The pineal gland is a small, pea-shaped gland, that is located in the center of the brain, behind and above the pituitary gland. Unlike much of the rest of the brain, this gland is not isolated from the body by the blood-brain barrier system.
René Descartes believed the human pineal gland to be the “principal seat of the soul.”
Functions
The pineal gland produces melatonin, a serotonin-derived hormone that modulates sleep patterns in both circadian and seasonal cycles. Your circadian rhythm is a 24-hour biological cycle, which is characterized by sleep-wake patterns.
In addition, the pineal gland plays an important role in the regulation of female hormone levels, and it may affect the menstrual cycle and fertility.
A 1985 study conducted on people with impaired pineal glands established that damage to the pineal gland is linked with declines in the sense of direction. This suggests that this gland may play an important unrecognized role in spatial navigation.
According to theosophy, the pineal gland is an important psychophysiological center and the source of intuition and clairvoyance. As a chakra, the pineal gland represents the point at which the body receives energy from the universe, which keeps our lives sustained.
Many believe the abilities that this gland offers come from its capacity to naturally produce its own DMT when fully operational.
Calcification
The pineal gland often appears calcified in x-rays, that is typically due to fluoride, phosphorus, and calcium deposits which build up with age. Furthermore, the pineal gland is suppressed by electromagnetic fields released by mobile phones and other wireless devices.
Most people over the age of 18 have a calcified pineal, where a hard shell forms around the gland, and our access to the astral realm is effectively shut off.
According to many esoteric schools, having a calcified pineal gland can result in:
envy;
delusions;
pessimism;
confusion;
jealousy;
impaired perception of reality;
neurological disorders;
paranoia;
anxiety;
depression;
a tendency to over-analyze.
