Stuff for the esoterics here and the scientifically minded, turns out that the two disciplines are aligned in ancient thought and recent discoveries on the pineal gland..

First of all, an EXCELLENT research paper, "The Mysterious Pineal Gland", by Michael Anderson. Please do do give it a read, not that long and very understandable:

The Crystal Palace...


http://biologyofkundalini.com/articl...eCrystalPalace


"Taoists call the center of the brain between the pineal and the pituitary "the Crystal Palace." It's between the old brain at the back and the new brain at the front of the head, between the left and right hemispheres, sitting above the two wings of the mysterious ventricles.It rests between the two large cerebrums at the anterior end of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is one of the oldest features of the brain, involved in coordinating muscular activity in the body. It's said that when the pineal gland is activated it becomes illuminated like a thousands suns.The sense of white light flowing within and without may be when the pineal gland is highly activated producing DMT type chemistry during the height of the peak."

Piezoelectricity in the human pineal gland

Melatonin secretion by the pineal gland has been reported to be affected by exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). In an initial investigation to
determine if calcifications commonly found in the pineal gland could respond to EMFs by a transducer mechanism, studies were conducted to ascertain if
pineal tissues were piezoelectric. Second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements showed that pineal tissues contained noncentrosymmetric crystals, thus
proving the presence of piezoelectricity. Both mulberry-like and faceted crystalline calcifications were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Some of the calcifications had compositions similar to that of hydroxyapatite; others contained a high concentration of aluminum....

.....The SHG results show that the pineal gland definitely
contains noncentrosymmetric material which, according to
crystallographic symmetry considerations [7], is piezoelectric.
SHG detection does not permit determination of quantitative
piezoelectric and other material constants. Piezoelectric
crystals were detected throughout the human pineal
gland (Fig. 1) in all subjects examined (Fig. 2).....

........The first two kinds of crystals are
chemically similar to bone mineral, which is not piezoelec
tic [17], perhaps suggesting that they were not the source of
the SHG response. On the other hand, the crystal structure
of bone mineral and pineal calcifications is not well known,
and it is possible that small changes in crystal structure
could result in the appearance of noncentrosymmetry,
hence piezoelectricity. With the exception of one location,
the nonpineal tissues contained no crystals visible in the
SEM. Thus, if the SHG determinations involving the
nonpineal tissues (Fig. 2) are interpreted as negative, then it
could be concluded that there is a strong correlation
between the presence of crystals and piezoelectricity.
Aluminum was consistently observed in the pineal
glands using independent methods of measurement (EDS
on powder, EDS on single crystals, atomic absorption),
indicating that the element is consistently present in the
human pineal gland. Its relationship to the piezoelectric
property of pineal deposits, however, is unknown.

Why detoxing fluoride with Iodine supplementation is a good thing...I can't find the reference at this moment, but the much-touted "strengthening" effect of fluoride on bone(or, on calcite crystals in the pineal) is NOT strengthening at all. It is an imperfect bond, weakening the structure of the matrix...

"When Luke found out that the pineal gland - a little gland in the center of the brain, responsible for a very large range of regulating activities (it produces serotonin and melatonin) -was also a calcifying tissue, like the teeth and the bones, she hypothesized it would concentrate fluoride to very high levels. The gland is not protected by the blood brain barrier and has a very high perfusion rate of blood, second only to the kidney.

Luke had 11 cadavers analyzed in the UK. As she predicted she found astronomically high levels of fluoride in the calcium hydroxy apatite crystals produced by the gland. The average was 9000 ppm and went as high as 21,000 in one case. These levels are at, or higher, than fluoride levels in the bones of people suffering from skeletal fluorosis. It is these findings which have just been published.

It is the ramifications of these findings which have yet to be published. In the second half of her work she treated animals (Mongolian gerbils) with fluoride at a crack pineal gland research unit at the University of Surrey, UK (so there is no question about the quality of this work). She found that melatonin production (as measured by the concentration of a melatonin metabolite in the urine) was lower in the animals treated with high fluoride levels compared with those treated with low levels.

Luke hypothesizes that one of the four enzymes needed to convert the amino acid tryptophan (from the diet) into melatonin is being inhibited by fluoride. It could be one of the two enzymes which convert tryptophan to serotonin or one of the two which convert serotonin to melatonin.

Significance? Huge. Melatonin is reponsible for regulating all kinds of activities and there is a vast amount of work investigating its possible roles in aging, cancer and many other life processes. The one activity that Luke is particularly interested in is the onset of puberty. The highest levels of melatonin ( produced only at night) is generated in young children. It is thought that it is the fall of these melatonin levels which acts like a biological clock and triggers the onset of puberty. In her gerbil study she found that the high fluoride treated animals were reaching puberty earlier than the low fluoride ones.

We know from recent studies - and considerable press coverage - that young girls are reaching puberty earlier and earlier in the US. Luke is not saying that fluoride (or fluoridation) is the cause but her work waves a very worrying red flag. Fluoride's role in earlier puberty needs more thorough investigation. Of an interesting historical note, in the Newburgh versus Kingston fluoridation trial (1945-1955), it was found that the girls in fluoridated Newburgh were reaching menstruation, on average, five months earlier than the girls in unfluoridated Kingston, but the result was not thought to be significant at the time (Schlessinger et al, 1956).

When one considers the seriousness of a possible interference by fluoride on a growing child's pineal gland (and for that matter, elderly pineal glands) it underlines the recklessness of fluoridation. The precautionary principle would say, as would basic common sense, that you don't take these kind of risks with our children for a benefit which, at best, amounts to 0.6 tooth surfaces out of 128 tooth surfaces in a child's mouth (Brunelle and Carlos, 1990, Table 6)."

Because of the fast development of mobile telecommunication, the interaction of Electromagnetic Fields
(EMF) with biological environment becomes a public health concern. Although the action of non-ionizing radiation on
biology is still unclear, several hypotheses of interaction have been suggested: hot spot phenomena, ADN/RF-EMF
interaction, EMF effect on cellular development (oncology) [1-3]. But no convincing study brings to the conclusion of
an effective risk of RF-EMF for health.
The pineal gland converts a neural signal into an endocrine output. The most important hormone it secretes is melatonin
the main role of which is to control the physiological circadian rhythm [4].
Two biomineralization forms can be observed in the pineal gland. Concretions so called “brain sand”, a polycrystalline
complex of few millimeters long, and microcrystals the length of which does not exceed 20 micrometers. While
concretions have been extensively studied [5-9] no study has been published on the microcrystals.
In this article the microcrystals were analyzed with different biophysical techniques. Their physicochemical properties
and particularly piezoelectricity would give them an active role in a potential mechanism of electromechanotransduction
in the pineal body. We are currently planning a study on the effects of Global System for Mobile (GSM)
waves on these microcrystals in cellular culture and their influence on the pineal body physiology....

....We report here the presence of a new form of mineral deposits in the pineal gland. The calcite microcrystals
would have piezoelectric properties with excitability in the frequency range of mobile communications. Their
interaction with GSM waves could constitute a new mechanism of electromecano-transduction on the pinealocyte
membrane, influencing by the fact the melatonin production.
The RF-EMF electrical component interaction with the crystals could induce a morphological modification of the
crystals, a vibration depending on the EMF frequency. This morphological change, even tiny, could involve a
modification of their cellular environment, by a localized modification of the cellular membrane of related cells.
The membrane changes could alter the adrenergic suggested and/or calcium channel function.
A similar mechanism of magneto-transduction was revealed by Kirschvink in connection with magnetite crystals of the
brain and their interaction with the magnetic component of RF-EMF [15].
Pinealocyte can "communicate" through their gap junction [16, 17]. The deformation caused by the crystal vibrations
could thus by simple activation of one or two pinealocytes, activate a whole area of pineal cells and thereby act on the
pineal physiology.
