The Third Eye is a natural part of every person, and it's a "meta" organ. In

other words: It consists of all the senses and mind working together as a

larger more powerful synergistic sensory organ. The Third Eye is a very

clever bit of natural human evolution: A meta organ designed to sense,

connect to patterns and then relay that data back in overlays of information

on top of your other senses. This article is about how the third eye is

connected to our higher mental and spiritual abilities as humans such as mind

over matter powers. It gives you some idea about how to open and activate the

third eye, and what effects to expect.

Remember that the third eye is the brow chakra, which is the chakra
center of intelligence in addition to mystical, paranormal or supernatural

powers in humans. We as humans share the three lower chakras with other

animals, but the higher chakras are unique to the human race. In the Indian

tradition, the Third Eye is referred to as the eye of knowledge, which is the

seat of the teacher inside or antar-guru. The third eye is the ajna chakra (

sixth chakra), also known as brow chakra or brow centre. Many Hindus wear a

tilak between the eyebrows to represent the third eye. In the Upanishads, a

human being is likened to a city with ten gates. Nine gates (eyes, nostrils,

ears, mouth, urethra, anus) lead outside to the sensory world. The third eye

is the tenth gate and leads to inner realms housing myriad levels of

consciousness. Consciousness is always a difficult term to define, because

the word is used and understood in a wide variety of ways. So it frequently

happens that what one person sees as a definition of consciousness is seen by

others as something else different altogether.

The key to activating the mystical abilities housed within the third eye is

to open it up somehow. Why would anybody want to access the mystical powers

of the Third Eye? Well, because this higher grade of spiritual or cosmic

energy can be used for many creative and useful purposes in our lives. That

includes, self help, healing, super achievement, action at any distance with

the mind and increased mind over matter abilities. It's a fact.

Now, the best way to open or activate this energy center is clearly explained

in the Bhagavad-Gita by Lord Sri Krsna, who is known as the Master of all

mysticism. Any advise provided by Lord Krsna is certainly authoritative.

According to Sri Krsna, it is necessary to concentrate the life energy within

the heart and throat chakra and from there it naturally rises.

According to the Bhagavad-Gita, after concentrating the energy in the heart

chakra and throat chakra, the energy naturally rises into the Third Eye which

causes it to open and activates many mystical powers. There is so much to

learn about how to work with the prana life force and it is the role of the

guru to shed light on all of this. But what is a guru and how do we know that

they are real?

From my personal experience, gurus are definitely real, and they can
immensely help you in life. I am living proof. I have had many personal

encounters with Gurus, many magical ones indeed which have involved real

miracles. When the student is ready spiritually, then the master will emerge.

Connecting with the Guru has a major effect on the chakras which is very

important for activating the Third Eye. The guru is empowerd to actvate our

higher chakras and teach us how to do it, so it is crucial to conect with a

true spiritual master. So I encourage you to learn as much

as possible about how to work with your higher mental and spiritual powers

because the benefits are immeasurable and eternal.

When we apply the higher cosmic yoga power in our lives, there is nothing we

can not achieve, there is no obstacle that can not be surmounted and we find

the ideal solutions for every issue we face. When we connect with the higher

powers of yoga, meditation and the chakras, everything that we need is

automatically and always provided for with little or no effort on our parts.

So, use your resources for learning more about these issues, and watch

everything in your life gradually and definitely morph into the way you want

it to be and the way it should be.
