Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube spiritual podcast (host Josh Trent and a guest) discussing how continual external visual stimulus—phones, social media, open eyes during practices—can inhibit the 'third eye' (pineal/pituitary) and spiritual perception, causing atrophy of inner-seeing when unused. The speaker contrasts closed-eye inner work (breathwork, meditation) with processing external reality and notes emotional blockages (heart chamber metaphors).

Chapters

How does society and our phones and social media, how does that block our third eye? Specifically when.
Our eyes, our human eyes are open and receiving stimulus all the time, that in itself is blocking the pituitary and the pineal gland. If the human eyes are always open, then third eye never gets a chance to bring in information. We don't get to see through that perspective. During breathwork, same thing. People are opening their eyes. I'm like, well, then you are processing your, your external reality through what you can see rather than closing your eyes and seeing what's inside. Oh, I see this chamber of my heart that's got cobwebs around it because I closed that off because of this pain or here's this rage or here's this truth or here's this vision. And so when we don't use our third eye, when we don't connect with our crown, it's kind of like not using a muscle, it begins to atrophy.
