I know I posted it. It might have gotten canned by a mod for it's size. I'll resize and try again tonight.
Nah. It didn't post because you took it from a site that doesn't allow for taking their illustrations. That's what that little symbol meant in your earlier post. (Been there. Done that. Figured out where I went wrong. lol)

Looking into it, most instructions I've found say to utter certain words and to focus on an object in your mind.

I'm not about to chant words that I do not know or to focus on anything but Christ.

My interest is to strengthen my communication with Jesus, nothing more, nothing less.

However, some instructions say to choose your own mantra and to imagine something you choose.

Mantra Jesus and focus Jesus, couldn't hurt.

I've got a lot of house cleaning today, but perhaps I'll find a time of peace to try it tomorrow. I'll be very careful.
If that's the purpose, why not ask God for more focus? I tend to go scatter-brained often with my time with God, and have to keep asking it, but it does work (for a while.)

And, BTW, when you get done cleaning your house, want my address to clean mine next?

(It can't hurt to ask. lol)

If we are looking inward all the time...we will miss God. He isn't there until we are born of Him. Then it is His Spirit forming us in His image. We still look upward, not inward.

Satan twists the truths of God.

In Genesis...when God separated light from darkness? Darkness is in Hebrew, a twist away from Light.

Very odd. I uploaded it to my blog and linked from there. I'll attach it to this post instead.

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

And how does he know if the tattooist got it all in the exact right spot? He can't see it as it's going on?

(Admittedly, this stuff gives me the heebeegeebees, but I don't know enough about it, and I really don't find it important enough to research, to find out if it is good, bad, or whatever. Tattoos? All I see is someone willing to get a needle stuck in him time and time and time again. I don't like pain, so I avoid it, if I can.
:eek:)

If in the wrong place, it might correct itself when he goes old and wrinkly!

Not any easy or socially acceptable way to put each of the chakra symbols on their exact right spot. The crown chakra would be on the top of the head (even a formerly incarcerated dude like me won't get a tattoo above the neck), and the root chakra would be...umm...on the "taint". Uh...no. So, the tattoo is just kind of a representation.

The root chakra (red) hurt like crazy. Because of both the position and the fact that a tattoo artist has to SCRUB the coloration into it. Ouchie.

When I was young, one of my coworkers talked about her last job. She worked in a nursing home and one of her jobs was to clean the residents. One of the residents was a 90-year-old WWI vet. (Not a typo. Remember how old I am. lol) When he was in the service he got a tattoo of a fly... ummm, right about where a man's fly opens. :eek: His age very much affected what that fly looked like by then.

I have always appreciated that story, because I was just considering getting a tattoo of kissy lips on my tush. All I could think of was droopage and dimples after that, so never did.

Whew!

If strengthening your communication with Jesus is your hope, will and aim; then He, Himself has given good counsel on how we should and should not seek Him in many places in the Gospels. To narrow the focus I counsel that you start with Matthew Chapter 6, the whole chapter. But I'll highlight some specific instructions below that you can Trust:

Mat 6:6-10

(6) But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you hast shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret shall reward you openly.
(7) But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
(8) Be not you therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.
(9) After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
(10) Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Please don't stop there though; Keep reading, meditate on what He has said, pray as you are led by the Holy Spirit, and The Eternal God be with you according to your professed faith in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Baw ha ha.

A girl at work got fed up with plucking her eyebrows and painting them back on.
So she had her eyebrows completely shaved off and had them tattood on in the
shape she wanted.

So now she just shaves off her eyebrows completely and it looks like she has perfect
eyebrows all the time.

I didn't have the heart to ask what she will do when she is 80 and they turn white.
Will she keep shaving her eyebrows. If she doesn't she will have white eyebrows against
a dark brown background! Or worse her brown eyebrows will become eyeshadow !

If I did have a third eye, it would be very useful to have it on the end
of my finger. I could use it to look around corners and see where I was
going before I arrived. :D

Unfortunately, it's true. Well, according to what I've read. I'd also like to say according to what I've experienced, but as swimmingly as anything "non-biblical" goes over here at CC, I'll refrain from talking about my experience on the evening of 12/8/2012.

I have never intentionally tried to open the third eye.

Does anyone have experience trying this, what did you experience, and how do you get there?

Or do you have reason to avoid such things?


Third Eye?


That really just sounds like showing off.

Tuesday Lobsang Rampa apparently had some bone removed from his forehead to
allow more light into his third eye. According to Cyril Henry Hoskin, who initially
legally changed his name to Karl Kuon Suo, Lobsang Rampa was the name of the
Buddhist
Tibetan monk who took over his body in a process known as reincarnation
or transmigration of the soul. His many books had a huge influence on many during
the sixties and seventies. The idea of reincarnation predates Buddhism in Jainism and
early Hinduism. Even early Greek thinkers accepted it as a reality in classical antiquity.

I have a first-run copy of The Third Eye by Lopsang Rama in my collection. Right next to my books by Ram Dass.

Remember, be here now. What about Carlos Castaneda?

Yep, I have a couple Carlos Casteneda books in the collection, I'm reading Journey to Ixtlan right now. Kind of jumping into the middle of the Don Juan stories, but I pick books up at the second-hand store as they come available.

I enjoyed Be Here Now alright, but I prefer his more recent works he's written since his stroke. Truth be told, it was a viewing of "Fierce Grace" during the darkest days of my life that helped to ignite the fire of my searching for spiritual meaning.

Genesis 32:30
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”

Peniel short definition
face or vision of G-D; that sees G-D

of all the names they could have chose, they picked one that looks and sounds almost exactly like Pineal.
