We are all used to see people with two eyes, nose, one mouth, two ears. It seldom happens that anybody thinks about the ‘Third Eye’, which is also described as the ‘Eye Of Wisdom’ or ‘The Eye Of Soul’ or ‘The Invisible Eye’.
Our two physical eyes look out at the world and at others. They do not see ‘me’ or the ‘true reality’ of others. It is the ‘Third Eye’ which looks inward to seek these truths.
What we see from our eyes is closely knit with how we think — as we think, so we perceive. When the third eye ‘opens up’, our thinking changes, light comes into our life and we see ‘the real self’ and ‘others’ with a new vision.
Mercy truth and love fill our thoughts, and so our vision. There is a true feeling that everyone is good and of closeness, not duality.
This light also lets us clearly see what is going on around us, what is important and what we need to do. It is as if an inner spark has been lit; before there was darkness with the feelings of not knowing and of blindness. Our life becomes one of inspiring, of quality, of value and filled with mercy, love and truth.
In order to open the ‘Third Eye’, one needs to be a regular practitioner of meditation as it helps us to restore ourselves and understand the self more deeply. The experience of calmness and peace in meditation enables us to get back in touch with our original nature, which in turn enlightens ourself as well as others around us.
