-Caveat Lector- This is a follow up to the pineal/reptile post Peter This is from my Oxford English Dictionary. It is interesting, that the pineal secretes melatonin, which is the stuff the blood drinkers need to prolong life and maintain mental health, remember Karen's Starfire Rituals on website. In my recent studies of psychoactive drugs, psilocybin (organic hallucinogenic mushrooms) and certain other organic stimulants (note; LSD is not organic, nor molecularly similar and is believed to cause false visions) are almost molecularly identical to the structure of Serotonin and allows us to see with the souls eye (photo receptic). See page 49 of The Cosmic Serpent DNA and the Origins of Knowledge. Is it possible that the disappearing children and the slaughtered cattle Pineal Glands are being harvest by these beings? Is it possible that our pineals (souls) are being manipulated to cause a false vision of reality. I am telling you folks, I am going to go on a journey myself soon, and will pass on all relevant insights. pineal (________, _________), a. and n. Anat. [a. F. pinéal, f.

ORIGINAL POST From: "Colin Frost" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Peter, I thought I remembered reading somewhere that what is refered to in medical terms is the Pineal gland. I know we are talking spiritual and not medical, but just out of interest I looked in my (quite old ) encyclopedia to see what it said.: 'A small, pine shaped, reddish body situated in the brain, regarded by some as a ductless gland although no hormone secreted by it has been isolated.It may be a functionless vestigial form of the THIRD EYE found in extinct reptiles.The injection of a purified extract from the pineal body of cattle appears to have good effects in chronic schizophrenia and in lessening the disorders of metabolism which cause it. At present the glands of 15 cattle are needed for each injection. Descartes described the Pineal body as THE SEAT OF THE RATIONAL SOUL, and theosophists regard it as the potential seat of a new sense of divine intuition' Maybe the Britannica site that Karen mentions may have a better more up to date definition.It does seem to be one of the very few parts of the body ( I can only think of the appendix and the tonsils ) that the medics think of as no apparent use to us.But what would be the benefit of actually drilling the hole in the head do? That chap I seen on TV that had actually done it to himself DID seem extraordinary happy unless, of course, he was just nuts! We are about to go on a Journey.
