The Pineal Gland (Page 3 of 3)

Let me step away for a minute and look at this with fresh eyes.  Up to "and the upper like the lower", it sounds like the author is talking about 'coalescing' your concsiousness in truth, and living with a good dose of connection to and communiction with your Higher Self.

Crazy idea:  Starting with "and when you make male and female into one..." it sounds like a cloning gray-type agenda.  Does it not?  Think about it objectively.  I'm sorry if the Gospel of Thomas is too sacrosanct to be interepreted this way, but there is some plausibility to it.  There are forces at work removing the sexuality from human beings.  There are more boys with undescended testes these days that you can shake a stick at.  Male impotence (caused by physical and cultural problems) is at an all-time high and is increasing all the time.  Lesbianism is uber-glorified and worshiped.  So, we can see this is happening.  So, clearly, our natural sexuality is being removed from us.  But I ask, is it paving a way for "entering the kingdom?"  Or, is it the result of manipulation and things gone awry?

This makes sense.  I admit I was looking for a more esoteric sort of meaning.

Oh, ok.  So, souled humans which are infinite and go on learning for life after life... because they operated in fear in one lifetime and did not live life in a way to fully interact with God, they "become merely a dream in the 'past'."  Their "worlds will cease", plural, inferring multiple realms of existence.  So, essentially they lose their beingness in the present; they lose their soul.  That's what's being inferred.  Sorry, maybe I'm too dim to understand it, but I just don't buy it.

Too dim ? I think you understand a lot more than i did ...

If this is the scenario that Jesus had in mind, we're on the right track !

With male-female thing, maybe he meant more the masculine and the feminine ... ?

This does remind me i shouldn't quote things i don't understand

I used to do Qigong and got pretty far into it, then the Master had the class do some exercises I didn't like, for example imagining the faces of important historical figures and manipulating them as if they were under my control.  Whether that idea seemed like slavery, idol-worship or whatever, I didn't like it, and soon the Master was saying good-bye to me.  But I had some interesting experiences there, like going a week without food -- only water and not much of that -- and not feeling a bit hungry after the first day.  That was more than 10 years ago.

In the past couple of years, I've noticed that I have a spot slightly behind the top of my skull, that stays open and seems a bit soft, like an opening in the skull.  I feel energy flow thru there, which I first felt when doing Qigong.  But now there's a "wound" there in the skin that never quite heals and sometimes it re-opens a bit, sometimes it heals up a bit.

Lately I've found that I can access the third eye -- I guess that's what it is -- if I lie in bed and really relax my eyes and have a really non-anticipatory attitude (just observing).  Sometimes I get an interesting movie there.  I've seen the matrix, I've seen little green men, odd three-dimensional shapes.  If I'm being attacked or for whatever reason feel anxious, I see yellow around me.  If I can calm down, I start to see better colors like green or blue, then start to see some interesting patterns, maybe then a "movie" i.e. get to watch something interesting.  If I can get into this state, I can always fall asleep easily, so it's become my usual bedtime ritual.

Think I'll see a "movie" tonight!

But some people say the third eye can see auras.  I see another world (or worlds?), with generally only creatures that one doesn't meet in 3D, but I have never seen auras.
