Third Eye on the Prize
Welcome to Third Eye on the Prize
A portal for presence in a world addicted to appearances.
Short honest talks on the perplexing, splendid mess of being a human right now.
Increasing numbers of us are having awakening experiences, getting glimpses into the truth that spiritual masters have been telling us about for centuries: that we’re not really separate from one another or the rest of Creation; the separateness is an illusion.
This is not easy to digest but it’s a central paradox of life: we have one reality in this body that exists in time and is dissolving and another one beyond it, beyond body, personality, and personal story.
How do we navigate this duality in a practical way? By walking what’s called the Middle Path or the Middle Way, a central idea in the Buddhist tradition. But we don’t have to be Buddhists to apply this wisdom in daily life. We do, however, have to practice, as best we can, being present, not getting lost in memories from the past or thoughts about the future, not getting stuck grasping at things or pushing them away.
I’m Debra Sansone, poet, artist, and teacher, and host of Third Eye on the Prize.

Third Eye on the Prize
The Intelligence of the Membrane
There’s a lot of turbulent energy in the world right now — and most of us feel it, whether we want to or not. But how do we stay open without getting overwhelmed?
In this episode of Third Eye on the Prize, Debra explores what she calls “the intelligence of the membrane” — the innate ability to know what to let in and what to release. Through personal story, spiritual insight, and deep honesty, she invites us to practice the art of feeling emotions fully without feeding their destructive energy.
Drawing on wisdom from Eckhart Tolle and Pema Chödrön — and a powerful story about inherited anger and compassion — Debra reveals how awareness can interrupt generational patterns and transform pain into presence.
This is spiritual warrior work: learning to feel without fueling, staying open yet protected, and trusting that with each act of awareness, the poison dilutes and the light grows stronger.
"If I feel more and feed less, even a tiny bit, I'm going in the right direction."
