    When I try and grasp it, it vanishes. When I embrace it, it expands into infinity. So true!

    YES YES YES! I was guided this way during meditation- to forget about seeing "THE EYE...." Guru told me that. The phenomena can be distracting. When I first started meditating I saw all kinds of things. That went away. Now I let go and appreciate the gifts. I do all the recommended practices and just trust. Have to be careful not to get stuck in methodologies and remember the goal-oneness with the love that is God. Everything else works then. EVERYTHING.

      @@everyone8043 Not at all! I learned that the ego is the one judging my progress, and now that my ego is quieted down, the deeper states come every day. With or without "THE EYE." Now I see more of the sheets of light coming in waves. When I first started, I saw MY eye in front of me! That was weird! Then, the flame and circle. Now, just blue haze-the most beautiful blue.

    Great explanation. One day let me tell you about the dance of Lakshmi and Vishnu with the Sudarshan Chakra and the story of the Thumb sized being in the Katha Upanishad. Lakshmi is the Golden womb, the Maha Maya. The Inner Guru is you as Vishnu waiting asleep on the cosmic ocean of bliss. love your discoveries

    Very interesting video and thanks for sharing!..according to swami muktananda of siddha yoga, the thumb like image is the subtle body while the 3rd eye is one of the chakras therein. Global vision is the witnessing self. Archetype is a vague term used in jungian psychology. 3rd eye is entry pt into higher states of consciousness via swami yogananda. Video leaves many questions unanswered.

    Dear Forrest, Namaste. This is so profound explanation. I see the ring during and after yoni mudra. Earlier I had found that when I did a particular Laxmi Mantra the prior night, then in the following morning mediation the ring will be very profound and bright. If I skipped the nightly mantra Japa then the ring would be a hit or miss depending on how many breaths were done.
    What stunned me is that in one of your videos you mentioned that the outer ring is the representation or the radiance of Mother Laxmi. I started connecting the dots that may be me doing the particular mantra, Mother Goddess was showering her blessings with the visual. Your explanations are so easy to understand. Thank you, Gratitude and Pranam!

    • @ForrestKnutson
      @ForrestKnutson  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's so fantastic! Yes! That's right, all of the Mothers are the representation of the manifestation, which is what is in the bright yellow ring.

    Wonderful this Forrest. I love what you said about the 'nonchalant" guru. I have been in the company of elders here, and most people experience being nervous and scared around them. But three were the grandfathers in my family and one of them loved telling jokes, -but there would be a story there. He was known as a Contrary Frank said to me -"never try to look creation in the eye' -and what he meant by that was if you saw a spirit in the forest -don't try staring at it -it will disappear. When i told you of an experience of seeing my body make of lines of light - i think it was like that 4 th stage. I don't know how or why - but i think i've been able to 'fall into ' this state all my life; and i've often wondered if it is because i was sick in fevers for a year when i was young. After that i saw and heard things differently - and that stayed with me. Vairous times in my life when i've devoted more time to meditaiton or like when i was doing Reiki - i would often have this happen - and i would 'see' myself like in a little window and the other person - and be shown what energy they needed - Often it was like waves of water or fields of long grass - or perhaps cloud - i would ask - and i would be shown. I don't know if this is this 4th stage - but something that has been available to me. I am so grateful for your teachings about this to bring these reminders back to me - after a few years of feeling like i had 'fallen out' of the flow of life.

    Thank you Forrest. I've seen the spiritual eye and when I do it has a strong presence of joy or confidence or just a feeling of "all is well" it's not just a light. I was meditating on my past lives or possibly other incarnations I've had and I saw 3 different people pop into my third eye field of vision. A young woman and two old med. They all were in a field with a beautiful smile on their faces waving hello to me. Not all at the same time but one each day. What I'm experiencing sounds completely different from your instruction this morning. Thank you

As a beginner we have a road map on how to proceed or what to expect in meditation. Highly inspiring and motivational. One needs to probably wait patiently and practise consistently.

    Wait! I do occasionally see a lotus seated figure during my meditations. I figured it'd be an archetypal vision, but you're saying I'm actually seeing myself?? If I meditate in a different position (shavasana, maybe), would I see this figure in a different shape?
    Also, I've seen your other videos on the spiritual eye and it always get me confused. Besides the dark cave, I don't see golden ring nor white star. What I do see most of the time is either some geometric patterns, usually hexagonal, or some diffused patterns, like clouds of smoke passing by. Sometimes I see some more pronounced violet light, in the shape of a skull. Is all of this the spiritual eye also or am I seeing something completely different?

    But Shiv chitt is on left side of your brain n body, which is where the self essentially sits right. I am confused as in mediation if you want extreme bliss you incline more towards moon( left), instead of sun(right). Right side is actually considered as a side of ego, sex, power, and materialistic goals.

    • @ForrestKnutson
      @ForrestKnutson  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

Ida is associated with lunar energy or moon centre from which is on the left side and Sun or solar energy on the right, So when you say aggressive, sexual, predatory nature it is due to imbalance in Solar energy, and Ida essentially is responsible for cooling down the system , peace, intuition, bliss and congnitive ability, and the balance when is a achieved between two NADIS (Ida (left) and Pingla(right) )..Balance is achieved and this Pranic energy travels through sushmna Nadi the centre one and reaches the 3rd eye.

    So interesting, Forrest! Thank you. Couple of comments. 1.) My friends have a 6 year old daughter with poor sleep and night terrors. The mom has poor sleep as well. I suggested HRV breathing to calm down the central nervous system and get them out of fight or flight mode. They're likely to try it, and I hope they do. I used to be a terrible insomniac and now sleep like a baby through Wim Hof - I know you have reservations about that - and HRV breathing. 2.) I wonder if we're accessing the same Spiritual Eye in Remote Viewing. I'm split on that. In Remote Viewing we are regularly accessing images, impressions and sensations not coming from the 5 usual senses. Additionally, I focus a lot on being aware of my consciousness, trying to observe myself being aware as a habit. This is inspired by Eckhart Tolle and others. Haven't met Mini Me quite yet ;-) Keep up the wonderful work.

    • @ForrestKnutson
      @ForrestKnutson  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The HRV Resonance should work for the child. You can also have them put their head down towards their belly button, and rub their stomach in a circular motion, going right to left and downwards around the navel. This will bring attention to the third chakra and interrupt the processes of the right amygdala which is the center of fear.

    • @ForrestKnutson
      @ForrestKnutson  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a potential side effect of the first knot, which I've mentioned in other videos. I would stop all practices with the spiritual eye and instead concentrate only on the medulla as a center point. When you feel the energy drawing towards the spiritual eye pull it back gently towards the medulla. This should relieve a lot of the pinched energy in the front of the brain. Also practice expansion exercises as I mentioned in this video. Imagine yourself floating in the sky or in the infinite ocean over and over again. Again this will get you away from the pinched energy.
