Our pineal gland otherwise known as our master gland or the gland that governs over our third

eye is the center of psychic awareness in the human mind. It is about the size of a pea and sits inside a cave located behind the pituitary gland. It naturally produces a hormone called melatonin which regulates human daily body rhythms that deal directly with the day and night cycles. Developing and expanding the function and the energy of your

pineal gland is extremely important as it affects every system in your body physically and it has the potential to determine the expansion or the contraction of your psychic awareness, consciousness, and experience. The pineal gland (also called the pineal body, epiphysis cerebri, epiphysis or the third eye) is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces the serotonin derivative melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and seasonal functions. Its shape resembles a tiny pine cone (hence its name), and it is located near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two rounded thalamic bodies join. Every human beings Pineal Gland or The third eye can be activated to spiritual world frequencies and enables you to have the sense of all knowing, godlike euphoria and oneness all around you. A pineal gland once tuned into to proper frequencies with help of meditation, yoga or various esoteric, occult methods, enables a person to travel into other dimensions, popularly known as astral travel or astral projection or remote viewing. With more advance practice and ancient methods it is also possible to control the thoughts and actions of people in the physical world. Yes, it is bizarre, but the United States, former Soviet Union governments and various shadow organization have been doing this type of research for ages and have succeed far beyond our imagination. Pineal Gland is represented in Catholicism in Rome; they depict the pineal as a pine cone in art. The ancient societies like the Egyptians and the Romans knew the benefits and exemplified this in their vast symbologies with a symbol of an eye. Pineal Gland reference is also in back of the U.S. dollar bill with what is called the all seeing eye, which is a reference to the ability of an individual (or

group of individuals) to use this gland and go to the other side (spiritual world) and possibly control the thoughts and actions of people in the physical world by knowing what they are thinking at all times in our physical world. Various research being conducted so far confirms that there are certain periods in the night, between the hours of one and four in the morning where chemicals are released in the brain that bring about feelings of connectedness to ones higher source.

In the late 90s, a scientist by the name of Jennifer Luke carries out the first study the effects of sodium fluoride on the pineal gland. She determined that the pineal gland, located in the middle of the brain, was a target for fluoride. The pineal gland simply absorbed more fluoride than any other physical matter in the body, even bones. Pineal gland is like a magnet to sodium fluoride. This calcifies the gland and makes it no longer effective in balancing the entire hormonal processes through the body. Various Researches ever since have proved Sodium Fluoride goes to the most important gland in the brain? Its the only thing that attacks the most important center of our gland in the brain. Its prevalent in foods, beverages and in our bath and drinking water. Sodium Fluoride is put in 90% of the United States water supply. Water filters you buy in supermarkets do not take the fluoride out. Only reverse osmosis or water distillation. The cheapest way is to buy a water distiller. Sodium Fluoride is in our water supply, food, pepsi, tooth paste, mouthwashes, coke, to dumb down the masses, literally!. The fluoride was

introduced into the water by the Nazis and the Russians in their concentration camps to make the camp population docile and do not question authority. If you take away the seat of the soul, this disconnects our oneness with THE MOST HIGH and power of our source our spirituality and turn us into a mundane slave of secret societies, shadow organizations and the control freak corporate world.

The pineal gland controls circadian rhythms and creates melatonin and pinoline. This pinecone shaped gland is only the size of a grain of rice, but it is essential to healthy sleeping patterns, dreams, and the transition of puberty. The pineal glandalsohas an aura of mysticism and mystery surrounding it, often referred toas thethirdeyewhich unlocksmankindslatentpsychicabilities. The pineal gland is located in the center of the brain, but lies outside thebloodbrain barrier and receives massive amounts of blood flow, especially for its size. This tiny gland gets almost as much as the kidneys. Melatonin molecules are derived from the neurotransmitter serotonin. Melatonin is then converted in small amounts to pinoline. Since serotonin comes from the amino acid tryptophan, all three are related and reliant onthisessentialaminoacid. Melatonin acts as an antioxidant and a hormone that induces drowsiness and lowers body temperature to prepare for sleep. Production of melatonin is inhibited by light on the retina and then increases in darkness. As an antioxidant, melatonin easily crosses cellular membranes and the bloodbrain barrier andprotects DNA fromdamagedoneby free radicals. Melatonin also seems to boost the immune system and slow the aging process. Pinoline is a powerful antioxidant that protects lipids from oxidation damage.Ascellular membranes are composed primarily of lipids,this means pinoline is a key compound in

protecting cells and preventing premature aging. Pinoline also shares some characteristics with psychotropic drugs and may be part of the process that induces dreaming.Italsoseemstocounteractsomesymptomsofdepression. The function of the pineal gland also controls when puberty begins. Scientists are uncertain ifthisisdonebymeansofmelatoninorsomeothercompound,but destructive tumors on the pineal gland result in early, or precocious, puberty. This causes some concern as this gland is susceptible to calcification, where minerals from the blood accumulate in the gland and impair itsfunction.Fluorideis particularlytroublesomeasit accumulates in high amounts in the pineal gland, higher concentrations than can be found in teeth. Fluoride may be responsible for the earlier maturationofchildren,sleep disorders,prematureaging,andmuchmore. Whether you believe in thepinealglandasathirdeyeornot,thereissomeevolutionary links between this gland and eyes. In manyanimals,the pineal gland still acts as a third eye and actually breaks the skin, not seeing as we do, but collecting light to help set circadian rhythms, sleeping patterns, hibernation, and migration. In humans, the pineal gland no longer collects light directly, but it is closely tied to the part of the brain that does. The retinas gather in light, send it to the brain to be processed, and this informationispassedontothepinealglandsoitcandoitsjob.

FEEDING THE PINEAL:

Seaweed vegetables that are sun-dried by the sun contain high amounts of vitamin D, many vitamins in the B-vitamin family and iodine. Those vegetables include and are not limited to kombu, arame, wakame, dulse, nori, etc.

Dark leafy greens like our kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, bok choy, collard greens etc are extremely nourishing for the pineal gland as this gland absorbs the properties of the green color of the vegetables and properly distributes them to the appropriate systems of the body so that the body is thoroughly nourished.

Consuming meats including fish that has high amounts of mercury, carbonated beverages, fluoride in our water and our toothpaste and access to smog negatively affect the pineal gland and can block its ability to function properly. When you consume meat from an animal, you are ingesting the DNA of that animal and therefore taking on the negative and positive experiences of an animal which could interrupt the ability of the pineal gland to take on its own psychic awareness blueprint of the individual.

The proper foods can positively affect your pineal gland but you can also
activate your pineal gland by eating RAW FOODS & SUM STEAMED VEGGIES. As

much as the pineal gland needs sunlight, it also needs to produce enough serotonin to be activated so that it can increase its psychic awareness therefore serotonin is produced when the brain is asleep and therefore sleeping in a very dark room is extremely nourishing for the pineal gland as well. Start with clean, filtered, nonfluoridated water.Eatorganic food asmuchas

possibleasthese dontcontain the toxinsthat can damage the pineal gland.Asit receives a large amount of blood flow, anytoxinsin ourblood streamcan easily reach this vital gland. Get plenty of iodine fromseaweed, kelp, or sea vegetables. Iodine may help the body flush unwanted fluoride. Fulvic acid is a compound found inorganicfoodsandsupplementsfromplantdepositsthathelpspulltoxins from the body. Citrus fruits contain citric acidthatcan break upthecalcification.

HOWDETRIMENTALISCROSSBREEDINGANDHYBRIDIZING?
Crossbreeding and hybridizing was started in the ancient world. This is the practice of creatinganewplant or animalfrom twoormoredifferentwildspecies. The new species has the characteristics of its dissimilar parents but is also

unique. Thisbecame a way ofcreatingdomesticplantsandanimalsthatcouldbe cultivated or controlled. The new species can survive in places and under conditions that the parents could not. Modern day wheat was created this way, people began to live in cities and the original plant did not yield enough to feed large populations. This plant was crossed with another and the end product yielded lots of grain. The new plantswere also bred sotheycould resist certain pestsand couldbeplanted all over the world. Theoriginal grain thatitwasmade fromwasnothigh instarch. Bychangingthegeneticorderthenewplantishigh in starch which is corrosive to human tissues. There are many people who are allergic to wheat andare notaware of these facts. Changingthegeneticorderof wild life forms and creates genetic mineral and chemical imbalances and mutations in the new species and all that eats it. This new creature can also be very destructive to the environment like dairy cows crossed from buffalo and oxen. Cows can notdigest foodwell, they create methanegasandisthenumber onepollutersofairintheUSA. ModernCorn cropsareveryhybridizedandpull allthemineralsoutofthesoiland nothingelsewillgrow. This created the midwestern dustbowl. Cornisalsohigh in starch or carbonic acid. One way to tell ahybridplant is if itdoes not make a seed that can be germinated it has a high probability of being a hybrid. Ifits an animal and does not procreate on its own without mans intervention, and does notlivewildinnaturetheprobabilityishighofbeingacrossbreed.

HYBRIDFRUITS

Whatarehybridfoods? Hybrid foods will not grow in nature. They are crossbreed food which must be nurturedand protected byhumans or elsetheywillbeovercomebybirds,insects worms, fungi and bacteria. Some common hybrid fruits are: seedless apples, several date varieties like kiwis, seedless pineapples, seedless citrus fruit, seedless grapes, seedless persimmons,seedless watermelons. Commonhybrid vegetables include: beets, carrots, corn, potatoes, celery, and cauliflower. Common hybrid nuts,seedsandbeansinclude:cashews,oats,rice,wheat,wheat grass, soy, legumes, and most beans. Common hybrid herbs include: Goldenseal, Ginseng, Echinacea, Chamomile, DonQuay, Aloe Vera, Nutmeg, Comfrey,Garlic. Hybridfoods are missingvitalelectrics, they are unnaturalandhighinbothsugar and starch. They are devoidof propermineralbalancethatallwildfoodscontain. So when we eat a lot of hybrid fruit and vegetables that lead to mineral deficiencies, they cause the bodytobringheavy mineralsfromthebonesintothe blood to buffer the sugar. Thishybridsugar isnotcompletely recognizedby the liver and pancreas. The minerals and sugar are then spilled off into the urine. Hybridsweetfruitandsweetstarchyvegetablescanoverstimulateyouandcause youtoloseminerals.

Hybridfoods canfeedfungalconditionslike Candida whereas nonhybridorwild fruitwillnotleadtosuchacondition. 99% of the food available to us today are hybrid , high in starch and sugar and carry traces of cyanide poison. 50% of these hybrids aremoredetrimental than others.

WHATISGENETICALLYMODIFIEDFOODVIDEO,CLICKHERE FROMHYBRIDS,TOFOODIRRADIATION,TOGMOS:WhatsLefttoEat? The processofhybridization offood began when humansfirstbeganto cultivate the wild foods that grew in their environments. Hybridization became more sophisticatedovertheyearsashumansnoticedcertaintraitsinfoodsandinorder to enhance thosetraitsbegan to selectively breedplantswithotherplants,within the samegenus. (Thisprocess was also occurringintheanimalkingdom.Mostof the animals that surround human lifestyles are domesticated from their wild cousins: cows, dogs,chickens,cats, turkeys,etc.)Desirabletraitsin plants often include greater and more consistent size, sweeter, more pronounced taste, smaller or no seeds, brighter colors. Most of the foods that we consume today have been through the selective breeding process to produce familiar foods. These include most vegetables, like potatoes, corn, tomatoes, apples, carrots, broccoli, rice, all greens, cauliflower, as well as most of the animal foods

consumed. The processofselectivebreedingfordesirabletraitsbeganthesubtlealterationof the DNAofthefoods.Minor changes in genesequenceand structure thatallows for the desirable traits activate or deactivate the genes for the traits of the occurrenceoftheorganisminnature. The subtle alteration of the DNA of the food that humans consume will affect subtle alteration of the DNAof thoseconsumingthefood.Thishappenswhenthe food is broken down into cellular and subcellular components and thenin some casesisrestructuredtotheconfigurationthatthebodycan use.Inothercasesthe cellular and subcellular components are easily bioassimilable. When these components are less than optimal, they may be usablebythebody,butimportant components are missing. This causes the cellstomitosisdaughtercellsthatlook identical but have subtle flaws in their gene sequences. Thus begins the slow decline, the degeneration or devolution of a people into a less conscious, less connected,lessawarestate. Inthisstateofdisconnectionfromselfandenvironmentwhichismicrocosmand macrocosm, internal and externalthedevolutionofconsciousness causesfear to betheprime motivator with resultingattempts tocontrolenergy inallitsforms, rather than to usefocused energyand intentiontocreateand flow withobserved outcomes. These disconnected ones, in fearoftheenvironment, fearingorganisms, germs, viruses, bacteria, molds, developed food irradiation as a means of eliminating pathogens from foods. The disconnected ones in their greed state, unable or unwilling to sensethesubtleshiftintheenergyoftheirradiatedfood,purportedto bamboozle the consumers into consuming more and more dead genetically selected, radioactive food. Consumers in the classic doublethink fearstate could not recognize the term radiation in food irradiation and also unableto see or sense the subtle shifts in energy patterns of the foods, continue, lazily oblivious,toingestradioactivefood. Completely disconnected, with altered DNA, in a fear state and irradiated, the consumers in the U.S. have now been ingesting transgenic food for 10 years. Transgenic food, commonly termed genetically modified is yet the most

insidious form of DNA manipulation occurring to date. Genetically modified organisms cross classification, genus and even species that arose in the evolution of the myriadoflifeforms ontheplanet, tocombine genesequencesin ways that violate the laws of nature and creation out of whichalllifeforms have arisenuntilnow. Withthesameselectivebreedingmentalitythatbroughtabouthybridization,albeit with greater technology, the idea of selecting certain desired traits continues. However, with the adventofgene mapping, researchers cannowisolatethegene that contains the desired trait. With the use of arather relativelyunsophisticated technology, known as a gene gun, the desired genes are fired into the sequence of the DNA of the cells of the targetorganism. Theresult,strawberries with fish genes, tomatoes withpotato genes,sheepwithmonkey genesandother such combinations as befit the fancy of the funders of the research.More often, the traits of singlecelledorganismsarefiredintothegenesequencesofthetarget organisms. Genetical engineering crosses the phenotype barrier to genotype. Phenotype is the appearance or manifestation of the gene sequence,whereasgenotyperelates to the actual gene structure. Hybridization of foods still followed certain laws of naturebecause itallowed wholeseries of genes tobetransmittedbetweenplants within the same genus.For example, awhiterosecouldbebredwitharedroseto produce a pink rose. We are stilltalking aboutplant to plant transmission, within the same family, rosae (check spelling). There is a whole series of genes that is transmitted to the offspringfrom bothparents. Whereaswithgeneticengineering, only one gene or a snippet of a gene is introduced into the target organism, without knowledge of what that one gene inserted into an already existing sequence will produce. Thus the gene is inserted without the accompaniment of other genes or gene sequences with which that gene has existed for millennia. With genetic engineering we cross species barriers, in performance of experiments that have not occurred in this cycle of existence. Perhaps we have forgotten that tampering with natural and physical laws have brought about the endofalloftheothergreatcyclesonearth? The dangers of genetically modifying organisms has been underplayed and it is not in the interest of the agrochemical companies that produce these combinations to disclose. Infact,therearecurrently nolabeling requirementsfor

geneticallymodified foods. IntheU.S., ifthefoodisnotlabeled, nonGMO,then it is safe to assume that it is genetically modified. This process startedquietly in 1995 when Americans were distracted by the Gulf War and Monica Lewinsky (check dates). Meanwhile, around the world, most other countries vehemently protested and defrayed the attempts of Monsanto, Novartis, Dow and others to push gmos down their throats. The agrochemical companies quietly lobbied, wooed, seduced and bedded theircounterpartsinCongress.Andinfactthereisa revolving door policy between the government and these big chemical companies. Moreover, the genetic modificationoffood assures, unless there is a successfulcounter movement,theeliminationofgeneticdiversitythathasexisted on this planet for millennia. Since all that we have to consume is genetically altered food,howisthat affectingus?Ithasbeenproventhatgeneticallymodified organisms, through the natural propagation processes of plants, infects, supersedes and eliminates nongmo foods inthefield. Also, there isaconcerted effort by the agrochemical companies to eliminate heirloom seeds. In the past several years, aggressive grassrootsmovementshave arisenaroundtheglobeto preserveheirloomseedsandthusallofourgeneticheritage. So, whats left to eat? Well, essentially theadviceremains the same. Eat the less tampered with food. Eat organic. Even with the contaminationofgmofoods into the organic sector, the intentionality, love, focus and reverence with whichmost organicfarmers growtheir food putsitatahighervibratoryrateandsubtlyeasier for the body to assimilate.
