The Third Eye Chakra

Ascending once again above the heart, we find the third eye chakra. This center is just as important to keep free of human debris as any of the other six--even more so, because it is the orifice of spiritual vision.

Jesus, the World Teacher, was speaking of this 'eye' when he said, "The light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light" (Matt. 6:22).

Located at the center of the brow, it is emerald green when purified and has ninety-six petals (sometimes represented as two, as in the winged caduceus). Ideally, through the third eye, we should be able to anchor the vision of God, the vision of perfection.

Today, we live in a world of relativity and do not see or out picture the absolute perfection of the God Self. When man was first created, before the descent of the soul into the planes of illusion (the Fall), he had the single-eyed vision of his original perfection in the third eye.

At the time of the Fall, when he partook of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of relative good and evil, he fell into a state of duality. This is the propensity to see good and evil as relative qualities.

At the lowest point of the planetary evolution, some had lost the divine spark and walked the earth as animals. (It seems that Darwin was really a latecomer!) In actuality, mankind did not start as cavemen but descended into that state through neglect of devotion to the sacred fire of the heart and the misuse of the throat chakra and the third eye.

Since then, man has not been able to regain the fullness of his former faculties, although he may make great strides through the exercise of the heart chakra in devotion and meditation, the exercise of the throat chakra in the scientific use of the mantra or the dynamic decree of the Word, and the exercise of his spiritual vision by seeing the good in friend and foe alike.

The very fact that America has enjoyed such prosperity over the last two centuries has to do with the fact that its people have had the third-eye vision of a higher standard of excellence to make things happen.

Not only have we built a mighty nation of our own, but we have exported money and technology to almost every other nation on earth.

"Yes," you say, "but what about our economy? What about all of the unemployment?" Well, some of the nation's poor are those who have misused their chakras in the past, causing great harm to others, and are now experiencing the effects of causes they set in motion. But even this can be undone by the violet flame.

Karma, after all, is the iron law of cause and effect, more binding and a I I -encompassing than any earthly statute. This is not to disallow the negative and even diabolical influence that our past and present leaders have had on the economy and employment picture.

They have interfered with the free market by monopoly capitalism and federal regulation which has hurt a lot of good people who are the backbone of America. However, there is no injustice in the universe. Everyone must face the reaper in the form of his own personal karma. Everyone must ultimately pay the price for the misuse of the light of God-the oppressors as well as the oppressed. There are no exceptions.

The clearing of the third eye can be accomplished through meditation on perfect geometric forms, as well as through the raising of the energies of the lower chakras to the level of the third eye.

To begin, visualize a disc of light superimposed over your forehead, like a miner's light, only brighter. See it spinning and filling your vision center with light, flushing out the misqualified substance of the ages from your chakra, cleansing it until it is a brilliant emerald green.

As you are holding this picture in your mind's eye, give the following mantra of the science of the Word:

0 disc of light from heaven's height,
Descend with all your perfection!
Make our auras bright with freedom's light
And the Master's love and protection!
Then call to your Christ Self and affirm:
I AM, I AM beholding all,
Mine eye is single as I call Raise me now and set me free,
Thy Holy Image now to be.

Clearing the third eye is a very important step in soul evolution, as it is directly correlated to the soul chakra. Whatever is seen through the third eye is also mirrored in the soul.

As a practical measure, third-eye vision can be improved through the cleansing of the colon and the physical body in general. Toxins accumulated in the blood and fatty tissue as well as in the colon are a direct hindrance to that vision. A balanced program of fasting on fresh vegetable or fruit juices, as well as distilled water and herb teas, is a good place to start.
