The
Third Eye is a religious movement that believes the true goal of
spiritual practice has been perverted; rather than seeking cosmic
meaning through understanding the gods, the members of the Third Eye
believe that the purpose of faith is apotheosis—they want to evolve
into gods and goddesses capable of reshaping the world. Agents of the
Third Eye tend to be mystically minded, and their members are
recruited from among eccentrics interested in theology, mythic
cycles, and the nature of divinity.
