The pineal gland - is actually associated with the top of the brain - it
is the real controller (but physically located below the top). All the
propensities (1000) of the human mind are ultimately controlled by this
pineal gland. This is because the link to the non-attributional Supreme
Consciousness is located at the pineal plexus, ten fingers above the
pituitary plexus (the location of mind).
Here it should be noted that the mind is a powerful controlling entity, yet
it is only located in the pituitary plexus. The seat of Cosmic
Consciousness, beyond the mind, is located ten fingers above the seat of
mind at the pineal plexus. The lower glands of the human body are controlled


by the higher glands. So if the pituitary gland is well-developed, the lower


glands will be equally well-developed and well-regulated. However, the
pineal gland is the primary controller of all the other glands. The human
body possesses fifty main glands, each having its own impact on the psychic
sphere. Every gland works both internally and externally as well as in ten
directions (in a general sense). That is,. 50 x 2 x 10 = 1000. That is why
the pineal gland is the controller of one thousand mental propensities.
The pineal gland is activated when we meditate. The hormone melatonin, which


it secretes, gives the feeling of bliss - infinite happiness. It is a small
organ about the size of a pea situated in the brain.
You should note that there is a difference between the focal point - the
point of ideation for a cakra (plexus) - and the glands associated with that
chakra.
The symbol of the All-Seeing-EYE, has always been part of Earth's creation
mythologies and mysteries.

In Ancient Egypt, is was symbolized by the Eye of Horus.

The symbol was passed down, through the ancient mystery teachings and and can
be found on the American dollar bill.

Why the symbol of the EYE?

The eye is the observer of reality - or the illusion of reality.

In the physical body, your eyes look outward - though it views objects upside down.
It next sends the message of what it observes... to the brain, which interprets the
image and makes it appear right side up to us.


But the human body has another physical eye, whose function has long been
recognized by humanity.


It is called the 'Third Eye' which in reality, is the Pineal Gland. It is the Spiritual
Third Eye, our Inner Vision, and it is considered the Seat of the Soul. It is located
in the geometric center of the cranium.




The pineal gland is cone - shaped
The Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in
a tiny cave, behind and above the pituitary gland, which lies a little behind the root
of the nose. It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle.
The true function of this mysterious gland, has long been contemplated by
philosophers and Spiritual Adepts. Ancient Greeks believed the pineal gland,
to be our connection to the Realms of Thought. Descartes called it, the Seat of
the Soul.


This gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various biorhythms of the body.
It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland, which directs the body's thirst,
hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock, that determines our aging process.


When the pineal gland awakens, one feels a pressure at the base of the brain.
This pressure will often be experienced, when connecting to higher frequency.
A head injury, can also activate the Third Eye - Pineal Gland.


While the physiological function of the pineal gland, has been unknown until
recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools, have long known, this area
in the middle of the brain, to be the connecting link... between the physical and
spiritual worlds.
Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy, available
to humans, the pineal gland has always been important, in initiating supernatural
powers. Development of Psychic Talents... has been closely associated with this
organ of higher vision.

The pineal gland contains a complete map, of the visual field of the eyes, and
it plays several significant roles in human functioning. There is a pathway from
the retinas to the hypothalamus, called the retinohypothalamic tract. It brings information, about light and dark cycles, to a region of the hypothalamus, called
the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).


From the SCN, nerve impulses travel, via the pineal nerve (sympathetic nervous
system) to the pineal gland. These impulses, inhibit the production of melatonin.
When these impulses stop (at night, when light no longer stimulates the
hypothalamus), pineal inhibition ceases and melatonin is released. The pineal
gland, is therefore, a photosensitive organ and an important timekeeper, for the
human body.


Retinal research, done with hamsters, demonstrates another center for melatonin
production. Located in the retina, this center implies... that the eyes, have their
own built in circadian timepiece. This retinal system, is distinct from the brain’s
body clock, in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Biologists found, that they could
throw the retinal rhythms... out of sync, with other circadian cycles. They also
found, that they could set and reset the retinal clock, even when the SCN was
destroyed.
