Awakening the Third Eye

(Barré) #1

method can be very powerful, even though it does not necessarily
suit everybody: the constant repetition of a sequence of sounds is
but one way among many.
The problem is to find one method that fits your energy, and to
stick to it. I suggest that you ask yourself the question: what is
my magic wand, meaning what device am I using to remain aware
all the time? And does it work? If you care for your spiritual
development, then this question is vital. As long as the answer to
the second question remains no, you are not even a candidate for
higher states of consciousness and for initiation.
Note that the technique that is right for you is not always the one
you like in the beginning. Success in spiritual practice comes from
persisting. If you study the lives of enlightened masters, you will
find that quite often when they started their path, they did not
understand anything of what they were doing. The technique they
had been given, the one through which they were going to reach
enlightenment later on, seemed to them arid, unproductive and
foreign. So why did they become masters while many others got
nowhere? They persisted, persisted, persisted... to the point where
this persistence became more important than the technique itself,
and ended up leading to a phenomenal breakthrough.
In the Clairvision path of inner alchemy, the first of the magic
wands is to establish permanent awareness in the eye. If you can
look at an object and at the same time remain aware of the
vibration between the eyebrows, then you can also walk, for
instance, with the same awareness. Why don't you give it a try,
right now (another of our mottos). Leave your book for one
minute and walk around, with a total awareness of the vibration
between the eyebrows.
So, this is a first extension of your spiritual quest into your daily
activities. Now, each time you walk, you can be a seeker. You can
either wander without any awareness, swallowed by your
thoughts, or you can be totally in the vibration between the
eyebrows.
Driving is another activity that you will find easy to marry with
your awareness in the eye. Driving from the eye is harmonious
and immensely satisfying for the soul. The focus keeps you aware
and centred, and you can drive for longer periods of time with
less tension and less fatigue. Moreover, you remain vigilant and
your angle of vision is wider, which improves the safety of your
