I am not saying that all the 3-patterned structures occurring in all life forms represent a tale-tell sign that all life forms follow a 3-patterned developmental course that will lead them to their species-specific model of "enlightenment" synonymous with that which humanity strives for. But I am saying that the recurrence of the 3-patterned sequences found in multiple subjects is an indication that humans repeatedly perceive this pattern though it may be little more than a projection of a widely occurring internalized orientation which surfaces in different guises which is often misinterpreted and is frequently subjected to those who become so overwhelmed they believe they have been touched by a spirit, are having a Revelation, an Epiphany, an other-worldy illumination or interpret it in a negatively personalized devaluation of themselves or someone near to them... perhaps labeling themselves or another as evil, insane, lost cause, or some other disparagement relative to their circumstances.
What many of us are seeing is a recurring pattern that is being rejected by many institutions and individuals who not only like to disagree and even disparage, but will offer advice... frequently at a cost, for you to take a path which coincides with their world-view so as to make them feel safe, secure and belong to a social orientation where others share in their model of agreed upon propriety and ideal correctness... typically aligned with a practiced system of Persistent Dichotomies. Western Religions, Eastern philosophies, Education systems, Mathematics, Psychology and multiple other agencies of brain washing currency do not want you to make the correlations I am sharing, for fear you will take the concurrency to heart and pay witness to the delusions of duality which they are offering as a recipe for assisting them in maintaining control so as to perpetuated the widespread indentured servitudes by which they accumulated those who will die for their absurdities and will relinquish body, mid, soul, property, and financial support. Oh yes, they are slick. They may say you can believe whatever you want, so long as it abides to their allowances. If you are to recognize the repetition of a given pattern and claim it has or may have greater potential and possibility than that which is taught, they may well engage in one or another hardship directly or indirectly so as to force you to comply with their views, and they never say a word... so as to use this absence of word as evidence they would not be engaged in a enforcement, when in actuality, they are primary perpetrator and enforcer. They don't want you to see the world in threes and the many transmutations of inter-connectivity found in different subjects. They prefer you to see the world in dualities. Or if you persistent in a threes world-view, it must be their way so as to maintain dominance and control.
Whether in vocal behavior, posture, ideological orientations, ceremonialism, use of jewelry, makeup, tattoos, candles, incense, garments, geometric outlines, texts, sacrifice or otherwise; those whose 3rd eye has begun to awaken are initiated into the recognition and acknowledgment of the "3" which comes in multiple forms and appears in multiple subjects as well as all life forms in what appears to be a spectrum of expression from the primitive to the more advanced stages of development. The "3rd Eye" as millions of humans reference their own acknowledgment of seeking beyond the conventions of perceived existence, is expressed in all life forms in the basic shape of a 3-patterned code called DNA or the use of Adenosine -3- (Tri) Phosphate as the primary energy molecule, though there are other 3-patterned biological processes at work in different life forms such as the basic Head- Thorax- Abdomen design of multiple insects. If one truly has an open mind, then they should not be particularly overwhelmed to discover that as one examines life from the simple to more complex forms, there are features which seem to correlate with humanity's own orientation of a potential for enhancement, relative to the life form's physiological dimensions of practicality. In other words, there are limitations to be described for how much and how far a given species can excel in terms the average, conventional human consciousness can understand. While it is a guess to say that all life forms have their own measures of spirituality which they may or may not strive to practice or much less exceed, the idea is philosophically easy to understand if for nothing more than a conversational lip service to be paid.
However, setting aside such speculative considerations of other animate and inanimate forms of matter, an obsession of one's interest in achieving some personal transcendence over the commonality of existence, need not be strangled by the conventions of Western religion, Eastern philosophy nor the Esotericisms of secretive Sects, Druidic, Pagan, Wiccan, Masonic, or the darker spheres of inquiry and ceremonialized investigations. While each of them have their respective valuations, all of them typically constrain themselves with practicing ideological considerations from past observations of those who wrote down their interpretations and may have egotistically described as a sacred text. Such researchers fail to consider that those in the past were working with a consciousness that is evolutionarily more simple-minded than the potential which later born adherents are in possession of, yet do not customarily make use of because they are fearful of venturing into that realm which their fore-bearers sought, but were not psychically capable of visualizing the aura-laden imagery nor psychologically able to make the transition into a far reaching explanatory realization which enables one in viewing the past as a void, a wasteland, a desert they need no longer abide by with the reverence applied by those in the past whose limits of experiencing revelation were many-fold. The languages of the past had limited vocabularies and thus were limited in their ability to make the necessary deductive reasoning from which the more appropriate rationale could emerge for them to take a step forward and embrace an enhanced spirituality and higher consciousness whose existence can not be immersed in while being tethered to ideological constraints reminiscent of illusionary absent-mindedness, often observed in those with an adolescent obsession in their regurgitated consciousness of sexuality and gender, even though they may hypocritically reference themselves as an awakening and advanced 3rd species!
For those who have reached a stage in the development of their 3rd Eye's Consciousness (let us fore-shorten this to a "3rd consciousness" identity) and are consciously aware of how the presence of the "3" appears to play a recurring and prominent role, let me exercise a review of this pathway of thought:

Use of a red turmeric dot known as kumkuma, is believed to amplify the properties of the 3rd eye (bindi) which elevates the center of intuition and inner wisdom to enhance spiritual energy, focus, and connection to the divine (3rd) consciousness; while 3 dots in the form of a triangle used in conjunction with the A-U-M (or other 3-patterned) mantra, is said to magnify this on the physiological plane via the sensitivities and sensibilities attributed to the light sensitive pineal gland, and revels a succession of 3 doorways sometimes witnessed in the 3 phases of out-of-body projection alternatively called a soul journey, spiritual travel or transcendental surfing episode, but may in fact represent a developmental shift in human consciousness from an institutionalized practice and expectation of duality into a state of tripartition:
- 3 levels of out of body experiences:
- Out of body but remain in one's immediate plane of reference. (One's own room.)
- Out of body but remain on or near Earth. (Outside one's living structure.)
- Out of body in the astral (amongst the stars) plane.
Western civilization experiences into the 3rd eye realm by way of Pagan (including druidic) as well as Wiccan transmutations... can be unnerving to the novice and those unprepared for a journey they may inadvertently stumble onto and get lost in the metaphorically described 3 labyrinthine concentricities whose reverberations can undulate the sensibilities of one's body, mind and spirituality; which some people may not be seasoned nor enculturated enough to control the released energies and require the services of a no non-sense spiritual, metaphysical and physical plane guide to assist them in navigating back to a manageable groundedness... for which, when better prepared, allows them to regain the necessary footing and provisions for their individualized journey henceforth.
- 3 -in- 1 types of body view in Yoga are redefined here:
- Physical body (That which we are most familiar with in a strict biological sense of existence.)
- Astral body: (This is suspiciously Misnamed and exhibits a profound ignorance... "Astral" relates to stars, thus this body type requires a better label to reference acknowledging physiological states of being such as pain, love, sorrow, etc...)
- Causal body: alternatively called the seed body, and is more inline with the notion of past lives, reincarnation, an archetypal orientations than it does with basic biological processes in terms of Evolution and the value of the 3 germ layers due to complexity.
- Multiple personally contextual experiences are over-looked representations of out-of-body impressions.
- The "zone" experienced by many athletes is a transitional phase of an out-of-body experience.
- Alien abduction scenarios may well be a misinterpreted transitional phase of an out-of-body experience.
- Mesmerized states of wistfulness while watching flames or a flickering light may be a transitional phase of an out-of-body experience.
- Falling in an apparent slow motion is a transitional phase of an out-of-body experience.
- Having a "movie-like" or surreal encounter is a transitional phase of an out-of-body experience.
- Awakening in a physiological mode of sleep constraint is a transitional phase of an out-of-body experience.
- It is a widespread misunderstanding that out-of-body experiences can only take place in postured moments of composure, such as laying down or sitting in some ritualized time and place such as a routinized bath, bed, breakfast or riding a bus; which are alternatively defined in terms of places which generate creative ideas... thus suggesting creativity has some link with the out-of-body transcendental highway.
- Out-of-body episodes represent dynamic (full of motion) and not static (motionless) expressions.
- Nothingness, such as in an artificially constructed enclosed space (such as a sensory isolation tank) can set the stage for producing out-of-body experiences relative to this model of deprivation.
- Somethingness, or some variation thereof that we are normally exposed to, can set the stage for producing out-of-body experiences relative to this model of sensory overload, intermittancy, or convolutions.
- Variations in Nothingness and Somethingness can produce variations of out-of-body exposure that most people apparently take for granted and need to be trained to detect in any appreciable sense, though none of which may be "THE" model of out-of-body experience sought by those searching for some heightened magnitude of an exceptional brand of higher state of being and consciousness.


The dot on the forehead illustrating an attempted connection with the 3rd eye also is related to the light sensitive organ called the Pineal (pine-shaped) gland. While the use of a single dot is customary, Nature illustrates that the use of 3 dots has a value not customarily recognized by humans as described by this configuration in the world of insects called Ocelli. The role of Both the light sensitive pineal gland and light sensitive Ocelli used for orientation and direction need to be seen in the same context:

Looking for a representative model of the triangle with or without a connection to three dots, I came across a few authors addressing this theme (though there are multiple others):
- Three Dots in a Triangle Spiritual Meanings by Amelia Thompson, Nov. 4, 2022
- Spiritual Meanings of Three Dots in A Triangle & Symbolism by Patricia Brooks, Feb. 1, 2025
- 14 Spiritual Meanings of Triangle (Symbolism) by Spirit Animal Test
- A comment on: Does anyone know what the three black dots in a triangular shape represent?, provides this explanation of three dots: "3 represents the 3 directions from which obstacles come your way, in Hinduism. For example; when you do Yagnas, or mantras, you'd often say Om Shanti, while saying the last word 3 times. The 3 directions are swarg (heavens above you), patal (the world below you) and and prithvi (around you). The 3 dots imply that you are now protected against evil. The whole concept of evil eye got mixed with Central Asian concepts during Middle Ages."
In context for our present usage, it appears that the notion of an Evil Eye may pre-date the notion of a 3rd Eye. Then again, let us consider that the evil eye is the originating influence of the 3rd Eye similar to the view of disputations between Cain and Abel as the 1st two sons of Adam and Eve... all because of God's preference for Abel's sheep over Cain's crops, which is a story more about the mentality of the people who created the story and their preferences, including the introduction of desired male children over females. Notwithstanding differences in interpretation of the storyline, the point is not only the presence of a mindset of contrasting dualities (Adam/Eve, Cain/Abel, animal husbandry/agriculture), but the presence of an acknowledge difference in perception describing the presence of consciousness as it was practiced in a distant age. In other words, while a contrast is acknowledged, this does not necessarily mean that consciousness as it is described in today's terms, was the common rationale of those in the deep past, even if many today mistakenly interpret the conceptualizations of those in the past as being equal to the consciousness exhibited today. If you look at the idea of an Evil Eye as a precursor to the development of the 3rd Eye reference, then we might also consider that the Evil Eye was part of a distantly past mindset of duality and its adherence to standards of superstition, magico-religious inferences, as well as other illusions, delusions, neuroticisms, and psychosis, some of which were no doubt due to diet and communally created madness and expectation of conduct. In short, the old Evil Eye was linked to a cultural orientation in which a worldview of duality was paramount and the later born development of a 3rd eye concept was a step in the direction of Trichotomization.

As might be expected from the dichotomous orientations of humanity, the concept of an "evil eye" is counterpart to the good/great 3rd Eye. Here are some AI views (along with its supplementary Deep Dive option ) from the Opera browser:


With respect to the alignment of the 3 dots and triangle to the concept of the 3rd idea, for want of a better term to use to describe a developmental 3rd consciousness as it takes place on a collectively individual basis; the term "spirituality" is used and is assigned to some religion or philosophy, and typically associated with some commercial orientation and attempted exploitation; and widely accepted as the standard model for offering a given perspective... without which the commercial entrepreneurs will attempt to discredit any effort to look differently at the concepts which they peddle as a carpet bagging, snake oil mixture. Quite often, much like those peddling some variation of prognostication (such as a crystal ball, tarot cards, Numerology, Scientology, Religion, or Astrology), we can see themes of interpretation such as we see in those offering others a list of possibilities to be considered by someone's respective circumstances and believability. For example, with respect to someone who repeatedly sees that which another might describe as a symbol or symbolism, permit me to supply a short caption of alternative interpretations regarding one's acknowledgment for encountering what they think illustrates some repeating "message" from a dead person, an angel, a spirit, a god, or whatever entity is foremost on the mind of someone, regarding the three dots and triangle which they ma or may not personalize and embrace:
- A connection with the Christian Trinity or Hindu Trimurti.
- Symbolizes balance and the relationship between mind- body- spirit.
- Represents a message from spirit guide, whatever shape and matter one is disposed to accept.
- An unfolding enlightenment.
- An awaiting journey or as a signpost on a journey.
- You Have An Important Mission In Life.
- You Have Divine Protection.
- Change Is Imminent or taking place.
- It's a message from the universe
- etc...
There are multiple others and represent a very large grab bag of possibilities that churches have compiled by way of confessionals. However, the one item which should be included in every single list is:
- None of the above.
The concept of the 3rd Eye may be nothing more than a crude symbol. A metaphor of acknowledging the impressions of an underlying developmental trend of a given person's consciousness that no present day explanation can begin to provide the desired enlightenment of understanding what is taking place in what appears to be individualized experiences much like a group of people who exercise differently and have a specialized diet or not. While many 3rd Eye Enthusiasts do reach some semblance of a contemplative "zone", and others venture into one another episodic conclusion that there is no gain without pain (suffering/deprivation/ or even desperation), only a few truly step beyond their practiced stride and exceed the boundary in which they define as that which is best for them, through a system of raionalizations best suited for providing them with an alibi for whatever they chose or don't chose to explore in the psychic realm without some typically undefined crutch.

I place this consideration in the list because every single list I have encountered is a variation of others as if hearing a story that has been slightly altered because it exists as a word-of-mouth refrain. None of the suggestions may have anything whatsoever to do with you, if you are actually on a journey of developing a 3rd Eye Consciousness (3rd Consciousness) which is unfolding as an expression of an actual biologically based evolutionary theme which is not even on the radar of most people. While many people are familiar with the idea of a Triune brain and its expressed three-part succession of development, though later research has identified overlaps, only a few may be aware of the research involving the origination of consciousness.
While Maclean's idea is largely discredited as a simplification of a complex brain structure and development, the point is he did use a 3-part illustration. Likewise, when viewing the following article about researchers who have identified what clearly appears to be a 3-step generalization of consciousness development over an Evolutionary time-scale, we have to ask why three? Why not focus on the pattern of some other researcher who prefers to play a game of one-upmanship and name more than three parts of the brain, types of intelligence, or some other consideration, and yet may never have once taken stock of the recurrence of the multiplicity of Threes in Anatomy compiled by Dr. McNulty and Associates.
Knowledge of the 3rd Eye concept is presently viewed in a very childish way by most people. When we apply to it the view of a 3rd consciousness possibility, the present standards of thinking about the 3rd Eye begin to fall apart as an admission of ignorance with respect to developmental biology's role in the formation of a conceptual leap into a new paradigm of what enlightenment actually means. Enough of the 3rd Eye snake oil selling routine. This goes for the shoddy ideologies being espoused by the Wiccan, Pagan, Druidic and other vagaries of seeking some measure of personal growth being shared in a commercially driven collectivity. Most of them are just charlatans comparable to those found in Western religions and Eastern philosophies and play the role commensurate with door to door vacuum cleaner, and used car sales personnel.
Evidence for the possibility that the 3rd Eye concept is a symbolic reference to a developmental shift taking place with consciousness of humanity, can well explain why there are differences of embraced opinion of how people are interpreting impressions of the developmental shift no only because of education and experiences, but by people having to wade through so much information about the 3rd Eye which does not contain an appreciation that a developmental shift in consciousness is a possibility and a very real probability of we make a comparison with other 3-patterned biologically occurring formations such as the recognition animal life forms from the simple to more complex successively use 1- 2- 3 Germ layers with the terms "Diploblastic" for two layers, "Triploblastic" for 3 layers, and the existence of a propose "Monoploblastic" developmental state occurring with sponges is disputed by some. Nonetheless, the more complex life forms develop from three layers and less complex life forms from fewer than three. Indeed, when we look at life we see a succession of triple groups as if Nature engages in the usage of a place value notation system where groups of three are repeated: (After Every Third).
Here is an article describing a 3-part ordered development of what we today think conscious is: Scientists Think They Know Where Consciousness Lives In Your Brain by Elizabeth Rayne,
- Here's what you'll learn when you read this story:
- It used to be thought that without the cerebral cortex, consciousness could not exist.
- New research, however, has found that humans and animals missing part or all of their cortices are still capable of having experiences associated with consciousness.
- This research suggests that consciousness instead originates in the subcortex, and is polished by the cortex and cerebellum.

While the similarities between the light sensitive organ of humans and insects is quite remarkable, if we permit ourselves some extended latitude and venture into the realm of plants, notwithstanding the common quantity of 3 trigger hairs on the lobes of Venus fly traps (Dionaea muscipula) to indicate the presence of that which can not otherwise be seen but desired, we might well find an interesting correlation with respect to how plants utilize a source of light to produce energy. Similarly, the overall picture is much like the invisible realm of a higher consciousness which most people are in the dark about, even when they speak of seeking "en-lightenment" as if a higher domain of consciousness is somehow primarily associated with that which we call light; while most wander about like the blind wise-men trying to describe an elephant, as depicted in John Godfrey Saxe's 19th century poem The Blind Men and the Elephant.
In other words, if not light than some human labeled go-between like Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Hectate or other animate/inanimate "channeler" of sought after higher spiritual energy ("power") related to various descriptions involving enlightenment... though some turn to the use of a dichotomous mindset and think to harness a believed-in counterpart called dark energy or dark matter, if only one could find the RIGHT ingredients (thoughts, expressions, deeds, postures, feeling, diet, reverence, etc...) for conjuring up either the white or darker sources of universal energy, with the Universe now claiming three types of matter:
- Normal Matter: Comprises the visible objects we can observe, such as stars, planets, and humans. It consists of atoms made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Dark Matter: Comprises about 27% of the universe, which does not interact with light and is not detectable by our technology.
- Dark Energy: Comprises about 68% of the universe, which is responsible for the accelerated expansion of space.
In other words, not only do we see ourselves and insects seeking nourishment from a light-appended energy source, but we can see this in plants by way of an examination of Photosynthesis... which is the "religion" of plants in seeking a higher state of energy, typically the 3-molecule type called ATP. By such an exercised model of that which can be described as a ceremonially-driven practice which provides plants with the energy rich ATP (Adenosine-TRI-phosphate) molecule which is the dominate of three (AMP- ADP- ATP); we humans find ourselves at a discernible cross-road in our efforts to reach a destination thought to exist beyond the human realm. Let us take a look at photosynthesis and add it to the intellectual tools for seeking an enhanced enlightenment. Plants, like humans as well as insects, use three-pattern models in attempts to reach a higher source of energized enlightenment:
- 1st image is about photosynthesis
- 2nd image is the "Deep Dive" option for the same query
- 3rd image shows tripartite view of two stages.



Because so many researchers have been schooled into using a dichotomous-oriented world-view, the introduction of a three-part realization may be so unaccustomed to their sensibilities that they reject it outright, if not become vehemently against any such perspective. The Persistence of Dichotomies is a very real obstacle some people strive their whole lives to overcome by adopting various three-pattern ideologies without actually developing a grasp of trichotomization as a developmental trend of human consciousness.
