Is it possible to see the third eye

[InnateBuddha]

Hi all,

I've recently been doing a lot of energy work and training my auric vision.  The other night after finishing typing on my computer I got up and looked over at my girlfriend who was sleeping on the bed.  My bed faces a mirror so technically I was looking at her reflection.  As I look at her reflection I see an eyeball in the middle of her closed eyes.  I kind of freaked and looked at her and sure enough she was sound asleep. It was a round eyeball, so it didnt look like a regular person's eye being in the eye socket.  Was this her third eye?? If it was, does that mean her third eye's open?? Or does it open when were asleep? If it wasn't her third eye, then what was it??

hello Innatebuddha,

That is really a strange experience, i have never heard of something like this before but perhaps it your girlfriend really has her third-eye opened perhaps you could ask her is she is psychic or something, and perhaps your auravision is devoloping.

or maybe she was just dreaming in her sleep.. and her third eye was active

thanks for your responses... I was thinking something along the lines of what Sunn said but astraluminated's response is plausible too since she does have psychic ability though she is scared of developing it.  This really freaked me out though as it was quite scary looking...anybody else have opinions?

I'm thinking your third eye can be seen. Because how can people know about how chakras look like and their color and all, when it's not physical? Third eye is kind of a chakra. Third eye lets you see you chakras inside you. When your developing your third eye, you can see some things people with closed third eye cannot and perhaps third eye really does like an eye between your eyebrows that can see it all.

I have learned that our own minds can project these kinds of images as well.  I would suspect that when you have pondered what the third eye might look like some time in the past, you have pictured it in your mind as an eye.  Is this the case?  If possible, it might be wise to try not to have any preconceived ideas or visions on what you might see...  or maybe you will be able to understand what you are seeing no matter how it is portrayed to you.

You're mind is very powerful and you will almost certainly see whatever it is that you expect to see.  This has happened to me many times in daily life... many things I think about or focus on tend to happen to me or around me on a very regular and consistent basis.

actually, covelo, that idea ran through my head as well but ive always thought that chakras cant be see, third eye included.  so i really doubt it was a mental projection...
