Profile Summary Ajna
The uniqueness of our mind lies in its limitlessness: we can remember the past, observe the present, and anticipate the future. Our mind is designed to build concepts, invent something new, invent and create, enjoying the very process of thinking. He's great at exploring possibilities, but he's completely unsuited for making decisions.
In this Center, fears of ignorance and misunderstanding are rooted, which are expressed by anxiety and worry. But they lose their power as soon as a person realizes that the mind cannot be an internal Authority, and begins to make decisions in accordance with his Design.
Defined Ajna
В корректности The owners of a Defined Ajna have an unchanging type of thinking that is convenient for them personally. You can always rely on them and trust them, but this same certainty is limiting - after all, other ways of thinking are inaccessible to them. Such people have their own concepts, opinions and ideas, which are fun to think about, and which they either will not change at all or will change with great effort. They constantly think about something and look for new topics for reflection, love to learn and are interested in everything. So that the endless stream of thoughts and ideas does not become a problem, you can write them down or simply pronounce them to loved ones.
В некорректности When the center works incorrectly, a person feels an acute need, or even an obsession, to understand something or to get to the bottom of whatever interests them. If that does not happen, they grow anxious, keep looking for more and more data, and dig deeply into something that may not have mattered much in the first place.
Undefined Ajna
В корректности Such people are free to choose how to analyze and process information and can use them depending on the situation. How they think and interpret information depends on the people who condition them. Such people are usually open to learning, but easily distracted: they may forget to turn off the iron at home, but they cannot be called frivolous. They find it difficult to think sustainably and concretely, which may lead them to believe that there is something wrong with them, and to collect information, teachers, and concepts in order to get rid of their inner turmoil.
But the point is not to fix your mind, but to live in accordance with your Nature, being incredibly flexible and receptive. The potential of undefined Ajna is the ability to "read" the thoughts of other people, which appears when a person ceases to be identified with his mind. And if this happens in the incorrect living of his Design, such a person is able to implement the ideas and projects of people who were just next to him, without getting any pleasure or benefit from it.
В некорректности When lived incorrectly, this center can create anxiety and fear, driving the person to collect books, knowledge, and teachers, and to keep convincing others that they're right. All of this serves to build an outward image of confidence, since inwardly they have none. Such a person is able to carry out other people's ideas and projects while getting neither pleasure nor benefit from it. The fear of being unable to rely on their own mind subsides only when the person realizes that they're not their mind and learns to rely on their Authority and Strategy.
Open Ajna
В корректности When there is not a single certainty in this Center and there are no active Gates, a person does not know what and how to think about. If he lives his Design incorrectly, he can completely rely on other people (deities, authorities), who tell him what to do. He is constantly proving something to himself or others, looking for and not finding the truth on which to rely.
In correctness, the Open Ajna has simply amazing potential: such a mind can learn to think in all possible ways, understand any point of view, it is curious and interested in everything. His gift is to rejoice in the very fact of knowledge, the process of thinking, philosophy, history and science. He was simply created in order to be free from stereotypes and prejudices and to share with other people the breadth of views that are available to him all at once.
Do not forget that the consequences and nature of the conditioning of your undefined or open Centers by the people around you and planetary transits directly depend on the correctness of your living your Design!
В некорректности When lived incorrectly, a person simply does not know what to think about, or how. They may rely entirely on outside authorities — the opinions of experts or spiritual teachers, books and sacred scriptures — constantly prove something to themselves and others, and search for a truth they can rely on without ever finding it. In such a case two things can help: giving up the very idea of seeming clever or certain about anything, and accepting both the inconsistency and the flexibility of their thinking as gifts.
Keep in mind that the consequences and nature of the conditioning of your undefined or open Centres by the people around you and planetary transits directly depend on the correctness of your living your Design!
