Clarity--The Two Become One             
By  Sandy Jones

What it th Third Eye? Is it the Mystical Eye of Realization?

It is said that when we open the Third Eye we can see the Truth, we can see Reality, we have become enlightened.

Maybe it is an analogy for the “mind’s eye”, that place where we can envision or be open to more than ‘what is here in front of us’.

Philosophically speaking and using metaphor I think opening our third eye is when we begin to see and understand much more than “meets the eye”. We see more clearly, we become aware of Divine Presence and we sense Its Powerful Grace that Here. And we can see the deeper dimensions behind this tangible ojective world.

When we open the third eye, we can see Life from an enlightened of view. Enlightened means we are out of the dark and in the Light. We can see better when the lights are on.

Seeing from the Light of Truth we have risen to a higher vision and an expanded view of Life. We are seeing Life from a third position which is above and including both duality and non-duality,

When we get insights and glimmers of Truth we are seeing with our third eye. An insight is seeing from within; we are not being fooled by the images ‘out there’. Open to this higer vision we get these flashes of Truth and Glimmers of Reality.

To understand something is to see something very clearly.

I think trying to understand non-duality and its relationship to duality is bit like working with binoculars.

We do not get rid of our dualisitc view, we incorporate it with the vision of oneness, and move it together with the Light of Reality.

When we use binoculars we have to twist the middle adjuster thing until the two separate lenses appear to come together and make one clear view.

Understanding and clarity about Life comes to us much the same way. The best way to understand the Truth is to see that duality and non-duality must be combined in order to see clearly “what is”.

I cannot throw out one side of my binoculars and expect to see a clear vision ‘out there’.

In the same way, I cannot see Life as only nondual, or only dual. I see clearly that Life includes the material view and separated sense, while knowing that Consciousness is 'before' matter. I must bring both of those visions together into the third position where both come together make one 'combined' view and I can see it all clearly.

The Truth is not just this objective separated material world view and it not just the subjective 'no thing' 'no self' 'pure awareness', view either.

Both those views are true in there own way.

The clear view is kind of the middle view or the Third "I" view

Seeing clearly may take some time, but if we keep twisting so as to bring both sides together, eventually all becomes clear.

We realize that the subjective view is correct and the ojective view is to be understood. With both views as one we find the Omnijective view.

We see that the tangible world is here as the appearance of an objective world and we understand the reason and purpose for this time-space-world. Then at the same time we see everything is subjective, intangible, nothingness and oneness of everything.

Between those two visions we find this mystical third view where the truth of Reality comes together and the two lesser views make One Superior view.

Neither view is correct or absolute without the other view, the two become a whole New View that is made of both views. .

Seeing clearly we understand Life from the third, middle, balanced and Supernal View.
