I don't know how relevant this is, but, just a side note I suppose. I have recently been getting into the books written by Lobsang Rampa (from my Dad, by the way), Specifically the title "Third Eye". Tuesday Lobsang Rampa was a young Buddhist boy growing up in Tibet, and the story is his biography of the life and journey of becoming a Lama. The thing I found interesting is that, when he was 9 years old, he underwent a religious "surgery" to re-open his third eye. His mentor literally cut open a flap in his forehead and inserted a sharp probe into his skin, through the bone, until he felt the third eye. Instantly, Tuesday Lobsang Rampa could see the aura glowing around the surrounding monks.
I had always wondered why it was always "PRYING open my third eye!!". I had always related it to the way drugs are a way of forcing the "third eye" to open, even for a brief moment. But, this operation could also be described as PRYING, couldn't it?

Kind regards,
Andy
