Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Lisa: This is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_eye concerning the Pineal gland and DMT (dimethyltryptamine) " Physical basis: the pineal gland? Some, including Rick Strassman, have suggested that the third eye is in fact the partially dormant pineal gland, which resides between the two hemispheres of the brain. This concept is supported by the pinealocytes, one type of cells within the pineal gland, having a strong resemblance to the photoreceptors of the eye. Additionally, the pineal gland is said to excrete dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is believed to be a chemical precursor to dreams, near-death experiences, meditation, visions, and other forms of awareness that aren't well understood yet. While still speculative, this indicates that the pineal gland could be the physical manifestation of the third eye. Various types of lower vertebrates, such as reptiles and amphibians, can actually sense light via their pineal gland which serves to synchronize their circadian rhythm to the daily light/dark cycle. Current medical understanding states that the pineal gland is a producer of the hormone Melatonin, which has a role in regulating the body's circadian rhythm to the daily light/dark cycle and also assists with the immune system.
