This book will enthral and enchant every serious spiritual seeker who wishes to know the beyond of all beyond. The Third Eye takes you beyond spirituality, distancing the self from its doing, towards a higher knowledge where you are neither the observer, knower, doer, enjoyer nor the experiencer. You are neither the physical nor that mental being, for they are but temporarily yours . . . appearing and disappearing in that ocean of awareness. You are that formless, eternal presence of universal aware energy performing the Lila of life as the witness, which radiates through its field of consciousness. In fact, you are merely an I-less state of that being-ness, the subject of observation, observing through your mind on the objects being observed.
The subject of spiritualism is indifferent to the world of emotions. It goes beyond passion and compassion into dispassion; it is sensitive to all as one. Through this sublime subject, the author takes you away from those scriptures prescribed by Krishna, Jesus, or Buddha into a state of non-being, beyond space and time, entrapped in an individualized soul—the role it plays during the making of what you are. You, as the spirit, do not transmute but only watch in silence—beyond all efforts and methods—effortlessly witnessing all that is around. This book will enthral and enchant every serious spiritual seeker, those who wish to know the beyond of all beyond.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS JOURNEY FILLED WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN ABOUT 'WHO AM I, WHAT IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE AND IS GOD AN ILLUSION' AND HOPE TO IMPART AS MUCH OF MY EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TO YOU THROUGH MY BOOKS.
"Everything that exists is not of what we see or hear from our senses but of what we are aware of. "
"The Third Eye" by Gian Kumar will lead you to the gateway of higher consciousness and spiritual awareness. Understanding the 'inner self' is very important, but it may be tough for many. This book will help you unfold your true self and assist you in inner transformation.
Spiritualism is concerned with both consciousness and awareness. This book will take you beyond where you are not a doer, enjoyer, observer, experiencer, or knower. There is no idea of 'I', 'me', or 'self'. A spiritual person remains unaffected by anything to which the mind is attached. The only and best ways to identify who we are is to observe, witness, understand, and know ourselves.
We learn about the three levels of consciousness working in the brain: the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the superconscious section. This book will help you progress towards enlightenment when you learn to free yourself from sufferings, attachments, and anxieties.
You will gain a deeper understanding of the human mind, human spirit, and the superconscious mind.
Various important quotes and teachings from the Ashtavakra Gita and Avadhuta Gita have also been included in the book.
In conclusion, I'll say that "The Third Eye" is one of the best books for guiding you on the journey to know your inner self. It will serve as a guide for those seeking to embark on a journey of inner exploration and spiritual enlightenment.
The Third Eye by Gian Kumar is quite theoretical in its approach….Kumar leans heavily on abstract concepts like consciousness, duality, and spiritual awakening, often presenting them through philosophical explanations rather than practical exercises or anecdotes.
This can make it feel more like a reflective guide to understanding spiritual theories than a step-by-step manual for transformation or activation but that is to be expected!
