    ya, wish i could afford to be a paying member of the website but dipping my toes in the water is better than nothing at all.
    remember when subscriptions payed for the cable broadcasts and there were no commercials at all?
    ah 'the internet' what a gift from the two party military dictatorship to the public!

    i hope the new project is better and less restrictive than the 'mobile device' option... i am sure i would rather use a computer for 3d rendering and when actually onsite i doubt if i would have time to use the phone beyond camera usage.
    i can only hope that the survey questions were devised by an outside source.

    My apologies for the length of this comment. I have tried to say what ever it is I am trying to say or perhaps not say as short as possible.

    Some could say that your idea for this style/form of retreat has been used in our past and continues up to the present day. There are a number of religious orders, brotherhoods, fraternities, traditional beliefs, esoteric and mystery schools of the past and present that may practice this utilizing a variety of techniques ( from various substance use to physical/mental techniques) to produce various results
    .
    As to the use of a pharmaceutical pill which seems to be what you are referring to, I question the use. I will freely admit that in part this biases comes about from a number of perspectives. The pharmaceutical industry in itself is one that I personally do not trust, for a number of reasons. Feeling ill, have a physical, mental or emotional well being problem- here we have just what you need- which pill (S) would you like.

    There is also the philosophical belief pattern of instinct gratification. I want this right now so I do what I do to attain it right now. Want to be ‘enlightened’ here take a pill. Want anything, here take a pill.

    The human body functions as a whole, which is comprised of various systems. These systems are “inter- related, co- dependant and born of each other”.

    ENDOCRINE SYSTEM;

    A collection of glands that produce and secrete various hormones into the blood supply that influence growth, physical and mental development, tissue function, sexual activity, reproduction, sleep, moods and or emotional states and various other metabolic activity.

    The endocrine system is comprised of the following glands; Pineal, Pituitary, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenals, Ovaries, and Testicules. These various glands produce and secrete various hormones and select and remove material from the blood, process them then secretes the finished chemical product into the blood for use some where in the body. The pineal gland is locate outside of the blood brain barrier. This gland receives a very profuse supply of blood second only to the kidney. The Endocrine System affects almost every organ and cell throughout the body.

    Pineal Gland ;

    Traditional Teachings;

    In modern literature the pineal gland is described as being the size of pea shaped like a pine cone. It is also described as being shaped like an almond. Both the pine cone and almond shape description has been used in various ancient writings. Believed to be referring to the Pineal Gland.

    This pine or almond shaped structure referred to in various Esoteric and Mystery Schools was seen as the “connecting link between the spiritual and physical worlds”.

    Seen by some as the Third Eye, the Sixth Chakra, the Eye of Shiva, the All Seeing Eye. In Egypt it is depicted as a Uraeus Snake. In Greece it was represented as a pine cone topping the wand of Dionysius.

    Some teachings see the “Horns of Moses” representing the petals of the 3rd eye. The flowering of Aaron’s rod is seen as the activation of the seven chakras ( the 7 endocrine glands? ). With Revelations the opening of the 7 seals is thought by some to represent the activation the enlivening of the 7 chakras.

    On a church in Alpirsbach Germany a mason carved a device called the Vesica Paslis. An almond shaped device derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph translated as ‘Ru’. A symbol used to represent a “birth portal”, the 3rd eye or brow charkra. This almond shaped device surrounds Jesus and was used to imply that “ ‘YOU’ can have direct experience and communication with the great spiritual beings”. In Catholicism it is depicted as a pine cone.

    These traditional teaching of the 3rd eye, the brow/6th charkra, the all seeing eye, the pineal gland where associated amongst other things with the capability of looking upwards, with what today we would refer to as ‘psychic abilities’, with imagination and dreaming.

    Western Medical Research;

    A pea sized pine cone shaped gland located at the base of the skull. A small endocrine gland located in the vertebrate brain. Located in the epithalumus near the centre of the brain. From a biological evolution perspective it represents an atrophied photoreceptor. Almost all vertebrate species has it. It is linked to a vestigial organ, the parietal eye which some refer to as the 3rd eye.

    As a gland little is known. It still remains much of a mystery to medical science as to all of it’s functions and purpose.

    What is known is that it produces and secretes melatonin a serotonin derived hormone. Amongst other things this hormone is used for thermoregulation. It helps maintain the body’s circadian rhythms, regulates reproductive hormones. The pineal gland works in conjunction with the hypothalamus to direct and control thirst, hunger, sexual desire, our biological clock which determines our aging process. Melatonin also influences our sleeping patterns.

    It is a light sensitive gland. Melatonin secretion is dictated by light. The brighter the light (daylight hours) the less is secreted. Low secretions during the day, higher rate of secretion during the night. The importance of a good sleep is vital for the proper function of the pineal gland. The higher rate of secretion of melatonin during the darkest hours is vital for the body (to recharge).

    Some research suggests that the pineal gland influences the ‘action’ of a number of ‘recreational drugs’ such as cocaine, ergot or it’s manufactured double being LSD/Acid, DMT from various plant sources aka ayahuasca (used traditionally for divinatory or healing purposes), psilocybin/psilcin aka various mushrooms/fungi, virola bark resin used to produce YOPO snuff (South America ) or the venom from the colorado river toad. Other research has lead one researcher to theorize that the pineal gland can produce N.N.Dimethyltryptamine DMT under certain circumstances.

    Research using various meditation techniques with conscious meditation on the 3rd eye/pineal gland produces a ‘rush’ of melatonin affecting our dreams, imagination and in sufficient dosages can also cause waking hallucinations.

    Research indicates that the pineal gland begins to solidify to calcify with the onset of adolescence. It has been observed and stated by some that it is during this time that we humans seem to begin to draw away from the world of imagination
    .
    There is also some research which seems to indicate that the function of the pineal gland is hampered or damaged under certain circumstances.

    Constant light appears to decrease the weight size of the pineal gland. Research on urban cites with constant light during the ‘night’ inhibits the pineal gland which affects our circadian rhythyms affecting amongst other things our sleeping patterns.

    During the late 90’s a researcher discovered that the pineal gland absorbed more fluoride then any other part of the body including bones and teeth. The fluoride seems to contribute to the increased calcification of the pineal gland which inhibits it’s function.

    Some believe that fluoride contributes to creating a more ‘docile mood,’ individuals who will not question authority.

    Fluoride may decrease melatonin production. Research seems to indicate that this shortens the time to reach puberty.

    The National Research Council has stated “ fluoride is likely to cause decreased melatonin production and to have other effects on normal pineal function, which in turn could contribute to a variety of effects on humans”.

    When I review all of this information in regards to both the traditional teaching and western medical science research into the function and purpose of the pineal gland/3rd eye, I can’t but help to think that in many ways the medical research reflects the ancient traditional teaching (speaking here of thousands of years of). One has to ask just how did they know this?

    It could be and appears to be that over the passage of time various substances where used throughout the world, various physical mental spiritual techniques where developed that produce a number of various’ altered states of consciousness”, for application in a number of ways. Seemingly involving the pineal gland.

    These techniques developed by various esoteric and mystery schools etc where aware that if the pineal gland is activated in the ‘wrong’ way, to soon or activated with the ‘wrong’ intent,(wrong or course being a matter of perspective), instructors adapts elders and masters where careful in the training of ‘initiates’. The training was a ‘secret’ and conducted in secret not so much as it being a ‘secret’ as in- the steps required to activate this gland could produce adverse affects which could be detrimental to both the individual initiate and others. Hence the selection of initiates their training, understanding etc was carefully ‘regulated’. A pattern of development is established.

    All this information I combine with other information from both western and the tradiitonal teachings and notice that from either camp the pineal gland plays an important if not vital role in the development of human life, physical, mental/emotional and spiritual.

    This understanding contributes to my personal opinion for any ‘instant enlightenment pill’. The vast variables and conditions that can tribute to the pineal glands function contributing to various functions, a ‘pill’ may not be the answer. Nor I believe a week course on enlightenment. With the research that is being conducted in this area, the research going into the possible creation of such a pharmaceutical ‘pill’ you can be sure that the expense and production of, would be such that only the few (comparatively speaking) could afford. Perhaps also if this instant pill was to be taken by the greater mass this could be problematic for some. With in the individuals enlightenment they might discover that ‘they’ do not require or need certain things that have come into being, and this would not do.

    I would definitely use this and would probably pay if the fee was small. Living on a fixed income makes budgeting extremely important!

    Comment Author: therelihunter

    ''at the time of Jesus’s life. '' There was no such time ! There was no historical Jesus. The gospel writers or at least one, must have used this Jewish Gospel and the ideas to incorporate into the gospels of the N.T. Not very surprising at all I must say, themes and events and even the sayings of Jesus came from older myths and scripture. This all proves that there did not exist a Christian Jesus, well no Jesus in the 1st ad at all. ! Nazareth nor Bethlehem existed at those days.

    I agree Carol Ann1. It looks like there is something on the tomb case below it though. Maybe it was added digitally as a reference to what is below it. But you are right it def does not follow the substrate it is overlayed onto. Gd'eye mate!

    Darkness is the absence of conciousness or knowledge. Conciousness travels from Drarkness to Light or Enlightment. Drakness/ignorance is therefor the greatest evil.

    Maybe Mars has already been knocked out of a pre-existing orbit due to a planetary collision, or gravitational forces from close encounters along a previous trajectory slinging it beyond its original orbit?
