The
Seat of the Soul, the Pineal Gland & 2012
by Jonathan McGregor Bethel
“The light of the
body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body
shall be full of light.”
Matt 6:22 KJV
If someone were to ask you where the “I” you
realize about yourself is centered in your body, you would undoubtedly
say behind your eyes. Well, that of course makes sense because
our brain is in our head, and this is the place from where our
mind looks out upon the world. However, esoteric thinkers have
thought for a long time that the pineal gland has many mystical
qualities and is the place where the “I AM” consciousness
of our soul enters the body. Rene Descartes is the first one
who called this gland the “Seat of the Soul,” but a
general esoteric understanding of the head chakra being tied to
divine wisdom goes back much further.
Two deep esoteric strands of thought both place the heaven
world, the Nirvanic realm, within the head of man. The Kabbalistic
middle pillar of the tree of life and the Hindu chakra system both
place stacked energy centers along the spine culminating in the mystical
energy center of the Head. Both systems show how the grosser material
tendencies are subsumed in the more rarified higher centers of the
head. These two systems can be utilized to facilitate a complete
integration of the personality under the aegis of the higher self,
as lower personality energies are sublimated into the higher centers
of the head. The pineal gland is a pea-sized gland located in the center
of our brain, and although the pineal is not exposed to the outside
world, the gland is photosensitive; one of its functions is to regulate
our circadian rhythms, our internal natural clock, using light to
govern the pineal gland’s melatonin production.
It has also been discovered that the pineal gland secretes several
very intense psychedelic compounds, notably DMT. Dr. Rick
Strassman has discovered that this compound is excreted by the
pineal gland in large amounts at birth and at death. It is
thought that this substance is the center-piece in people who have
had near death experiences, abduction scenarios, out of body
experiences, and mystical peak experiences. He also found high
concentrations in schizophrenic patients.
This seems to be evidence that when it is fully open, our pineal
gland is indeed a gland in the perception of the great
hologram of the universe surrounding us. It is the third
eye that sees into the spirit realm, the hologram of the Zero Point
field, the mind of God. This third eye, this pineal gland,
can be activated and fully opened through deep meditative practices
and trance work.
Remote location
viewers focus on the third eye in the head when attempting to sense
and project into the etheric realm surrounding us – they seek
to travel the holographic etheric image of reality. There is
really nothing magickal about it; we have just evolved to a point
where we can now utilize hyper-spatial techniques and travel the
etheric hologram.
Some 2012 eschatologists, in addition to me, propose that the
pineal gland is a future organ of perception. It is currently
in a latent phase of operability, but that can change with reversal
of the geomagnetic field. It is believed by some that a magnetic
pole reversal on earth could trigger a mass production of these secretions
in people all over the globe, a molecular vehicle whereby one travels
to a new dimension, an ascension to a new plane of being.
None of us know for certain what will happen in 2012; this is just
wild eyed speculation. However, the next major wave of sunspot
activity is set to occur in 2012. In addition, solar activity
has been on the increase since records started being kept. And
scientists recently discovered that the earth is hotter than it has
been in a million years. Sure, the burning of fossil fuels is
adding horribly to global warming, yet the real culprit in the mounting
earth changes is the solar activity. Not to mention, there are
many anomalous activities occurring all over our solar system caused
by increased solar activity. A solar magnetic field reversal in 2012
during an extremely active cycle would undoubtedly cause a magnetic
polar reversal here on Earth.
So, it is possible that all this hoopla about 2012 is intuitive foreknowledge of
a radical geomagnetic field reversal that will cause us all to excrete
large quantities of the spirit molecule DMT, thereby creating mass
telepathy worldwide, the full crystallizing of the noosphere and
dawning of the Omega Point. I must state that I do not subscribe
to any particular set of circumstances for 2012, as I try to be open
to any new information about our future; however, there is strong
scientific evidence to support this hypothesis.
