Split Thread Scorpion's Spiritualism

I think to open your third eye you need more XP and then roll a save vs psychic corruption. A natural 20 will do.

Setting aside the pineal gland third eye notions, you said it's a psychic energy channel - this implies that it has connection to psychic powers, so my question stands: If the 3rd eye is connected to psychic power, and psychics are connected to the spiritual plane, then is the 3rd eye also spiritual?

No, its just an organ.

How? What would he perceive/know/experience if he succeeded that he would not be able to convince himself he was perceiving/knowing/experiencing if there was no such thing as a third eye?

Don't answer this Scorpion, for it is, of course, a trick question.

If your instructions for opening the third eye actually lead Pixel to a real spiritual experience then you are responsible for their delayed evolution in the spirit world. Can't have that!

Now, now, do we really want to get involved in psychic warfare with Scorpion?

I do. I blast you with my evil spirit reiki fireball +3 Scorpion. What have you got to counter me?

Actually, there is a serious answer to that joke question, which is I would pray for you. That would create a shell of light around me, strengthening my aura.

You could try the exercises to open it yourself, as if it is true then anyone can potentially do it.

The Third Eye

In November 1956 a book called The Third Eye was published in the United Kingdom. It was written by a man named as Tuesday Lobsang Rampa, and it purported to relate his experiences while growing up in Chakpori Lamasery[1] Chokpori, Tibet after being sent there at the age of seven. The title of the book is derived from an operation, similar to trepanation, that Rampa claimed he had undergone, in which a small hole was drilled into his forehead to arouse the third eye and enhance powers of clairvoyance. The book describes the operation as follows:

The instrument penetrated the bone. A very hard, clean sliver of wood had been treated by fire and herbs and was slid down so that it just entered the hole in my head. I felt a stinging, tickling sensation apparently in the bridge of my nose. It subsided and I became aware of subtle scents which I could not identify. Suddenly there was a blinding flash. For a moment the pain was intense. It diminished, died and was replaced by spirals of colour. As the projecting sliver was being bound into place so that it could not move, the Lama Mingyar Dondup turned to me and said:" You are now one of us, Lobsang. For the rest of your life you will see people as they are and not as they pretend to be."

During the story, Rampa sees yetis and eventually encounters a mummified body of himself from an earlier incarnation. He also takes part in an initiation ceremony in which he learns that during its early history the Earth was struck by another planet, causing Tibet to become the mountain kingdom that it is today.

I read the book in 1968, never got the third eye opened.

Would that be a force field with 100 HP's? I can take that down with my iron fist technique.

The praying itself is irrelevant, it's about the stated prayer intent. Nothing else.

Not at all, in fact I am trying to guide people to study the core teachings of spiritualism. Such as the teachings of Silver Birch, which teaches that humanity is one family of souls, and we are all divine.

It's not about whether the lights on the outside are on, but whether the lights on the inside are on.

I read the early books of Lobsang Rampa while I was at art college in 1969
I got as far as the book about cat legends, in which cats are supposed to talk, and that finished me. I threw the books away.

You're not exactly very convincing.
 
Scorpion said:
I have never been able to open my third eye up to now, but I have decided to have another go at it. I do not know what happens if you succeed, but I imagine you would become a clairvoyant, able to see into the spirit world and get evidence from the spirits yourself. It may be possible to be self deluded and have hallucinations that are not true visions, but maybe succeeding in opening the third eye would bring evidence that was confirmable.

What sort of evidence would that be? How would it be confirmed?

Remember that the evidence you've described so far (e.g. being told the name of your deceased baby brother) could have been obtained in other ways than via the spirit world, or even just luckily guessed. What would be the best way to eliminate such explanations?

And yet, you believe in a spirit world and third eyes etc.

We are not talking about getting a message through a medium, we are talking about opening ourselves to the spirit world directly. So I guess we would have to work out for ourselves if the information that we received was true or false. I would suggest that the application of logic to any perceptions would be a good thing that might avoid self delusion.
