• The pineal gland is a link between the consciousness of man and the invisible worlds of Nature. Whenever the arc of the pituitary body contacts this gland there are flashes of temporary clairvoyance, but the process of making these two work together consistently is one requiring not only years bur lives of consecration and special physiological and biological training. This third eye is the Cyclopean eye of the ancients, for it was an organ
  of conscious vision long before the physical eyes were formed, although vision was a sense of cognition rather
  than sight in those ancient days.

• Let us then conceive that the soul holds her principal seat in that little kernel [Pineal gland] in the midst of the brain, from whence she diffuses her beams into all the rest of the body by intercourse of the spirit, nerves, yea and the very blood, which participating the impres-
  sions of the spirits, may convey them through the arteries into all the members. […] Let us here add, that the little kernel which is the chief seat of the soul hangs so between the cavities which contain these spirits, that it may be moved by them as many several fashions as there are sen-
  sible diversities in objects. But withal, that it may be moved several ways by the soul too, which is of such a nature, that she receives as many various impressions (that is, has as many several apprehensions) as there come several motions into this kernel. As also on the other side, the machine of the body is so composed that this kernel being only diverse
  ways moved by the soul, or by any other cause whatsoever, it drives the spirits that environ it towards the pores of
  the brains, which convey them by the nerves into the muscles by which means it causes them to move the members.

• Until relatively recently, the pineal gland was considered a vestigial organ lacking function, i.e., the brain's appendix. Then scientists showed it produced melatonin, a hormone that profoundly affects us. The pineal gland converts the amino acid tryptophan into serotonin (a neurotransmitter) and, in turn, melatonin. The melatonin then is released into the blood-
  stream and cerebrospinal fluid where it is transported throughout the body. […]
  The biochemical precursor to both molecules is serotonin, a key neuro-transmitter whose pathways are involved in mood and targeted in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. DMT also structurally resembles other psychedelic drugs, such as LSD and psilocybin, and is the active agent in ayahuasca brew Amazon shamans use to provoke out-of-body experiences.

• In spite of its mid-brain location, the pineal gland is innervated by nerves that come out of the cervical spinal cord. As demonstrated by several researchers, cervical, but not lower-level, injuries compromise the pineal gland and its mela-
  tonin production. […]
  Unlike cervical Spinal-Cord Injury (SCI) which leads to pineal dysfunction, the converse may be true for MS. Because pineal dysfunction and, in turn, low melatonin secretion are correlated with MS symptoms, pineal failure may predis-
  pose one to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Deleted article by Laurance Johnston, Ph.D., US American biochemist, molecular biolo-
  gist, excerpted from The Pineal Gland, Melatonin, and Spinal-cord dysfunction, part 2, adapted from an original article presented

• Here we have a famous alchemical symbol. The alchemist is chopping the head open of an old man – right where the pineal gland is [located]. And then Athena, or this woman, this Goddess, comes out. What it is saying is when you free your pineal gland your inner power is revealed. And it's strange because the inner power is not masculine. It's feminine, because men actually can't create anything. It's women who create everything. Men create culture for women, but it's women who told me to create culture. […]
  When we understand the secret of the pineal gland then we're going to be liberated. We're going to first understand what a terrible predicament we're in. And then we're going to have an extended life span which is going to stop the freaky kind of life that we're living now where we're trying to get everything done at once, because they're so afraid we're going to die. When we're liberated from this idea of death no one can control us.

Pineal gland small

• In a distant past our pineal gland used to be our third eye and, even more than an eye: a cosmic receiver and sen-
  der of multi-dimensional information. The pineal gland
  is now a tiny gland in the centre of our brain, connected
  with all our senses and the rest of our body.
  Through the other senses it communicates with the outer world in electrical impulses. With its spectrum of hormones it regulates our state of consciousness, e.g. waking, sleeping, dreaming, various meditative states including those states in which we may have mystical experiences. The mind and senses are paths for occult energies that work through vari-
  ous psychophysical centers or chakras, among the highest
  of which is the pineal gland. These centres continue to deve-
  lop as we evolve towards spirit.
  So, while the third eye or pineal gland has certain physiolo-
  gical activities in conjunction with the pituitary gland – toge-
  ther they regulate the rhythms of metabolism and growth –
  it is also the physical organ of intuition, inspiration, spiritual vision, and divine thought. The pituitary gland is the thought receiver and the pineal gland, often called our true master gland, is the thought transmitter.
  The pineal gland is the very key to the highest and divinest consciousness in man – his omniscient, spiritual and all embracing mind. It is the Single Eye.
  The more light you can store in your body, the higher your vibration will become. The higher your vibration is, the easier it becomes to elevate your surrounding as well as the people around you. Now is the time to reawaken our pineal gland as a cosmic antenna.

• [M]odern neurological research has confirmed that meditation increases the levels of DHEAS and melatonin, secretions produced by the pineal and pituitary glands which together are said by occultists to create the Third Eye.

• There the pineal gland represented the sun, and the gland which could modify and reflect on the visions that the pineal gland received from the spirit worlds was the pituitary gland.

• The Egyptians clearly depicted it [the pineal gland] as a uraeus snake and in Indian literature it is shown as the Third Eye of Enlightenment, or the Eye of Siva. It was depicted as the pine-cone-topped want of the followers of Dionysius, and a fourth-century BC Greek anatomist described it as 'the sphincter which regulates the flow of thought'.

• Later it was discovered that the pineal gland is large in children and when the crystallization of various body parts happens around puberty – that is to say when we naturally become less imaginative – the pineal gland begins a process of calcification and also shrinks.

• The pineal gland is a small grey gland, the size of an almond, which is situated in the brain where the spinal chord reaches up into it. In esoteric physiology, when we have a hunch, our pineal gland begins to vibrate, and if spiritual disciplines are used to increase and prolong this vibration, this may lead to the opening of the Third Eye, situated, of course, in the middle of the brow.

• [I]t is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular particles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set.

• As far back as 2180 BC, the pharaohs were using the schefa-food to enhance their pineal activity and thereby to heighten their perception, awareness and intuition.

• We are all surrounded and bombarded by thought-fields, and the thoughts we claim as our own are like a continuous universal broadcast. Some thoughts are cosmic in origin, while others are like local stations. The pituitary gland is the primary radio-receiver, channeling all wavebands and frequencies. It transmits selected frequencies (through secreti-
  ons) directly to the pineal gland, which then amplifies certain broadcasts for transmission throughout the body. The pineal gland has total control over what it will and will not transmit through its controlled manufacture and release of
  the melatonin hormone. High melatonin production thereby increases the facility for receiving and transmitting high-
  frequency cosmic and local broadcasts, and leads to a greater state of cosmic awareness – a state simply of 'know-
  ing'. In this regard, it is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular par-
  ticles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set. Laurence Gardner (1943-2010) British researcher, lecturer, writer focusing on alternative history, Genesis of the Grail Kings, S. 169, Fair Winds Press, paperback issue 1. January 2002

• The pineal gland is formed at 49 days within the human embryo: the same time that Tibetans believe it takes
  for a soul to reincarnate. And the same amount of days that the human embryo becomes either male or female.
• In the ancient Vedic energy system of the chakras, the pineal gland is referred to as the 'Ajna' or '3rd Eye' chakra. Modern studies reveal that the gland contains rods and cones – just like those found in the retina of your
  eyes! This is why when you visualize something strongly enough, you can literally see it "in your mind's eye."
• Your pineal gland receives more blood flow per cubic area than any other gland in your body. In other words, compared to all your other organs – including your lungs, your heart and your brain – this tiny little gland gets the highest concentration of energy.
• Studies show your pineal gland secretes a substance called Dimethyltriptamine (DMT). The interesting thing
  about DMT is that it causes experiences which can take you well beyond common states of awareness. This is
  perhaps why the pineal gland is known in many cultures as the ‘Seat of the Soul’, the 'Gateway to the Universe',
  the 'Mind’s Eye' and the 'Doorway to Higher Realms'.
• Your pineal gland is also important to your physical and mental health, and its wellbeing has been linked to memory, creativity, intuition and critical thinking skills. It is also sensitive to light and plays an important role in
  your sleep and waking cycles. When light strikes the retina of your eyes, it travels through a tiny nerve system and
  into the gland. When the lights go off, it sends a signal to the pineal gland to begin secreting melatonin, which acti-
  vates your nervous system to go into sleep mode.

• The seventeenth-century French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650) suggested that it [the pineal gland]
  was "the principal seat of the soul", mediating subjective experience and intervening in the machinery of the brain
  in situations of free will and moral choice.
  1. The pineal gland is part of your endocrine system. Though located in your brain, the pineal gland is actu-
     ally a crucial part of your endocrine system, which regulates major bodily processes such as growth, metabo-
     lism, and sexual development through the release and control of hormones.
  2. In reality, it produces a single – but key – hormone. As scientists have learned more about the functions of the pineal gland, they've learned it synthesizes the hormone melatonin from the neurotransmitter serotonin. Melatonin production determines your sleep-wake cycles and is purely determined by the detection of light and dark. The retina sends these signals to a brain region known as the hypothalamus, which passes them on to the pineal gland. The more light your brain detects, the less melatonin it produces, and vice versa. Melatonin levels are highest at night to help us sleep.
  3. Its shape influenced its name. This itty-bitty little gland, located very deep in the center of the brain, gets its
     name from its pinecone-like shape, most recently from the French (pinéal, or "like a pinecone"), itself from the Latin for pinecone (pinea). However, at about one-third of an inch long in adults, it's smaller than your average pinecone.
  4. Melatonin is also critically involved in reproduction. It inhibits the release of pituitary reproductive hormones, known as gonadotropins, from the pituitary gland, affecting male and female reproductive organs. In this way, melatonin – and therefore the pineal gland – regulates sexual development.
  5. It's been called the “third eye.” The pineal gland was commonly dubbed the "third eye" for many reasons, including its location deep in the center of the brain and its connection to light. Mystic and esoteric spiritual traditions suggest it serves as a metaphysical connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.
  6. It's been recognized as important since the ancient Greeks. Though the pineal gland wouldn't be fully understood until the 20th century, descriptions of its anatomical location are included in the writings of Galen
     (~130-~210 CE), a Greek doctor and philosopher.

• To decalcify your pineal gland:
  ⚑ Use fluoride filters to minimize fluoride intake from public water.
  ⚑ Use alternative, fluoride-free toothpaste.
  ⚑ Stop taking calcium supplements with synthetic calcium.
  ⚑ Avoid using nonstick cookware with PFOA and PFC.
  ⚑ Eat organic whole foods.
  ⚑ Avoid processed foods and foods sprayed with pesticides.
