The Pineal Gland or the 'Seat of the Soul' as described by Rene Descartes, is the focal point of our spiritual guiding system which makes us go beyond the five senses of rationality and become multisensory, tuned into and aware of higher dimensions of consciousness within a holographic cosmos. Cannabis or Marijuana among other psychedelics facilitates the activation of the pineal gland and helps turn on the third eye or the mind's eye directing our spiritual evolution to wholeness.

Here is an article by Chris Bennett on Cannabis & the Power of the Pineal Gland ...





The pineal gland, located in the centre of the brain, is about a quarter of an inch in size, reddish-gray, and weighs about one-tenth of a gram. Unlike other parts of the brain which come in pairs, the pineal gland is singular. Its location in the center of the brain and presence in other species indicates it is an older part of humanity's evolutionary brain system.

The pineal gland is present in all lower vertebrae. In other species, like birds, reptiles and frogs, the pineal gland is called the parietal eye or "third-eye" as its functions closely resemble that of an actual eye. In these other species, the pineal gland has components of an actual eye, with a cornea, rod and cone. It is considered to be the vestige of a functional sense organ of early primitive vertebrates.

Directly affected by the light taken in through the eyes, the pineal regulates sleep, menstrual cycles, mating seasons, hibernation, seasonal flight patterns and many other "instinctual" behaviors.



Psychedelic researcher Dr Rick Strassman has explained how the pineal gland "is quite active in synthesizing compounds related to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter in the brain. Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers allowing communication among individual nerve cells. Most typical psychedelic drugs, such as LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, and DMT are active in brain sites which are also affected by serotonin. In addition, most of these drugs are similar in their chemical structure to serotonin." Strassman states that most of the above substances belong to the "tryptamine" class of drugs, and proposed that the pineal gland produces "one or two endogenous tryptamines found in human blood and cerebrospinal fluid. This latter fluid continually bathes the brain, and compounds found in it most likely affect brain function." Strassman also explains how "psychedelic drugs, meditational states, spontaneous near-death experiences and other phenomena which may induce stereotypic death/rebirth and paradisal/hellish states act via the pineal gland.

Lyttle points to the universal mystic vision of God as an all-consuming white light, and postulates that on a physiological level, this experience is produced from chemical reactions in the pineal gland which is extremely light sensitive. "Light, the eyes and the 'third eye' or pineal gland form a triad which directly controls and regulates normal or altered consciousness and many bodily functions? these three factors are also directly related to, or implicated in, mystical states and the 'psychedelic' experience." Visions of white light are not only associated with mysticism and psychedelic explorations, but are also a prevalent image recorded by those who experience the near-death state. A reason for this recurring theme in near-death states may be found with Dr Strassman, who suggests that after death, as the pineal gland shuts down, some of the chemical present in it may turn into "psychedelic" drugs!

According to Dr Strassman, the pineal gland may not only play an important role in death, but also in birth, possibly even in rebirth... The pineal gland first becomes visible in the human fetus at the same time as does the clear differentiation of the fetus into female or male gender. The time for both of these events is 49 days, the period of time that, according to several Buddhist texts, the life force of a deceased individual coalesces around its next corporeal existence. If the life force does indeed enter through the pineal, the manifestation of this coming and going would be the release of psychedelic tryptamines, which would mediate the visionary experiences associated with near-death, and near-birth states.





Certain initiatory cults, such as Tantrism, Kundalini and Gnosticism, acknowledged the role of the pineal gland in the spiritual process. The spiritual/instinctual life force was seen as a serpent, due to its physical structure extending from the genitals, through the spine and up into its single all-seeing eye in the pineal gland. These spiritual systems focussed around the raising of this primordial serpentine energy, based in the genitals and at the core of the pro-creative process. Through certain yogic practices this energy can be reversed and forced to travel up the spine into the brain, where it is reputed to cause "enlightenment". In the Kundalini system, which has seven distinct energy centers, the pineal gland has been variously identified with the "Ajna Chakra" and alternatively the "Sahasrara Chakra". Both pre-Christian Mithraic and second century Gnostic texts also distinctly refer to the pineal gland in relation to seven distinct energy centers and this serpentine energy.


Not surprisingly, a common experience of those who have successfully raised their kundalini is the vision of all-consuming white light. More importantly, the devotee who successfully raises the kundalini experiences a radical switch in consciousness, obliterating the sense of individuation, and enters Nirvana. Another potential reference to this curious little gland may occur at the end of the New Testament book of Revelation, where we find that the elect will know God intimately, "his name will be in their foreheads," which is where the pineal deeply lies. Noting the gland's strong connection with light, the rest of the passage is interesting: "There will be no more night; they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light." Likewise in the Qabalistic tradition, the primordial archetypical man, Adam Kadmon, shines forth with a light from his forehead that was rich in complex patterns and linguistic symbols.


Similar imagery occurs in the Persian tradition of the light-like sacred fluid, the "vivifying and spermatic" xvarenah. "Ahura Mazda is preeminently the possessor of xvarenah, but this 'flame' also springs from the forehead of Mithra and like a solar light emanates from the heads of sovereigns." This mind-light from the forehead is also identical with the 3rd Eye of Shiva, which when opened in the individual burns away the concept of ego-bound consciousness, and when opened collectively has the potential to burn away the ties and fetters of the Old World Order.

Perhaps if enough modern psychonauts achieve the pineal experience we can push this new frame of mind onto the rest of ego-bound humanity. Here at the turning of the millennia, in the apocalyptic year of 1999, never has the potential for the state of mind which has been the goal of yogic sages, and psychedelic voyagers alike been so possible to attain for humanity as a whole.

'Spirit World : Evidence Of The Ether' is a feature length documentary by Enigma Motion Pictures featuring Chris Everard & David Icke about the esoteric knowledge of ether and the power of magical rituals used by Shamans, Psychics, Scientists and Secret Societies such as the Illuminati to tune into higher dimensions and other worldly beings.


The contents of Chris Everard's documentaries tend to promote the idea of 'evil' associated with secret societies broadly termed as the Illuminati. Evil in our understanding of the term are actions which do not help in the evolution of the Soul, hence we have karma which works on the causal principles of the universe and reincarnation which brings the soul back to further it's evolutionary process and continue to learn. Evil and the idea of demonic forces are no more than illusions of the 'Ego', a false sense of self which feeds on fear brought forth as a result of the illusion of separation from all of creation.

This idea is presented repeatedly throughout most of the Enigma Channel documentaries on the Illuminati hence offering a good opportunity for each one us to transcend the dualistic viewpoint and let unconditional love for all shine within our being and reverberate throughout the cosmos ... Now is when we believe what we know to be true from the deepest recesses of our being ... and realize our role as co-creators in shaping the neo paradigm of Love, Light & Oneness ...





Believe nothing unless it resonates well with your deep inner knowing ... Once the old ways of fear have been transcended, the new light of love will shine on all ... the world will live as One !


((( Shine On )))

The Aquarius Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on the 5th & 6th of August ushers in a wave of new energy to accelerate our spiritual evolution making our journey even more exciting with new dimensions added to our sense of awareness and our understanding of time ...




Here is a channeling by DL Zeta on the spiritual significance of the Aquarius Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse of August 2009 ...

Energies of the August 5/6 lunar eclipse are here now. This powerful energetic opening has been felt with increasing intensity in recent weeks. The third in a triad of summer eclipses, this cosmic doorway carries signatures for emotional sensitivity, spiritual knowing, psychic openings and the recognition of latent creative and artistic abilities.

Interwoven with these signatures are the culminating and expanding frequencies of a full moon in Aquarius. The full moon seeks to bring things to fruition, and in Aquarius it promotes themes of global unity, humanitarianism, creativity and inventiveness. A full moon is always powerful, but with a lunar eclipse, the energies are magnified tenfold.


The Expansion of Aquarian Themes Points the Way to the Future

Aquarius, along with its ruler, Uranus, seeks to create transformation by bringing new perspectives to old situations. Aquarius/Uranus have a profound desire to bring advances in art, science, politics, and literature, and to pave the way for a new type of human understanding that fosters global unity and universal love. The themes of this lunar eclipse point the way to the shape and flow of life on Planet Earth in times to come.


Aquarian Eclipses through the Lens of Time

This week’s lunar eclipse is the last in a series of eclipses in Aquarius that began in February 2008. There will not be another eclipse in Aquarius for another eight years. Through this lens of time, it can be understood how this eclipse signals the end of an era and the beginning of the New Time. The energies are orienting human consciousness to an expanded time.


Summer 2009: The Summer of Transformation

The August 5/6 eclipse is the last in a triad of summer eclipses ushering in a series of reality shifts on Planet Earth. These shifts are occurring on different levels, including Earth changes, personal transformations and challenges, events on the world’s stage, and interdimensional openings.

The lunar eclipse of July 6/7 lifted veils between dimensions, making it easier to receive messages and information from high-level guides and entities. It was followed by a total solar eclipse on July 21/22, the longest solar eclipse of the 21st-century. The energies of that powerful eclipse were designed to open heart centers and clear anything that stands in the way of unconditional love.

This third summer eclipse is an opening that will allow greater access to other dimensions in consciousness. Because a lunar eclipse is created by the Earth’s positioning between sun and moon, it temporarily blocks the sun’s radiance from the moon, opening an energetic portal. This week’s ‘portal’ offers an opening to step free of linear time and experience beyond the space/time continuum.


Global Intention is the Key to this Week’s Lunar Eclipse

Spiritual undertakings already “on the table” at this time can manifest easily and effortlessly. This is especially the case for literary and creative efforts that carry the intention to assist others on a global scale. Humanitarian efforts receive a great boost at this time. Anything undertaken with the intention to assist or bring about the greatest good for all will take wings during this time of the August lunar eclipse.


Expanded Possibilities and Identify Shifts are Supported

This is a time when it’s easy to make timeline and identity shifts, to adopt new regimens, spiritual practices and begin to see one’s self in a new and more expanded light.

This is overall an excellent time to initiate positive change in your life, but being able to fully utilize these energies will require a willingness to release all that stands in the way of the next step of your path.


Clearing the Way for the New Time

As with all things, the old must be cleared to make way for the new. This full moon lunar eclipse has the power to crumble situations not aligned with the energies of the New Time. Relationships may end during this time as those newly awakened are called to examine which connections truly resonate. This can be a time of emotional instability as it seemingly becomes difficult to find any "solid ground" on which to stand. The only thing one can rely on during this time is one’s inner guidance.


Working with this Week’s Powerful Cosmic Portal

The moment of an eclipse is just the opening; its influence can extend into weeks, months and beyond. The portal created this week will extend into coming weeks and months. On a personal level, aspects in one’s astrology chart determine the intensity and timing of eclipse influences. Those with aspects in Leo and Aquarius are likely to feel this eclipse more intensely than others. If the energies feel overwhelming, it’s a good time to consult a professional astrologer to understand what is being asked of you at this time.

This is a time to daily enter a place of openness and allowing. Whatever comes before you this week, remain in a place of compassion, patience and understanding for yourself and others. Bring your focus to themes of teamwork, progress, change, humanitarian goals, global unity and unconditional love. Hold in awareness your highest vision for your long-term dreams and goals and ask your guides for steps of how you can greatly advance manifestations at this time.

There will be a "reactivation" of this week’s themes as retrograding brings them to the forefront again in November 2009 and in January 2010.

Graham Hancock presents 'Underworld : The Mysterious Origins of Civilization' dives deep into many ancient underwater ruins off the coast of Japan, all around the Pacific, off Indonesia and Malaysia, off India, and in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Caribbean. 17,000 years ago and 7000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, cataclysmic events happened in the world our ancestors lived in. Great ice caps over northern Europe and north America melted down, huge floods ripped across the earth, sea-level rose by more than 100 metres, and about 25 million square kilometres of formerly habitable lands were swallowed up by the waves. Marine archaeology has been possible as a scholarly discipline for about 50 years - since the introduction of scuba.

In that time, according to Nick Flemming, the doyen of British marine archaeology, only 500 submerged sites have been found worldwide containing the remains of any form of man-made structure or of lithic artefacts. Of these sites only 100 - that's 100 in the whole world! - are more than 3000 years old. This is not because of a shortage of potential sites. It is at least partly because a large share of the limited funds available for marine archaeology goes into the discovery and excavation of shipwrecks.


This leaves a shortage of diving archaeologists interested in underwater structures and a shortage of money to pay for the extremely expensive business of searching - possibly fruitlessly - for very ancient, eroded, silt-covered ruins at great depths under water. Moreover, with the recent exception of Bob Ballard's survey of the Black Sea for the National Geographic Society, marine archaeology has simply not concerned itself with the possibility that the post-glacial floods might in any way be connected to the problem of the rise of civilisations.

(http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/01/0110_030113_blacksea.html)

In 1997 a chain of mountains almost 2000 kilometres long and more than 3000 metres high was discovered in the South Pacific. Nobody ever knew the mountains were there before because they are under water - as, in fact, is 70 per cent of the earth's surface. Marine archaeologists who are looking for targets much smaller than mountain-ranges under the sea can therefore be forgiven for finding just 100 submerged sites more than 3000 years old in the past half century. Even at the crude mapping level, it is one of the absurdities of scientific priorities that we now have a better map of the surface of Venus than we do of the 225 million square kilometres of our own planet's sea-floor.

On land it is obvious that archaeology still has much more work to do before it can honestly claim to have fully understood (rather than merely theorised about) the process by which the great civilisations of ancient history arose. Vast areas of the earth's surface - the Sahara Desert, for example (which was green for 4000 years at the end of the Ice Age) - have hardly benefited from the attentions of archaeologists at all. And even in countries like Egypt which have been intensively excavated for more than a century new discoveries can still be made that call established views and chronologies into question.

In December 2000 excavations at Abydos in Upper Egypt by a University of Pennsylvania/University of New York team demonstrated that the intriguing religious practise of boat burial - for example the so-called solar boat of Khufu buried on the south side of the Great Pyramid of Giza - is very likely to have predynastic origins. A fleet of 14 boats found buried at Abydos a decade ago were originally assigned to the mortuary complex of Pharaoh Khasekhemwy of the Second Dynasty (circa 2675 BC).

However, after thoroughly examining one of the boats (a sophisticated narrow-prowed "sewn" boat about 23 metres long made of wooden planks lashed together with rope), the excavators now believe that "the ships were buried some centuries before Khasekhemwy's enclosure was built. The fleet may have been intended for use in the afterlife of a much earlier pharaoh, perhaps even Aha [circa 2920 BC], the First Dynasty ruler of Egypt...

(http://www.archaeology.org/online/news/abydos.html)

If this is the case, since the boat-burials at Abydos are far from being the work of beginners, then it seems obvious that the practise -- and the entire wonderful religious apparatus that goes with it -- must predate the First Dynasty. But by how much? Nobody knows. Another interesting development also announced in December 2000 was the discovery of a group of very unusual ancient tombs at Elkab in Upper Egypt. The Elkab tombs are thought to date to the Second Dynasty, although the site itself has yielded evidence of continuous occupation from 8000 years ago until about 2000 years ago.

The tombs are circular stone structures (with diameters of 18 to 20 metres) which in two cases were carefully arranged around large natural boulders. They have been compared with the Neolithic funeral mounds of Europe and, as the Belgian excavators admit, are of a type "thus far unknown in Egypt".

(http://www.usatoday.com/weather/science/archaeology/egyptdawn121200.htm)

So much then for the archaeologists having the whole picture about the evolution and development of any civilisation - even ancient Egypt which has been the subject of more archaeological investigation than any other.

But now let's remember as well that along continental margins and around islands across the world an area bigger than the Unites States of America was inundated at the end of the Ice Age: 3 million square kilometres (an area the size of India) was submerged around Greater Australia alone; another 3 million square kilometres went under around South-East Asia; the Florida, Yucatan and Grand Bahama Banks were fully exposed off the Gulf of Mexico; huge areas of land were swallowed up in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the North Sea and the Atlantic, etc, etc, etc - the list really does goes on and on. In my view the possibility of a serious "black hole" in scientific knowledge about recent prehistory is plausible, reasonable and worthy of consideration.

I therefore propose that the conclusions of modern archaeology regarding the origins and early evolution of human civilisation should be treated as provisional until a comprehensive, global, marine-archaeological survey of continental shelves down to depths of at least 120 metres has been undertaken. - Graham Hancock
