The pineal gland

When someone sits in a chair with closed eyes while meditating and experiences a significantly heightened sensory perception without the senses, the question arises: What happens in the brain that can explain this supernatural effect?

Does the pineal gland (or the third eye) pick up higher frequencies and, as a result, become awakened? Do these higher energies alter the chemical composition of melatonin; the higher the frequency, the more it is changed? This transformation of information into chemical substances prepares us for transcendent, mystical moments; thus, we open the door to higher dimensions of space and time.

That is why I like to refer to the pineal gland as the Alchemist – because it transforms melatonin into highly effective neurotransmitters. Through the connection to deeper levels of the unified field, the brain is activated by a higher energy that carries specific information in the form of thoughts and images. In that moment, the brain and body are biologically "upgraded."
