 Hey spirit family, it's been a while hasn't it? I know it might have seemed like things were really quiet on spirit science for a while, but rest assured, behind the scenes there's been a lot of motion. We've been letting you guys know what's up through Patreon and our bi-weekly hangout calls but we haven't wanted to publish any videos on our main channel about it until we've actually had something to share with you. Well, recently, we at long last moved into an actual office and were even able to bring in a few friends to start making video content together. We have an introduction to the studio coming soon as well, but today we just wanted to pop in and say hi for a moment. As we've been building our studio, we've also been opening up to make some new friends, and today we want to acknowledge and honor some new friends of ours, the fine folks at Gaia. These guys have put together the largest network of conscious media in the world. They even have more videos than Netflix, covering everything from world spiritualities to life-changing scientific breakthroughs. They have short films, long films, a massive list of series, and even the world's largest collection of online yoga practices. We wanted to make this video to tell you about it, so that while you're waiting for some new spirit science episodes to watch, there's plenty of stuff on Gaia to check out. Gaia has offered to share a few of their videos on this channel while we're getting our new spirit science episodes rolling, and we wanted to start with this one. This is a short film about the activation of the pineal gland, the third eye. It is especially relevant to us today, as through practices such as meditation and even sacred plant medicine ceremonies, people all over the world are beginning to have powerful spiritual visions of higher worlds. Without further ado, enjoy the activation. Near the center of the brain, we find a tiny pinecone-shaped gland, which may be one of the most wondrous parts of our physical body. We know that the pineal gland produces serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters which regulate waking and sleeping cycles, as well as playing a crucial role in mood. But it may also be true that the pineal produces DMT, or dimethyltryptomy, a neurotransmitter which creates a natural psychedelic state of consciousness. If so, then this little gland plays not only a crucial role in our psychological well-being, but it may hold the key for unlocking the true potential of humanity. In this gland, there is floating water, a reservoir of water, with crystals that actually have piezoelectric properties. There's also another thing called piezoluminescence. If you have a little lighter and you hit the lighter and then you get that little spark that comes out, that's from a crystal being compressed. And as the crystal is compressed, it releases photons. In your brain, you have these little floating crystals that actually have that quality and even better than that. Is there is another characteristic called piezochromism. Piezochromatic crystals are crystals that can release any color of light in the rainbow. Dimethyltryptamine is the main chemical that seems to do this. When DMT is chipped out of a tray that it was synthesized in, you hit it with a screwdriver, bam, you get these big bursts of colored light. Big burst of red, big burst of green, big burst of yellow, big burst of blue. Well you have these little crystals floating in your brain. DMT is this, you know, dimethyltryptamine, it's what they, the theory is that it's what's released by the pineal gland that gives us these elevated states of the inside. Maybe DMT is the lens of our pineal gland, allowing us to see wider areas of reality than are normally accessible to our senses. You remember that image of like a Buddha with the halo? There's always a halo around the Buddha said, or Jesus. People say there's a cross behind him in that halo, but it's the beams of light. It's exactly what you can learn or remember to activate. Many ancient esoteric traditions and mystical schools knew of the potential of the pineal. The ancient Greeks believed it to be our connection to the realms of thought. Buddhists know it as a symbol of spiritual awakening. In Hinduism, the pineal connects with the third eye chakra, the seat of intuition and clairvoyance. Jesus proclaimed that the eye is the lamp of the body, so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. If René Descartes is right and the pineal gland is indeed the seat of the human soul, then these traditions are correct in believing that it serves as the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds. How did they know about the third eye? Because each chakra connects in to an organ. So what fascinates me is the sixth chakra plugs into the pineal gland. The pineal gland has photoreceptors on it, and yet they knew that thousands of years ago before they ever knew that there were photoreceptors on the pineal. So that to me, it shows you that we know a lot more in the past than we even do now with our technology. The pineal gland is lined on the inside with tissue called pinealocytes. These pinealocytes are similar to the rods and cones in the retina of your eye. That's right, it's the third eye. Your brain has a third eye in the center, and it has retinal tissue. It also has the same wiring as your physical eyes do to the visual cortex in your brain. How did they know that all the way back then? That would imply very advanced technology that would have been required for them to gain such incredible information about the brain, and yet they did. And so think about what that means. If you have little crystals that can vibrate and release all the collars of the rainbow, and people claim when they go out of body or have a near-death experience that they see a silver cord. There is a cord linking their astral body to their physical body. Indeed it appears that the pineal gland is our connection to higher dimensions, giving us access to the psychic and spiritual realms. If this is true, then humanity is upon the precipice of a greater awakening as a whole. But this awakening does not come without its challenges and oppositions. It's well known that fluoride interferes with functioning of your endocrine system, the glands. These glands are the gateways to spiritual connection, to energetic layers. And I think what's really going on here is that fluoride shuts the door to spiritual connection. So if you kind of keep the brain locked down, whether it's fluoride in the water, shut down the pineal, aluminum to disrupt the nervous system, you know, these artificial sweeteners, then we're just in a pen. We clearly are not as aware as we could be of our potential and are not living a life that probably is as healing or as generous or as nurturing as we're capable of doing. This is why you get so many people today who are somehow convinced, and mainstream science is teaching this, that you are nothing but a biological skin bag and that you do not have any existence beyond the physical. You have no consciousness, you have no spirit, no free will, and when you die, you're dead and gone and that's permanent. That's a very dangerous philosophy. And we are dealing with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ADHD, all of these neurological diseases. And so I think there's a concerted effort to dumb down the population so that when they figure these things out, they're paralyzed and don't know what to do, don't know how to respond or simply can't grasp the concept that it is happening, which is the bigger picture. In the Book of Revelation, people that have the mark of the beast on the forehead, that's the closed down pineal gland, the closed down third eye that prevents them from having access to the cosmic nature of who they are, and that will be transformed. That's a very important part of what's going on here. Spiritual death is transformed into enlightenment, and it will happen in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. Despite exposure to toxins in our environment, and various chemicals in our heavily processed diets, humanity is still awakening. Every day, the light of a new eon shines upon us, bringing with it an unexpected source of enlightenment. The people don't realize is that your consciousness is governed by light, and the pineal gland is the center of consciousness. The brain chemistry works in accordance with this. So when you wake up in the morning and the receptors in the back of your eye pick up light, the moment that happens, your optic nerve sends a signal to the pineal gland, and the pineal gland starts making serotonin. And serotonin is the daytime neurotransmitter. This is all brain chemistry. It hits your eyes, hits the pineal gland, changes chemicals inside your brain, serotonin suddenly erupts in your brain to get happy. That's all part of consciousness, and it's all guided by the sun. The energy of the earth is higher than it was in 2012, and it will continue to increase. All of the solar storms that are bombarding our earth has been proven to create psychoactive experience. And so the color of light changes your consciousness, and if the sun is changing, then it's possible that our consciousness is changing. And it's all, I believe, part of this greater awakening that we're going through at this time. This pineal gland activation, you could call it that, you could call it the coming golden age, you could call it the energetic shift that we're going through at this time. It could be that the changing nature of the sun over the last 20 years is what's causing the great awakening that's happening. I take the same data that the universities have garnered and draw a different conclusion. Their conclusion may be that an anionic ratio change creates hallucinations. Therefore the hallucinations are not real. I take those studies and say that the anionic ratio change opens doors within the pineal gland and allows us to have multi-dimensional experiences. Knowing that the pineal gland plays a key role to our spiritual evolution, we must undertake the noble effort to make sure our third eye stays open so that we stay connected with the higher realms of being. There is a misconception, I think, for many people that the human auric field is automatically managed. It is not. It requires maintenance. And there are keys and responsibilities to maintaining our auric field. That's why people that are older, they lose a bit of joy of life. So what you can learn very simply by realizing that all that is in your body and that you can reconnect to it, is that you will start to create alpha waves. That's the first step. Then if you've learned how to create these alpha waves, then you can realign all the rest of your head, you know, your pineal gland, your pineal chakra, your pituitary chakra. You can realign everything and then actually you can open up your third eye. You can reactivate these beams of light. You'll be much more psychic, so telepathic, you'll receive more, you'll be much more sensitive. So in the beginning you get this blast, you're like, whoa, you know the world is opening up, but after a while you will just get used to it. It will be normal. So in day to day life, yes, it's useful, at the same time it will become normal. For the first time in history, humanity as a whole is being presented with the opportunity to unlock the dormant potential that's swirling inside each of us. By avoiding toxins, getting sunlight, and undertaking various forms of meditation, one may improve the overall performance of this tiny little gland, and bear witness to the greatest secrets of the universe.
