LORD SHIVA'S 3RD EYE-(THE EYE OF WISDOM0 Vs THE HUMAN 3RD EYE-(THE PINEAL GLAND)
Shiva is one of the gods of trinity.Lord shiva also called "THREE EYED LORD"is depicted as having 3 eyes,the sun is his right eye ,the moon the left eye,&fire the third eye.The 2 eyes on the right&left indicate his activity in the physical world.The third eye in the center of the forehead symbolizes spiritual knowledge&power&thus called the eye of wisdom or knowledge -the symbol of higher consciousness.
Like fire,the powerful gaze of shiva's 3rd eye annihilates evil& thus evil doers fear his 3rd eye.The very important physical characteristic of shiva is his vertical eye -the 3rd eye.
HUMAN THIRD EYE-THE PINEAL GLAND
-is a small endocrinegland in the brain.It is believed by Rene Descartes to be the seat of the soul.(who dedicated much time to the study of pineal gland.The gland weighs little more than0.1gm &larger in children & begins to shrink with the onset of puberty.In adult human ,small concretion of capo4&caco3(pineal sand)appear in the tissue.they are radio opaque,the normal pineal is often visible on xray films of the skullin adults.displacement of calcified pineal from its normal position indicates the presence of S.O.L such as brain tumour.
It is believed to be a dormant organ that can be awakened to enable telepathic communication.The pineal gland is occassionally associated with 3rd eye chakra in yoga.The pineal gland contains a complete map of the visual field of the eyes.There is a pathway from retina to hypothalamus (SCN-suprachiasmatic nuclei)called retinohypothalamic tract.It brings information about light&dark cycle to SCN.From SCN impulses travel via sym.n to pinealgland.These impulses inhibit the production of melanin from the pineal gland.When these impulses stop (at night,which light no longer stimulates the HT,pineal inhibition ceases &melatonin released.Melatonin may function as a timing device to keep internal events synchronized with light-dark cycle in the environment.
Visualization exercises are the 1st step in directing the energies in our inner system to activate the 3rd EYE.THE 3RD EYE OF SHIVA-The organ of spiritual vision ,is intimately related to karma ,as you become more spiritual in natural course of evolution,the pineal gland will continue to rise from its age-long dormant state to active state&will bring back the human astral capacities and spiritual abilities.
