The Third Eye

[JamAce]

What would you call it? a talent? a curse? a gift? this sixth sense. Anyway, as long as i don't have 'em, I'm good. Walking around among them wouldn't be that comfortable.

I was reading the newspaper ads one day..and there it was, a very small ad for a seminar that teaches you how to open your third eye. I'd like to go to one that teaches me how to keep the third eye closed. Hahaha!

If you had any sanity left, you'd keep that third eye shut. It's not cool to see these ghosts walking among us. I don't want to be bothered, and especially not by creepy-looking ghosts.

A gift (if you've got courage) and a curse (if you're feeble-minded). I am the latter so I'd rather not risk my sanity, as what cipher stated so candidly.

it is actually a physical part of the brain when this part of the brain is stimulated through mediation and spiritual practices it becomes more sensitive there are visual, auditory and kinesthetic senses that are registered within this area of the brain. due to its location behind the forehead the ability to register visual impressions in the mind it is termed the third eye.

The Third Eye, is called the Pineal Gland it is located dead center of the brain. In some reptiles the Pineal Gland actually has a cornia and a lense(not an eye doctor forgot the other one retina? Why it has these characteristics of an eyeball in the center of the brain beats me.

Undoubtedly!!!!! the third eye exists...It is actually a chakra point in the center of the forehead...and YES!!!!!!!! chakra points are 100% real, i know this because i personally experimented with meditation and it totally blew me away...ITS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!!! its like opening up another facet of the human being proving to me that the cliche statement "im only human" is absolutely wrong; or not so much wrong as we have NOOOOOO idea as to what a Human being is? MEDITATION is the key, its now up to UUU to open the door.

Relating to the question "Does this mean that ghosts or spirits walks among us?" there are no such things as ghosts.... SPIRITS that have moved on to a different Plane of Existence is the accurate description of what we refer to as ghosts and WE, US, HUMANS!!!! are also SPIRITS so its grossly inaccurate to think we are actually different from what we call ghosts.

it might be useful to think of ghosts as the memory of a spirit. an impression left in a particular place that has no conscious existence but is a spiritual remnant, like a shell or a skeleton of a conscious spiritual entity.

For those of you who say that they have a friend who sees ghosts and shadow people: This was all copied from Wikipedia, for more information go there:
The pineal gland (also called the pineal body, epiphysis cerebri, epiphysis or the "third eye") is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and photoperiodic (seasonal) functions.[1][2] It is shaped like a tiny pine cone (hence its name), and is located near to the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two rounded thalamic bodies join. Unlike much of the rest of the brain, the pineal gland is not isolated from the body by the blood-brain barrier system.
The pineal body consists in humans of a lobular parenchyma of pinealocytes surrounded by connective tissue spaces. The gland's surface is covered by a pial capsule.

Pinealocytes in many non-mammalian vertebrates have a strong resemblance to the photoreceptor cells of the eye. Some evolutionary biologists believe that the vertebrate pineal cells share a common evolutionary ancestor with retinal cells.

In some vertebrates, exposure of the pineal to light can directly set off a chain reaction of enzymatic events which regulate circadian rhythms.[8] Some early vertebrate fossil skulls have a pineal foramen (opening). This corroborates with the physiology of the modern "living fossils", the lamprey and the tuatara, and some other vertebrates which have a parietal organ or "third eye" which, in some of them, is photosensitive. The third eye represents evolution’s earlier approach to photoreception.[9] The structures of the third eye in the tuatara are homologous to the cornea, lens and retina, though the latter resembles that of an octopus rather than a vertebrate retina. The asymmetrical whole consists of the "eye" to the left and the pineal sac to the right. "In animals that have lost the parietal eye, including mammals, the pineal sac is retained and condensed into the form of the pineal gland.

Fossils seldom preserve soft anatomy. The brain of the Russian Melovatka bird, about 90 million years old, is an exception, and it shows a larger-than-expected parietal eye and pineal gland.
The secretory activity of the pineal gland has only relatively recently become understood. Historically, its location deep in the brain suggested to philosophers that it possessed particular importance. This combination led to its being a "mystery" gland with myth, superstition and metaphysical theories surrounding its perceived function.
René Descartes, who dedicated much time to the study of the pineal gland,[23] called it the "seat of the soul".[24] He believed that it was the point of connection between the intellect and the body.
