Energy Part 2 - Continued Energy and Third Eye

From yesterday's post I got this question:


How about the energy that is seen as an aura. Also during meditation, white light or golden light can be seen from what I've read after a certain point. After a while, it is also seen during conscious state also from what I've read.


Some people do see an "aura" or "light". With training many people can be taught how to view aura's in a "standard way"

However: it's not what most people think it is. Your eyes only "see" what they are designed to see. But your mind can overlay additional information over each sense. Auras are such an information overlay.

The brain has the ability to process visual information, and it has the ability to use all that circuitry to pump back information in the form of visual response: which doesn't have to be from the eyes.

Your whole neural network, your mind and sense organs form a larger more sensitive "antenna" to pick up on energy and patterns. The mind then has the problem of how to send that information back to you. It has to use what it already has access to: the 5 normal senses. For example it can send back the images for you as an "aura". In reality what you are seeing is slightly different than that: but it's the best way the "third eye" has to relay the information back to you. This becomes the "aura" as the translated result.

Because so much of this depends on your ability to interpret the results: this creates lots of chances for mis-translation between the "facts" and what your third eye returns to you. Also because we see things differently it can be problematic to exchange the information back and forth between each other in a clear fashion. This opens up quite a bit of room for mystical practices to open up within. Some truly work, others which might vary from person to person in how they tune the sense, and others for tricksters to use for deception.

Taoist practice has quite a bit of training regarding how to use and work with the third eye. It's a real sense, But it is a "meta" sense and it must be "used and tuned" in order to be developed, rather than it being something that just works out of the box of birth.

As a Taoist I have been developing my third eye since I was 5 or 6 years old and had my first vision. When I shared my first vision I discover immediately, most people couldn't see the world in this fashion. Even worse, I was persecuted when sharing this ability. Being so young, I quickly learned to keep it to myself and explore it silently and patiently on my own terms. Until this year, I haven't opened up on this part of my Taoist practice, on purpose, since it is so easily mis-understood.

In 35+ years of exploring this ability, reviewing materials, and using my background in Taoism and the sciences to understand it. I have placed it in terms which can be acceptable to everyone. So hence I am now sharing it.

Many people naturally suppress this ability to prevent it from hurting them, to prevent others from making fun of them or labeling them as crazy.

It's time to begin helping others sort it out and in that find a greater sense of self peace.

The Third Eye is not some magical power, it's a part of our human nature which anyone with time, patience, training and acceptance of their nature can use.

Peace

Third eye is way more then seeing energy. It is your eyes to see the spirit world. The most important thing to remember is not focus on the thrid eye. It will cause headaches. The most important thing when developing your third eye is your foundaional centers: the lower dan tiam and snow mountain. the lower dan tiam is your immunity, vitality, and stamina. All excess energy can always be sent to the lower dan tiam and can never have too much energy. dev your dan will ground you in your practice. see golden light in your lower dan tiam and chant JOE the chinese number 9 will vibrate this soul house. The snow mountain is food for your kidneys and third eye. if you do not have a strong snow mountain then you will be drained and unable to function once your third eye is open. With a advanced third eye you will be able to see all the top saints, your heaven team, your akashic records, your own soul, and so much more. This is not just to see energy, but to see the spirit world. The higher your soul standing the more wisdom you can hear and see. Audible wisdom comes from the message center. The message center shoul be opened before the third eye is open. Check out Master Sha's new book Soul Wisdom. You will learn how to speak Soul Language, Soul Dance, SOul, Tap. All of his books contain ancient teachings tradionally only shared with one or two students. His generosity is hard to explain.

The third eye is many things, and depending on how you cultivate it, it will open up different paths for each person to explore.

As a Taoist Master I teach quite a bit about the third eye to a handful of more advance students. However, I don't use many of traditional terms in this blog since most of the readers would get confused at the entry level. Instead I bridge the gap with contemporary language to help people understand. Times change, language changes, in that we must change in how we present practices so people can find acceptance of their own capabilities in their own terms.

No "right" way exists to map the third eye. Instead it's a part of each person which is developed to compliment their life accordingly.

For many people, this means not to develop the third eye at all, since they are still learning how to live in their normal physical world.

It's important not to rush the third eye or the understanding of what it is either: since do to so, for more people than not, would be harmful. Only when "purified" or cleansed of many attachments should a person pursue this path.

I am careful in this teaching for this and many other reasons. In this blog I only present entry level information on purpose to help clarify the nature of the third eye in more modern terms.

The third eye is not discovered in writings, it's released in experience and use. Unless a person fully accepts their own life and their nature, they will never truly fully develop their third eye either.

I recently started to develop my third eye. In my experience, it has been to me a way of seeing things in the world that the human eye cannot see. I believe it is to be a guidance from God. It is seeing in the Spirit and not the flesh. It took me a while to figure it out. I had to do ALOT of energy healing and let go of some hurtful issues, and do some Chakra clearing and humming exercises and praying before it started to develop, but I believe it to be a Supernatural Gift from God. We could not have it without Him.

Hello all in search of the third eye of enlightment. I practice bagua and have made contact with chi and the movement as used in the physical body. There are very degrees of understanding and to not be inflection with primotial sounds to draw and build energy from with in the joint to run as fast a water to the surface is a very complex and draining if not done with proper breathing tech. As long a the intent of the action or purpose meet good priciples. Many super actions will become obvious. I hear a lot of experience and I respect the work done. I am much younger than a master or grand master, but the key has been presented for the good of all. I would be interested in talking to trully selfless practitioners that are working on health based systems and to mis understand the life energy is for life and not to take, but to trully feel and learn from as the mind tension becomes relaxed and a true enlightement becomes almost too odvious. If you have some time and an open mind for right, please email me back. I feel i have as many questions as I do answers and perhaps one will blend with my current revelations and we can reduce the worlds current neg energy and bring back the positive life force. Thanks Nathan I have found the base of all building and thought and it is too much for one or even many to understand. Perhaps this will be the awakening needed to bring power back to the people and let all manage there lifes with out the fear of poor leadership that is rampid destruction of the way of life. Oliviasmommaa@comcast.net If you are a hater please do not bother. Thanks and peace to all

I am curioos to see if the idea of the third eye fits with science. In recent years theere has been increased interest in a neurological condition called synesthesia. Synesthesia means 'joined sensation' and describes when a person percieves two senses simultaneously, i.e. if a person were to see colour when listening to music. Would experiences such as synesthesia relate to the thirde eye in anyway? I ask as I know for a fact that synesthesia is not mystical and trust what you have said that neither is the third eye.

(1) The third eye and science are not incompatible with each other. It's more than the current models which science uses... aren't not quite at the place to explain what the third eye is in acceptable scientific terms yet.

(2) we elevate mystic to be beyond what we know... in that sense yes the third eye can still be considered as mystic... but the third eye is a reality and people an and do access it. Now becuase it is without clear definition.. of course how people term it and describe it will blur the lines of definition. Thats ok.

(3)For some Synesthesia can play into how their third eye relays information back to them. But not all third eye events are necessarily a result of Synesthesia.

(4) I am not sure if science and the third eye will ever fully mesh with each other... since at one level using the third eye transcends into faith. Faith is the one place even science stops, by definition since faith is the point at which your models are off from reality and one must step beyond models of the larger universe and just accept connection at full potential. ( I am not sure if I used exactly the right words here, but most should get the feelings of what i am saying here)

Thanks for the question.



This is ok also.

Thnks for the response. I see what you're saying. for a person with synesthesia they may be more aware of the information intergration proccess than others. However, you can't totally say that the third eye is explainable by science as some of it requires faith, as you say on you;re homepage 'science is fact, religion is faith' while the third eye may not exactly relate to religion those two statements clearly show that fact and faith are different concepts.

Hello again,

I think I can better understand what the 3rd eye is now. I recently read a book about evidence for the 6th sense. While I am still a little skeptical about paranormal phenomona generally I can see how they would work, which I think is good because I feel I can be open minded. In this book it is suggested that the 3rd eye just like any other sense picks up on energy frequencies. Specific ones of course, such as potential futures and spiritual energy (ghosts). It explains precognition by the idea that time is actually one big mass rather than the past, present and future we like to divide it up into. That's all I have to say for now.
