(NOTE: Click on the video below to watch a 5-minute YouTube presentation I created to help explain this discovery of the Third Eye in the ancient Americas. To learn more about this archaeological find, read my 2011 book Written In Stone.)
The “Third Eye” is a mysterious ancient faculty we all possess, according to occult tradition. It gives us the ability to see beyond ordinary sight. Though mystics and adepts speak of the mysterious powers the Third Eye endows us with (i.e., higher consciousness, greater perception, clairvoyance, expanded capacity for self-healing) on a simpler level the Third Eye denotes spiritual insight, providing us with a vision of our inner soul or higher Self, our true eternal being.
Readers familiar with Eastern religions will recall the Third Eye as having a long history in India, China, and Southeast Asia, where the religious traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism hold sway. The Third Eye is known throughout the Indian sub-continent as the “urna” or “trinetra,” and is often marked by a dot in the middle of the forehead, above and between the eyes.
THIRD EYE IN THE OLD WORLD
Third Eye symbolism in Old World cultures. This “forehead dot,” called “urna” or “trinetra,”
signifies the Third Eye. By closing our two eyes and opening our Third Eye, we see our
higher “Self” or spiritual “soul within.”
During my travels and during my three decades of studying ancient cultures, I have come to realize that the same symbolic Third Eye “forehead dot” present in Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism is also abundant in the archaeology of ancient New World civilizations.
This fact has not yet been recognized by scholars of New World cultures.
We find this Third Eye symbolism among cultures that evolved and flourished in present-day Mexico, Peru, Columbia, Panama and even the United States (i.e., the Olmec, Toltec, Maya, Zapotec, Aztec, Inca, pre-Inca, and Mississippian cultures, among others):
