Imagine a world where our left eye captures the miraculous spectacle of birth, while our right eye bears witness to the inevitable shadow of death. This powerful metaphor unveils the delicate dance of life, a dance that intertwines beginnings and endings, creation and transformation. As we navigate this breathtaking journey, our third eye—the center of profound wisdom and intuition—illuminates the path of the living, guiding us through the mysteries of existence.
The left eye, with its vision of birth, reveals the awe-inspiring beauty of new beginnings. It gazes upon the tender first breaths of a newborn, the vibrant colors of dawn breaking over the horizon, and the exhilarating rush of new ideas taking flight.
Each moment is a testament to the boundless potential that life offers, filling our hearts with hope and wonder. Birth is not just an event; it is a symphony of possibilities, a celebration of the ever-renewing cycle of life.
In stark contrast, the right eye confronts the solemn reality of death. It sees the final moments of a sunset fading into darkness, the silent fall of autumn leaves, and the signficance of a farewell to a loved one. Death, though often feared, teaches us the profound lesson of impermanence. It urges us to cherish the fleeting moments, to find beauty in the transience of life, and to embrace the bittersweet nature of farewells. Death is not the end, but a transformation, a gateway to the unknown.
These two perspectives birth and death create a vivid, dynamic tapestry of life's duality. They remind us of the interconnectedness of all things, of the delicate balance that sustains existence. It is through this balance that we gain a deeper appreciation of our journey, understanding that each beginning is intertwined with an ending, and each ending paves the way for a new beginning.
Enter the third eye the mystical eye of insight and enlightenment. This inner vision transcends the physical realm, offering us a profound connection to our innermost selves and the vast universe. The third eye represents the road of the living, a path illuminated by knowledge, intuition, and spiritual awareness. It allows us to see beyond the surface, to perceive the hidden truths, and to gain a holistic understanding of our existence.
As we open our third eye, we embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth. We learn to navigate the complexities of life with clarity and wisdom, integrating the lessons of birth and death into a cohesive narrative. This insight empowers us to live authentically, to make conscious choices, and to cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves and others.
The third eye is the beacon that lights our path, guiding us through the labyrinth of life. It reminds us that life, in all its beauty and complexity, is a journey worth cherishing. By embracing the duality of birth and death, and seeking wisdom from within, we can live with purpose and awareness. The third eye is not just a symbol of insight—it is the essence of life itself, a testament to the infinite possibilities that await us on this extraordinary journey.
Thank you for joining me on this journey of exploration and growth—may we continue to learn, share, and inspire each other every step of the way.

Beautiful article Claudette.... Have you ever read the late Dr Evans-Wentz "Tibetan Book of the Dead...?" It's awesome and a must read. I first read it in the mid-1990s after a course in Vajrajana Buddhism. The noted psychologist Carl Jung wrote one of the forewords and called the book "his constant companion to death..." I think you would love it. There are many translations but this one is the best in my view....
