How to Catch the 3rd Eye - Secret Revealed

Summary

, 11 min

Why entering the spiritual eye is so hard and how to do it: the grasping left brain cannot carry the yogi into the cave, so the right brain must be induced through surrender, expansion and dilated eyes. Draws on Yogananda's poems "Prayer at Night" and "Cup of Eternity", Iain McGilchrist, and a story of years of frustration.
