I fuxx with Rakim, Wu Tang , Joey Badass and a host of others who have name dropped the term "3rd Eye" yet when Rakim first tried to break down what the "3rd Eye" was on the song "The Ghetto" he was a bit off(I wont even go into the part of that song where he refers to himself as "the asian")....and most rappers who speak on the "3rd Eye" usually have it mixed up.
Way before Taoism or Hinduism there was the Kemetian Tree Of Life
The 3rd Eye is the Tehuti faculty(2nd spehere) on the Tree Of Life. But this faculty can only be obtained once man has absolute control over his lower faculties which are: 10th sphere = Physical, 9th sphere = ego, 8th sphere Mans Earthly Knowledge, 7th sphere = mans imagination, 6th sphere = Mans will, 5th sphere = divine justice, 4th sphere, divine law, 3rd sphere, divine power...Once these favculties have been mastered then can one obtain access to the Tehuti faculty which is "Divine knowledge" (The 1st Sphere is Divine man aka Ausar aka Osirus aka Nirvana aka Bhudda aka Being Christlike)
Acoording to the Tree Of Life, no one can gain access to the 2nd faculty until they have completely mastered sphere's 10 - 3 first and this can only be done when man has mastered controlling his lower desires as well as being excelled at stilling his mind thru meditation.
Most people have confused the 3rd Eye with "The Minds Eye" which is really the Het Heru faculty ( 7th sphere on the Tree Of Life) This is your "imagination" not the 3rd eye. In the metaphoric story of Ausar(Osirus), Heru (Horus) cannot beat Set (Satan) until his destroyed Eye is restored by Tehuti(Toth). This is where the universal symbol of The Eye Of Horus comes from.
But the symbol is really metaphoric for how man cannot gain divine wisdom unless he has mastered his lower facilities. In other words..if your body is filled with junkfood and lack of excercise...Your ego has you really feeling yourself based on your earhtly accomplishments...Your Eartly knowledge(Sebek) has you thinking u know everything...Your imagination(Het Heru) is filled with nonsense, foolishness and sex and your will (Heru/Horus)is only moving towards your lower desires...The Divine Justice(Herukhuti) will not let you enter into the divine plane to where divine law(Maat) allows you to move upwards into the tree of life to where you can gain access to divine power(Seker) followed by Divine Knowledge/wisdom(Tehuti/Toth) so that you can return to your original self which is Divine man(Ausar/Osirus). When man finally reaches the level of Ausar/Osirus, this is the true meaning of reaching what Buddhism refers to as "Nirvana." This is also the true meaning of what Christians refer to as "Being Christ like"
Egyptian influence is so strong that even the founding fathers of the USA had to acknowledge it by putting the animal symbol of Horus/Heru(The Eagle which coincidentally is also the National Bird of The USA) as well as the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill. They knew that mans will has divine powers to accomplish what it conceives. Your will is your highest power possible.
Also, if you notice on the Tree Of Life...Sphere 1, 2 and 3 are shaped like a pyramid. SMH @ the historic detractors saying that the shape of the pyramids is a mystery...NO!! The shape of the Pyramids represents Sphere's 1, 2 and 3 from The Tree Of Life.
