Greetings Rene,

The reason i use the third eye metaphor is in my practice of gazeing in the mirror at a focus length where it appears i have three eyes.
As i move closer to the mirror, about six inches, i see my reflextion in the pupil of one eye. Left brain, right brain resonating in harmony.

So yes, "I think it's possible to see using both eyes at the same time - a blended perspective. Your post, of the three eyes, seems to agree with the idea of a blended perspective. Same, but different."

in peace,
gar

: So, when i ask myself, gar, what is
: enlightenment i think back to the time when,

: Reality now appeares to me through three

: your post made me smile, recalling a similar
: description of how this seems.
:
: for me - one eye does the commonality and
: differences of the (dual) this or that -
: while the other eye does the (non-dual)
: both-neither of the this or that .
:
: I recall many discussions of whether it was
: necessary to close the dual-eye to see
: through the non-dual eye, like in
: meditation.
