in accord with Allah and His Will which is unable to deny Allah at any time, and this eye is referred to as the "Third Eye" or spiritual eye. This is an eye that deals with the essence of all things or, shall I say, that which produces all things, It is a perfect connection or avenue to Allah, the Creator, which causes mastery in whatever the endeavor may be if this eye is used properly.

Can we not tackle the whole Allah issue right now?...I mean I'm tired and ready for bed. I'm not really meaning an attack on your "faith" but .. well.. I think you get what I'm saying. I'm glad youre on the forum and welcome you with wide arms and tea that's hot all the time but for the sake of arguement can we leave things of this sort out of the forum? I really dislike hearing praise Jesus and praise Allah just because it's debunked so easily. I'm happy you have faith but can you please please please leave what you said out of the forum? I know of a certain someone who can deny Allah all day long every day of the week but is able to do amazing AMAZING THINGS. There are people on this forum that can and will tell Allah to kiss their bare cheeks and are able to do amazing things....Please...let's not talk the state of Islam right now

[hyok]

I should add that it's been over 7 months since and things have definitely changed in and around my cranium. For instance, for a couple of months after the awakening, i felt a lot of pressure between my eyes, like a huge zit was about to grow, or like a person had a finger pressing against it. I also experienced various throbbing sensations around my head while meditating.

Nowadays during meditation, whenever i see waves of light in my mind's eye, once it leaves the frame of my mind's eye, i can feel its energy flowing along the same path beyond my vision along the membrane of my skin. After meditation it feels as if i've got a magnetic weight hanging from between my eyes as well as the lower back of my head. These have been the physical manifestations, the metaphysical have been mostly in dreams - occasional psychic dreams, but mostly dreams where i feel a strong communication occurring between my personality and my soul. Also, auras seem to visible to me now, which is really f'n trippy.

Another subject of note is the research done by Dr. Rick Strassman. I've read DMT: The Spirit Molecule in which he theorizes that at the point of death, the pineal gland, which is heavily guarded against stress, experiences so much stress that it releases large doses of DMT (dimethyltryptamine) and his theory is that when this occurs, consciousness is transported through a micro-wormhole in the pineal to another place in the universe. Many of the participants in the study experienced this, as well as communication with other beings.

After reading DMT as well as Inner-paths to Outer-space, i attempted to brew Ayahuasca tea. Ordered bannister caapi as well as chacruna from an online botany company, but unfortunately the plants were too old and the potency had diminished so we didn't get the experience we wanted. Ended up being a complete waste of money.

Also, two weeks after my third eye awakening, I experienced sleep paralysis, something I haven't experienced since I was a kid, but this time I surprisingly was able to break out of the paralysis, and as i moved to get up I saw what I can only describe as two smiling pale-green faced alien beings in my mind's eye. I still have no idea what exactly this means.

I've also heard of others being able to see aliens after their 3rd eye was open as well. I know mine is not opened yet, but something is definitely happening.

[Stigweard]

Heya DragonFire ... your experience and perception of this event was so close to my own that it sent goosebumps across my skin.

My initial 'opening' came about through a spontaneous qigung session wherein I directed the most intense flow of energy from my hands into my third eye area with the result that my 'third eye' was blown open once and for all. In the time that followed this I had numerous encounters with the eye that you are refering to. In time allow yourself to enter into and pass through that eye.

Be sure not to try and force anything though ... steady as she goes captain. Especially in this time I would recommend you practice as much grounding as possible and give attention to the 'purity' in your environment and activities.

Congratulations DragonFire ... you have reached a guidepost.

Lucid dreaming? I had a dream before this event and I remember that also, but feels different.

[Yuen Biao]

Some very interesting experiences here, thanks for sharing them!
I too have experienced some of the milder accounts relating to energy and the opening of the third eye, although I have yet to see little green aliens. One thing though, that is pretty freaky a vision to see in the quietitude of one's training; how is one to deal with this experience? Just try and forget it, or acknowledge it and then quickly dismiss this event? I remember Glenn Morris in 'Path Notes...' spoke of something similar.

By 'grounding' what exactly is your interpretation of this concept, as I know people can interpret this differently? Do you mean seated meditation?
Thanks.

Many years ago this strange event happend regarding the 3rd eye, i doubted if i would post as its kinda personal but here it goes:

Im walking towards an Italian place for some tasty pasta during my lunchbreak.

An old guy from India (he was wearing a tulband and looked Indian) who i never saw before was walking at the other side of the street, he was a bit behind me but i noticed a piercing feeling in my back because someone was looking so i turned around and nodded a friendly hello when our eyes crossed. He smiles from the other side of the street and suddenly runs to where i am .. in the proces he almost gets run over by a car.

I halt and remain calm (always be calm and carefull on the street here, you never know who you meet hé) .. the guy stands infront of me and starts talking real quickly and excited. He said many strange things half of wich i didnt understand .. he recognised me, he knows much about me etc. and at the end of he's rambling he tells me: my friend you are blessed and your third eye is wide open thats how i noticed you.

I wasnt to busy with spirituality back then so i really didnt know how to react, he completely caught me by suprise .. infact i thought the guy was trying to sell me a handreading or sumthing so i yust wanted to get out of the situation and politely and a bit shy thanked him for he's kind words.

Not even a millisecond later he's hand shoots to my forehead and he puts he's thumb in between my eyes. Energy shoots out like mad. It felt like he sticked he's thumb trough my skull and he was pressing my pinealgland on the inside of my skull. I almost got knocked over .. it felt like being hit with a tazer in between the eyes, i could only see white lights flashing by .. with my eyes open. Yust writing about it the feeling comes back.

That moment it really looked to me like somekind of energetic rape if that even exists, after a short while i regained focus and yust hit he's hand and pushed him far away.

He said some more words in Indian, smiled and walked of as if nothing happend. I was standing there dazed and deeply impressed. Never saw the man again.

I was in a state of shock, didnt know what to think of it .. if it would happen now i would thank the guy as it was clear he was giving somekind of powerfull blessing, but at that moment .. was yust blown of my socks

Kind regards, Mike

I would tend to agree on the suggestion of not making a big deal of such experiences. The real experience, or the level on which the experience takes place, is infinitely more subtle then the theories and explanations we are compelled to contrive. By acting like nothing took place can help to avoid unnecessary wastage of the gift of energy provided within the experience.

Thank you for asking. Undoubtedly there are many effective techniques to ground ones energy. What works best for me is standing qigong and taiji, though I have been known to hug the occasional tree
