The Third Eye: Friend Or Foe?

 Is your third eye open? How do you know? 

Check out my post More Than Meets The Eye for a baseline description. I suggest reading that post prior to this if you are not familiar with the third eye definition and characteristics. As that post discusses, it represents a tiny structure in the brain called a pineal gland. This small member is very similar to our facial eyes having cones and rods for processing light and images. However, the pineal gland aka third eye detects rays of light on the part of the spectrum undetectable by our 2 outer eyes. It produces the hormone melatonin that regulates our sleep/wake cycle (circadian rhythms) and other bodily functions. The third eye is manifested at the 6th chakra which is an energy field right above the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead. Hence, called the brow chakra located where the name implies. It is responsible for higher perception and intuition. A good description is being our physical window to observe and receive information from the spirit realm and other worlds. 

How do we know if someone has a closed third eye? It appears that a huge segment of the population have a weak 6th chakra. It is actually a nonfunctional or calcified pineal gland. However, not too many people get a pineal gland check-up to even make that determination. We must look at the specific mental and physical aspects that are present. There must be the recognition that the signs/symptoms can also reflect other mental and physical disorders. For that reason, pinpointing a closed third eye is not necessarily a clear-cut task. One must look at the signs/symptoms along side health background, social history, lifestyle, personal habits, etc. A few of the signs/symptoms of a closed third eye include the following: 

💀 anxiety 

💀 depression 

💀 paranoia 

💀 insomnia & sleep disturbances

💀 migraines 

💀 visual disturbances

💀 seizures 

💀 vague/obscure dreams

💀 inability to remember dreams

💀 nightmares

💀 learning disabilities

💀lack of intuition 

💀 poor judgment and decision-making

💀 frequent display of negative behaviors and thought patterns

Poor diet, environmental toxins, and systematic programming are usually the culprits. Consuming a healthy well-balanced diet is the cornerstone of good health and vitality. The pineal gland will respond favorably to adequate nutrient intake just like every other part of the body. Edward Group, June 2017 writes The Top 5 foods for the Pineal Gland as chlorella, iodine, oregano oil, apple cider vinegar, and beets or beet juice. All those foods contain substances that prevent calcification and/or remove toxic metals from the body. In particular, the mineral fluoride found mostly in faucet water and toothpaste has been scientifically proven to bring about the process of calcification rendering pineal gland deactivation. Calcification means hardening of the tissues usually by calcium deposits. Fluoride seems only beneficial to the hard tissues of the body, such as bones and teeth. However, it is not friendly to the soft tissues. Any body organ that is calcified will not function properly. 

Systematic programming is how the way we think and view life is manipulated by the information we receive from mainstream society. The norms of a culture and the institutions that create those norms comprise the mainstream. Psychological research has shown if we are told something long enough, we will believe it no matter how ridiculous it is. Input from the third eye can be literally blocked by how we think and perceive things. Imagine having a radio turned on, but someone intentionally turns the volume to zero. At that point, they begin singing to you hoping that you believe you are listening to the radio. Eventually, you believe their singing is the radio music not realizing the actual radio music has been muted.

Individuals who report having a strong 6th chakra or open third eye often display the following: 

☀heightened perception and intuition 

☀highly lucid and vivid dreams 

☀frequently seeing synchronicity, such as 11:11 on the clock 

☀positive outlook on life 

☀precognition and other psychic abilities 

☀warmth or pressure between the eyebrows 

☀a sudden increase in any positive behaviors and thought patterns 

People are labeled as awake who have those experiences. Partaking in anything that raises our vibrations will encourage the third eye to open and remain that way. 

Every person is unique having different abilities, psychic gifts, and experiences once their pineal gland is activated. Some might only experience phenomenon through their dreams. Some may have extra-sensory experiences while awake. Some may have only visual perceptions while others might have auditory capabilities (hearing). A person could be gifted with only 1 psychic ability or have a combination of 2 or more. Wikipedia provides a long list of psychic abilities and extra-sensory perceptions (ESP). Here are just a few: 

~Astral Projection-traveling outside of the physical body without experiencing a physical death.

~Levitation-defiance of gravity by the physical body.

~Mediumship (channeling)-contacting and communicating with spirits.

~Precognition (Premonition)-foreseeing future events.

~Psychokinesis (telekinesis)-mobilizing objects without making physical contact.

~Remote Viewing-observing details and events in real-time in another physical location separate from your own.

~Telepathy- communicating with only thoughts and mental energy.

A growing number of people around the globe are reported to have psychic abilities. That is not surprising and consistent with the energy shift of the Age of Aquarius we are now living in. The problem I am observing is the lack of mental and spiritual maturity plaguing many individuals whose third eyes are open. The situation is like a toddler holding a loaded gun...extremely dangerous! The toddler can pull the trigger, but does not have the judgment to use the weapon safely. These type of people have genuine abilities, but are using them in a counter-productive manner. One's gifts should be aligned with the high frequencies of love and our Creator. If you have been blessed with an active pineal gland, it should be used to make yourself better, therefore, making the world a better place. 

There are individuals who are able to control their third eye functions. They can open and shut the door as they please shifting in and out of spiritual perception at will. Years ago, when I was submerged deep in the sea of organized religion, I attended a prophetic seminar, so to speak. A bunch of ministers got together and prophesied to anyone who bought a ticket...a money-making scheme! I now know that is a major telltale sign of a false prophet! Hundreds of people showed up and the building was jam packed. The various church leaders were approached by one individual at a time. Those false prophets spoke of specific details about our lives that they in no way could know about in the natural. They told us what God supposedly was saying to us and provided information about future situations. Please note, false prophets may actually have legitimate psychic or third eye capabilities. The false description comes from where they are getting their information from or the actual god they are serving. Whether their abilities were real or fake, it appeared as if they had exceptional control over turning on/off their ESP and could customize it for each person. On the flip side, other individuals experience their third eye perceptions unexpectedly and without warning, having little or no control over the process. Not too long ago, I saw an episode of Twilight Zone where 2 complete strangers located in different towns could hear each other's thoughts. They had absolutely no control over the occurrences that popped up without warning. Did anyone see that episode? It is actually one of my favorites 😊.

My third eye opened spontaneously when I was a child. I did not have to do anything special to trigger it. My gifts evolved as intuition, prophetic dreams, and visions. I recall being absolutely terrified of my experiences not understanding what on earth was going on! I finally told a close friend and some people at my church, but they did not respond well, acting as if I had mental issues. It is ironic that a group of people who believe in a book that was supernaturally written full of supernatural stories could not accept a supernatural situation right in front of them...go figure. I am forever grateful that when I told my mother, she instinctively knew it was a spiritual issue. She even told me she had similar experiences. Back then, information about the pineal gland or third eye was not as accessible or widespread as it is now. There definitely was no internet or World Wide Web. My mother nor I understood the details, yet, it was clear I was undergoing a major spiritual shift.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the safest way to facilitate third eye opening. Most of us already know what constitutes a healthy lifestyle - Proper eating habits, exercise, and adequate sleep. Avoid attempting rapid pineal gland activation that are often offered on YouTube and other websites. The mind might not be able to adjust to the sudden rush of supernatural energies flooding your perception. In other words, potentially, you could drive yourself insane! Another dangerous way people try to open their third eye is with illegal drugs and hallucinogens. There are plenty of news stories of people who commit horrible crimes after abusing chemical substances. 

A practice that is very supportive of raising vibrations is keeping a dream diary or log. I keep a notebook and pen right next to my bed. As soon as I wake-up, I write down everything I can remember from my dreams while still fresh in my mind. Additional practices that have been proven beneficial to raising vibrations are meditation/prayer, yoga, using crystals and other gemstones for healing, routinely saging (smudging) the home/office, listening to binaural beats and music within therapeutic ranges of hertz, and spending quality time in the great outdoors. Earthing has been recommended by some as a therapeutic way to commune with nature. The individual walks barefooted directly on the planet surface, be it grass, dirt, or sand. It is believed that the body absorbs the energy of the planet it is in sync with directly through the feet. As a result, the chakras are rejuvenated and balanced, which in turn, improve physical, mental, and spiritual health. Please, be careful where you walk barefooted to ensure the area is free of dangerous objects, insects, or wildlife.

Seeking knowledge and maintaining an open unbiased mind will always lead one to the truth. It is that very truth that the third eye allows us to see...realities beyond the boxes our minds have been trapped inside. I would like to address readers who label this type of information as "New Age." You are incorrect and misinformed. It is anything but new! What most people call New Age is very ancient knowledge and wisdom that has been around even longer than this planet. The ancient civilizations obviously had a better understanding of human existence and the nature of our universe. They had access to information prior to it being tampered with or outright destroyed. They were able to acquire original writings and documents in their original format. The ancient knowledge base was much more intact than the one of these modern times. The only good thing about the current information is that it can reach a staggering larger number of people due to the internet. 

The following situation is probably why the traditional church condemns the third eye and labels it as evil. A significant portion of the population reports horrific, terrifying, and very unpleasant experiences once their third eye opens. Some of these unpleasant experiences people describe are having nightmares and terrible visions of malevolent entities aka demons. In my opinion, the primary reason for this is too much negative energy within or around the person. I had a similar occurrence when I descended into a very dark state of mind due to the inability to kick a crazy woman out of my home discussed in Surviving Rona. I further worsened my mental state by watching dozens of horror movies on a daily basis. People don't realize what they visualize on a regular basis shapes their reality...my dreams and visions took a dark and frightening turn. It got to the point where I was scared to be in the house alone or go to bed at night. My negative energy flooded my third eye opening up a portal ways to corresponding dimensions. Once I changed my actions and thoughts, my spiritual perceptions changed accordingly. 

It should be understood that sometimes, we cannot avoid negative or dark phenomenon. We cannot always control the energies in our environment, unless practicing black magic/witchcraft/sorcery. When aligned with God, we can only control our own energy and state of mind. It is comforting to know that The Universal Law of Perpetual Transmutation says high frequencies are more powerful than low frequencies. In other words, high vibrations can more easily transform low vibrations into high vibrations than the reverse. 

Can I get an Amen!!!

In conclusion, the third eye aka pineal gland aka the 6th chakra can be a friend or foe depending on the energy that feeds it. It can be a powerful vehicle for ascension if engaged in a safe and prudent manner. It can also be a portal way directly to hell if handled recklessly. The choice is yours and mine.

If you have had any significant experiences with third eye activation please share them.
