The name of this chakra means "order", "control" or "authority", although it is also known as "the third eye" or "the eye of Siva". The sixth center is the seat in its subtle modality, of the cognitive faculties, such as buddhi, ahankara, manas and the senses or indriyas. As generally it is said of one who possesses powers of an extrasensory character that it is because his third eye is opened, it must be that the ajna chakra is intimately related with our psychic and intuitive capacities. It is here where attachment is transcended, the sensation of "I" and duality, as well as time and space.
