The Truth About Your Pineal Gland [~10 minute video]
The pineal gland is one of the most mysterious glands of the human body because it has many mystical properties.
Modern scientists define the pineal gland as a pine cone shaped gland located at the middle of the brain that produces melatonin, and helps regulate sleep patterns and influences sexual development. Modern scientists definition of the pineal gland is accurate but they are missing some of the most important features of the pineal gland.
Besides regulating sleep patterns and sexual development, the pineal gland acts like an inner portal that connects us to other dimensions, such as the dream and spiritual planes. Some researchers believe that the pineal gland has the ability to connect us to other dimensions because of its mystical properties.
Is the pineal gland the third eye?
When we look at the external of the pineal gland, it looks like a pine cone. However, if we cut it open and look at its internal features, it looks somewhat similar to an eye. The interior walls of the pineal gland are made of rods and cones that are similar to those in the retina in our eyes.These features of the pineal gland may be the reasons why ancient civilizations and spiritual teachers always associated the pineal gland with the third eye or inner eye.
Another important feature of the pineal gland is that it may produce dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT is a naturally occurring hallucinogenic chemical compound that can create hallucinatory effects similar to the effects of LSD. DMT and LSD should not be taken for long periods of time or in high doses, because they may cause damaging effects on the brain. The effects will vary depending on which type you are using.
Unlike our regular eyes, the pineal gland or third eye has the ability to see both physically and intuitively. The metaphysical properties of the pineal gland are most noticeable when we are asleep.
Have you ever had an experience when you were about to fall asleep and started seeing your surrounding with a 360-degree view? This is your third eye being activated by your pineal gland. It is the all-seeing eye. This is why when you close your eyes and imagine hard enough, you can sometime see what you are imagining in your third eye.
Benefits of a healthy Pineal gland
The pineal gland plays an important role in our physical health because it regulates our sleep patterns and sexual development, and protects our bodies from the damaging effects of free radicals.
Besides being beneficial for our physical health, the pineal gland is also important for our spiritual health because it is the gland that anchors our souls to our bodies. This allows our souls and bodies to bond and communicate. Without this bond, the body will die unless the body has no soul to begin with.
When we are more connected to our souls, our higher senses are more active, allowing us to feel more connected to the Universe and Creation. Our higher senses also make it harder for people to manipulate us. For these reasons, finding inner peace becomes easier.
