The third eye chakra (Ajna chakra in Sanskrit) is the sixth of the seven main energy centers in the body, and its functionality can profoundly affect psychological and mental health and, as a result, physical health. Ajna is essentially a portal between the physical world perceived by the senses and the “spiritual” world of other dimensions perceived supersensibly. It allows us to see behind the curtain, beyond what our senses, our physical eyes see.
The Ajna Chakra is located between the eyebrows, above the nose in the middle of the forehead. Its color is indigo (a mixture of the deepest blue and violet) and its symbol is an inverted triangle in a circle and a lotus flower. Ajna is connected to the pineal gland, which is an endocrine gland that produces the hormone melatonin and DMT, which contains, for example, ayahuasca or LSD.
It’s possible that as you progress in your spiritual journey, you may begin to perceive triangles through your third eye, which could signify an active process occurring within that area. Another sign can be vibrations; it feels like pressure, twisting, as if someone is pressing on your third eye in a circular motion, or gently drilling into it. An open sixth chakra is also a manifestation of vivid dreams, astral travel to other dimensions, seeing various phenomena, movies, mental images, visualization at a distance, seeing fantastic scenes and extremely vivid colors with closed eyes or even with open eyes, seeing them parallel to the normal sight.
The degree of opening of the third eye is given to people in different degrees for certain reasons. Someone has their third eye closed and perceives the physical world mainly through the senses. For some people, the third eye opens spontaneously and they begin to see much more through it than before, and this can be a helpful manifestation of their Spirit, which will show it to them as part of the knowledge on the path of their spiritual evolution. Or it can be part of the genetic setting, related to the mission of the soul to obtain in this way helpful, useful information for itself and to help other people. At the same time, it can also be a karmic consequence of situations and events from past lives in which people used clairvoyant perception in disagreement with their Spirit, with their primordial mission.
It can happen that someone has a too open third eye. The sixth chakra is hyperactive and this can be manifested by various physical problems, vision problems, headaches, insomnia, or sleep disorders. Non-physical symptoms of overactivity in the third eye chakra can include difficulty concentrating, anxiety, depression, mental fog, paranoia. In extreme cases, it can be hallucinations, disorientation, or amazement with a diffuse, intense perception of existence in another reality. This can cause a lot of psychological difficulties. When the Ajna energy center is in full swing, you may feel lost in an endless stream of phantasmagorical visions, or bombarded with meaningless mental information without knowing what it means or what its purpose is. An overactive third eye can knock you off your feet and completely change how you experience life. Being too immersed in the world of fantasy can result in losing your contact with reality, being overly anxious or afraid of the phantasmagorical visions that pass before your mind’s eye, and the inability to distinguish between reality, dreams, and imagination.
Trying to open your third eye by force can pose significant risks, as in more extreme cases it can lead to mental disorders, paranoia, and schizophrenia. There are many techniques and options for opening your third eye; the motivations are often different. It can be a desire to know the mysterious world of higher dimensions, or a strong desire for excellence and to acquire undeserved extraordinary abilities that you would not be entitled to with normal abilities.
When you manage to open your third eye and achieve what you wanted, it is usually not of much use, because if you can’t properly explain the meaning of many phenomena obtained by the third eye and you don’t understand them, then it is basically of no use to you. As a result, you see only a fascinating, interesting film of “hallucinogenic” scenes. One can become intoxicated with them and acquire a false sense of their exceptional spiritual maturity, and this is the intention of the Ego.
„Stranger, you are a simple fool, or come from far off, when you tell me to avoid the wrath of the gods or fear them. The Cyclopes do not concern themselves with Zeus of the aegis, nor any of the rest of the blessed gods, since we are far better than they“ — Cyclops in Homer’s The Odyssey
Closed Ajna may be compared to the Cyclops‘ Eye from Homer’s famous epos Odyssey. Not only did the shepherd Polyphemus have only one eye, but even this one was pierced by Odysseus and thus the Cyclops remained fully blind. Closed Ajna is the result of a person’s faulty actions and his refusal to process his karmic debts. As a result, the Spirit moved away from the consciousness of a person. The freed space was used by the Entities, who replaced the Spirit and sealed the third eye even more. It was in their interest, because a person who sees nothing more than with his senses becomes their obedient slave and executor of their orders. Such a person is then dependent on sensory stimuli and has nothing from spiritual perceptions. Even if he manages to open his third eye after some effort, it is of little use to him, because he cannot explain the perceived phenomena truthfully enough. He does not have the intuition of the Spirit available for this.
For dark entities, an open third eye is an attraction, because they will probably want to connect to it, poison the soul, and spoil the desired effect of the information obtained by the third eye. Visions mediated by the third eye are also neon advertising, a lure that lures potential customers to an astral-mental Las Vegas, where people can lose a lot and where they can lose themselves. It is a detour from the spiritual path that leads them to the dead end of a false spiritual path.
The force that transforms such excessive desire into actions leading to the violent opening of the third eye can be the Ego. The dark entities of the Matrix, archons connected with astral beings, are most likely behind the Ego. Their intention is to drive a person into unfavorable conditions and psychological suffering, with the aim of tapping into the human soul, controlling its consciousness, and draining the person of the energy of grace and possibly possessing him. The intention of the Dark Side is to lure people away from the spiritual path; it is their effort to connect and stay connected so that they can connect to a person in the same way in the following lives. However, for the human soul, it can also be a result of her own past deeds, because sometime long ago she may have opened her third eye in order to deal with, for example, magic. Such deeds then become the trigger for the ever-turning wheel of karma; a person is repeatedly driven into similar situations generating problematic lives and psychological suffering.
