The Pineal Gland: Portal to the Divine
Okay, so I’m inverted on my inversion table at about 60 degrees from horizontal and the lights are out. It’s nearing midnight and I’m gazing at a flickering candle on a low table in front of me, practicing tratak. My intention is to activate and decalcify my pineal gland so that I may naturally experience the healthy and potentially spiritual effects of pineal activation.
Located near the centre of the brain, the tiny pinecone-shaped pineal gland secretes the neurohormone melatonin while we sleep. During moonrise, between 12 am—3 am, we find our peak melatonin release. Melatonin is necessary for our brain to synthesize serotonin; a chemical produced when the sun rises, or when we naturally awaken to the sunrise. I find it interesting how the sun/moon (ha-tha) play an important role in the vital chemicals our brain secretes.
A recent study from Vanderbilt University found an association between circadian rhythms of night and day and the potential of chronic illnesses like cancer, diabetes and obesity. This is due to the disruption of the pineal gland and melatonin’s cronobiological connection to Earth’s rotational 24 hr. light and dark cycle (circadian rhythm). (See link below for more information on this study.)
- Melatonin is the most powerful antioxidant that the body’s pharmacological storehouse produces. Each year, more and more scientific study of this powerful antioxidant and its ability to help with immune disorder, chronic illness and neurodegenerations is occurring.
- Serotonin, the happy, day chemical becomes deficient if we are not secreting melatonin, after the moonrise. This leads to depression in the day and widely used anti-depressants like Prozac, the synthetic pharmacological equivalent.
Science currently states that the pineal gland started out as an eye and it received signals from light and our retinas. Did this eye shrink back into the brain once its tasks were taken over by two new eyes? Was this eye a spiritual connection to previous spiritual and evolutionary states? Our cultural histories are filled with folklore of one eyed and three eyed beings e.g., Shiva and Cyclops. In Hinduism, the Sarashara is a multilayered lotus that looks like a pineal gland’s pinecone and the primary function is to perceive universal oneness.

In the metaphysical sciences, John Anthony West of the Magical Egypt series gives an eerie lesson on the Temple of Luxor as he describes the temple in great detail, from the entrance at the feet to the head, the Holy of Holies. There we arrive at the inner chamber of the pineal gland, the portal to the divine.

The winged disk, so often found in antiquity, correlates to the pineal gland.
In the Magical Egypt series, Dr. Rick Strassman, M.D., author of DMT—The Spirit Molecule, wrote that the pineal is the seat of consciousness. Rene Descartes, Renaissance mathematician and philosopher, after many years studying this gland, first believed that the pineal gland was the seat of the soul.
Science believes that the pineal gland forms fully forty-nine days after gestation. Dr. Rick Strassman found an interesting correlation between this and the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which states that this is the time period needed for a soul to incarnate. Dr. Strassman talks about how DMT (chemical cousin of serotonin) is released two times in our lives, during birth and death, both times of great stress. He believes that DMT, the spirit molecule, is a portal or transporter of our soul in and out of the body.
In Magical Egypt series, John Anthony West makes it clear that the ancient Egyptian head-piece with the snake at the top depicts the serpent-like energy of Shakti (Kundalini) rising to awaken and activate the third eye. Some temples, like Luxor, reveal a Holy of Holies symbolic of the pineal gland. The pineal seems to be a portal to something very important. Even the Vatican has its own pineal gland pinecone statue for all to see.
Lastly, fluoride, a substance falsely promoted to inhibit tooth decay and systematically put into our water and toothpaste, calcifies our pineal gland, thus inhibiting its ability to produce neurochemicals.
Who allowed this and for what reasons, is another movie in the world of de-evolution. If you have read up to this point, and you want to further your research, I’ve given you some great links below.
The process of decalcification is simple. Besides reading the links below, try meditation on the third eye, resound AUM, invert daily at least 30 minutes and practice Tratak. Limit blue light at night after 8 pm. Sleep between 12am—3am to produce melatonin, drink reverse osmosis water or mineral water (get it checked if you’re not sure), buy Neem toothpaste or another natural toothpaste or use salt. Get rid of fluoride from your world; sweat it out in an infrared sauna.
The pineal gland is a tunnel that leads to some other dimension that plays an important role in human evolution. By practicing lucid dreaming and/or by reading the Rig Veda (follow the link below to read more by By Choudur Satyanarayana Moorthy), we can enter into the tunnel without fear and meet and pass the Dweller on the Threshold moving beyond the many doors into the realms of the gods from whence we came. Try not to go back to sleep. I keep telling myself, that one day, we will fully understand the riddles put before us and enter into a new level of being and understanding and world of enlightenment. I continue to gaze with awe at the flickering flame.
An eye is meant to see things. Rumi
