If you keep your two eyes very still, your seeing power shifts to an inner eye between your eyebrows that lets you sense deeper, non-physical things.
From the Discourses
Passages where Osho speaks to this question — each links to the complete discourse.
Explain the relationship of the two eyes with the third eye. In which way do the techniques concerned with looking affect the third eye?
Looking at a spot, staring at it without allowing your eyes to move anywhere else, will give a staticness. Suddenly the energy which was moving through the two eyes will not be moving through these eyes. And energy has to move; energy cannot be static. Eyes can be static, but energy cannot be static. When these eyes are closed to the energy, if suddenly the doors are closed and the energy cannot move through these eyes, it tries to find a new path. And the third eye is just near, just between the two eyebrows, half an inch deep. It is just near -- the nearest point. If your energy is released from these eyes, the first thing that can happen is that it will move through the third eye. It is just as if water is flowing and you close one hole: it will find another -- the nearest…
6. Eyes closed, see your inner being in detail. Thus see your true nature.
7. LOOK UPON A BOWL WITHOUT SEEING THE SIDES OR THE MATERIAL. IN A FEW MOMENTS BECOME AWARE. 8. SEE AS IF FOR THE FIRST TIME A BEAUTEOUS PERSON OR AN ORDINARY OBJECT. Really, for the first time you become your self; for the first time you know you are. Your being is revealed in a flash. But why does it happen? You might have seen, in children's books particularly, a picture, or in some psychological treatises, but I hope everyone must have seen somewhere or other -- a picture of an old woman, and in the same lines a beautiful young woman is also hidden. There is one picture, the same lines, but two figures are in it: one old woman, one young woman. Look at the picture: you cannot become aware of both simultaneously. You will become aware either of one or the other. If you have become…
Touching eyeballs as a feather, lightness between them opens into heart and there permeates the cosmos.
KIND DEVI, ENTER ETHERIC PRESENCE PERVADING FAR ABOVE AND BELOW YOUR FORM. What is entering? He is so overflowing with his energy.... And whosoever is at peace with himself is always overflooded, because his energy is not wasted in unnecessary nonsense in which you are wasting your energy. He is always overflooded, and whosoever comes can take. Jesus says, `Come unto me. If you are heavily burdened, come unto me. I will unburden you.' Really he is not doing anything; it is just his presence. It is said that whenever a god-man, a teerthankara, an avatar, a Christ, moves on the earth, around him a particular milieu is created. Jain yogis have even measured it. They say it is twenty-four miles. Twenty-four miles is the radius around a teerthankara, and for twenty-four miles in the whole radius everyone is flooded with his energy: knowing, not knowing, friend or enemy, following…
Beloved Osho, eight years ago I saw you on tv. There was a report about the poona ashram. I saw you doing the energy darshan, putting your finger on to the third eye of some people, causing them to fall down. At that moment I recognized you. It took me six years to sit in front of you. The first time you looked at me, I fell down, and there was a flash in my brain. Now, sitting in front of you, closing my eyes, I see a big, black spot. Inside this black spot there is a white one. This white spot comes nearer and nearer, whirling in a circle. But just before the black spot disappears totally, I
I used to touch people's third eyes with my fingers, but I had to stop it for the simple reason that I became aware that stimulating the third eye from the outside is good if the person continues to meditate, continues to watch -- then the first experience coming from the outside will soon become his inside experience. But such is the stupidity of man that when I can stimulate your third eye, you stop meditating. You rather start asking more and more for energy meetings with me, because you have not to do anything. I also became aware that for different people, a different kind and different quantity of energy is needed from the outside -- which is very difficult to decide. Sometimes somebody falls completely into a coma; the shock is too much. And sometimes the man is so retarded that nothing happens. Because you had seen on…
Osho, two subjects have already been discussed. I request that today we begin the discussion regarding the tilak, the tika, and the mala.
The Rothschilds are a great billionaire family in America. A woman of that family was ill, and no treatment remained; everything had been tried. She was brought to Cayce. In his “unconscious” state—unconscious from our point of view; for those who know, he was more conscious than us; in truth, until knowledge reaches the third eye, unconsciousness continues—Cayce closed his eyes and named a medicine. The Rothschilds were billionaires. A search was made throughout America; the medicine could not be found. No one could even say such a medicine existed. Then advertisements were placed in newspapers throughout the world to find it anywhere. Some twenty days later, a man from Sweden replied that there was no such medicine; twenty years earlier his father had patented a medicine of that name, but it had never been manufactured. It had only been patented; it never reached the market. They had no stock;…
