It's the awakening of the consciousness, the awareness of the internal and the discerning of the external. I had once met a person who said that his Third Eye had opened and that he could perceive the world with full awareness. He could also see creatures from different planes or dimensions (it sounded scary). It enables him to have a clear insight into one's life and beyond. It was like seeing everything through the naked eye without any rose tinted shades. Such naked revelations are very difficult and hard to accept, at most times.
I have a strange fascination for Lord Shiva since my childhood days. The mysticism attached to his persona (I accept him more as human, then a God) draws me more towards Him.
Present:
In the middle Himalayan ranges, Macleodganj is a small little town that is home to many tourists and has been my abode for the past two days. As I sit in one of the wonderful home-stays, nestled in the heart of towering ranges, the songs of wild birds resonating from all around, I think of Shiva and my Third Eye. I feel as if my inner i or my soul eye has awakened and is trying to soak in the universal energy that is all encompassing.The Universe which is vibrant with energy can be sensed more in such wilderness ...
For me opening of the all seeing Third Eye, is the stimulation of our senses to perceive and draw the universal energy inward. When the Third Eye opens, our Minds opens -it starts receiving the vibrations that is all around us and our awareness to the external is heightened.
