Level of the board: Ajna, discernment. Row 6 of 8.
Meaning of the cell
Objects of sensory perception create a complete illusion of reality. A person attaches great importance to the objective world, and he develops a desire to identify with the objects of sensory perception. Viveka, or discernment, is the force that saves him from falling into the desire for attachment to the material. It is the voice of inner wisdom.
The sixth chakra is traditionally called the "third eye." Our two eyes see only what exists, what was in the past and what is in the present. But the "third eye" gives the power to discern future possibilities in the game.
