I have a another one: false evidence appearing real. Also fits better into this thread. |
|
sorry if i wasnt clear, i thought other people were doing that to you. doesnt matter anyway. it just seemed the thread has gone along way without anyone offering any kind of practical advice on pineal opening. i can have a look for some old pdf files and links for you. give us a minute |
|
I can only speak from experience, I opened mine while high. For long I had been experience "tingling sensations" between mye eyebrows, just by placing focus there. So I started to meditate, and started feeling a flow. Sometimes I would meditate, and just have a "delightful" pulse filling me with energy. |

Yes, that reminds me - there used to be some interesting PDFs called the suneye method. I am sure google knows where they are... |

thanks frozenlime (mmmmmm) great response. so was that just high on a smoke? its things that you mention like the pains and i get dizzy sensations, that make me think that there are certain factors in place which will naturally stop you going too far before you are ready. thats why i dont think there is too much harm can be done from such practices unless you try to force it. i think ive been more grounded lately but its hard to tell. the questions in my original post were not rhetorical, i really am curious to know what people think can happen, positive and negative. aswell as the higher meditations, are there any threads round here with good grounding tips? |
|
ive not read it all myself, but apparently this file Awakening-The-Third-Eye.pdf by samuel sagan has some great info |

One method that will make your third eye open really fast, is to keep attention on your breath 24/7. There are many ways to go about doing this, but the easiest way is to count your breaths, so you notice when you lose attention the moment you lose count. It's not easy to talk to people and count your breahts at the same time, but is possible nonetheless. This advantage of this method is that you can do it anytime, anywhere. |

Hmm, interesting stuff ChaybaChayba. Though that tantric sex thing is... weird. xD But yeah, you have a point. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. I ended up reading some of the pdf whiterain mentioned last night, and it was very interesting. That author also makes connections between sexuality and the third eye. Anyways... I did one of the exercises right before bed and I did feel a couple of sensations, but it was a better relaxation technique than anything else. Not that that's a bad thing! I always seem to gloss over relaxation techniques, but every time I do one I think, "This is nice, I should do this more often." |

You guys are talking about opening a pineal gland. What the hell are you talking about? Open a gland? You are confusing a gland with a chakra. Do you know what it means to open a chakra? What are you trying to achieve? What do you expect to happen to you when you "open" your pineal gland? Are you planning on having some kind of experience? |
|
Im pretty sure that no one here wants to end up like Tesla! However that doesnt mean that people do not want to reach "supreme consciousness". What you wish to do with it once you reach that mind state is up to you! You can use it for good or evil, you can take the Einstein route or you can take the Hitler route. There is nothing that is stopping you from being as smart as Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton or Einstein, or as creative as Salvador Dali or Jimi Hendrix but your own personal intent to expand your mental knowledge! If you wish to keep using 10% of your brain and working a 9 to 5 job by all means, continue! |

lol Dannon...when I first saw this thread I remember thinking..."opening it with what? ...a scalpel?" Let's keep the pinealectomies for the doctors to perform. |
|
why not provide some good information of your own then rather than just all the ridicule? the guy is only asking for advice on how to better activate your visualisation and perceptual abilities. ok alot of the terminology and ideas may sound silly to those of you who seem know all about this stuff, but when you look for ideas on how to improve visualisation you find people everywhere telling you that pineal gland/third eye activation is the way to do it. if the misinformation is so bad why not at least correct it according to how you see it? |
|
I couldnt of said it better myself, Thanks! Apparently to get the information i need i would have to move to a shrine in Peru haha! I thought about the question i had asked and realized i asked it on the wrong site cuz if the people here understood or experienced what i am talking about they would no longer be in on a website that portrays dreams as just being part of ones "imagination" and just something to have fun with. Its kinda sad really, I personally dont plan on being here much longer myself. Just waiting for my "breakthrough". |
|
Ok, first let me apologize if you guys felt that I was ridiculing you. I suppose this wasn't the proper place for my little internet misinformation tirade that has been building up for awhile. |
|
haha i know the feeling ive been struggling alot with that myself lately. there are only so many deep breaths you can take before it has to come out. i often write something out and then realise im being harsh and delete it. i appreciate your response and i know what you mean when you say it is a massive subject that would take a long time to cover, just jedi seemed like a switched on chap who was after a little advice. if you ever did decide to write it up let me know id love to have a read |
|
ahh stick around mate its one of the best places ive found. i dont think the majority of experienced people here write of dreams as simply imagination, but even if they do thats only because that is the sum of their experience so far. you may want to try some of the beyond dreaming and astral/meditation forums elsewhere as they would be more appropriate for such questions. |
|
Ya this site really does have alot of information and has helped me out more than anything else iv read up on. I have looked into those forums but its still not exactly what im looking for. I just think its ignorant not to have a religious forum or spiritual forum when your focusing on the subject of dreams. |

If you want to activate your third eye, start with a balanced approach and strive to activate ALL your chakras. Be a spectrum like a rainbow. We are a rainbow bridge between heaven and earth. Lucid dreaming, meditation, and breathwork are the techniques I find to be the best. And yoga in order to stay relaxed and have energy flow through the body smoothly. I said before in this thread that the pineal gland relates to the crown chakra, not the third eye. Hence the crazy out of body universal consciousness that may be attributed to the DMT in the pineal gland. The pituitary relates to the third eye. But they are very close together in the brain also near the hypothalamus, hence I understand the confusion. There is a meditation done with breathing that activates both. The feeling of tingling in the forehead is not what one is after. This is attention focused on the sinuses, which is not the pineal or pituitary gland. I will try to find a picture, then explain the meditation. Keep in mind that it is advanced and one needs to keep balance with all the other chakras. That is why Aquanina says it is a vast subject. |

exceptional post dannon cheers. my psilo cubensis should be grown in about a couple of weeks and they're my favourite too |

whoa there is a name for it? cool. Me and my sister think in image. Sort of like the way you do when you day dream. Idk its hard to explain. I know plenty of people who think in words. And i know tons bilinguals who think in 2 different languages (depending on the time and place and situation). Lol i kind of survey my friends. |

Nothing is difficult in a dream, its all in your head.
