Is the pineal gland/third eye real?
    #23920115 - 12/12/16 03:45 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I believe it might be real, but it also might be a bunch of BS created by people to try to get people to become vegan (why someone would do that I don't know). Can anyone here confirm its existence with personal experience? Please be as detailed as possible with your third eye and pineal gland opening experience; I've already read all the generic stuff on how you can see other worlds, see auras, etc. I want to know impacts on daily life, what has changed since it's opened, how do you feel about who you are, how is your social life, etc.

Thanks!

Biological studies indicate it may have contained photo receptors in early evolution. It's primary function is to produce melatonin but it may produce other chemicals. There's no evidence it is used for anything more AFAIK. The third eye as a seeing mechanism I relate to imagination. The imagination uses various parts of the brain but not specifically related to pineal activity. There's also a chakra called the third eye. I relate that to steadiness of thought, remaining calm, metal perception in the absence of bias. I try not to infer mystical properties to the chakras, it's just an observation based on the correlation between thought and feeling. The feeling involved with the third eye, like all chakras is likely a combination of brain activity and a localized effect of the nervous system. For the third eye this would mean the nerves in the forehead on the outside of the skull. I draw no parallels between that chakra and the pineal gland.

Subjectively I can say the third eye is real, it is the thought in my mind, the voice on my shoulder and my friend in hard times.

the Third Eye is a word - use your finger to find what it points to / represents in reality.

If you cannot then you know it is an Aspect or Faculty of your Mind (ie. conjured/figment/imagining or like a mode of operation/state of consciousness)

Just like If you said what is an Eye - you taKE your finger and point to your own Eye and you can touch it and recognize it and it matches.  It has a place holder, it represents something that actually is for the moment , in place and here in existence.  So a word is, a symbol or representation of something that we can point to in reality - or is a pointer to a feeling or thought or state of consciousness or something involved with the mind ie intangible and so is abstract and more subtle)

swimwithme?  lol.  I believe this thread is a bunch of BS created by a puppet who thinks it's somehow cute to bring up the vegan thing.  Why on earth would someone wait months, then post this?  Please be detailed as to your gland opening, and how it changes your gaylie life, how do you feel, how is your gay social life, etc.

Your Welcome!

Lol, don't know why you're so mad. You a vegan guy trying to brainwash people?

I'm confused about the topic. Reading these posts I understand that I should think of the third eye as that inner state of consciousness/being that I'm familiar with on trips and deep meditation. That opens up a new path for me.

All these websites I've read tell you to decalcify your pineal gland, start a vegan diet, meditate, be in nature, etc. I am studying abroad soon and I will have the opportunity to live such a lifestyle. If I go through with it and do everything right, will my third eye really activate?

To me the third eye is our ability to imagine and conceptualise images in what is called mental synthesis. It is the ability of our neocortex to conjure up perception from the contrasting of neural ensembles.

Do you just keep making this shit up as you go along?  It sounds fancy, but I just don't get it.

it's a mystery organ, maybe essential, definitely related to a vestigal light sensor.https://www.britannica.com/science/pineal-gland

And yeah, as for the pineal gland it's related to light exposure, the circadian rhythm and the use of serotonin to metabolize melatonin.

also besides evaluating day night rhythm the pineal has close connections to the cerebellum (which has timing circuits for coordinated activity and language)
and with the reticular formation in the brain stem (which attenuates body sensation and movement during sleep)
combine that with ennervation by both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons (systemic speed up and slow down actions)
and you have a pretty good waking sleeping autonomic control center.

Mhmm, that sounds like the circadian rhythm.

Take this article http://consciouslifenews.com/spiritual-eye-decalcify-activate-pineal-gland/1157083/#
It discusses various techniques to open up the inner light/third eye (whatever you want to call it).

Quote:


1. Stop the calcification of the gland by reducing halides. These come in the form of fluoride, chlorine, and bromide, all of which come into your body primarily through the water you drink and bathe in.
2. Remove the use of pesticides, fungicides, and mercury (from toxic fish primarily), and other toxins from your diet.
3. Stop using sugar, caffeine, and alcohol to numb yourself.
4. Reduce refined starches, they turn to sugar in your body any how, and can impede the functioning of the pineal gland.
5. Reduce stress.
6. Stop Smoking.





Quote:


There are additional yogic practices that help to awaken the pineal gland. They include yoga nidra, discussed extensively in the book Pharma Sutra, and third eye meditations as practiced by yogi, Amrit Desai.





Would following this lifestyle actually open up my third eye? Why should I believe doing all this stuff can actually expand my consciousness? I want to believe it, but I would like to hear some more about what people's experiences with this are; can I truly connect to my higher self this way?

My current goal is to become the cool, wild man I am while tripping shrooms. My mindset changes, and I no longer have fear or anxiety; I am confident, smooth and can easily talk to gorgeous women and attract the kind of friends I want. I feel like some people live on the mindset that I experience while tripping mushrooms.

I think if I can open up my third eye, and connect to my higher self and thus expand my consciousness, I can become this person in my daily life. Am I foolish to believe this could work? Is there something I'm missing? If there's one thing I have it's courage to go in the direction I choose.

Also, a little on the side, but what do you guys think about cannabis and my situation? Should I keep using it? It's enjoyable but I'm not sure if it's contributing to my long-term goal. Thank you all. Your wisdom is truly appreciated

It's almost funny to read that. 

"Oooh ooh if I do this can I do that oooh ooh.  I wanna be cool so if I pretend to be while tripping can I sit at the cool kids lunch table sometime?  Oooh ooh".

The answer is, doubtful. 

Be cool.
