Statement: "I want to see clearly."

Explanation:
This is the center of higher intuition.  Through this chakra one can receive guidance and tune into one's higher self.  It not only has to do with psychic abilities, but being able to see the world clearly for how it is.  And being able to see oneself in the world clearly, not just how we experience it.  Creativity also comes from this chakra.

When this chakra is shut down it is often because a person is taught to fear the occult.  There is irrational fear and guilt that is created by taboos and it makes is hard for a person to get a clear perspective on whether or not a teaching is good for them, and judging becomes difficult.

When the third eye is opened we are able to merge our two views of the world:  our normal self with intellect and ego, and our higher self with the intuitive mind and spiritual feelings.  This is the meaning of self realization, and you can see your full potential.
