Third Eye

The third eye (also known as the inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric concept referring in part to the ajna (brow) chakra in certain Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. It is also spoken of as the gate that leads within to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In New Age spirituality, the third eye may alternately symbolize a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply-personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with visions, clairvoyance (which includes the ability to observe chakras and auras), precognition, and out-of-body experiences, and people who have allegedly developed the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers.

In Hinduism and Buddhism, the third eye is a symbol of enlightenment (moksha and nirvana). In the Indian tradition, it is referred to as the gyananakashu, the eye of knowledge, which is the seat of the 'teacher inside' or antar-guru. The third eye is the ajna chakra (sixth chakra) also known as brow chakra or brow centre. This is commonly denoted in Indian and East Asian iconography with a dot, eye or mark on the forehead of deities or enlightened beings, such as Shiva, Buddha, or any number of yogis, sages and bodhisattvas. This symbol is called the "Third Eye" or "Eye of Wisdom," or, in Buddhism, the urna. In Hinduism, it is believed that the opening of Shiva's third eye causes the eventual destruction of the physical universe.

Reginald Theophilus the Third

Reginald is Disney's Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. Created by Bri-Chan and Rain27 for their Alice/Mad Hatter fanfiction on LJ, "When Curiosity Met Insanity (WCMI)." Reginald is known for his extreme attempts to woo Alice, an inexplicable love for tea, and obsession with hats. On Sundays, a group of fangirls will follow him around Disneyland.
Also known as El Sombrero Loco, Psycho, Squishy, Reggie, Grasshopper, Sweet, Badges, or the crazy hat man playing musical chairs at the Coca-Cola Corner.

Oh, look! Bri-Chan and Rain27 updated WCMI! Reggie's such a cutie.

OMG! Did you see Reginald today at musical chairs? His joke was hilarious!

"Mr. Theophilus-"
"The Third!"
"Stop it this instant," demanded Alice, holding back her true feelings for the poor Hatter.

Reginald Theophilus the Third is the greatest madman ever.
