Conversations on the Third Eye… Jennifer Lynn up first

Looking Within

Third eye Schmird eye, what gives?  We’ve seen the jeweled dots worn between the eyebrows we even hear reference to the third eye in modern music but do we really get what its all about?  Do we know how to use it?  As I dug deep to answer these questions, I discovered some powerful stuff I want to share with you.  Let’s start with the truth about frontal lobotomies.  What!?  Yes, this barbaric surgery that cuts off access to the brain’s frontal lobe.  Psychiatric patients who were “hard to control” would be given frontal lobotomies as a “cure”.  What happened after surgery was they became intensely habituated doing the same thing over and over everyday and freaking out if anything changed.  Doctors thought the surgery was safe because the frontal lobe is an area of the brain with very little activity.  It has been an enigma to neuroscientists for years.  Why is this big section of brain behind the forehead so void of activity?   Well, as it turns out the ancients knew the answer.  The frontal lobe – third eye center – is the blank movie screen onto which we project our inner visions such that they can imprint in our tissue and call forth our future experiences.  Put more simply, the third eye is where we activate our imagination and come up with the brilliant ideas that make our life interesting and evolving.   This certainly explains the change in lobotomized patients.


So how do we use this third eye center?  We use it by being aware that we are inner-movie producers and the more intentional, clear and positive we are in our inner-movie script writing, the more joy, success, connection, and peace we will experience.  We are always creating this way.  No one gets away with it.  Its just that we tend to create by default.  That is, we react to what is around us and think only about what is and what was.  With these movies of the past replaying in our frontal lobe, we create sameness or stuckness in our lives.  It is only when we spend more time playing the movie of what would be wonderful that we feel the joy of forward motion, the power of intentionally directing our experience.  This is the schiggima-riggima of the third eye.  Even our modern song writers are getting this.  In their song “Make Believe”, the Burned sing these words, “We create the world we want to see outside, that’s the way we play the game of life, so make believe in miracles my friends.”
