The third eye

The third eye

Belief in human's potential to interact with the higher or spiritual realm sometimes focuses upon the concept of the third eye.  The idea is someplace in the space on your forehead is a sleeping eye awaiting to open to a newer and deeper reality.  Sometimes known as the third chakra in Indian religions, the third eye also has a signifigance to bring a person closer to another plane of existence.  There is belief that the third eye can let the person see auras, or give them the ability to read minds.

In some UFO circles, there is conjecture that this third eye is also a connection with other dimensional creatures that may be the 'aliens' of the flying saucers and UFOs.  It is true after the first modern sightings of UFO in the 1940's, there was an explosion of 'contact' stories of aliens, usually Nordic looking creatures who would contact people about the connection with aliens.  The people with elaborate contact stories were usually to a person, occultists who dabbled in channelling and the idea of the third eye took on a ways and means of contacting the creatures from beyond.  The blurring between the UFO and some proto new age thought had already taken root in some parts of popular culture.

It's easy to be amused by these claims, until you realize that the father of the Saturn V and most modern rocket engine designs from combat to science, Wernher Von Braun, always claimed that when they were working on the V-2 rockets for Nazi germany, that the scientists used channeling as a ways and means to gather knowledge from the others from the unknown beyond.  With this secret knowledge, designs from the V2 rocket were perfected until the Saturn V would take men to the moon years later.

Perhaps 'the others' helped rocket design plans via the third eye.
