First: I think the pineal gland is very, very cool, and highly under-studied by serious scientists.

2nd: as a neuroradiologist looking at pineals every day, it is NORMAL for the pineal to calcify, and if it does not by the age of 7-8, there may be something wrong. Don't detract from a great topic by added that BS in about Fluoride malevolently calcifying the gland.

3rd: about 5-10% of the population develop incidental pineal cysts, for no apparent reason, surrounded by not well characterized gliotic tissue.

4th: this is not evidence based per se, my anectotal observation has been patients undergoing treatment for advanced cancers have an increased rate of pineal cyst formation. The logical assumption is cysts may be degenerative, and the pineal may well be a 'master well being gland' sort of like our regulating clock crystal for the computer.

Despite being a physician, i believe the pineal's best known product melatonin is a beneficial antioxidant (anti-aging?) and amazing sleep inducer. The magnetophores in the gland may be vestigial, or may not be...more research needs to be done!

Great topic.

SOUL = mind, will, and emotions. The soul is the collection of thoughts and emotional memories that make up our conscious and unconscious mind.


Souls are basic indestructible lifeforms. There are greater lifeforms outside the soul, yet I say "basic" just try to describe why it exists the way it does.


SPIRIT = the actual ethereal substance that makes up our life force. The spirit actually exists as an entity in the spiritual realm.


Since souls are "basically" indestructible, there are no words to describe what is inside the soul. That is part of the "indestructible" nature of the soul that it can't be described easily in words. It's protection. The spirit commonly about exists as an extension of life-force on the outside of the soul. It is not the life-force itself, however.


To use a metaphor, if the spirit is a piece of paper, then the soul is the words written on that paper. Whereas all spirits are essentially the same, being composed of the same spiritual material that the Creator is made of, each soul is unique, being an imprint of that person's complete life experience history. Since no two lives are exactly identical, no two souls are identical.


That sounds more like you described the heart, as in "heart and soul."


The word "soul" is psyche in Greek and nephesh in Hebrew, both meaning "mind." It is an interesting coincidence that in English the only difference between WIND and MIND is the orientation of the first letter (W or M). So, souls are not really tangible, but are a collection of remembered associations. That is the nature of souls... they are vestiges of past actions.


Direction of letters also describe the direction of the concept, not that the soul is the mind yet the concepts of the mind originate from the soul, or that the mind's concepts originate from the soul. Good enough description.

I would like to plead with people on this thread to avoid entangling this wonderful topic with the use of drugs or any other kinds of intoxications. Yes DMT will be mentioned but let us deal with internal chemical release and refrain from thinking that life is subject to some kind of quick fix. If you are looking to enhance your Pineal Gland via the introduction of substances into your body than I feel you are on the wrong track. Yes science has concluded that certain substances will have certain effects and some of these substances, like Ibogaine, have been used for centuries by Shamans or other spiritual people to enhance visionary journeys but it is naïve to think you can take many years of experience and tradition and apply it to this thread in a valid way, it is I feel nothing but dangerous as some of the posts here seem to imply the pros outweigh the cons and I worry that people will try something on the back of “loose” advice. If the need to discuss these kinds of substances persists than I think creating a new thread on specific substances is necessary, but please take note of ATS rules regarding drugs.

That being said I do think that humans have been trying for years to replicate the lost sensations via the use of substances for some time. “E” for example is very similar in chemical make up to Serotonin which is released via Pineal Gland. Maybe the lack of knowledge regarding the purpose of the Pineal Gland is the reason why many are turning to drugs in a bid get high. The greatest high will be the natural high from within. The ingredients are there in our bodies already… all we need to do is understand the facts more clearly.

I feel this thread will be best served by dealing with the Pineal Gland in a factual way and by investigating how, if possible we can use natural ways to increase the health of our Pineal Glands. I will search for information on why I think the Pineal Gland is our biggest hope with regards to taking our next evolutionary step or maybe I should say with regards to putting mankind back in tune with the nature around him/her.

I am convinced that Sun Spots, solar flare and coronal mass ejections (EMC’s) directly affect our Pineal Glands and that what happens in our solar system and universe is in direct relation to what and who we are.

I believe that we as a race (human race) are out of tune and instinct is asking us to retune. This will include the food we eat, the water we drink and the way we live. Understanding the Pineal Gland will help us to understand our purpose or at least create a higher level of wellbeing throughout humanity.

Peace.

Hi Pharaohmoan,

I think your remembering back to things from past lives as well, or you've read the book- The Power Of Kabbalah by Yehuda Berg. If you haven't read it I strongly recommend it!

peace out and rock the frig on!

Hi Phantasmagoria,

I couldn't agree with you more, in fact I think the mods, if possible, should cut this post out and paste it directly below the original post!!

Vitamin K2, there is another one or 2 vitamins that kelp the pineal gland and another to help those vitamins work properly. I know a company called solgar make vitamin K2, but not very cheaply, 30 tablets = £20!

If you haven't read it yet, read- The Power Of Kabbalah by Yehuda Berg. Well worth a read!

Peace out and rock the frig on!

Here is an interesting Mp3, well worth a listen to!

Click here

It basically covers the activation of the crown chakra, then funneling light into the pineal gland for envisioning and manifesting your desires, and it also talks about the role of DNA.

How’s does it handicap you in many ways. I can only think of one and that is a little trouble sleeping, and that was from an online report from someone who had his pineal gland removed. He said besides having a "little" trouble sleeping, he is perfectly happy and fine???

But actually having these experiences and being fully awake and clear is a very difficult thing to do. It took me years to do it. For some it might happen naturally at any given sleep time. But I found I had to train my chakras and also have a firm understanding that my conscious focus did NOT have to be in my head... it could be anywhere. Once I really grasped this principle I would start having experiences of ALMOST leaving my body... that is, my chakras was thumping... but it calmed as I got very stressed by that situation. So stuck in this reality I almost gave up at a point...


We need more experiences like this to help others. We see a lot of blogs about how to start, but it is hard to find anecdotal experience from each individual that has recognized their own achievement in such experiences. More of this is appreciated!

We know it is hard to describe, yet with time we could manage a new language or dictionary of words that help describe this very nature.

Personally, I haven't experienced the chakra method as others have been able to. I think it is simply my life, my element, is that much different from the norm. I'm more of one of those natural shaman's. By the age of 3, my lucid dreams were too much for the body to handle, and I was out and about.

Here is another thread that help understand my version of OOBE that are actually my normal everyday reality and perception:

Pandora's Pyxis: Pandimensionally conjoined twins?

Here is where I find organs like the pineal gland to exist beyond the basic 3D physical reality. Conceptualize a Siamese twin that only shares the pineal gland, yet instead of the twins being in the same reality, think of them each in their own 3D space-time with only the pineal gland being the organ the conjoins them between the space-times. Hence, a 6D reality.
