I'm afraid we don't have a third eye as such. The "third eye" is a photoreceptor and is part of the central nervous system. It is indeed very much developed in several lizards, many of which have a hole between their parietals (the lateral bones on the skull roof) so that this photoreceptor is able to detect light/dark levels. It's an important regulator of daily and seasonal behaviour. \nIn humans, it has become the epiphysis or pineal gland, and it's not on the surface of the brain anymore, but stuck between the hemispheres. It's an endocrine gland, also related to circadian (daily) rhythms (normal sleep cycle, etc). So if you suffer insomnia, you can blame it on your third eye.\nIn addition, a large number of supposed spiritual functions have been attributed to it. If you're interested in this "inner eye" theories, there are plenty of books and websites on the matter.

The Brain is the least understood part of human anatomy.  Considering this as a fact, and that the eyes (like all other parts of the body) are controlled by the brain, reality is all about perception of senses.  We as humans can be tricked into believing that things are three-dimensional, floating, transparent, or even close to us (how close are stars to earth?)....\n\nI guess you could contemplate anything as reality...so you could see nearly anything...or if you contemplate nothing you could see nothing.\n\n    This message is not really here...it's all perception.\n\nAre you reading this?

Meditation and Deep relaxation for starters. Ask questions however dont expect answers.\n\nAllow the universe to give you the answers. Take note of things, people conversations, signs, sounds, unexpected gifts and meetings of chance. All these 'signs' are from your guides (spirits). Once you see the sign, thank them. Dont think you are going crazy. They will guide you into making decisions and confirm your deepest doubts on issues, allowing you to finally trust your intuition.\n\nGod Bless

Depends who you ask. If you ask catholics they will tell you the mind makes the eye see, but if you ask an optometrist (eye doctor) they will tell you otherwise. Physiologically, we are born with eyes. The eyes develop as you mature. Different parts of the eye mature w/different speed and time. That is why babies, start out seeing everything in black and white, and they can't see 3D like adults can, with time the eye if it is developed properly in the womb will develop further, and the retina (the camera of your eye) will project the images to your mind. The mind then, with previous experiences, will interpret the image, as something is learned.  For example you as a child were told what an apple is, with your eyes closed you might not be able to tell its an apple or what color it is , for example without looking at it. You can tell however that it is an apple if you smell it (but then again, you're relying on your other senses to tell what it is).. So to answer your question, the eye makes the mind see. yes.

I recently started doing eye exercises to improve my vision. I am seeing some improvements, which is great encouragement to continue.\n\nI created a website and a blog so that people can follow my progress. Check it out...\n\nhttp://www.improvingmyeyesight.com/\n\nThere is also an article which talks about nutrition and eye care\nhttp://improvingmyeyesight.com/Nutrition_and_Eye_Health.html

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

If you're talking about getting one - you can't. A sixth sense comes naturally. If you already have it and what to know what to do with it, you can try posting a general question here. There might be others who are just as gifted. If not, there's always Google. Try googling stuff like: psychic, ghosts or something.\n\nI'm assuming you're talking about the "I can see dead people" sense right?

why not, do u dream with ur eyes open?\n\nPeople who are visually impaired from birth appear to lack visual imagery in their dreams. It's believed that the parts of their brains that register visual information remain dormant. \nAccording to this fascinating article by Diego Kaski in the International Medical Students' Journal, even people who lose their sight early in childhood retain visual imagery in their dreams well into adulthood. However, this imagery fades over time. \n\nNevertheless, blind people do dream and often describe their dreams in terms of places and surroundings. An article from the University of Santa Cruz notes that blind dreams feature a "very high percentage of gustatory, olfactory, and tactual sensory references," something very unusual for sighted dreamers to experience. \n\nFor some intriguing and descriptive quotes on the subject, read Richard Catlett Wilkerson's article "Dreams of the Blind."

Hi! It's best to try against a white wall or something white. It's important to remember not to try too hard. You don't want to focus intensely because remember, you're not using your human, physical eyes, you're using your spiritual 3rd eye. Lightly gaze several inches away from the surface of the person/thing and allow your eyes to go slightly out of focus. This takes practice but keep it up and you will achieve results! You can also practice with your hands. Have your middle and index fingertips on both hands, touching. This is a common position. Connect your thumbs as well, so you have formed a triangle with your thumbs and index fingers. Pretend that there's a dot in the center of that triangle. Focus lightly until you can see colors in the inside of the triangle. Good luck!

angle your mirrors so you can see things moving in your mirrors with your peripheral vision.  when you sense movement check it, when changing lanes or slowing down check it.  If you're driving long distances you don't want to stare at the road so keeping moving your eyes around.

The third eye is a metaphorical concept referring in part to the ajna (brow) chakra in certain Hindu spiritual traditions. In New Age spirituality, the third eye may alternately symbolize a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply-personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with visions, clairvoyance, precognition, and out-of-body experiences, and people who have developed the capacity to use their third eyes are sometimes known as seers.\n\n\nSymbolism\n\nIn Hinduism and Buddhism\n\nIn Hinduism and Buddhism, the third eye is a symbol of enlightenment (see moksha and nirvana). This is commonly denoted in Indian and East Asian iconography with a dot, eye or mark on the forehead of dieties or enlightened beings, such as Shiva (God of Destruction), the Buddha, or any number of yogis, sages and bodhisattvas. This symbol is called the "Third Eye" or "Eye of Wisdom", or, in Buddhism, the urna. In Hinduism, it is believed that the opening of Shiva's third eye is the end of the universe.\n\nMany Hindus wear a tilak between the eyebrows to represent the third eye.\n\n\nIn The Nation of Gods and Earths\n\nIn this movement, Clarence 13X has proposed that the mind is a third eye.\n\n\nIn Surat Shabda Yoga\n\nIn Surat Shabda Yoga, initiation by an Outer Living Satguru (Sat - true, Guru - teacher) is required and involves reconnecting soul to the Shabda (the Audible Life Stream) and stationing the Inner Shabda Master (the Radiant Form of the Master) at the third eye (tisra til) chakra.\n\n\nElsewhere\n\nThe third eye is used in many arts, such as in yoga, in Chinese martial arts like Kung Fu (with Ch'an training, the religion of Shaolin), and in Japanese martial arts like Karate and Aikido (both use Zen Buddhism as a philosophy).\n\n\nTechnique\n\nIn Taoism and some Chinese martial arts, "third eye training" involves focussing attention on the point between the eyebrows with the eyes closed in various qigong postures. The goal is at first to be able to fix one's attention while other physiological changes are happening in the body. Eventually, this training is designed to allow one to keep one's attention properly on the opponent or opponents in a physical confrontation. Students who undertake such training often report experiencing feelings of pressure, pulsing, tingling and other sensations between the eyebrows and around the forehead area.\n\nIn theory, the third eye, also called mind's eye, is situated right between the 2 eyes, and expands up to the middle of the forehead when opened. It is one of the main chakras (the third eye is in fact a part of the main meridian, the line separating the left and right hemispheres of the body). This chakra point can easily be stimulated by approaching something to it, whether by a finger or an object, or just by pressing the tongue on the upper palette of the mouth just over the 2 middle teeth, with the eyes well opened. Using proper breathing technique, whether from yoga, zen or any other kind of meditation, to make the ki (c'hi) flow through it is the most efficient way to feel it. The third eye allows to feel the vibrations (or just to feel the presence) of anything that is alive around the person. Some talk about very experienced people use it for different purpose, but they then have to go to higher levels of energy than ki (c'hi).\n\nSome claim that the chakras can be opened via chakra gemstones, and that to open the third eye requires an amethyst that has been cleaned under flowing water before use.\n\n\nPhysical basis: the pineal gland?\n\nSome, including Rick Strassman, have suggested that the third eye is in fact the partially dormant pineal gland, which resides between the two hemispheres of the brain. This concept is supported by the pinealocytes, one of the cells within the pineal gland, having a strong resemblance to the photoreceptors of the eye. Additionally

Hi! Glad you're interested!You open your 3rd eye carefully and at your own pace!Crystals are a wonderful tool as is color therapy (use the color range indigo-purple;exact color is individual),aromatherapy (tea tree,clay sage and lavender),heat,massage (gently and in a circular motion; counterclockwise i.e. top,left.bottom,right,top).Most importantly though,go at your own pace,never abuse your "tools" and don't have any expectations.                                                                                                                     \n\n\nAs the vibrational frequency your chakra speeds up,you may or may not experience:heat,dizziness,spaciness,headaches,vision changes,strange dreams,out of body experiences,visions,clairvoyance (clear-seeing).If you think you're ready for this step-you are (mentally and maybe psychologically).You'll have lots of support through these changes.Remember,you are an individual and your experiences may be very different from anybody else.If you experience headaches and/or you get bloody noses,your chakra is speeding up too quickly.You can apply a cold washcloth to your forehead.Best of luck to you and if you have further questions or need support, please don't hesitate to email me.                                                                         \n\n\nAs I reflected on the info I provided you with, Spirit provided me with some wisdom I need to share with you and anyone else wanting to open their chakras.This isn't a simple notion and shouldn't be a passing fancy.You're shifting your state of being and that takes discipline.When you open your chakras (rather increase their vibrational frequency; technically speaking)you will experience changes on all levels.Each chakra spins at a different frequency and imbalance can occure very easily if the various parts of you aren't ready.If you're opening your 3rd eye but your sacral chakra is out of balance,think of how that will affect your system.\n\nOne must strive for equal balance in the chakras and what Spirit wishes you to know is that, if your 3rd eye is active-great but to achieve the optimum shift, one must first open the root chakra (the first one, located at the tailbone), then after your 1rst chakra issues are dealt with, open your 2nd chakra.Forget not, that it is a system...the etheric/astral system and to try and seperate one chakra from another is similar to excluding all life on Mother Earth except human form.To work with the chakric system is to work with wholeness.If you want to fine-tune your 3rd eye-wonderful!..but please don't neglect your other chakras.

i have both talents as well. my third eye ability is a lot stronger as of right now. i don't know how i got it, it's always been there but the older i got the stronger they got, so i'm working on developing them. it sounds as though your friend is well-attuned to the spiritual world. some people choose not to believe it or mock it, but that happens with anything that's hard to explain. \n\nps-whether it has anything to do with god or not is up to the individual. some christians etc consider it to be a gift from god. those with different beliefs see it as something from whomever they worship. and still others believe it's just a part of the brain's ability scientists have yet to discover.\n\nThe third eye is a metaphysical and esoteric concept referring in part to the ajna (brow) chakra in certain eastern and western spiritual traditions. In New Age spirituality, the third eye may alternately symbolize a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply-personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with visions, clairvoyance, precognition, and out-of-body experiences, and people who have developed the capacity to use their third eyes are sometimes known as seers.\n\nExtra-sensory perception, or ESP, is the ability to acquire information by means other than the known senses of taste, sight, touch, smell, hearing, balance and proprioception. The term implies sources of information unknown to science. Extra-sensory perception is also sometimes referred to as a sixth sense (as in coming after the first five listed, which are considered the five "classical" senses). The active agent through which the mind is able to receive ESP impressions has been named psi (Ψ, ψ).

yeah the brown eye would actually be the third eye.  maybe tool needs a laxative?  why did he not say prying open my mind if he meant his forehead.  Cumon, he clearly meant his brown eye.  He talks about a bed pan in one.  He is obsessed with his third eye/brown eye.  \nlets start a fund to get him some prunes!
