All About the Third Eye

The pineal gland, acting as a subtle sense organ, can be used in many powerful ways. It opens our awareness to the patterns around us. Seers use it to make connections and find answers. Energy workers use it to feel and manipulate energy fields.

It also plays a role in empathy—helping individuals sense and feel the emotions of others. Many other practical applications of the Third Eye exist. It is entirely possible to use the Third Eye to sense and visually interpret the energy surrounding us.

This ability helps individuals engage more deeply with Motion, Activity, and Interchange. Instead of being an abstract concept, energy becomes a tangible aspect of life—something we can learn to sense and interact with.

Some Facts About the Third Eye:

  • Location:
    At the base of the skull, at the medulla oblongata. At the front of the head, it’s located between the eyebrows.
  • Color:
    Indigo – a combination of blue and red.
  • Tone:
    OM
    (O represents the Sun or the Third Eye. M represents the Moon or the medulla.)
  • Element:
    Electrical or telepathic energy.
  • Sense:
    Thought.

Energy Imbalances

  • Deficient Energy:
    Non-assertive, undisciplined, overly sensitive to the emotions of others, fear of success, confusion between the Ego self and the Higher self (can be linked to schizophrenic tendencies).
  • Excessive Energy:
    Egomania, pride, manipulation, religious dogmatism, authoritarian behavior.
  • Balanced Energy:
    Charismatic, guided by inner wisdom, detached from materialism, fearless of death, self-mastery, and complete within oneself without needing another to feel whole.

The Third Eye does not function while the physical eyes are fully active—it only sees when the physical eyes become “unseeing.” It needs energy to activate, and this energy must be consciously redirected.

This region of the head acts as a receiver for psychic information and dream signals. It serves as a mechanism to alert the conscious mind to subtle realities. The Pineal Gland is the center of this perception.

When we look through our physical eyes, we perceive the physical world. The Third Eye, however, is part of the subtle body, not the physical body. This is why conventional physiology often denies its existence.

Once activated, this inner vision opens the doorway to another dimension—allowing us to perceive what is invisible to the physical eye but visible to the subtle eye.
