No the 3rd eye doesn't really "see" it is a place in your brain that you can "teach" to see, hear, sense, etc. It's really hard to explain. People think that we are using our other senses...Say smelling perfume. But do you often ask someone "OH! Do you smell that?" and they don't. It is because it's not our nose.. It's in our mind. Seeing the past is the same. We are energy beings. Here many lifetimes. We can access our past just as we can see our potential futures.
