Okay, I'll just say this once, and then go away, because I understand that it may be something you do not wish to hear, Yaya:
The Third Eye is a metaphor, meant to illustrate the opening of our higher awareness to mystical or transcendental things that we are not generally able to witness with our normal levels of awareness. In spite of what the guy on youtube has told you, and what you may have heard elsewhere, there is no organ sitting in your forehead that is a third eye, waiting to be opened. By extension, should you actually gain the wisdom and higher awareness to (metaphorically) open your third eye, the opening will have nothing to do with your forehead or, God help us all, the pineal gland.
Reaching a spiritual state of being that opens your third eye, metaphorically speaking, is a profound goal, and one I believe you should certainly pursue (though you ought to heed Shadowofwind's advice when he says that doing so is actually a conclusion to a long, carefully tread spiritual path, and not something you can force to happen ahead of its arrival time). I also suggest that you give folks like Robert Bruce and Samuel Sagan a little less credence, because much of what they say is meant to sell books to hopeful magical thinkers, and is not based in reality.
Now please don't misunderstand me: as Shadowofwind could probably attest, I hold great value in "opening that third eye," in developing your sense of Self and place in reality to a point where you can "see" experience that ranges far beyond our given human perception... but it simply isn't going to happen by forcing open a nonexistent object in your forehead.
Finally, I am speaking from my knowledge of the history and nature of eastern mysticism (where the third eye concept was invented, from a necessity to explain transcendental experience), and I am not expressing an opinion but a truth, based on actual things... I know that's a big no-no these days, but I felt a need to do so anyway. I hope you'll understand.
Okay, that's it... again, I understand how my post will be received by you, but I felt a need to say it, and do hope you'll consider my words; after all, they might explain the difficulties you're encountering now and the disappointment you might encounter in 30 days.
tl;dr: Try to keep in mind that the third eye is a metaphor, and not a real thing, no matter what you've heard, and "opening it" reflects a leap in spiritual awareness and not the physical movement of an eye secreted into your forehead. This leap to that state of being is certainly an incredibly valuable and in my opinion very real thing to make, but you will never make it if your focus is on a nonexistent eye in your head.
