I remember my first attempts at meditating as a teen ager. I would get a candle out; look into the flame for a long period of time, then close my eyes and view the lite of that flame. I visualize the third eye in much the same way. Anybody want to share their experiences?
There is little to share I'm afraid. I only saw the spiritual eye occasionally and fleetingly. At least I know it's there.
i know the feeling. There is a close connection between the physical and spiritual realms-the spiritual realm being the architect for the material world. So often we have experiences that are difficult to differentiate one from the other. Seeing lights is not so uncommon when someone closes their eyes. Even if one wants to explain it as a physical phenomena.... everything has a spiritual basis. In this sense we perhaps cheat ourselves out of spiritual experiences.
I remember a behavioral psychology professor remarking that psychic experiences i gave to him were nothing more than superstitious behavior. Certainly he only recognized one reality. That is the one measured by the senses. It is important to b among people who understand even our limited spiritual awareness rather than ridiculing us and stifling our progress.
I have found that practicing the higher kriyas and 'jyoti mudra' has brought more of this phenomena 'to light'.
