Meditation/Seeing Through Third Eye

[Fireinfolding]

The Word of God says not to partake in ANY kind of witch craft. SO if you are practicing one of thier methods...it is AGAINST Scripture.

Heres an interesting scripture as well

1Sam 15:23 For rebellion ~IS AS~ the sin of witchcraft, and stubborness ~IS AS~ iniquity and idolotry.

well ive decided to change my meditation process to laying in the dark and listening to my metal and reading the bible.

i still however think the whole third eye thing has the wrong cred.
i havent used it as of my first post about it.
but its just odd to me, like if the third eye is occult what does that make your imagination? (im not defending it the third eye thing im just extremely curious about it)

I'm going to repeat what I said earlier: if you want to meditate, find a Christian teacher to guide you. I'm not at all convinced that listening to metal is a better meditation strategy than trying to open your third eye, but that might have more to do with my personal taste (I listen to ambient house when I need background music, which isn't that often).

well... i wouldnt say that

I think you just have to be careful. "The Third eye" is a lable linked to a few practices including clairvoyance, precognition, and out-of-body experiences.

Just make sure you stay on the right side of the tracks and dont do any research into practices with the "third eye" technique that might tempt you away.

Maybe not calling it "Third eye" might reduce some peoples judgement on you.

I think meditation and focusing your mind on God is a good thing indeed.

We know Paul had no "visions" or "out of body experiences dont we?

ROFL Okay I couldnt resist "that one".

I KNOW that no one was caught up to THIRD "EYE" (I mean "HEAVEN" ) and whether "in the body" or "out of the body" he could not tell (but what "an experience" huh? lol)

When Paul prayed that THE EYES of our heart be "enlightened" he didnt mention "how many" there was "in there" LOL). If someone said "two" would that make us feel better? LOL

Okay okay, I need to laugh sometimes you know.

It sorta gets ridiculous as even those who speak of "third eye" dont see it nor do they explain it but in terms that sometimes have "scriptural applications". I say this only because when others use those terms its just "words" to freak you out. Once thats planted in ya the word "meditate" has a negative punch though scripture speaks of it, so does the word "enlightenment" as Paul prayed the eyes of our heart be so. Dont let others "put stuff on you". Its just like that maze thread, all the sudden "mazes" have a boogieman on them because someone with a defiled conscience sees them that way. Simply put your walking in the truth or we are not whether we go to church or whether we are not. Whether we have two eyes, a single eye, or try to spiritualize a "third eye" here LOL

If the Lord would have said, I have SEVEN EYES, would not have others thought him strange back then? They are "symbolic" and spoken of in revelation but of others who say this is only for shock value. They dont REALLY see an EYE they make reference to the eye believing it holds spiritual value in terms of clarity or during relaxation excercises and such like things. If you saw gradmom closing her eyes and taking in deep breaths to relax is she worshipping satan doing that? I dont get that mentality but I do understand some are completely engrossed into the "depths of Satan" as they speak. I dont "go there".


Clairvoyance (Thin line in the definition)

Definition (First one is weird)

1....... The Supernatural power of seeing objects or actions removed in space or time from natural veiwing.....

One COULD actually use these then couldnt they?

Col 2:5 For though I be absent ~in the flesh~ YET I am with you ~in the spirit~ joying and beholding ~your order~ and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

Or

2Cr 12:22 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, *I cannot tell*; or whether out of the body, *I cannot tell*: God knoweth such a one caught up to the third heaven. 2Cr 12:5 Of such ~a one~ I will glory:

Com on today wouldn't others call that one a NEW AGER just by "that" experience alone. Paul would actually GLORY in that ONE strangely enough)



2....Perception........(is perception bad?)

Acts 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees (its like walking in a room and perceiving something "baptists" and catholic" or those who perceived the grace of God in Paul, both inward or outward here)

3....Perception of a truth.......... (Is that evil?)

Acts 10:34 Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:1Titus 2:4.... to come unto the knowledge of the Truth.


4....A fact or a truth perceived "in this way"......

Various examples (of a truth perceived "in this way??)

Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory 1Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto... 1Cr 3:1 brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual.... Col 1:9and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Heb 10:1 the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of things Roman 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Is that evil?

5....Keen quick insight .......a GOOD thing its opposite is a weakness not strengthrened yet... Heb 5:11we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 1Cr 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world



6....*Any* object *of truth* ~so dicerned~.......

Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses excercised to discern both good and evil.

Philosophy ..... (no fit)

Spritual with Spiritual" does NOT fit (after particular levels of) with the three branches of natural philosophy, moral philosophy, metaphysical philosophy, science philosophy ....

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ..

Last of all

7....Pure untaught, *noninferential* knowledge....

I looked up "noninferential" anyone know what that even means? I cant find it anywhere.

So Im stuck with pure untaught ("not sure" of noninferential") "knowledge".

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure ...Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ....

See how these which can be seen as "bad words" actually be very scriptural? How one might say the word "perceive" and you might see 50 running like they just saw "the boogieman" because "that word" becomes "unclean" (in regards to the faith) through other words (having a negative connotation on them) that define the "bad word" (that has one).

Dang, did I explain myself right? I truly lack on these sorts of words ROFL!!

that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. You are encouraging this person to use occultic witchcraft things that the Word says is WRONG??? OI VEY!

Yah, am a metal-head, too. Nothing wrong with it. But, perhaps it's not the best music to have on when you're spending time with God. Unless you can focus on other stuff when it's on

Imagination is a gift from God! Who doesn't enjoy going on beautiful flights of fancy? But meditating on something so non-scriptural is the problem - the two things are entirely separate. As to deciding not to pursue it anymore... Yay!

 

[HisBelovedMelody]

your imagination is different than your third eye. two different things all together. Nothing wrong with imagination...

yes, and your point?

I've recently started the practice of prayer through meditation and seeing through my third eye. It really seems to give me a natural high and make me feel happy. Like when I meditate I'll sometimes pray while I'm meditating. It really seems to help center me and make me really reach deep and believe in what I'm praying about. Although I do this for more reasons than just prayer.

I truly believe that it is a God-given ability to see through your third eye. Because when I do it, it really helps me write music. And seriously it centers me. I've been less angry and bitter since I've started doing it.

But when I do these things my family and friends say its blasphemous because religions like Shamanism, Buddhism, and Taoism also practice using your third eye. But like I said it really does help me.

So my question is... Should I ignore the people accusing me of practicing witchcraft? Or, is what I'm doing perfectly fine?

If you can find a reference to the third eye in the bible then you are right but if not then you are wrong it is that simple, there are many powers in this world beware of which ones you tap into....... It is that cut and dry..... So if you really want to do what is best start studying and look for a third eye account in the word.

There is a verse that says that the light of the eye is the life of the body, but believe me that is not what you are doing, it is a orientalism, the light of the eye in the east in the biblical times and perhaps now meant, your spiritual understanding, if your spiritual understanding is right and basedon God's word then it is life to your body but if your spiritual understanding is wrong then just the opposite..

Many things in life can produce temporary happiness and calm you and make you seem more at peace, marijuana makes people SEEM more relaxed bu th long term effect are drastic, MEDITATION is a form of spiritualism that those who get involved with it heavily tend to be very depressed and suicidel after a period of time. You are to meditate on God's word and His word alone, in other words think it over and stay your mind on it and consider what it has to say, this is called the stayed mind biblically and is also a part of the renewed mind process needed to change your own thinking patterns.

I would say that the third eye from my study is not Godly or biblical and that there is no such thing in Christianity or use for it.

But like I said look it up yourself... it is your life and you have to make your own decisions, but the best spiritual decisions are always backed up biblically.. God is spirit and He knows what is best for us....

Imagination. You say it's not a bad thing. I can think of a few things you can do that are not exactly a pure use of the imagination.

Our hands are just hands, we could use them to do evil or to do good. The evil or the good (intention) resides in our hearts. God knows all our intents, thoughts and all our imaginations.

Zach 7:10... let none of you imagine evil ~against~ his brother in your heart

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.


1Ch 28:9 ... The Lord searcheth ~all hearts~, and understandeth all ~the imaginations~ of ~the thoughts~: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.


2Cr 10:5 Casting down ~imaginations~ and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

1Sam 2:3 Talk no more so exeeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for The LORD IS a God of knowledge, and by HIM actions are weighed.

Yes so using your imagination like a third eye is wrong. To say somthing like that is harmless because it is imagination is ignorance. That can be placed up their with the witches and worlocks, it's real but people don't think it is.

Seriously, "third eye"? Its a "word" that gets a rise out of others. Neither is the word explainable by others that choose to use it. They use it to add a "touch of mystery" to themselves.

He "could" call the "third eye" a TRI-EYE -ITY (as ridiculous as that might sound) The dictionary "reaches for" a accurate descripton. Its not much unlike what I have seen others do that believe otherwise in their "terms" or "words".

How can one USE their imagination LIKE a third eye ? How does a "third eye" use its imagination?

Theres like no place to even put ones foot down in describing it (defining it) or rooting the thing (to me) its all imaginary and in ones head.

I'll let others argue demons, mazes and the so called third eyes. The conversation will naturally gravitate to a fruitless place. (To me) its full of "superstitiousness".

well I hate be the one to break it to you, just because someone makes it up doesn't mean it's any less real. Let me explain before you jump down my throat.

The person is lying to themselves mostly, however when they believe it, it becomes as real as the floor they stand on. Phsycotic maybe, but that's life.
