Dr. Strangelove was right!

I my "Share" Kundalini and the Human Laser I was asked about the role of the Pineal Gland.

The Pineal probably modulates the beam created in the cerebral spinal fluid space. The beam I observed was in the visible frequency range but remember Nitrogen has many possible transition states so the system must be working at many levels. The extreme stimulation I induced is not necessary for it to work in normal consciousness. We all may be lasing at subtler levels and this could explain the “sense of being stared at” proven by Sheldrake. The phenomenon may even affect our ability to “connect” and feel Empathy. Hyperbaric chambers are currently mysteriously being used to treat Autism.

What would happen to a society that replaced or screwed up its natural Calcium photonic crystals in the Pineal with say Fluoride? Maybe Dr. Strangelove was on to something.

Wikipedia (caveat emptor) reports, "Pinealocytes in many non-mammalian vertebrates have a strong resemblance to the photoreceptor cells of the eye. Some evolutionary biologists believe that the vertebrate pineal cells share a common evolutionary ancestor with retinal cells.⁷

"In some vertebrates exposure to light can set off a chain reaction of enzymatic events within the pineal gland which regulate circadian rhythms.⁸ Some early vertebrate fossil skulls have a pineal foramen (opening). This correlates with the physiology of the modern "living fossils", the lamprey and the tuatara, and some other vertebrates which have a parietal organ or "third eye" which, in some of them, is photosensitive. The third eye represents evolution’s earlier approach to photoreception.⁹ The structures of the third eye in the tuatara are homologous to the cornea, lens and retina, though the latter resembles that of an octopus rather than a vertebrate retina. The asymmetrical whole consists of the "eye" to the left and the pineal sac to the right. "In animals that have lost the parietal eye, including mammals, the pineal sac is retained and condensed into the form of the pineal gland."⁹

"Unlike much of the rest of the mammalian brain, the pineal gland is not isolated from the body by the blood-brain barrier system;¹⁰ indeed it has profuse blood flow, second only to the kidney.⁶

"Fossils seldom preserve soft anatomy. The brain of the Russian Melovatka bird, about 90 million years old, is an exception, and it shows a larger-than-expected parietal eye and pineal gland.¹¹

"In humans and other mammals, the light signals necessary to set circadian rhythms are sent from the eye through the retinohypothalamic system to the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) and the pineal."

On a personal level, while in deep meditation back in the latter 60s I felt the center of my forehead pulsate vigorously as if it were a diaphragm driven by an alternating energy coming from deep within the center of my brain. My soul consultant OM told me it was my pineal gland. Soon thereafter I began having very accurate and reliable paravisual experiences(some would term "psychic"). If interested you may want to read about three examples in the following shiftinaction.com blogs:

Gay-ser?

Submitted by Eric Peterson Jr. on February 7, 2010 - 7:35am.

Thanks for the thoughtful information Bob. I too have a very active forehead and can feel the muscles pulsing anytime I concentrate, thank the Source its not painful like some migraine suffer might experience. I think we should ask Dean Radin at the Noetic Institutes lab to test our frontal lobes with his EEG. I am not entirely convinced my Human Laser and Cone of Attention observations were solely electromagnetic. Since I don’t think we can test for strong or weak nuclear forces that leaves only Gravitation as a possible other testable player. Could there be such a thing as a GASER (pronounce Gay-ser)?

When I mentioned the role of the Pineal as a modulator of the Beam I should clarify that that would include its role as a transducer of incoming information. Those ripples we feel on our foreheads are definitely produced by our frontal lobes which modulate the outgoing beam with our Intension.

I have no idea, Eric . . .

. . .whether there "be such a thing as a GASER" but it may be worth investigating.

Back in the early 80s my EEGs were tested at the Menninger Foundation's biofeedback lab by psychophysiologist Elmer Green and his wife Alyce. At that time all they had the capability of testing was for beta, delta, and theta brain waves (no delta). The feedback Green's EEG machines gave me is that when I was receiving parasensual (psychic or clairvoyant) data I had a sensation in the center of my forehead at the same time my theta brain wave showed activity. Further, while wide awake (in beta) and at the same time receiving telepathic information from the outer world all three -- beta, delta, and theta activity registered on the graph. In this vein you may be interested in checking out "My Inner Transformational Experiences & Their Brainwave Patterns: An Integral Noetic Approach" http://www.shiftinaction.com/node/3520

To my knowledge theta is still considered to be the main parasensual (telepathic) brainwave (probably connected to the pineal gland), although recently a "new" brainwave tabbed gamma has shown up in studies of highly experienced Tibetan Buddhist monks in meditation (2009). I am interested to know if Radin has EEG equipment sensitive enough to register the higher Hertz ranges (over 25 hz) associated with Gamma.

Of even greater interest to me is the report that UC San Diego cognitive neuroscientist Scott Makeig (2009) has created a mobile system using EEG that can isolate and record brain activity and its relationship to the body while the wearer moves around naturally (earlier EEG systems require subjects to be still). Involving 256 electrodes, software integrates the brain and body data to reveal which parts of the brain drive each motion. Makeig says early experiments have already shown that ". . . surprisingly large portion of the cerebral cortex is engaged in even the simplest actions, such as reaching out to touch an object."

As to your assertion "Those ripples we feel on our foreheads are definitely produced by our frontal lobes which modulate the outgoing beam with our Intension" I wonder what Scott Makeig's research shows.

Eric, thank you for the interesting blog.

Best wishes,

Bob
