Fig. 26

Symbol of the Brow chakra

The sixth chakra is the entrance to God's kingdom. It is the source of the divine benevolence in an individual who has gained Self-Realization - and it is responsible for the physical sight, mental sight and the super-natural clairvoyance. With the gift of sight, we are able to see the beauty of creation, and we better keep that gift carefully, for all our life. Our eyes express our integrity, the integrity of our bodies and soul. When the chakra functions properly our eyes are healthy. The eyes radiates love, they are the soul's windows. It is possible to heal with the eyes and to bring forth happiness. When the chakra is fully active, the individual sees the energy fields, he can see the future or the past, and there is no gap between dream and reality - visualization and dream turn into reality. With spiritual power, one is able to build a new reality on a physical level. An individual that did develop the Third Eye is a very special individual, who lives his life beyond the materialistic objectives. The conscious and the subconscious awareness unite within him. In the Heart chakra and in the Third eye, the personality unites with the soul. The human being becomes a witness to

execution of the soul's wish, and what should motivate us are the soul's wishes and not the personality's (the ego) desires.

When the chakra is fully developed, it inspires intuition, imagination, spiritual insight and the individual has the internal knowledge and contact with the soul. One's perception changes, not only through the left hemisphere of the brain but also through the right one, which enables total perception. The integration of the two hemispheres facilitates the conjunction between self-consciousness and sub-self-consciousness, uniting intellect, which is mainly a trait of the left hemisphere and intuition, which is a trait of the right hemisphere. The chakra develops when the activity of the two hemispheres of the brain is coordinated, thus overcoming and balancing the differences between intuition and intellect. The problem is in the difficulty with which each part of the brain understands the other part. A scientist, who works with his intellect, may get into difficulties in trying to understand the mystic, who works with the right hemisphere. The energy is the same mental energy in its essence, but it serves them in a different way to perceive reality. If a scientist uses predominantly the left hemisphere and the mystic uses only the right hemisphere, they will perceive only half of the reality, and will be using only half of the brain potential. Many of the scientific breakthroughs were created in a burst of intuition. Perhaps integration of the two hemispheres is a trait of geniuses. The integration of the two brain parts occurs during relaxation, while the brain emits alpha waves. That state allows the brain to draw data from the sub-conscious storage and to receive information from the world beyond, from every place in the universe. In such a way, Einstein and other scientist reached their discoveries. It is rather important to understand that such information is available only to those who are capable to comprehend it.

The Third Eye chakra is responsible for telepathic activity, although there are people who can enter in synchronization with other people brains by other chakras. This center symbolizes the individual's real self, or the inner human being - the Higher Self.

The pituitary is the gland through which the Third eye expresses itself in the physical body. The pituitary is located behind the eyebrows, right in their middle. It is the gland that controls and supervises all the rest of the glands, as if it was the conductor of the gland orchestra. The chakra

influences both the autonomic nervous system and the voluntary nervous system. Through the pineal gland - the gland of spiritual perception connected to the Crown chakra, the individual is able to perceive the divine program. Through the pituitary, the individual is able to construct forms in an imaginative world, and to transfer these forms to the physical world. In this center, opposites are balanced and the result is the unification of poles. It is an intellectual center that concentrates the polarized energy of the two currents - that of the sun - the Yang, Pingala, and that of the moon - the Yin, Ida. As these currents unite, they ascend upwards. When the connection between the Throat chakra and the Third eye is strong, the individual is able to create and express the aspiration of one's soul and the wish of God conjointly at the same time. Only if there is a working connection between the sixth and seventh chakras, the Third eye will develop. Then, one has a developed sense of intuition, super-natural vision, wisdom, telepathic capability, internal bliss and experiences of cosmic consciousness. Thus, we reach Self-realization - the integration of the soul with the personality. In fact, there are two separate chakras: the Brow chakra is located between the eyebrows and the Third eye is located at the middle of the forehead.

The soul's real dwelling is in the higher spheres, where space and time do not exist. The integration between time and space is affected by the Third eye. If the chakra does not function properly - the individual may decline to receive spiritual knowledge, for he does not have the proof. He believes merely the revelations to the physical eye, and he tries to rule others through his intellect. He may suffer from faulty health particularly in the organs near the chakra, as the ears, eyes, sinuses and he may suffer from headaches. If the chakra is developed, he is always the right person in the right place, at the right time - for he is blessed with intuition and proper judgment as well.

Pleasant and harmonic music influences positively the chakra - as well as meditation, praying and singing. In order to develop the chakra, it is recommended to concentrate for some time at the center between the eyebrows. Every exercise that helps the integration of the hemispheres of the brain positively influences the chakra. Staring at the sky, or at the stars, purifies the chakra. It is recommended, as well, to watch the water reflections of the moon or sun on a lake or on the sea. It

future. He had recommended to the Queen Catherine de Medici to watch moon reflections in a lake, for the development of super natural vision. By massaging the forehead, beyond and over the ear and relaxing, we influence positively the chakra. A very special lens from a subtle matter in the aura is needed to be built for the Third eye - in front of the forehead. By watching a crystal ball and the Third eye of other people, the chakra is developed. It is recommended to feel the Third eye, how it turns around - or to feel how a child's toy - a top whirls round instead, or a flickering strong light pulsates. I feel it when I pass from light to darkness - or from darkness to light - particularly in darkness, the light flickers rapidly in the chakra. Indians claim that if we exhale the air with force and express loudly the mantra "Om" or one of the vowels A-E-I-O-U, the air movement thus created pressures the palate and energizes the pituitary, which is above the palate.

Another form of developing the chakra is by meditation on the chakra's symbol. We concentrate on the chakra's symbol or on a certain part in the chakra's symbol and we realize how it does influence us. The chakra's color is indigo, which strengthens the spiritual dimension. It is the color that brings serenity. The chakra's crystal is the Lapis Lazuli, which is the symbol of truth. The priests in Egypt used that stone to train their pupils develop inner insight, and to be able to receive universal knowledge. That is why this jewel was appreciated as a very precious stone - a stone that develop the intuitive sense and enables the ascension to a higher consciousness. Peppermint oil causes a clear thought and alertness, as well as jasmine oil. The Sodalite and Sapphire precious stones are in a resonance with the chakra - which develops rapidly, when the human being's will is subjected to the divine will. The cello and viola induce a calming effect on the brain and the chakra.
