The third eye is a center of consciousness and of our higher identity.

The third eye is a center of consciousness and of our higher identity. It is also the center from which we perceive the outer world, and as such, it is a bridge between the outer and inner worlds. As shown in the illustrations of Shiva, it is located above the eyebrows in the center of the forehead. One does not awaken the third eye by concentrating on this location or by doing any other esoteric exercises, but by turning the attention of consciousness back upon itself and meeting the essence of one’s very subjectivity beyond the mind and the observer. We need to get in touch with ‘who’ is located in the third eye, rather than wasting time concentrating there. So how does one see the world through the eyes of Shiva? It is said that when Shiva opens his third eye, the whole world is destroyed. What this means is that the world of illusion and ignorance is destroyed, and it is replaced with the real world. Seeing the world through the eyes of Shiva is to see the real world of pure subjectivity, where even the relativity of manifested appearances is embraced by universal consciousness. Shiva is also referred as Tryambaka for the third eye. It is the eye of wisdom, free from “Maya”, the illusion, and duality of life. It looks beyond the obvious with clear perception, and shows one what is true. Lord Shiva’s third eye is famous for emitting flames that destroy evil. It is believed that Shiva has only opened the third eye in extreme cases, when there no more space for forgiveness was left and no question of granting another chance. It was his third eye, which gave him the name of the destroyer, for when the eye opened, it destroyed the person who befell for the vision.! 👁🙏🏻🕉📿🌀👁
