This morning as I sat with Higg(in)s and they flossed behind my eyes yet again, and I witnessed the opening of my third eye yet again, I thought it might be entertaining to share with you what it is like to have this happen. It may happen differently for different people, of course. For me, the eye appears rather suddenly. Even though I am beginning to expect it to appear, it doesn’t always happen. When it does open, it opens as an eye. It is not metaphorical.

When the eye opens a pinpoint of not exactly light, but lighter dark gray, opens in a field of blackish. Imagine it this way: Your eyes are closed, and you are ‘viewing’ whatever field of blackish you ‘see’ with your eyes closed. Now imagine that in the center of that blackish field a pinpoint of lighter color opens in a circular shape and that circle is then encircled by a striated circle. This combination looks exactly like the pupil and iris of one’s eye, but you are looking at it from the inside out. Next, imagine the iris of this circle dilating until the pupil fills your entire field of vision and the ‘iris’ encircles it at the very edge of your sight. This is what happens when my third eye opens.
