Uchnîcha
(Sk.)

Also: • Buddhôchnîcha •

Explained as “a protuberance on Buddha’s cranium, forming a hair‐tuft ”. This curious description is given by the Orientalists, varied by another which states that Uchnîcha was “originally a conical or flame‐shaped hair tuft on the crown of a Buddha, in later ages represented as a fleshy excrescence on the skull itself ”. This ought to read quite the reverse; for esoteric philosophy would say: Originally an orb with the third eye in it, which degenerated later in the human race into a fleshy protuberance, to disappear gradually, leaving in its place but an occasional flame‐ coloured aura, perceived only through clairvoyance, and when the exuberance of spiritual energy causes the (now concealed) “third eye to radiate its superfluous magnetic power. At this period of our racial development, it is of course the “Buddhas” or Initiates alone who enjoy in full the faculty of the “third eye” , as it is more or less atrophied in everyone else. (TG).
