Third eye? What on earth is that? What does it look like, feel like, or some such. I mean, stimulation happens on a physical level. Is this so-called "third eye" a physical feature?

If not, then how does the question make any sense at all???


Oh so what you are saying is that if YOU can't see it or touch it, then it doesn't exist. Okay.

laugh


Not sure what's so funny... Odd actually. I said no such thing, nor did what I said necessarily imply such a thing. May I suggest that you reread what I wrote and reinterpret accordingly?

Your question is what is so funny to me. (Odd actually.) I find it funny that you would even ask the question when you have the world wide web at your fingertips and can get all the answers you want and decide for yourself.

If you want a general description of what is meant by the third eye, then check the Wikipedia post I left.

If you need a physical organ to look at or see then it is thought (by some people) to be related to the pineal gland which is said to look like a pineapple. (You can believe that or not.)

If you actually want to know about the third eye and what is meant by that, then research it and make up your own mind.

(Otherwise, it appears that you are just wanting to challenge someone or start a debate about it.)

That is okay too.

But when someone understands something they sometimes respond with "I see!"

What they really mean is that they understand because they are not actually 'seeing' anything except in their own minds.

Maybe the "third eye" is understanding or conscious awareness of something.

It is the mind's eye that understands. That is why it has been called "the seat of soul."

It is the observer's post.

Whether or not you believe there is such a thing as "the third eye" it represents enlightenment and the ability to understand, visualize, dream and use the imagination.

To Me, the third eye it is the observer and it is the creative faculty. It is the ability (or function of the mind) that can translate vibrations into three dimensional pictures (or visions) and project them onto our 3D visual screen which is our reality. It can also create images in our mind and thoughts and dreams.

See if this helps you to understand the question being asked. Hopefully it will not seem so odd to you by the time you've read this reply...

As you've just attested to, there are many different uses and/or meanings for "third eye". That much said, usually it means something like a higher level of understanding. That kind of 'thing' isn't physical. Soooo...

Since stimulation verifiably and falsifiably happens on a physical level, I wanted to know what sense it makes for us to talk about stimulating your, my, his, or her third eye if it is - in fact - not physical but mental/immaterial.

I understand your question just find.

Have you ever heard of someone stimulating their imagination?
How about stimulating your mind?
How about stimulating your desire?

Why do you believe that a thing must be physical in order to stimulate it?

Why do you believe that "stimulation" must be verifiably and falsifiably on a physical level?

Yup. Those are all fine examples of exactly the same problem I'm pointing out. They are very poor ways of describing what is actually happening in each respective case.

Why do you believe that a thing must be physical in order to stimulate it?


Because every verifiable example of stimulation happens on a physical level. We can watch it. We can record it. We can know it is happening. We can know it's effects. The better question is why ought I believe otherwise?

Hmmm from a health perspective? I'm not sure what you are looking for... So I'm going to give you a couple options.
1. Visualization and meditation exercises
2. Mugwort
3....And my personal favorite... Video games. Which have been linked to lucid dreaming and an increase in visualization abilities :)

It's not penal to use it, lol
Pineal gland

As it's a physical gland, it's not just about spiritual stuff. (read the italic text)

It's to do with intuition, which is something everyone experiences, some more often than other. It's not only for spiritual ppl.
If you want to become more intuitive, it helps to pay heed to intuitive feelings. The tend to ignore it and things you ignore simply won't develop. Quite logical. Once you start paying heed and acknowledge your intuitive feelings (instinctive feelings, gut feelings), the more your intuition will develop.

Crystals are a good one to stimulate it, you can also use your hand to simply turn it open. But if you're not at least a bit used to working with energy, I don't recommend that, as an (overly) active third eye can cause headache too. And if your 3rd eye isn't active, you're probably not ready for it, otherwise it would've been activated. All chakras are connected, it's like a number of cogs turning simultaneously. You cannot turn the one cog separately. If some cogs are stuck, you cannot simply get one to turn. It will cause a system overload. You'll have to work on all the cogs to get the system going and have it run smoothly.
Meaning you'll have to work on your entire energy system if you effectively want to do something with it.

Some info on the 3rd eye chakra, also non-spiritual info.
Main Characteristic Associated with the Chakra: The Third Eye Chakra's element is light. Even though the third eye is blind, it has a deep vision because it's directed inside. Anja governs and connects the conscious and the unconscious mind.

Third Eye Chakra in balance: When the Chakra is balanced we experience high mental ability, we are able to separate between reality and imagination and best combine logic and emotion. When we live with a balanced Third Eye chakra, we experience overall good health, clear thinking and focus. A healthy third eye chakra will encourage intuition, empathy of others and build trust in oneself.

Third Eye Chakra out of balance: When the Chakra is unbalanced we experience fatigue, day dreaming, sleep problems, lack of assertiveness, inability to listen to others, and may even often feel disoriented. When the Chakra is over active, you may immerse in a world of fantasy and even experience hallucinations.

Balance your Third Eye Chakra: Ways to increase purple energy:
Practice Meditation to develop your intuition.

Use aroma therapeutic essential oils such as Patchouli, Myrrh and Olibanum.

Add purple and indigo colors to your wardrobe, even a scarf can assist the flow of energy.

Choosing music that is classical in nature such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach can enhance the energies flowing to the third eye chakra.

Gemstones associated with the third eye chakra are amethyst, tourmaline and tanzanite.
