research about third eye?

In the physical body the eye views objects upside down. It sends the image of what it observes to the brain which interprets the image and makes it appear right side-up to us.\n\nBut the human body has another physical eye whose function has long been recognized by humanity. It is called the 'Third Eye' which in reality is the Pineal Gland. It is long thought to have mystical powers. Many consider it the Spiritual Third Eye, our Inner Vision. \n\nIt is located in the geometric center of the brain. This correlates to the location of the Great Pyramid in the center of the physical planet.\n\nThe Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland which lies a little behind the root of the nose. It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle.\n\nThe true function of this mysterious gland has long been contemplated by philosophers and Spiritual Adepts. Ancient Greeks believed the pineal gland to be our connection to the Realms of Thought. Descartes called it the Seat of the Soul. This gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various biorhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland which directs the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock that determines our aging process.\n\nWhen the pineal gland awakens one feels a pressure at the base of the brain. This pressure will often be experienced when connecting to higher frequency. A head injury can also activate the Third Eye - Pineal Gland.\n\nWhile the physiological function of the pineal gland has been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools have long known this area in the middle of the brain to be the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds. Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy available to humans, the pineal gland has always been important in initiating supernatural powers. Development of psychic talents has been closely associated with this organ of higher vision.\n\nThere is a pathway from the retinas to the hypothalamus called the retinohypothalamic tract. It brings information about light and dark cycles to a region of the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus(SCN). From the SCN, nerve impulses travel via the pineal nerve (sympathetic nervous system) to the pineal gland. These impulses inhibit the production of melatonin. When these impulses stop (at night, when light no longer stimulates the hypothalamus), pineal inhibition ceases and melatonin is released. The pineal gland is therefore a photosensitive organ and an important timekeeper for the human body.\n\nRetinal research done with hamsters demonstrates another center for melatonin production. Located in the retina, this center implies that the eyes have their own built in circadian timepiece. This retinal system is distinct from the brains body clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Biologists found that they could throw the retinal rhythms out of sync with other circadian cycles. They also found that they could set and reset the retinal clock even when the SCN was destroyed.\n\nThe retinal clock produces (stimulates the production of?) melatonin. Researchers are now looking for the exact location (s) of this clock in the human eye (and expect to find it). No one yet knows what the separate clock is for or how it relates to the SCN. \n\nIn some lower vertebrates the Epiphysis Cerebri - Pineal Gland - has a well-developed eye-like structure; in others though not organized as an eye, if functions as a light receptor. In lower vertebrates, the pineal gland has an eye like structure and it functions as a light receptor and is considered by some to be the evolutionary forerunner of the modern eye.\n\nThe gland weighs little more than 0.1 gram. The gland is large in children and begins to shrink with the onset of puberty. It appears to play a major role in sexual developmen

You can't. You do not have a 3rd Eye unless you are a freak.

I think the "third eye" that you sometimes see on statues and images of the Buddha is not really directly from the teachings of Buddhism, but instead the result of a cultural mix originating in Hinduism.  \n\nIn many eastern traditions the third eye is an aperature through which you can see something beyond the senses.  It can also be an instrument of power.  It is part of Hindu tradition a belief that beings can build up energies in thier bodies that, through meditation, can be consolidated in the head.  Then a "third eye" will open and be some kind of energy or power source.  For example the god Siva meditates and eventually his third eye opens releasing a great destructive energy.\n\nBecause Buddha is seen as being a master of meditation and seeing the truths that exist but most of us cannot see, the third eye was added to his images by cultures influenced by Hinduism.\n\nAs I understand the basic teachings of Buddhism, there is no specific importance given to a third eye, but in Buddhist literature, there are many references to "waking up" and seeing things which are evident but that we choose not to see due to ignorance.  Sometimes the imagery of "waking up" or seeing things that others do not see is described as being a new pair of eyes or a third eye.  But I think this is more of a way to help people understand then a literal eye.

I don't know if your looking for info specifically on the visual hypersensitivity or just on autism in general. I would recommend contacting the connections center. Dr Gutstein has developed an amazing program. You can get more info at  rdiconnect.com\n\n\nAlso there was a link on the autism research institutes website. Dr Kaplan did some pretty interesting work.

Actually, there's a good article in this month's National Geographic that touches on these sorts of questions.  It's called "From Fins to Wings.'"  The relevant text starts on page 121, and starts with Charles Darwin's own acknowledgment of the enormity of explaining a system as complex as the human eye as a result of random mutation and natural selection.\n\nThe discussion goes on to indicate (page 126) that over time, a greater certainty has evolved that photoreceptors in all species are "the handiwork of the same genes that build our own eyes".\n\nIt goes on to say, "Evolution then used these basic genes to fashion more sophisticated eyes, which eventually acquired a lens for turning light into an image."\n\nThere's also a neat series of drawings at the bottom of pages 126-127 that gives an intuitive feel for the discussion.\n\nThere's much more at the link.

See if a local historian knows anything about it. They might know because, as I always say, "If there's on person interested in it then there must be another" since how the brain works and all that are very related and there are good possibilities that someone else has also heard of the case and would like more info just like you and it's probably the local historian.

hmm, there are lots of different options.\nI did a project on cancer radiation therapies with focus on the biological aspects of the efficacy of radiation (i.e. cell death).\nLast year i did a bionic eye presentation that had people who were blind from birth seeing black dots on a white field (but they didn't have depth perception).  It was fascinating - they had glasses hooked up to the patient and wires connected to a computer (worn on the belt) that further connected directly to the visual cortex of his brain via a cable "plugged" into his neck.\n\nWhat about nanotechnology for curing diseases in the blood?

Hi Maddy, I am taking a few moments this morning to reduce stress, pre-wedding jitters, not really nerves, just the usual worries of everything going correctly, as planned. lol \n\nSo, here I am anwering one of your great questions! ;-)  I too have often mused on how the blind or others who have lost a sense, manage to do things, normal everyday things those who have all five senses take for granted on a daily basis. I have mused on what it would be like to be blind. You see, one of my daughters had a knife put out her left eye when she was six. It was a horrific experiance for her and also her father and I. While she has not been completely blind sense birth, we have always been very worried, and sensitive of the worry she may lose sight in her one remaining eye. She was able to 'keep' her damaged eye, but she is basically 90% blind, only able to see shadows and blurred color in it. So, you can imagine this is something I have thought about a great deal. \n\nI read the answers you received when I first clicked here. Bonacua B is as close to an honest interpretation, or considered response than any other. Now, imagination does not require sight. They 'way' they imagine things will be different than those with sight, but they still will have dreams and imagination. Blind folks are as capable of those with sight of being able to be imaginative, innovative, creative and otherwise intuitive. They are in a unique position to provide an alternate view, which can be very impressive. When we are in a 'think tank' it is of best interest to implement as diverse a group as possible. When we keep the group diverse we are able to obtain a uniquely cohesive thought process which can produce great innovative and creative 'out of the box' thinking. This will enable the group to come up with a tremendously increased measure of ideas and concepts. When we place a group of non diverse members into a position of requiring innovative and creative ideas, they are limited to only simular processes as they all have the same abilities and therefor are limited. \n\nThe blind may not be able to see 'color' but color has more than a visual affect. Color is uniquely viewed by each individual with sight. Men and women see colors differently. There are scientific studies which demonstrate these differences between the sexes when it comes to seeing color. The blind are able to imagine colors by using verbal stimuli to create a visual concept. Colors also create emotions, blue is calming, red is stimulating, yellow is comforting, black can be either rage, or blankness, grey is dismal, etc. By utilizing all the elements of color the blind are able to concepulize these and form their own unique 'vision' of color. \n\nEmotions are very strong elements, and they are created from many differing sourses. When we are able to utilize all of our resourses we are then able to acheive our highest potentials. The blind are not any different in this as those who see. \n\nThose who are born blind do NOT increase other senses to 'compensate' for the lost sense. Studies have shown that the other senses which are seeminly increased, are available for the sighted to acheive those inhanced heighths. We ALL have the capasity to use our senses to a maximine capasite, the same as the blind, we just don't do it. When we are trained to use our senses to the highest levels we are able to acheive seeminly spiritual elements within our abilities to minipulate them. Most people just do not work on increasing their senses to the degree of their full capasity. The blind are trained to do so. So, it is not an ability to obtain any higher degree of use in remaining senses, above the ability of any seeing person, it is just they work at acheiving these 'high' degree of developed senses. \n\nI firmly believe the born blind are as able as any other to imagine and dream. The way this is manifested may be different, of course it

I was unaware that our third eye had anything to do with "Depth Perception"....\nIt is more like a cane for the sight-impared.\nHowever, in your case, I would turn her into an orc, or put her on the wrack for insolence.\n\nYour eye is all seeing, oh Lord of Darkness.\nUse the Pilantir... it will add a second dimention.

I had exactly the same experience you described in your post about four years ago. It was the one event that completely changed my life. Suddenly I realized that everything I did up to this point was meaningless. The next few years I started extensive research concerning these "black-triangle" UFOs and it turned out that there have been dozens of sightings just in the last years with all persons concerned describing the same black-triangular object. Upon further investigation it appears that all witnesses concerned suffer from the same post-triangular sighting problem; a mental state that is generally called the post-tri- trauma. Please be very cautious about your further activities I have seen many witnesses doing the "wrong" things and consequently having very difficult "experiences". The reasons for this phenomenon still seem unclear but if you look a little deeper into leading neurobiological research it looks like the magnetic fields of the black triangular "things" cause heavy disturbances in the Hippocampus (responsible for your long term memory) and the Gyrus Postcentralis (whose function is yet to be fully determined). Of course media coverage has been low but some leading scientists such as Libet and Gleason are at the moment looking at these phenomena. If you want more infos feel free to mail me and take care.
