Pineal Gland (Spirituality)

The famous philosopher Descartes described the pineal gland as the “principal seat of the soul.” You’ve probably heard of this gland being the “third eye,” a mystical chakra point residing right in the middle of your eyebrows. It turns out these ideas aren’t too far off. The small, rice-sized, pinecone-shaped endocrine organ known as the pineal gland sits alone in the middle of the brain and at the same level as the eyes.


What Does the Pineal Gland Do?

How you think and feel every day depends on the pineal gland. As the producer of the hormone melatonin, the quality and duration of your sleep relies on how well it produces this hormone. This tiny organ regulates your daily and seasonal circadian rhythms, the sleep-wake patterns that determine your hormone levels, stress levels, and physical performance.

The Secret : What they don’t want you to KNOW!

Every human being’s Pineal Gland or The third eye can be activated to spiritual world frequencies and enables you to have the sense of all knowing, godlike euphoria and oneness all around you. A pineal gland once tuned into to proper frequencies with help of meditation, yoga or various esoteric, occult methods, enables a person to travel into other dimensions, popularly known as astral travel or astral projection or remote viewing.

With more advance practice and ancient methods it is also possible to control the thoughts and actions of people in the physical world. Yes, it is bizarre, but the United States, former Soviet Union governments and various shadow organization have been doing this type of research for ages and have succeed far beyond our imagination.

Pineal Gland is represented in Catholicism in Rome; they depict the pineal as a pine cone in art. The ancient societies like the Egyptians and the Romans knew the benefits and exemplified this in their vast symbologies with a symbol of an eye.

Pineal Gland reference is also in back of the U.S. dollar bill with what is called the ‘all seeing eye’, which is a reference to the ability of an individual (or group of individuals) to use this gland and go to the other side (spiritual world) and possibly control the thoughts and actions of people in the physical world by knowing what they are thinking at all times in our physical world.

Various research being conducted so far confirms that there are certain periods in the night, between the hours of one and four in the morning where chemicals are released in the brain that bring about feelings of connectedness to one’s higher source.


Pineal Gland in Culture & Religion


Buddhism

The third eye is known as the middle eye of Shiva in Buddhism. Furthermore, images and statues of the Buddha show him with a pinecone-like covering on top of his head. In Buddhist meditation, one of the objectives is to activate the third eye in order to become aware of the experience of the primary reality.

Christianity

The symbol of the pineal gland is the pine cone, since this is relatively how it appears in its physical form deep inside the brain. It is so revered by the Vatican that a special Vatican court had been built called the ‘Court of the Pine Cone’ where the world’s largest pineal gland symbol is on display. The symbol of the pine cone, which is representative of the pineal gland, is found on the staff of the Pope. The teacher Jesus told individuals that “the eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.” This referred to the internal third eye that sees out into the higher and more subtle forms of energy and Reality.

Ancient Egypt

The third eye is known as the Eye of Horus or the Eye of Osiris. According to Egyptian mythology, Nekhebit, the Vulture Goddess was a maternal Earth Mother symbolizing regeneration of life, from death comes life, as the vulture is one of the few animals that can mainly subsists on bodies of animals that would poison others. Uatchet, the Snake Goddess, was venerated as a fertility goddess, snakes lay many eggs, and as protection from snakes.

These two goddess became the part of the crown over the third eye. Later, the snake goddess became associated with the Serpent Fire whose it’s power came out at the third eye, instead of the top of the head which became associated with another god. Modern scholars and philosophers have noted the staff’s symbolic parallels to the Indian Kundalini, a spiritual energy in the body depicted as coiled serpents rising up from the base of the spine to the pineal gland in the moment of enlightenment.

Ancient Greece

Ancient Greeks believed the pineal gland to be our connection to the “Realms of Thought”. Galen (~130-210 CE) discussed the pineal gland in the eigth book of his anatomical work On the usefulness of the parts of the body. He explained that it owes its name (glandula pinealis) to its resemblance in shape and size to the nuts found in the cones of the stone pine. He called it a gland because of its appearance and said that it has the same function as all other glands of the body, namely to serve as a support for blood vessels.

Iamblichus repeats the statement of Plato that the study of the science of numbers tends to awaken that organ in the brain which the ancients described as the “eye of wisdom”, the organ now known to physiology as the pineal gland. Speaking of the mathematical disciplines, Plato says in the Republic (Book VII), “the soul through these disciplines has an organ purified and enlightened, an organ better worth saving than ten thousand corporeal eyes, since truth becomes visible through this alone.”

Dionysus, later known as Bacchus to the Romans, was continually depicted carrying a “Thyrsus,” a fennel staff woven with ivy and leaves and topped with a pinecone. The Thyrsus, purported to drip with honey, was regularly used as a sacred instrument at religious rituals and fetes.

Hinduism

In Hinduism, the third eye is the eye of clairvoyance. Hindus wear the Tilak, which is the red spot located between the brows. Symbolically, it is used to represent enlightenment. Hindu sacred texts describe the deity Shiva as possessing a third eye. The third eye in the center of the forehead symbolizes spiritual knowledge and power, and is thus called the eye of wisdom or knowledge. According to the texts, the powerful gaze of Shiva’s third eye annihilates evil, and thus the evil-doers fear his third eye.


Benefits of activating your pineal gland/third eye.

A lot of people believe that the third eye functions as a spiritual gateway through which you can see beyond time and space. In short, activating the third eye, your perceptions exceed the limits of the material, physical word and the mind awakens and connects you to levels of being where time doesn’t exist. And this leads to a number of great advantages:

1. Greater awareness / Awakening.

Awakening your third eye metaphysically opens our eyes from a deep spiritual lethargy. This allows us to begin to perceive the “truth” that surrounds us.

What this means is that you will begin to see the world we live in is full of control and inequality and is not in harmony with the rest of the Universe.

You will feel a desire to be free and live in a world filled with love, compassion and truth. Eventually, you will feel and see the interconnectedness with everything around you in nature and will feel a deep connection with the Universe.

This is a deep sense that allows you to see the beauty in all things and to realize that your physical I is not your true nature.

2. Psychic Powers / Empathy.

Your instincts are as a well-adjusted compass that points you in the “right” direction to achieve what your soul is looking for.
With activating the pineal gland, you are able to read instinctive signals far easier until they become almost like another sense, hence the term sixth sense is derived from.

It’s almost like you know what will happen and what will be the results of certain events. That’s why some people think that the most notable prophets of our time had their third eye opened.

The feeling that we are all part of the same whole also becomes clear and you are capable of empathy with others, knowing that they are part of the same universal consciousness.

3. Laws of attraction / Space order.

As a result of the opened third eye, the third eye chakra is activated, which in turn will help to balance your chakra system.

When you are energized and in harmony with the Universe, you are like a giant magnet for events, people, situations etc. By harnessing the power of the positive intent, gratitude and love, you can manifest much more beauty in your life. You will notice that the number of useful “coincidences” will be greatly increased.

 4. Vivid dreams / Lucid dreaming.

Since your pineal gland regulates your sleep cycles, you will find that you sleep much better and that your dreams are more vivid and you’re lucid dreaming.

This means that you will feel that you can control your dreams and you will be able to realize your true infinite self and the infinite possibilities that exist in a state of sleep.

Additionally, you will realize that this world of dreams is the same as the “real world” in which we live, for example the fact that we have unlimited possibilities and we are all masters of our own universe.

5. Astral travel / Astral projection.

When the third eye connects to this level of existence where there is no time and space, our soul is able to rise above the physical body and astral travel in time and space.
It has the ability to go anywhere in the universe and at any time in the universe.

Many people belive that when we dream, we actually astral travel, and with fully opened third eye we are able to astral travel while we are awake, for example, when we meditate.

 6. Imagination / Creativity.

With activated pineal gland, you are continuously connected to the plane of existence where our souls reside.

In the plane of existence, there is no time or space, just an endless love and truth – everything that has happened and will ever happen already exists in the plane of existence.

Seems close to what are the akashic records, don’t you think?

After connecting to it, you will find that your imagination and creativity are super charged and you are able to find solutions to problems easier because all the solutions to all problems already exist in this place. Along with the ability to have vivid dreams and lucid dreaming, this will spark your imagination to a whole new level.

I would really love to hear your views on the benefits of opening the third eye brings. Remember before you dive in into this, make sure to read all possible information because as with everything, there are dangers of opening the third eye.


4 Ways to Activate the Pineal Gland

Activating your pineal gland may be helpful for regulating mood, sleep, and energy levels. Here are 4 ways to get started.

1. Get Out and Into the Sun

Sun exposure kick starts the pineal gland and stimulates the mind. Any type of light exposure, either directly or indirectly, activates the pineal gland, prompting it to produce serotonin; the neurotransmitter responsible for mood and energy levels. This is why it’s crucial to avoid light after the sun goes down, because you need your pineal gland to produce melatonin and suppress serotonin. This process can only be accomplished by reducing light from electronics and lightbulbs as much as possible.

2. Sleep in Complete Darkness

A dark environment ensures your pineal gland produces enough melatonin to ensure good, restful sleep. Make sure you avoid backlit devices like phones, tablets, computer monitors, or TV right before bed. The lighting of these devices stimulates serotonin production, tricking your pineal gland into thinking it’s daytime, confusing your wake/sleep cycle.

3. Sun Gazing

Sun gazing is perhaps one of the most controversial exercises you can do to activate the pineal gland. Here’s the basics of the practice: within the first 15 minutes of sunlight at the beginning of the day and then the final 15 minutes of sunlight at the end of the day, you gaze into the sun for a couple of seconds, but only a couple of seconds. Again, sun gazing has its risks. Simply getting out in the sun and having your eyes exposed to light indirectly can help stimulate the pineal gland without having to stare directly.

4. Meditation

The pineal gland responds to the bioelectric signals of light and dark, and meditation activates this bioelectric energy. With practice, you can learn to direct this energy to this highly-sensitive organ.


Modern Problems with the Pineal Gland

Calcification is the biggest problem for the pineal gland. Fluoride accumulates in the pineal gland more than any other organ and leads to the formation of phosphate crystals. As your pineal gland hardens due to the crystal production, less melatonin is produced and regulation of your wake-sleep cycle gets disturbed.

Research also reports fluoride hardening accelerates sexual development in children, particularly in girls. And this is a serious problem as a study from 30 years ago reported 40% of American children under 17 were found to have pineal calcification in process. Since then, we’ve see children, especially girls, experience the early onset of puberty.

In addition to fluoride, halides like chlorine and bromine also accumulate and damage the pineal gland. Calcium supplements can also cause problems. Without enough vitamin D–64% of Americans are vitamin D deficient–calcium does not become bioavailable and calcifies human tissue, including the pineal gland.

Eliminating fluoride may be the best first step for reducing health concerns. Use fluoride-free toothpaste, avoid tap water, and drink filtered water. For the best filtered water, use a reverse osmosis water filter. Eat calcium-rich foods rather than taking calcium supplements if you can get plenty of vitamin D.
