The '''two-petalled lotus flower''', the so-called '''brow chakra''' or '''forehead chakra''' ({{Sanskrit|आज्ञा}} ''Ājñā'' [{{IPA|aːɟɲaː}}] "the perceiving"), also known as the '''third eye''' or the '''spiritual eye''', is one of the seven [[chakra]]s, the main soul organs of perception in the human [[astral body]]. It is located just above the root of the nose. It is set into action when the [[consciousness soul]] is transformed into the [[imagination soul]]. In the course of the modern [[Rosicrucian path of spiritual training]], it is activated as the first soul organ of perception. Its two wings or leaves then first point gropingly like two astral tentacles into the soul's outer world. When what they experience begins to be imprinted in the etheric body, imaginative cognition, conscious astral clairvoyance, lights up. Although other lotuses also convey imaginative experiences, the two-petalled lotus is nevertheless the main sense of [[imagination]].

The concept of the "spiritual eye" goes back at least to [[w:Cicero|Cicero]], who speaks of the '''mentis oculi''' in his discussion of the appropriate use of the simile by the speaker.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/deoratorelibr00cice/page/535/mode/2up Cicero: ''De Oratore'', Liber III: XLI: 163].</ref> However, Cicero clearly does not refer to a real spiritual faculty of perception, as it is only given by the imagination, but to a sensual faculty of imagination that is as concrete as possible. For parables, he recommends speakers to use vivid images from their own experience and not those they have merely heard of, {{"|''for the eyes of the spirit are more easily directed to the objects we have seen than to those we have only heard''}}.<ref>{{"|''Facilius enim ad ea, quae visa, quam ad illa, quae audita sunt, mentis oculi feruntur.''}}, [https://archive.org/details/ciceroonoratorya00ciceuoft/page/239/mode/2up?view=theater J. S. Watson (trans. and ed.): ''Cicero on Oratory and Orators'', Harper & Brothers, (New York), 1875: Book III, C.XLI, p.239].</ref> [[Rudolf Steiner]] now explains that [[sensual perception]], the [[sensual imaginative faculty]] and real [[imagination]], which is a non-sensory, purely mental perception, actually make use of the same mental organ, namely precisely the two-leaved lotus flower, albeit in quite different ways. When the activity of the two-petalled lotus located between the eyebrows turns ''inwards'', the capacity for external, sensual perception arises. When its "astral tentacles" turn ''outwards'', imagination arises. {{GZ||115|54}}

The two-petalled lotus flower also marks the '''I-point''' through which self-awareness ({{Sanskrit|अहंकार}} ''ahaṃkāra'', literally: "I-maker", from ''ahaṃ'' "I, ego" and ''kāra'' "making", from the root ''kṛ'' (kri) "doing", from which the term "[[karma]]" is also derived) awakens.

At the same time as the two-petalled lotus flower, the [[throat chakra]], the 16-petalled lotus flower, which mainly conveys [[inspiration]], is also trained to a certain degree in modern [[initiation]], so that a certain basic understanding and a corresponding orientation in what is seen [[clairvoyance|clairvoyantly]] is possible. That is why both lotuses were depicted in the middle section of the red west window of the first [[Goetheanum]], which was intended to artistically represent the experience of [[imagination]].

According to the findings of the German mystic and [[w:Jakob Böhme|Jakob Böhme]] disciple [[w:Johann Georg Gichtel|Johann Georg Gichtel]], the forehead chakra interacts with the [[Jupiter sphere]]. According to [[yoga]] teachings, its colour is indigo blue.

In [[w:Egyptian mythology|Egyptian mythology]], the "third eye" is symbolised by the [[w:Uraeus|Uraeus]] serpent.
