THE PINEAL GLAND, THE THIRD EYE, IS AN EXTREMELY VITAL PART OF THE BRAIN CRITICAL TO OUR EXISTENCE Is the Pineal Gland the “Seat of the Soul”? What is the history behind it?
Pineal Gland he existence of the pineal gland has been T known for nearly two thousands of years, although its function remained a secret until the
late 20th century. The pineal gland remained an anatomical curiosity. In the 16th century, the French philosopher Rene Descartes was searching for the source of our thoughts, and proposed that the lonely pineal organ could be the generator and called the pineal gland “the seat of the soul.” The name comes from the Latin word pinea, which literally means “pinecone.” The gland sits at the approximate geometric center of the brain; its location can also be understood as the third eye, the center of the brow. It is not technically part of the brain, as it is only unpaired organ deep within the brain and not protected by the blood-brain barrier. The pineal gland has been a topic of great debate over the last few decades as the science community is still trying to discover its complete biological function. The pineal gland was little known in Western Medicine until researchers at Yale University first discovered melatonin and its connection to the pineal gland in the late 1950s. In Eastern medicine, it has long been associated with the “Third Eye” and intuition, and it is linked to an important energy chakra. The pineal has also been shown to be the link between the nervous system and the “Limbic System” of the brain. It is thus quite possibly linked to perception. It is activated and regulated by energetic, electrical and magnetic frequencies. Its link to sleep and hormonal influences and its possible link to cancer have been studied since that time. Melatonin became available as a dietary supplement in the 1990s. This gland is also the factory for a powerful brain chemical called DMT (Di-Methyl Tryptamine). When DMT produce, it
induces a person into a mind-blowing and mystical experience. This spirit molecule is found inborn in nature, such as in certain grasses and tree roots and even in our own bodies.
Why many cultures talk about it?
Many different cultures talk about our third eye. Even more curious is the fact that pineal gland symbology can be traced to many civilizations such as the Hindus, Romans, Mexicans, Egyptians, Babylonians and the Greeks. The Hindus teach that the pineal gland is the third eye, called the Eye of Purified Soul. Hindu God Siva has a third eye. Buddha hair is a symbol of the pineal gland. Hindu people apply “pottu” on the forehead, between the eyebrows. As a chakra, the third eye is a main access point between the spiritual body and the physical body. It is called by the Buddhists the all-seeing eye, and is spoken of in Christianity as the eye single. It is a spiritual organ which is a connecting link between the human and the divine. It is interesting to note that even the Catholic Church displays pineal gland imagery, as the Vatican Square contains the largest pineal-like statue in the world. The Third Eye has been called by various names throughout history, including the “inner eye,” “mind’s eye,” “eye of the soul,” and “eye of reason.” Hindus believe in reincarnation which means “re-enter the flesh.” The soul never dies and takes birth again and again. At death, the soul leaves the physical body and re-enter another physical body as a baby. When all karmas are fulfilled, the soul will be liberated, freed from the cycle of birth and death. DMT is released from the pineal gland during extraordinary states such as time of birth and the time of death. This gland may be the mechanism from which we enter and leave our physical bodies. This is the reason Hindus believe that the pineal gland is the seat of the soul.
What is the symbolic meaning and deeper secret? What is the symbolic meaning of these pine cones, and how do the opposing animals factor into their overall meaning? What is the deeper secret these mysterious images hide? The ancient Roman Pigna (Italian for pinecone) sculpture sits in a Vatican courtyard called the Court of the Pine Cone is flanked by twin opposing peacocks. The Egyptian pine cone staff of Osiris (1224 BC) not only depicts opposing cobras but has them rising up to meet at a pinecone. The Hindu tradition teaches to awaken the Third Eye by activating “seven chakras”. The snakes were symbolical of the two channels called in Eastern terminology “Ida” and “Pinagala” and the fire enclosed within it was the snakeThird eye fire which in Sanskrit Buddha is called kundalini. The Caduceus is used as a symbol of medicine.
Why is melatonin used for an effective cancer treatment? Our body is perfectly designed to survive in the world by sensing danger, battling and defeat the germs. Melatonin is a powerful anti-oxidant, a compound that blocks the action of free radicals, activated oxygen molecules that can damage cells. Melatonin may suppress the growth of cancer cells, especially when combined with certain anti-cancer drugs. Some research suggests that melatonin also

stimulate white blood cell (WBC) called natural killer cells. WBC surrounds the dangerous cancer cells and attack tumors. Research carried in Cancer Watch suggested that circadian rhythms might even control the Pope John Paul II holding a Statue with effectiveness of Pinecone chemotherapy drugs and the time of day should be taken into consideration. Melatonin is produced by our bodies exclusively during darkness, and taking melatonin Giant Pinecone by Romans at Vatican supplements at the wrong time of day would potentially disrupt the circadian system and affect the cancer treatment. Author is now conducting further studies to investigate how much light exposure suppresses nighttime melatonin production in Egyptian Osiris humans.
