Third Eye
The Pineal Gland / Third Eye / Ajna Chakra

  • The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain. It is located near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, close to the emotional centers.
  • René Descartes, French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. Dubbed the "Founder of Modern Philosophy" and the "Father of Modern Mathematics and Science," called it the seat of the soul.
  • It is associated with the sixth chakra, the Ajna chakra or third eye. It is believed by some to be a dormant organ that can be awakened to enable "telepathic" communication.
  • The Pineal Gland produces a chemical called DMT, N,N-dimethyltryptamine an extremely short-acting but very powerful psychedelic.
  • Dr Rick Strassman, who in his research gave sixty volunteers nearly 400 doses of DMT, speculated about endogenous DMT's role in dreams, meditation & spiritual experiences, birth, alien entity contact, near-death & death experiences in his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule.
  • The research by dr Rick Strassman showed it could very well be the entry and exit to this and other worlds, aswell as the collective unconscious.
  • In the wonderful documentary series Magical Egypt, John Anthony West explains that Rene Schwaller 's work shows ancient Egypt was already well aware of the chakra system aswell, as they built The Temple of Luxor based on it.

    Excerpts from DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman:

  • The pineal gland is unique in its solitary status within the brain. All other brain sites are paired, meaning that they have left and right counterparts; for example, there are left and right frontal lobes and left and right temporal lobes. As the only unpaired organ deep within the brain, the pineal gland remained an anatomical curiosity for nearly two thousand years. No one in the West had any idea what its function was.
  • Interest in the pineal accelerated after it attracted Rene Descartes's attention. This seventeenth-century French philosopher and mathematician, who said, "I think, therefore I am," needed a source for those thoughts. Introspection showed him that it was possible to think only one thought at a time. From where in the brain might these unpaired, solitary thoughts arise? Descartes proposed that the pineal, the only singleton organ of the brain, generated thoughts. In addition, he believed the pineal's location, directly above one of the crucial byways for the cerebrospinal fluid, made this function even more likely. He thus proposed that the pineal gland somehow was the "seat of the soul," the intermediary between the spiritual and physical. The body and the spirit met there, each affecting the other, and the repercussions extended in both directions.
  • The human pineal gland becomes visible in the developing fetus at seven weeks, or 49 days, after conception. Of great interest to me was finding out that this is nearly exactly the moment in which one can clearly see the first indication of male or female gender. Before this time, the sex of the fetus is indeterminate, or unknown. Thus, the pineal gland and the most important differentiation of humanity, male & female gender, appear at the same time.
  • I already knew that the Tibetan Buddhist Book of the Dead teaches that it takes 49 days for the soul of the recently dead to "reincarnate." That is, seven weeks from the time of death of one person elapses until the life-force's "rebirth" into its next body. I remember very clearly, several years later, feeling the chill along my spine when, reading my textbook of human fetal development, I discovered this same forty-nineday interval marking two landmark events in human embryo formation. It takes forty-nine days from conception for the first signs of the human pineal to appear. Forty-nine days is also when the fetus differentiates into male or female gender. Thus the soul's rebirth, the pineal, and the sexual organs all require forty-nine days before they manifest.

    During his research Strassman encountered an uneasy frequency of Alien Entity contacts which he was not really prepared for, the volunteers reported that these experiences were different from the other effects and trip states of DMT and seemed "more real than real."

  • # Contact Through the Veil: 1
    Reports of "entity" contact are found even in early 1950's human DMT research. Included here are excerpts from volunteers' sessions in which entity contact was a significant aspect of a particular DMT session. Lucas approached a landing bay on a space station, accompanied by humanoid automatons. Chris met three reptilian creatures who opened up their bodies, showing him the nature of their reproductive processes. Jeremiah landed in a nursery where alien caretakers looked after him, but only in a most casual manner. He then experienced a session in which his brain was reprogrammed by a "master technician" sitting at a computer console. Dmitri found himself tested, probed, and examined by "aliens" in a high technology laboratory, and made a deeply sensual connection with one in particular, "who seemed in charge." Ben also found himself on an examination table; however, the beings appeared to him as Saguaro cactus creatures, one of whom implanted a probe under his skin. When Ben came to, he was convinced that this implant was a tracking device and had no doubt about its real, but intangible, presence. I address volunteers' and my difficulties making sense of the unexpectedly high frequency of contact with beings. Biological, psychological, or symbolic explanations generally fell flat, so I compromised by responding to volunteers' stories with the thought-experiment: reacting to them "as if they were true."
  • # Contact Through the Veil: 2
    This chapter discusses two volunteers' extraordinarily detailed and complex encounters with beings. Rex's heart, his emotional center, was consumed by feasting alien insects during his first high dose, and he was certain he was dying. Relaxing into the experience, the eating became sexual, and he was deeply shaken by the idea of sex with alien insects. He returned for additional studies and met a friendly helper "female" insect, or bee-like being, who attempted to communicate with him, but the vibrations this attempt produced in him were unbearable. His last session involved entrance into a "hive of the future," accompanied by another entity, but he lost consciousness upon entering the depth of the hive. Sara's first high dose session was a blast into the void, a terribly frightening experience in solitude. However, regaining her bearings, she felt there was something to see, but wasn't sure if she'd know it when if she encountered it. During her tolerance session she made contact with a "race of beings from another planet" who had lost their ability to experience love and feelings because they had no physical bodies. She generated a tremendous bright ball of light and "passed it over" to them, using her body as a conduit during the exhausting last tolerance session. I discuss the alien contact experience, as summarized by Harvard psychiatrist John Mack in his books Abduction and Passport to the Cosmos, and note the striking resemblances between his reports and those of our volunteers.

    "The discovery of DMT in the human body stimulated much less fanfare than did that of endorphins. Anti-psychedelic-drug sentiment sweeping the USA at the time actually turned researchers against studying endogenous DMT. The discoverers of endorphins, in contrast, won Nobel Prizes..."
