~reflections~the "mystery" of the third eye

I'm baffled by the pervasive "mystery" surrounding the beholding of the third eye. It's about as mysterious as the beholding of a ball -- all you need do is simply look at it. Literally. Close your eyes, look up, then look in. If not immediately, remain there for just a few minutes and there you are: colors, images, tunnels, feelings of peace, etc. all right there. And before you suggest I have easy access from my experience with meditation and psychedelics, I can confirm this is nothing a child couldn't do -- I was doing it many years before I even heard the word meditation, and the children in my life find it very easy to have this experience with minimal explanation. It looks to me like the only thing keeping people from accessing such plainly obvious experience is a masochistic lack of openness, laziness, fear, or perhaps never having thought to look there in the first place. To think, all the clamour around this "Great Mystery", in both directions. The idea of ridiculing someone for believing the third eye "exists" even though they cant "prove it", is like ridiculing a child for their experience of a ball because they cant "prove" that it bounces. And just the same on the other end, to consider yourself somehow exceptional for noticing something we ALL have access too (and so easily) is just as absurd. What a funny world we live in.
