Is Jon Snow about to open is 3rd eye?

[King Jonboy]

Yeah, we will just see the land of always winter through bran or a epilogue

[Juan_Snow]

***Spoiler alert***

There have been two occaision we have been told of that a character opens there 3rd eye. Bran and Jojen.

Jojen-

“When I was little I almost died of greywater fever. That was when the crow came to me."

Bran-

"He came to me after I fell,” Bran blurted. “I was asleep for a long time. He said I had to fly or die, and I woke up, only I was broken and I couldn’t fly after all.”

It seems to me that the TEC/BR visits those needed for the future success of man while they are having a near death experience. Could it be with Jons situation that its time for him to truely open his 3rd eye and embrace the gifts the old gods have given to him??

I'm actually a little angry at myself that I didn't think about this. It makes perfect sense. Good observation.

[Arkantos]

Then he'll see his parents through the weirwood network just before he dies, so just because GRRM said Jon would find out who his parents are, it doesn't mean he'll survive the assassination attempt.

[pestor]

You are wrong!!!

Every human character we know that had an Earth powers seemed to get powerful after a traumtic event.

Besides Brans fall, and Jojens Greyscales.

6skin had the whole thing with the puppy, brother, sent away from his parents.

It is believe that Bloodraven powers fully came about after lost his eye.

Even to a lesser degree Arya powers seem to grow once she lost her sight and reached out and found a cat.

Becarefull, you are getting close to Heresy.....

As a Heretic, I think this was done to bring out Jons powers, the only real question to me is was it Bloodraven, Bran or the 3EC?

Im sorry I didnt presume to be correct or wrong was just making an observation, which you further conclued that a tramatic event helps awaken powers.

6skins and his family became aware of his powers when his father killed the last dog and he screamed out as the axe came down(his first death,kinda tramitic)and then was brought to or given(however you want to look at it) to Haggon.

I did not know it was widely belived that BR fully came into his powers when he lost his eye, wasnt he still master of whispers????

I also am not sure Arya understands her powers, yes she was able to see the KM thru the eyes of the cat but to me its reaching to say that see is conciously warging into the cat.

I wouldn't say it is a reach to say she is conciously warging the cat. She warged the cat first by accident it seemed, but it couldn't have been an accident that the cat was in the room with her later. She brought it back with her so she could see him before he struck her.

[sarah.jenice]

Yes, I think he is. As Bran's powers grow, I think he will be able to help his siblings awaken their warging abilities - starting with Jon.

[pestor]

I thought that the cat followed her home after the night at the inn,

The Blind Girl,ADWD

"I saw you. “I gave you three. I don’t need to give you four.” Maybe on the morrow she would tell him about the cat that had followed her home last night from Pynto’s, the cat that was hiding in the rafters, looking down on them. Or maybe not. If he could have secrets, so could she."

so imo Arya isnt sure why or how she can see thru the cats eyes

[Patrek Stark]

Never connected that myself, it makes perfect sense after you quote those two lines.

[pestor]

Arya knows she can i dont think she knows how she is though

[wighty]

Why is this the first im seeing this. he is about to get his visit maybe not the 3EC maybe Bran. and not a imposter like early in the books

[blue wolves of the north]

One skinchanger can always sense another. Mance should have let me take the direwolf. There would be a second life worthy of a king. He could have done it, he did not doubt. The gift was strong in Snow, but the youth was untaught, still fighting his nature when he should have gloried in it. Varamyr Six-skins prolouge

So?.?.?...I dont understand the importance of your quote.

that jon snow has power what he is fighting aganst and dont understand but will when the 3ec or bran helps him to figure out. If you dont understand that you should get your eyes checked

[straits]

It is very possible. Though I dread that he will be the prologue chapter for the books. Unless it was released already?

ouch, im sorry you posted a quote but didnt say as to what it pertained. Thank you for clearing it up

[Pod The Impaler]

I think it is a strong possibility. I do not think Jon will be dead, nor will he be un-dead. (We've seen a lot of characters come close at the end of chapters, and yet live.)

The Ides of Marsh conspirators will fail, and I think Jon will be badly wounded but unconscious. Like Bran, the presence of Ghost is going to keep him alive. However, the possibility that Bran or the 3EC reach out to him in his near-death state is very strong. When that happens, he may finally embrace his power as a warg, he may realize Bran is alive (along with other Starks), and may even get a glimpse of his real parentage.

[Black Wolf Smith]

Theres nothing suggesting that it could mental trauma1 that brings it on, but if it is possible, the fact Jon believes that most of his family are dead could be the trauma he needs to kickstart this, probably just wishful thinking... and i'm not sure about you but i'm under the assumption the 3EC and bloodraven are the same person!²

1. I never said Mental Trauma, I said Trauma. Every Human that we know that has an Earth Power(and for that matter water powers, Damphair and Patchface) have had something Traumamtic happen to them.

2. You are well come to believe that, I use to. If you reread the parts where Bran ask BR about the 3EC, BR not only doesn't answers the questions, he changes the subject.

Jojen's greyscale?

I had to get back to work, and rushed my posting. I changed some of my post and I put that part in last. Meant Greywater Fever.

I was joking. I have seen, and believe much of what your theory is about. My main point being that you had not gone far enough with your theory.

[Scipio Africanus]

The call came from behind him, softer than a whisper, but strong too. Can a shout be silent? He turned his head, searching for his brother, for a glimpse of a lean grey shape moving beneath the trees, but there was nothing, only . . .

A weirwood.

It seemed to sprout from solid rock, its pale roots twisting up from a myriad of fissures and hairline cracks. The tree was slender compared to other weirwoods he had seen, no more than a sapling, yet it was growing as he watched, its limbs thickening as they reached for the sky. Wary, he circled the smooth white trunk until he came to the face. Red eyes looked at him. Fierce eyes they were, yet glad to see him. The weirwood had his brother’s face. Had his brother always had three eyes?

Not always, came the silent shout. Not before the crow.

He sniffed at the bark, smelled wolf and tree and boy, but behind that there were other scents, the rich brown smell of warm earth and the hard grey smell of stone and something else, something terrible. Death, he knew. He was smelling death. He cringed back, his hair bristling, and bared his fangs.

Don’t be afraid, I like it in the dark. No one can see you, but you can see them. But first you have to open your eyes. See? Like this. And the tree reached down and touched him.

Seems to me Bran has actually gone back in time (he's looking at Ghost post DwD timeline) and helping Jon with his warging. I don't know if Brynen Rivers is looking at him too (seems so, considering the "silent shout" bit).

[Melonica Stormborn]

I'm not sure...I thought the darkness and smell of death is because Bran is hiding in the crypts, however, I am not sure if at that time he is able to see through weirwoods. Anyhow, I thought Bran can only look at events but not change them (unless it's happening in present time, I suppose).

Further explanation will be appreciated. :)

IIRC Tyryan Lannister has the theory that 3EC = Bran, so its Bran guilding Bran towards his own goals.
