Awakening the Third Eye

third eye in different places: each of them chooses a different
centre along the pipe, or even a structure of energy adjacent to
the tunnel, as a reference point.
Another important point to keep in mind is that the third eye is
not physical. The grossest part of the third eye is a structure of
energy belonging to the etheric body or layer of life force. The
etheric body has many connections with the physical body and
therefore the third eye, being the ‘main switch’ of the etheric
body, is also closely connected to certain structures of the physical
body, for instance the pituitary and pineal glands.
However it would be over-simplified to say that the third eye is
the pineal gland or the pituitary gland, as stated by certain books.
As explained before, the tunnel of the third eye is not physical. It
impacts its energy on a number of structures of the physical
body, including the frontal sinus, the optic nerves and their
chiasma, the nerves of the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone,
the pituitary and pineal glands, some of the nuclei at the centre of
the brain, the ventricles of the brain, and others. It would be far
too simplistic and limiting to pick one of these physical structures
and label it ‘third eye’. Once more the third eye is not physical, it
is an organ of energy. It may have some privileged connections
with certain physical structures, but it cannot be limited to any
of them.
