Topic: The Pineal Gland

Does anyone have any good information on this component of the brain, said to control very thing from the manufacturing of melatonin (a pre-cursor of melanin), sleep patterns, sexual desire, muscle coordination, psychic and spritual capabilities to name just a few.  It is said that the Pineal gland is what drives the power of the so call "third-eye" and is in fact our connection to the univese.  I've read some articles that suggest that the darker skinned races possess a higher functional capability of this gland due in part to darker skined individuals ability to absorb sunlight more efficiently.

Trepanation
Trepanation was a surgical technique used by Tibetan monks to open the 'third eye'. They drilled a hole in the skull in the region of the pineal gland and then poked around inside with a sharp stick. With this third eye open one was supposed to be able to see a person's aura (presumably enabling him to practise somatography). In Europe, trepanation was 'invented' by a Dutchman, Bart Huges in 1965. He didn't claim to be able to see auras. Instead Huges claimed that the procedure relieved the hydrostatic pressure on the brain allowing the arteries to expand. Huges claimed that it was similar to having a permanent LSD trip.
   During the times of LSD and hippies, there was an underground magazine Gandalf's Garden . In an article recommending trepanation the authors warned: 'We do not advise anyone to try trepanning themselves, since even a fractional miscalculation could cause death or insanity.' Wouldn't you have to be insane already?

That could well be, i know i feel sleepy if i lie in the sun all day but i feel great.
I was reading on Stuart Wilde's site that the pineal produces large ammounts of DMT at birth and death kinda like being born with a DMT awareness and dying with one.

Its not like we are fractions of the whole but rather versions of the whole.

Re: The Pineal Gland

Pineal Gland.  It's been known for more than 20 centuries. It is in the center of the brain. I believe that the source of the third eye phenomena is a direct nerve pathway from the retina to the pineal. A real fifty cent word, the retinohypothalamic tract. It's sensitive to light. It's our internal clock, and produces a hoard of substances: norepinephrine, serotonin, histamine,melatonin, dopamine, octopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid. Only the melatonin is secreted into the blood, and thus considered the pineals only real hormone product. Wish I had more for you, but the library in the living room was plum out of more info. How bout that "Trepanation", get the truth out of them with that!

Re: The Pineal Gland

Adrenocrome was first presented to the public in the movie 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' in 1998.

As your attorney, I advise you not
            to worry.
                   (nods towards bathroom)
            Take a hit out of that little brown
            bottle in my shaving kit.

DUKE goes in the bathroom.  He finds a little bottle -- a
label: "DRINK ME."

                         DUKE
            What is this?

                         GONZO
            You won't need much.  Just a little
            tiny taste, that stuff makes pure
            mescaline seem like ginger-beer.
            Adrenochrome.

DUKE stares wonderingly at the bottle.

                         DUKE
            Adrenochrome...

                         DUKE
            Where'd you get this?

                         GONZO
            Never mind, it's absolutely pure.

                         DUKE
            Jesus... what kind of monster
            client have you picked up this time?
            There's only one source for this
            stuff -- the adrenaline gland from
            a living human body!

GONZO turns to smile at DUKE.

                         GONZO
            I know, but the guy didn't have any
            cash to pay me.  He's one of these
            Satanism freaks.  He offered me
            human blood -- said it would take
            me higher than I've ever been in my
            life.
                   (laughs -- struts
                   round DUKE -- eyes
                   bright with expectation)
            I thought he was kidding, so I told
            him I'd just as soon have an ounce
            or so of pure adrenochrome -- or
            maybe just a fresh adrenaline gland
            to chew on.

                         DUKE (V/O)
            I could already feel the stuff
            working on me -- the first wave
            felt like a combination of mescaline
            and methedrine -- maybe I should
            take a swim, I thought...

DUKE sees that GONZO is TOYING WITH HIS HUNTING KNIFE...

                         GONZO
            Yeah, they nailed this guy for
            child molesting.  He swore he
            didn't do it. "Why should I f*ck
            with children?" he says. "They're
            too small." Christ, werewolf is
            entitled to legal counsel.  I
            didn't dare turn the creep down.
            He might have picked up a letter
            opener and gone after my pineal
            gland!

GONZO JABS WITH THE RAZOR BRIGHT KNIFE.  DUKE'S BODY IS
GOING RIGID -- HE SPEAKS THROUGH GRITTED TEETH.

                         DUKE
            Why not?  We should get some of
            that.  Just eat a big handful and
            see what happens.

                         GONZO
            Some of what?

                         DUKE
                   (spitting words)
            Extract of pineal!

                         GONZO
                   (STARING AT DUKE WITH
                   A STRANGE SMILE)
            Sure.  That's a good idea.  One
            whiff of that shit would turn you
            into something out of a goddamn
            medical encyclopedia.

GONZO GROWS HORNS -- HIS FACE BECOMES A MEXICAN DEMON MASK.

                         GONZO
            Man, your head would swell up like
            a watermelon, you'd probably gain
            about a hundred pounds in two
            hours...

A CLOVEN HOOF BURSTS THROUGH GONZO'S SHOE.

                         DUKE
            Right!

                         GONZO
            ... grow claws... bleeding warts.

GONZO'S CHEST EXPANDS -- BONY RIBS BURSTING HIS SHIRT.

                         DUKE
            Yes!

                         GONZO
            ... then you'd notice about six
            huge hairy tits swelling up on your
            back...

A TAIL LASHES, HOOFS STRIKE THE FLOOR.  GONZO TOWERS -- A
FLAME RED DEMON!

                         DUKE
            Fantastic!

DUKE is now so wire that his hands are CLAWING UNCONTROLLABLY
at the bedspread, JERKING IT RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER HIM.  His
heels are dug into the mattress with both KNEES LOCKED,
EYEBALLS SWELLING.

GONZO-DEMON LOOMS AGAINST THE CEILING.

                         GONZO
            you'd go blind... your body would
            turn to wax... they'd have to put
            you in a wheelbarrow and...

GONZO'S VOICE FADES AWAY -- DUKE'S frenzied gaze reveals
GONZO REVERTED TO NORMAL HUMAN SHAPE AND SIZE.

                         GONZO
            Man I'll try about anything; but
            I'd never touch a pineal gland.

                         DUKE
            FINISH THE f*cking STORY!  What
            happened?!  What about the glands?

GONZO, a small smile on his lips, backs away warily...
towards the TV -- NOW A HUNDRED FEET AWAY IN THE DISTANCE...

                         GONZO
            Jesus, that stuff got right on top
            of you, didn't it.

VEINS stand out on DUKE's forehead.  He is purplish-red.
OVER THE TOP!  Too late, he realizes he is NEAR DEATH!

The reality of the existence of Adrenochrome is confirmed by Fritz Springmeier in one of his Prophecy Club lectures titled 'The Top Illuminati Bloodlines and their mind control'. In it, he explains that it is a super-secret drug extracted from a living human brain only after the subject is severly traumatized - as is necessary for the brain to produce the drug.

Re: The Pineal Gland

Hi Sundeep,

Earlier today I posted some articles about the pineal gland here--

http://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic. … 485#p21485

Also, if you use your search engine entering "pineal gland+metaphysics" you'll find many web pages to browse through. In fact, here's the Netscape search engine results I found earlier--

http://search.hp.netscape.com/hp/search … 12&y=9

I would think that doing a search using "pineal gland+melatonin" may result in some also useful information.

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

Auendove, that might be somewhat close, yes... it's hard to say exactly because it's something that goes off very frequently, and any accompanying sound is very light and kind of secondary to the sensation.  I wish I was able to articulate it better, frankly because it's very real and, when I think about it, quite disturbing for obvious reasons.  Though the funny part about it is that it's subtle enough, and occurs frequently enough, that it doesn't normally grab my attention.  I have a hunch that when I started posting messages here on NR regarding the left ear tones I was having months back, and discussed them publicly, whoever was responsible for that not only noticed (no doubt about that part!) but also decided that since I was on to that part of their game, to change things around a bit to keep me from figuring too much out.  So, they turned off the ear thingy and started using the one in the middle (?) of my head.  That's my best guess.

What's in the center of your head, the geometric center, is your pineal gland. It may very well be that your healthfully activated pineal gland, and the connection to Higher Self, disabled the ear thingy. And this too may be why my ear thingies have stopped.

Oh yeah, it is hard to articulate on this subject matter because it's new ground. I am going to give it a go though after a bit. I'm right now in the middle of washing laundry and preparing for a dinner party tonight, but I will get back to you with my comments when my hands become a little freer.

And this is the remainder of my response--

When I write "new ground" I'm referring to how with each passing month it seems as if I/we are steadily entering new territories of being... many of us are recognizing, some of us even without doubt, that we're smack dab in the middle of a shift in consciousness. For me, this shift has not only been in the realm of my consciousness, it has also been physical.

As I've before mentioned here on NR, the spring/summer of 2003 was a time of big growth and change for my person. What I haven't shared openly, until now, is that during that time I took note of a teeny tiny superficial hairline fracture on my skull at the top of my forehead where my hairline begins. The fracture was but just at the very most .5 inches long, very thin, and located just barely to the left of the center line of my head, slanted toward the center of my forehead.

When I first felt this on my head I was concerned. As the weeks passed and the fracture began to slowly grow, minusculely, I naturally became concerned that maybe I had a freaking brain tumor or something. I would hear these little chkk, chkk, chkk sounds, even feel the chkk sounds on my forehead. The only thing that kept me from totally panicking about having a brain tumor was that none of this physically hurt... the only time I felt anything even close to discomfort was one day about six months after the initial appearance of the fracture (and relative to an unusual "woo-woo" circumstance) when I felt something like a zing of electricity at the bridge of my nose, an almost blinding one (indeed my eyes crossed and I got light headed), and then heard and felt the loudest chkk, chkk, chkk I had yet heard. And the chkk-ing traveled up from my nose to the top of my hairline, one after the other.

Even so, even given the lack of pain or illness, I still had this underlying fear that maybe I had a brain tumor growing in my head and it was eventually just going to crack my head wide open and, lol , that my brains were going to come spilling out! LOL! While I don't have too much fear about the transitional change called death, going through that change via a brain tumor wouldn't be my ideal way to go wink .

Eventually I got fed up with worrying about it and started to ask, over the course of a few weeks, intuitive and trusted friends if they could "pick up" some info about what was happening to me. I personally was "getting" not to take concern, that all was in order, but still.... hmm . During that summer of '03 I asked these three different intuitives, and they all said, much to their surprise and mine, that what was happening was due to genetic changing... rebundling DNA. At the time I was floored by their responses and wasn't sure what was more implausible, my having a brain tumor without any signs of illness, or that my DNA was rebundling... can you imagine? For me, just a little woman on the planet, being told what I was being told was... well, mind blowing smile .

Two years later, as I sit here today, the superficial fracture travels all the way across my forehead, declinated at a steep angle from left to right, beginning just left of my forehead center line, now somewhat into my hairline, and ending at the beginning of my right eyebrow... and at the inception point, where I first noticed this beginning to happen, that part has grown much deeper and wider... relatively speaking. I can fit my fingernail into the chasm and move it back and forth just a bit, by about a centimeter or so. It's funny because one of my friends that I asked about this back then, after she relating about the genetic changes, then told me that she was being told that I should stop sticking my fingernail into it!!! LOL! HA!, I never told her that I was doing that!

While I've always been fairly intuitive, when the fracture began was when my third eye chakra, which is linked to the pineal gland, was blown wide open, and has remained opened since. I near constantly feeling it pulsing energy, like an old fashioned coffee pot percolates coffee... glub, glub, glub, or like a radar scope... blip, blip, blip. As well, since that time I have a seemingly permanent and visually noticeable pinkish-red area about the size of a nickel (though oval shaped) where the third eye is depicted as being. At times when the third eye is fast at work the spot will take on a hue of reddish-purple. At times, but mostly in the past as the fracture was growing, the area would also be a little itchy. At this point I want to reiterate that none of this has come with any degree of pain whatsoever. It doesn't even cause me to have headaches.

Now, to you morningsun and this of your comment--

So, they turned off the ear thingy and started using the one in the middle (?) of my head.  That's my best guess.

So often, as Light Workers/Wanderers/abductees, we think that if something unusual and totally out of the scope of "normality" is happening to us that there must be a deleterious reason for that happening. In this case morningsun, I honestly don't think what is happening is resultant of caustic STS interlopers. Like I wrote, we're in uncharted territory, all of us noticing changes are for the most part going by the "seat of our pants" when it comes to this shift in consciousness. The only thing is, this chkk sound is absolutely nothing like the sounds I have ever heard in either of my ears. And as well, and most importantly, until recently I would hear the ear ringings and thrumming right along with the chkkk sound. For me, one didn't stop, just to have the other begin. To me, it does sound exactly like an egg being lightly tapped on a surface. To me, it does remind me of the Cosmic Egg cracking that I've read about in esoteric writings. Maybe we are ourselves but just wee Cosmic Eggs big_smile .

Though the funny part about it is that it's subtle enough, and occurs frequently enough, that it doesn't normally grab my attention.  I have a hunch that when I started posting messages here on NR regarding the left ear tones I was having months back, and discussed them publicly, whoever was responsible for that not only noticed (no doubt about that part!) but also decided that since I was on to that part of their game, to change things around a bit to keep me from figuring too much out.

I notice that when I'm more aware of the chkkk sound happening is when I'm opening up on the board here about something "woo-woo" happening about me, or when I'm deep in exploratory thought about metaphysics or writing about my metaphysical being... like right now (my third eye is majorly pulsing energy right now). I've also noticed that after particularly astounding moments of energetic growth the fracture has, like, almost instantly grown and/or deepened. After the energetic interaction I wrote about on the "August 19 miracle" thread I definitely noticed the fracture having become deeper and wider, especially at the inception point... again, relatively speaking. Early last year I was sitting here at my desk, wide awake and active, writing an email to a beloved soul brother, feeling a great spirit of unconditional love when, Shazaam! smile , I spontaneously astralled out of my body and found myself floating as an opalescence energy. While my consciousness was there (this happened rather quickly) my body sitting here in my chair started to fall off my chair, like I was a lifeless bag of bones... I caught myself with my hand on the floor as I reentered 3D so I didn't crash to the floor. This instance was when I had the zing of electricity in the bridge of my nose.

As you can see, everything I'm writing about is experiential, and this experience of the fracture is, I've found, not happening to many, but it is happening to a few as I'm, in one way or the other, being made aware of them. I've never spoken face to face with anyone who something like this is happening to. Since speaking to the intuitives I spoke of earlier, I have, this past early spring, spoken to another person on the phone who also has this type of fracture on her skull, and she in turn also knew someone that has the same. A dear soul sister of mine recently had an appt. with author and shaman Lynn Andrews for a reading. Being so very kind as my friend is, she called me beforehand and asked me if I had a question I might like to ask, and you bet I did big_smile ! I wanted to know about my cracking head and the chances of it really, really, really, being about DNA changes. Lynn Andrews told her that this was indeed part of the shift process and soul evolution.

Okee-dokee, at this point I don't know what more to add, except that this has been my experience with my pineal gland/third eye, with the energy changes, and that even while I'm certainly and obviously going by the seat of my pants, there are others, morningsun, who also recognize that it's not about a "bad thing", but rather a "good thing"... the best of outcomes I/we could ever pray for, an avenue to liberation from the "matrix".  I do believe that it is through the physical and metaphysical interactions of the pineal gland that our shifting out of our present "reality" will become so and manifest.

While a lot of what has happened and is happening with our spirit selves may be unseemly, even unspeakable, take care that you explore EVERY possibility before defaulting to being tweaked by STS forces. Much of it may be just that, yet not all of it is just that... and that's majorly cool cool cool !

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

Re: The Pineal Gland

Interesting thoughts, Auendove.  I'm not sure what's actually going on.  I assumed that the middle of the head stuff was probably negative because it seemed in my case to begin after the left-ear tones -- which definitely had a negative connotation -- stopped.  But if you're correct, then I wonder if whatever this positive "change" is that's happening might  in some cases disable or ainterfere with the negative left-ear stuff.  Just a thought ... anyway it sounds like you are definitely going through something very noteworthy here ... thanks for the thoughtful post.  I look forward to updates ...

Bill from [url=http://www.hiddenmeanings.com wrote:

www.hiddenmeanings.com[/url]]WHY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS HAS THERE BEEN SO MUCH INTEREST IN THE SINGLE EYE OR THE PINEAL GLAND ? 

HERE'S WHY

Let us consult the encyclopedia.

Dimethyltryptamine:

Created during normal metabolism in low amounts by the human body (secreted by the pineal gland).

It also occurs naturally in many species of plants. DMT-containing plants are used in several South American shamanic practices. It is believed to be one of the main active constituents of snuffs like yopo and of the potion ayahuasca.

It has been found that the pineal gland manufactures trace amounts of the psychedelic chemical dimethyltryptamine, or DMT. This endogeous chemical in the human brain is believed to play a role in dreaming and possibly near-death experiences and other mystical states.

Induced Dimethyltryptamine  experiences can include profound time-dilation, time travel, journeys to paranormal realms, and encounters with spiritual beings or other mystical/trans-dimensional modalities that, by most first hand accounts, defy verbal or visual description.

So when the Biblical Jesus said " if your eye be single your body will fill with light", he wasn't kidding.

Now you can understand the reason for the ancient teachings. Why Jacob of the Old Testament had a face to face encounter with God and called the place Peniel, and why Rene DesCartes called it the seat of the soul.

The substance Dimethyltryptamine that is manufactured by the Pineal Gland or SIngle Eye of your brain is connected with journeys to the realm of spiritual entities and other realms that defy description.

That statement does not require your faith, it is a scientific fact.

The reason for your meditation should now be abundantly clear to you.

Re: The Pineal Gland

The pineal is one major thing. It is the sight of production of the neurohormone DMT which has been exogenously gone into with things like Ayahuasca. A very fascinating subject. Much has seemingly been done on many levels to keep mankind from awakening his higher consciousness functions thru the pineal. Flouride is one thing in particular that should be avoided like the plague as it will inhibit the pineal and is very hard to get rid of. If you still use flouride toothpaste, sorry kids but you have been duped and need to toss it out. Flouride is REAL bad news. If you go in for teeth cleaning tell the hygenist not to put anything that has flouride in it in your mouth, that you are highly allergic to it.
Most dentists will have plain pumice they can use. If they harass you or give you the spanish inquisition, get up out of the chair, and WALK OUT. I did this and took my business down the street to another butcher. About $1300.00 worth to be exact, as I was having all the MERCURY amalgum removed from my mouth and one particular backwoods dentist took the wrong tack with me....handing me his over controlling western dren. Which brings me to another story which I will devote an ENTIRE post to. It will be called the v-tail Doctor Killer!

If I was a Greek scholar, then I would be more informed about the probable canonical mistranslation of this "eye / eyes" "single / good" quote from Jesus in Matthew.  But I feel this is probably the case.  It seems to make sense that it would be a worthwhile thing for TPTW (the powers that *were*) to do, for the sake of keeping people oppressed through a million subtle or not so subtle manipulations.

Re: The Pineal Gland

Hidden Meanings is an interesting website insofar as it's nice to see anyone looking a bit deeper into things, but a lot of what's written there doesn't resonate with me and strikes me as fanciful speculation.  I don't have any problem with that, but if it doesn't move me it doesn't move me.
   
When I lived in New Jersey, I drove down to Hidden Meanings to see what, if anything, they had going on there.  It turned out to just be a little space in a strip-shopping mall with a few random used  books for sale in front, and a little lecture room in back where Bill gave a lecture on something I can't even remember, then passed around a collection plate.     The feeling I remember getting from it was that it might be a well-intentioned enough place, but there was nothing there worth sticking around for or paying attention to.     The website has a couple of interesting ideas thrown into the mix here and there to make it worth a look, but I think that's about it.

Re: The Pineal Gland

This is a piece from the universal-tao site, from mantak chia... its about his latest 'workshops' which are called "dark room retreats". People can sign up for a week in total darkness ... voluntary big_smile

it looks promising on the website:  (i guess you can try wear a blindfold for a week and stumble around in your house, but hey, this is thailand!) 

..."DAY 1-3

Complete isolation from external light causes the pineal gland to flood the brain with the neurotransmitter melatonin. 3 days of Internal Darkness and Sleep Therapy - During these 3 days one has the chance to catch up on all the lost sleep that has occurred over the last few years. This stage cannot be over emphasized, with regard to its importance in the overall process. Christ spent 3 days in the caves near the Dead Sea, utilizing this metamorphic process, which is conducive to a very gradual death of the ego.

DAY 3-5

The pineal gland starts to increase the production of 'pinoline', whereby a greater fluidity of thought and healing of the body starts to occur. This period allows for transition, wherein numerous meditations will be carried out, which will incorporate projection of the energy body and astral travel along with (Iron Shirt) Chi Kung.

DAY 6-8

At this stage the pineal gland also starts to produce the neurohormone 5-MeO-DMT. This psychoactive tryptamine is highly luminescent; it is also extremely phosphorescent due to the amount of phosphene that it transmits onto the visual cortex.

The neurotransmitter 5-MeO-DMT ('akashon') is normally only active when we are in the womb and in the first months of our lives. It is now reactivated in the darkroom. 5-MeO-DMT switches on 40% more of the cerebral cortex and awakens the nervous system to become aware of itself; 'beingness' results. It is the empathogenic neurotransmitter that expands the emotional body between 'infinity and zero'. It gives rise to telepathy in the emotional and intuitive bodies. It engages the awakening of the 'Flower Of Life', the spine, which begins to glow in a state of beingness and peace. 5-Meo-DMT discharges the darkness from the darkroom. A bright light will be activated. This Great White Light, the manifestation of the astral body, enables the self to project externally. Many exercises will be practiced during this period; compacting Chi, consciousness and awareness into the nervous system, working with the Silent Self and anchoring the Immortal Body. DAY 9-12

There is now enough 'Mono Amine Oxidase Inhibition' triggered by the pinoline, to allow the pineal gland's 'serotonin to melatonin cycle' to be intercepted by adrenaline and ephedrine activity and converted into a 'serotonin - DMT pathway'. When DMT levels reach more than 25mg, one's experience can become very visual. DMT is the visual third eye neurotransmitter. It enables the energy body and spirit to journey into hyperspace, beyond third dimensional realms of time and space. It is intensely energizing. At this stage of the Dark Room Retreat, the required amount of sleep tends to diminish dramatically. Although the day may last 24 hours, 3 hours of sleep can seem like 12. During this period we will engage in further practices; psychic games and interactivity, Taoist Dream Yoga (advanced levels) and Imagination Expansion. "...

Re: The Pineal Gland

Yes dark rooms do seem to have something special in training someone to awaken their inner abilities.  I know a military remote vieiwer (retired) who was trained in a dark room.   He won't give out too much information about what exactly was done in it, but he said anyone can benefit from using one and just trying to see with the third-eye.
