Enlightenment, Fluoride and the Pineal Gland..Third Eye Pinecones.....Awaken Your Third Eye...Catholic religious tradition is intricately interwoven with pinecones, perhaps most prominently atop the sacred staff carried by the Pope himself.

Throughout the span of recorded human history, Pinecones have served as a symbolic representation of Human Enlightenment, the Third Eye and the Pineal Gland.

Conifer Pine Trees are one of the most ancient plant genera on the planet, having existed nearly three times longer than all flowering plant species. The Pinecone is the evolutionary precursor to the flower, and its spines spiral in a perfect Fibonacci sequence in either direction, much like the Sacred Geometry of a rose or a sunflower.

Our “Pine”al Gland, shaped like (and named after) the Pinecone, is at the geometric center of our brain and is intimately linked to our body's perception of light. The Pineal modulates our wake-sleep patterns and circadian rhythms, remains uniquely isolated from the blood-brain barrier system, and receives a higher percentage of blood flow than any other area of the body save the kidneys.

It is considered by many to be our biological Third Eye, the "Seat of the Soul," the “Epicenter of Enlightenment” -- and its sacred symbol throughout history, in cultures around the world, has been the Pinecone.The Egyptian Staff of Osiris, dating back to approximately 1224 BC, depicts two intertwining serpents rising up to meet at a pinecone. Modern scholars and philosophers have noted the staff’s symbolic parallels to the Indian “Kundalini,” a spiritual energy in the body depicted as coiled serpents rising up from the base of the spine to the Third Eye (Pineal Gland) in the moment of enlightenment. Awakened Kundalini represents the merging and alignment of the Chakras, and is said to be the one and only way to attain the “Divine Wisdom” bringing pure joy, pure knowledge and pure love.

Depictions of Hindu deities are also interwoven with both literal and symbolic representations of serpents and pinecones. In some cases, Hindu gods are carved, sculpted or drawn holding a pinecone in outstretched hand. Shiva, the most prominent god in the Hindu tradition, is consistently depicted with a head, or coiled hair, shaped in marked similarity to a pinecone and interwoven with a serpent or serpents.

In addition to spiritual consciousness and enlightenment, pinecones have also historically been used as symbols of everlasting or eternal life. Ancient Assyrian palace carvings, dating back to 713-716 BC depict four-winged God-like figures purposefully holding aloft pinecones, or in some cases, using a pinecone to pollinate their depiction of the Tree of Life -- a tribute, perhaps, to both the Pinecone’s immortality symbolism and its role as an icon of enlightenment.In yet another culture’s tribute to the Pinecone as symbolic of spiritual ascension and immortality, a statue of the Mexican god “Chicomecoatl” (“Seven Snakes”) again depicts the deity offering forth pinecones in one hand, and an evergreen tree in the other.

The Greeks and Romans also incorporated the Pinecone into their elaborate systems of religious belief and mythology. Dionysus, later known as Bacchus to the Romans, was continually depicted ca rrying a “Thyrsus,” a fennel staff woven with ivy and leaves and topped with a pinecone. The Thyrsus, purported to drip with honey, was regularly used as a sacred instrument at religious rituals and fetes.

Romans later built an enormous bronze sculpture, the “Pigna,” in the shape of a huge pinecone three stories tall. According to a popular medieval legend, the sculpture stood on top of the Pantheon, as a lid for the round opening in the center of the building's vault. The Pigna is confirmed to have served as a large fountain overflowing with water next the Temple of Isis in Ancient Rome, however, the gigantic statue now sits directly in front of the Catholic Vatican in the “Court of the Pinecone.”Catholic religious tradition is intricately interwoven with pinecones, perhaps most prominently atop the sacred staff carried by the Pope himself. The Coat of Arms of the Holy See, found on the Vatican flag among other places, features a stacking of three crowns suspiciously similar in shape to a pinecone. The very name, “Holy See,” appears to many to be a direct reference to the Third Eye…

Pinecones also turn up as sources of “illumination” in the church, such as candleholders and lamps, seemingly symbolic of the spiritual illumination the Third Eye represents. All of these factors lead conspiracy theorists and philosophers to accuse the Catholic church of using Christianity/Catholicism as a veil to blind the public to true spiritual enlightenment: The awakening of our Pineal Gland.One theory proposes that the Pinecone was actually the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, purported in Genesis to have been eaten by Eve at the urgings of a serpent, and leading to the eviction of mankind from the Garden of Eden. This concept proves particularly provocative given the consistent reappearance of pinecone images with serpents and snake references across cultures.

The Bible itself alludes to pinecones and the Pineal Gland on several occasions, sometimes quite specifically. Beginning in Genesis, Jacob wrestles all night with God, and is commanded to change his name to Israel. The bible then purports the following:

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. And as he passed over Peniel the sun rose upon him.

--Genesis 32:30-31

(Literal Biblical translation of the word “Peniel” means “Face of God”)

In another interesting passage, Matthew seems to provide an uncannily similar description of the Third Eye to texts of the Yogic and Hindu spiritual traditions. This verse is also interesting because the Pineal Gland is the only part of the brain that is “single,” not possessing a left and right hemisphere.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.

--Matthew 6:22

Matthew’s description also appears pertinent to recent pineal experimentation conducted in amphibians. Pineal supplementation in frogs, which possess a more prominent Pineal Gland, results in a physical “lightening” of their entire skin pigmentation. The Pineal Gland in some reptiles actually still contains “rods“ and “cones“ as in our retinas, and is capable of directly perceiving light.

This final verse from Hosea, seems to more directly address the connection between spirituality and the Pinecone/Pine Tree:

O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols?

I will answer him and care for him.

I am like a green pine tree;

your fruitfulness comes from me.

--Hosea 14:8

In addition to critical theories relating to Christianity and the Catholic Church, conspiracy theorists also point to the presence of pinecones in Freemason architecture and symbolism as another example of organized spiritual oppression. They believe the Freemasons fully understand the spiritual significance of the Third Eye, and regularly pay iconic tribute to it, while continuing to placate the masses with a doctrine of religious and cultural dogma.

Pinecones regularly appear framed in Freemason Octagons on the ceilings of Masonic Lodges, and Large Freemason sculptures on the side of the Whitehall Building in the New York Financial District goes so far as to depict two enormous intertwining snakes spiraling up to a pinecone overlooking Battery Place (which is striking similarity to the Staff of Osiris).

Psychopharmacologist Rick Strassman believes the Third Eye/Pineal Gland to be the source of the psychedelic Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in our bodies. Strassman has hypothesized that large amounts of DMT are released in our bodies during heightened states of spiritual consciousness, such as birth, death and near-death experiences -- or perhaps during the awakening of our Kundalini in a moment of Enlightenment.

Synthesized DMT, or plants containing DMT are often used as recreational psychedelics, or in shamanic ceremonies, such as the Ayahuasca ceremony originating in South America. DMT and/or Ayahuasca users often report intensely entheogenic experiences of spiritual awakening, contact with entities of supernatural or spiritual origin, and the dilation or compression of time.

It is worth noting that among reports of thousands users experiences with Ayahuasca, the Serpent is documented as the the most commonly appearing archeatype in their spiritual/psychedelic visions.

Pinecone related similarities have also shown up in Crop Circles. Although Crop Circles are typically representative of a wide range of items and ideas, the two featured here reflect noteworthy Pinecone/Third Eye parallels…

As with many iconic symbols throughout history (the Swastika, the Christian Cross, the All-Seeing-Eye on the dollar bill), the totemic power of the Pinecone has been used by a broad spectrum of both positive and negative cultural forces throughout history to reference and allude to Spiritual Enlightenment and the Third Eye.

Modern-day organizations appear to be toting the Pinecone’s symbolic power over the masses, while simultaneously disguising its true importance -- and may even be seeking to chemically block or poison our Third Eye via Fluorinated public drinking water.

Third Eye Pinecone Talismans represent a reclamation of the emblematic power and natural beauty of the Pinecone, the Pineal Gland, and the ancient historical heritage accompanying one of Mother Nature’s most compelling organic symbols.

Third Eye Pinecone Necklaces and Talismans are made from the polished cross-section of a living pinecone, sustainably harvested in unique micro-climates, and specially cut, dried, cured and encased in protective resin. They are elegant, natural, unique, and symbolize the evolution of collective consciousness while harnessing the potent spiritual energy of the Pineal Gland and of the Third Eye.

Is fluoride in your water and toothpaste preventing you from spiritual awakening?

No fewer than four people have posed this question to me in the past ten days, so let’s talk about how fluoride might affect spiritual enlightenment.

The theory, in short, is thus: The pineal gland enables a person to become spiritually awakened and exposure to fluoride causes the pineal gland to calcify. Crusty pineal gland = zero enlightenment.

I’m not a doctor or a medical professional of any kind. I’ve never dissected a human brain to observe the pineal gland, calcified or otherwise. And I’m willing to bet that neither have you. How can we know if this is true? Forget about knowing in some empirical way, because you’d have to be able to study at least a few hundred enlightened people, and look inside their brains to boot. That would be fascinating, but good luck with that. You’d have to prove that fluoride actually causes the pineal gland to calcify. Then you’d have to show a link between the pineal gland and spiritual awakening. And to make this all just a little more challenging, you’d have to devise a way to determine whether a subject was enlightened in the first place.

The addition of fluoride to drinking water and dental products is fairly recent, and isn’t practiced everywhere in the world. If this theory were true, one would expect that a) many more people became enlightened prior to the mass introduction of fluoride, with a sudden and sharp decline after b) people living in areas of the world where fluoride exposure is low would continue to have roughly the same or steady occurrence of enlightenment. And one might say that if a calcified pineal gland dulled one’s ability to awaken, it might also lessen the interest in spirituality in general. Yet, in countries such as the United States, the interest in spirituality has only increased to a fevered pitch, and we often hear reports of people awakening, read their blogs, buy their books, watch their interviews on TV or the internet.

Of course, a hundred years ago perhaps just as many people awakened, but very few became known. Now that we have the internet, the perceived prevalence of just about everything, from micro-niche sexual fetishes to spiritual enlightenment, has increased dramatically.

This, and other similar theories, are posted all about the internet. They are interesting, but their veracity can’t be known. It’s compelling to think there is something so clear, definable and actionable standing between you and the awakened state. Perhaps if you stop eating animal products, or grain or sugar…or become a breatharian and stop eating entirely, you’ll awaken. You’ll be pure enough. Or if you go away to some retreat with a spiritual master or program, where you can be away from your job and your family and your everyday life…because those things are holding you down and dulling your ability to achieve awakened clarity. Or, if you could take some DMT or sip some Amazonian tea with a shaman. There is this idea that one must either rid oneself of something or acquire something in order to wake up.

I was exposed to fluoride for a couple of decades. It did not prevent me from awakening. With that said, I stopped using toothpaste and drinking tap water a few years after awakening. Fluoride is classified as a pesticide by the FDA. In my opinion, it is not necessary to add fluoride to anything, so I chose not to expose myself to more of it than normally exists in nature. I drink professionally filtered water and I have brushed my teeth with natural and non toxic substances such as baking soda (bicarbonate) or pure olive oil soap such as savon de Marseilles. I put a teaspoon of pure Xylitol in my mouth after brushing and swish this around for five minutes (if you take up this practice, don’t swallow the Xylitol, spit it out but don’t rinse with water). Around the same time I stopped using all kinds of things that had chemicals in them, like shampoo. I started making my own hand creams, washing my face with natural ingredients like yogurt and rice flour, and removed all products from my home that had harmful chemicals, dyes or synthetic fragrances.

I don’t think this has anything to do with my pineal gland or the awakened state. It’s just healthier not to expose yourself to so many chemicals, carcinogens and irritants. So if you are concerned about the effects of fluoride, or any other pervasive substance in your environment, by all means remove it. Creating a healthy, supportive environment for the body is always a good thing. But do notice if you are falling into Magic Bullet thinking. “If I can just remove this.” or “If I can just add, acquire or achieve that.” It leads us in circles and also makes us gullible.

Notes

While I think Xylitol is great as a mouthwash since it kills S. mutans like a boss, I would never eat it. Some people chew gum with Xylitol in it, but it is very expensive and has little Xylitol in it. The most effective and economical way to use Xylitol is to just buy a tub of it and use a teaspoon after brushing. If you can manage to rinse with it after meals (carry a small container of it with you), all the better. It’s a very strange feeling to rinse your mouth with something that has the taste and texture of sugar in order to avoid cavities! But it does suppress S. mutans, and bacteria cause cavities, not sugar. Xylitol is fatal to dogs, even in fairly small quantities. Take the proper precautions if you have canine family members.

Savon de Marseilles and pure Castile soap are fantastic, natural and safe alternatives to all kinds of detergents, in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Make sure your bar of Marseilles soap says it’s 72% oil, or huile, and has no fragrance or dye.

Baking soda is quite abrasive, so I wouldn’t recommend using this every single day. Brushing with pure olive oil soap is the best. Use baking soda every other day or so. If you want to remove stains, you can break open a capsule of food grade activated charcoal and brush with that once a week, or month, depending on your needs.

In spite of not using any store bought dental products for a decade and not drinking fluoridated water, I’ve never had a cavity. The idea that we need these things, and that without them our teeth will crumble in our mouths, is untrue.

I don’t know which filtration system is best to remove fluoride from water. The area I live in does not fluoridate, but I still buy filtered water anyway because there are all kinds of other things in water, like chloramines, that I prefer to avoid. I believe the water is filtered first, then subjected to reverse osmosis.

Remember, you can’t remove every harmful thing from your environment. Do what you can, when you can, but don’t lose sleep over it.
