Is anyone familiar with the Pineal Gland (Third Eye)?

1. A scientist wrote that quote

2. Many scientists know about that

3. Many old tribes know better the brain than most neurologists nowadays

4. You won't find any proof to support your argument

5. A lot of persons on the planet actually are able to activate the pineal gland (and it's just the start...)

6. Most people are just too lazy to put the time and effort to activate it

7. You now know how to activate your pineal gland, why don't you just close your eyes, take a break, sit down and practice, because that would also allow you to use more than just 5-10% of one of your 2 brain hemispheres. Wouldn't it be stupid to not even try to be not only smarter, but also a better man? :lol:

So what you're saying is, if a person were to shut his eyes and concentrate on imagining things... they will most likely end up imagining things? Huzzah.

I get that it's your placebo-of-choice but i'm not sure you've picked the right crowd to try and convince.

Oh ffs, don't trot that tired myth out. If you truly believe that, can I take a melon baller to the 90% of your brain you're not using? Please?

The exercise I'm talking about also includes in the process what we today call a whole-brain synchronization - the two brain hemispheres are sync, 4 glands are also sync during the process. Let's just say that we usually use only one hemisphere to process the information or create ideas and that specific hemisphere only works at 5 to 15% (usually 5-10%). It's like comparing a single core processor to a dual-core.

To perform that synchronization, you must be in nearly perfect harmony (mentally, emotionally and physically), that's why you need to breathe properly, focus intensively on the pineal gland and shift your emotions to make them vibrate as high as you can. It works, it's easy, a lot of ancient cultures (Buddhism, Sufism, Hindu, Mayans, Kogi, Hopi, etc.) are aware of that information since thousand of years, etc.

The Mayans say that they are here since more than 25 000 years. Most of us would say: "The just are retarded, how could they be more advanced than most people of our modern day civilization (Atlantis VS modern days tech), when they barely have any technological stuff". Well they say that technology isn't a sign of an advanced civilization, but a civilization about to be advanced. Actually we are just studying the matter, what is outside of us to understand how we (our body/ mind) work. That's just related to the principle of correspondence "As above, so below".

Dude, humans, like any other animals with a brain, use their entire brain.
Granted, in some extreme cases individuals are able to survive with a drastically reduced brain size (even up to the proposed 10-15%), but such physical defects also severely limit those individuals' mental capabilities.

The point is: It's all about internal structure and training. And by training I don't mean mystical stuff, but practical training. Even simply playing 3D shooters is "training" in that sense, in that it improves reaction times and general visual recognition abilities. Similar training methods apply to other senses and to more abstract concepts like applying known concepts to new situations.

And of course you can also train your mind to ignore outside influences and generally feel well. Still the way you describe it makes it sound silly. The third eye is just as real as god: It's just a concept to help you with the training of your mind, nothing more.

Self-hypnotism, the sweet spot, the zone. The process you describe is a way to reduce nervous interference. It's a way to connect more deeply with the subconscious mind through the critical barrier that forms at 6 years of age before which the brain is practically an information sponge. I'd like to reach that state.

This is rote learning. You repeat an action until it eventually imprints itself in the mind. This is why kids are taught through recital. There are other ways of learning which uses the human mind's capacity to associate things though comparison and analogy. It is slower process but it probably helps to understand a concept through different angles.

And of course you can also train your mind to ignore outside influences and generally feel well. Still the way you describe it makes it sound silly. The third eye is just as real as god: It's just a concept to help you with the training of your mind, nothing more.

That can be difficult for some individuals. Health problems, pain and trauma can create a lot of interference which can cause the subconscious mind to sabotage your actions to a certain extent. It is about feeling well or secure.

As for the third eye, I don't know about this gland (though it's said to produce melatonin) but the spot where some mystics refer to as the third eye is a nervous spot that is used in the TAT technique to activate the secretion of certain enzymes which can help with severe emotional trauma.

That's the point, it's not a concept and in order to go further in our evolution, we need to master the activation of that gland - believe it... or NOT, it's there. There are many opinions and beliefs, but only one reality.

It's cool how your brain believes things that aren't true and that makes them real for you.

Such rubbish man, if this were all true you'd think this would be world wide news by now. Even the guy Dr Rick Strassman is still studying this. You don't need to add stuff like "chakras", "healing powers", and all that new age stuff. I am not saying spirituality is new age, but the stuff you are on about is new agery. So intresting things can happen, so what? saying that hocus pocus stuff is real is reaching in an unknown subject except that the pineal gland is here which is part of dreaming.

You're fully brainwashed due. There is plenty of news about that, you just don't look at the right places. Chakras and healing powers aren't part of new age at all, in fact.. new age is based on that old knowledge - not the opposite. New Age is just a fancy expression created to describe that many believe that a new world is gonna emerge or already did and not much.

Whatever you find, that doesn't equal what you experience. That's the main difference between physics and applied physics. We actually know from Quantum Physics that everything is just consciousness and consciousness can only be experienced - not seen.

Your research on the Pineal Gland really is weak... there is plenty of valuable information on the web and in various scientific and pseudo-scientific books, but many old cultures also know about it.

You can even find information about the Pineal Gland around and inside the Vatican... you have no idea how important that gland is.

What do you mean by "important?"

Important as in it regulates the biological rhythm through secretion of melatonin. Verified by medical science.

Or important in a mythological sense.
In which case, yes there has been some importance attributed to this gland in mythology: referred to as the location of the soul by René Descartes... It is also associated to the third eye or chakra Ajna or chakra Sahasrara in the Vedas mythology.
But that is all mythology.
