The 'third eye' acts like a line filter with the following transmission characteristics: rejection of reason, transmission of everything else.

Are not those awful things due to man's inhumanity to man?
Are there not wonderful things for the decent person to look forward to?
Work on that.
Try selling goodness instead of revenge as a core of Islam.

The third eye (brow chakra) is just another organ like the physical eyes.
Someone using it could be a spiritual person,(moral, evolved, holy) or they could be entirely unevolved, materialistic and selfish. It would depend on that how they would use or abuse psychic development.

That comparison never seems to actually work out like that .....

Except of course, this 'third eye' can not be shown to exist.

Nobody else has been able to do it. I am still trying to prove it to myself.

You could try the exercises to open it yourself, as if it is true then anyone can potentially do it.

You are not likely to ever be able to demonstrate the claimed existence of a so called spirit world.

Why would you claim to want to proof the claimed existence of a so called spirit world to yourself?
You already believe it.

How would I know if I succeeded? What would I be able to perceive/know/experience if I succeeded that I would not be able to delude myself I was perceiving/knowing/experiencing if there was no such thing as a third eye?

You're asking me to open something which can not be shown to exist?

As far as I am concerned the core of Islam is the lies of Muhammad, who made it all up to scare Arabs of his day into fighting for him. This means the Quran is not the words of God, and it should therefore be undermined.

How? What would he perceive/know/experience if he succeeded that he would not be able to convince himself he was perceiving/knowing/experiencing if there was no such thing as a third eye?

[Donn]

Setting aside the pineal gland third eye notions, you said it's a psychic energy channel - this implies that it has connection to psychic powers, so my question stands: If the 3rd eye is connected to psychic power, and psychics are connected to the spiritual plane, then is the 3rd eye also spiritual?

.
None of the books of the 3 major Abrahamic religions are the "words of god", there being no such thing.
ALL of them are intended to keep the faithful under the control of the clergy.
And that they do very well.
Even our Supreme Court justices, who should be the most critical of people, are ensnared in the religions they learned at Mommy's knee.
Read what "god" told Joshua to do when the Hebrews invaded the land of Canaan. Barbarism to the extreme! (that story, as is all the others in those books is fiction.)
Extreme hatred for the other guy is nothing unique about any religion.
.
But the potential for diminishing the awful nature of religions is in the religions, if it is emphasized properly.
Do that.

After meditation I opened my Third Eye , It told me: "I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend, You could cut ties to all the lies you've been living in and if you do not want to see me again I would understand...."

Actually, no god has ever been shown to exist, which already justifies your first conclusion.

You appear to position yourself somewhat as a fundamentalist security liability, are you prepared to perpetrate violence to force your views onto other people?

Unfortunately, this 'third eye' itself is invisible. Can't help you.

Now, now, do we really want to get involved in psychic warfare with Scorpion?

I do. I blast you with my evil spirit reiki fireball +3 Scorpion. What have you got to counter me?

I have never been able to open my third eye up to now, but I have decided to have another go at it. I do not know what happens if you succeed, but I imagine you would become a clairvoyant, able to see into the spirit world and get evidence from the spirits yourself. It may be possible to be self deluded and have hallucinations that are not true visions, but maybe succeeding in opening the third eye would bring evidence that was confirmable.

[thaiboxerken]

I think to open your third eye you need more XP and then roll a save vs psychic corruption. A natural 20 will do.

No, its just an organ.

Don't answer this Scorpion, for it is, of course, a trick question.

If your instructions for opening the third eye actually lead Pixel to a real spiritual experience then you are responsible for their delayed evolution in the spirit world. Can't have that!

Actually, there is a serious answer to that joke question, which is I would pray for you. That would create a shell of light around me, strengthening my aura.

An organ that channels psychic energy, right?

The Third Eye

In November 1956 a book called The Third Eye was published in the United Kingdom. It was written by a man named as Tuesday Lobsang Rampa, and it purported to relate his experiences while growing up in Chakpori Lamasery[1] Chokpori, Tibet after being sent there at the age of seven. The title of the book is derived from an operation, similar to trepanation, that Rampa claimed he had undergone, in which a small hole was drilled into his forehead to arouse the third eye and enhance powers of clairvoyance. The book describes the operation as follows:

The instrument penetrated the bone. A very hard, clean sliver of wood had been treated by fire and herbs and was slid down so that it just entered the hole in my head. I felt a stinging, tickling sensation apparently in the bridge of my nose. It subsided and I became aware of subtle scents which I could not identify. Suddenly there was a blinding flash. For a moment the pain was intense. It diminished, died and was replaced by spirals of colour. As the projecting sliver was being bound into place so that it could not move, the Lama Mingyar Dondup turned to me and said:" You are now one of us, Lobsang. For the rest of your life you will see people as they are and not as they pretend to be."

During the story, Rampa sees yetis and eventually encounters a mummified body of himself from an earlier incarnation. He also takes part in an initiation ceremony in which he learns that during its early history the Earth was struck by another planet, causing Tibet to become the mountain kingdom that it is today.

I read the book in 1968, never got the third eye opened.

Would that be a force field with 100 HP's? I can take that down with my iron fist technique.

The praying itself is irrelevant, it's about the stated prayer intent. Nothing else.

Not at all, in fact I am trying to guide people to study the core teachings of spiritualism. Such as the teachings of Silver Birch, which teaches that humanity is one family of souls, and we are all divine.

It's not about whether the lights on the outside are on, but whether the lights on the inside are on.

I read the early books of Lobsang Rampa while I was at art college in 1969
I got as far as the book about cat legends, in which cats are supposed to talk, and that finished me. I threw the books away.

You're not exactly very convincing.

The key to opening the third eye is to close the mind.

What sort of evidence would that be? How would it be confirmed?

Remember that the evidence you've described so far (e.g. being told the name of your deceased baby brother) could have been obtained in other ways than via the spirit world, or even just luckily guessed. What would be the best way to eliminate such explanations?

And yet, you believe in a spirit world and third eyes etc.

We are not talking about getting a message through a medium, we are talking about opening ourselves to the spirit world directly. So I guess we would have to work out for ourselves if the information that we received was true or false. I would suggest that the application of logic to any perceptions would be a good thing that might avoid self delusion.
