*~Look to the pine cone for the answer oohm~*

Pop quiz. name the parts in the eye that translate light into colors and shades of black and white.

Answer: the rods and cones, you knew that,  the good old rods and cones, specialized cells that have photo receptors.

Now, answer this. Why does your pineal gland (named for it’s pine cone shape) have similar rods and cones? There’s no light getting in to the middle of your brain! Did God make a mistake? Did satan put them there to confuse us like he did with dinosaur bones? Did we once have a big hole in our heads that evolution closed up?

Maybe all the ancient religions were right. The pineal gland, symbolized by the pine cone since the time of the Egyptian Pharaohs (at least), is our third eye, the eye that connects us to the infinite…

The concept of the third eye is something we experience everyday, our Hindu friends often wear the tilaka (that dot on the forehead) and popular culture is full of references to it.

So why is it so taboo a subject? Why is our innate spirituality so woo-woo?

  1. Daylight Saving has kicked my butt, so I can’t stay awake long enough to watch the whole video – I’ve got tomorrow off; I’ll watch it then.

    As far as the third eye goes, I am convinced that there’s SO much that we’re JUST on the cusp of knowing and understanding and being able to do. I almost feel as though all I need is a little shove – a good teacher or the right experience – to put me in the place where I can tap into all that stuff that is JUST on the edge of my awareness. Yoga and mindfulness are bringing me closer, but I’m still not quite there… yet…

  2. This post is inspiring, fresh and ultra awesome! You have a very progressive looks. Reading this blog is a great pleasure.
