The 3rd eye open

Writing is.... being able to take something whole and fiercely alive that exists inside you in some unknowable combination of thought, feeling, physicality, and spirit, and to then store it like a genie in tense, tiny black symbols on a calm white page. If the wrong reader comes across the words, they will remain just words. But for the right readers, your vision blooms off the page and is absorbed into their minds like smoke, where it will re-form, whole and alive, fully adapted to its new environment.

There is an occult relationship between the pineal gland and other organs of the body. For example, its activity has an effect on the heart, as an organ of the spiritual consciousness:

The aura of the Pineal Gland vibrates during the activity of the Consciousness in the Brain, and shows the play of the seven colors. This septenary disturbance and play of light around the Pineal Gland are reflected in the Heart, or rather in the aura of the Heart, which is negative to the brain in the ordinary man. This aura then vibrates and illumines the seven brains of the Heart, as that of the Pineal Gland illumines the seven centres in the Brain. If the Heart could, in its turn, become positive and impress the Brain, the spiritual Consciousness would reach the lower Consciousness. . . . This is the “memory of the Heart”; and the capacity to impress it on the Brain, so that it becomes part of its Consciousness, is the “opening of the Third Eye.”

The most general hypothesis is that the pineal gland produces psychedelic amounts of DMT at extraordinary times in our lives. Pineal DMT production is the physical representation of non-material, or energetic, processes. It provides us with the vehicle to consciously experience the movement of our life-force in its most extreme manifestations. Specific examples of this phenomenon are the following:

When our individual life force enters our fetal body, the moment in which we become truly human, it passes through the pineal and triggers the first primordial flood of DMT.

Later, at birth, the pineal releases more DMT.

In some of us, pineal DMT mediates the pivotal experiences of deep meditation, psychosis, and near-death experiences.

As we die, the life-force leaves the body through the pineal gland, releasing another flood of this psychedelic spirit molecule.

DNA is structured like 2 long chains wound around each other in what is called a double helix (east/west). It looks like a staircase or Jacob’s Ladder, consisting of 22 Amino Acids. It is no coincidence that the sacred Hebrew language has 22 letters, 22 denotes Light. There are 4 molecules called Bases {Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine or ACGT} that make up the language/alphabet of DNA. Again, it is no coincidence that the 4 letters YHWH or YHVH make up the most sacred name of the Creator. The 4 Base letters ACGT with each combination of 3 make Codons, the 64 Codons which in turn delivers specific instruction to cellular chemistry. Codons manufacture protein. Codons literally means Codes On.
Humans have 64 codons, however, most of us only have 20 turned on, we are operating way below our potential. 64 or 6+4=10 – 10 is God’s divine law at the molecular level to produce His life. This is the internal Torah. In the physical body, the 20 codes which are turned on (actively working) are manufacturing amino acids.
So we see that the codons are powerful molecules working in groups of 3’s to produce Light within the human DNA. The 3 nucleotides are the metaphysical trinity of Father, Word, Holy Spirit or commanding angels of Jacob’s Ladder enforcing the cellular Torah of 64 Codes that must be turned completely on. The Torah is Light. This Light is the light of life.

All human beings, all persons who reach adulthood in the world today are programmed biocomputers. No one of us can escape our own nature as programmable entities. Literally, each of us may be our programs, nothing more, nothing less.

The human brain is assumed to be an immense biocomputer, several thousands of times larger than any constructed by Man from nonbiological components by 1965. The numbers of neurons in the human brain are variously estimated at 13 billions (1.3 times ten to the tenth) with approximately five times that many glial cells. This computer operates continuously throughout all of its parts and does literally millions of computations in parallel simultaneously. It has approximately two million visual inputs and one hundred thousand acoustic inputs. It is hard to compare the operations of such a magnificent computer to any artificial ones existing today because of its very advanced and sophisticated construction.

Certain properties of this computer are known, others are yet to be found. One of these properties obviously is a very large memory storage. Another is control over hundreds of thousands of outputs in a coordinated and programmed fashion.

Certain programs are builtin, within the difficultto-modify parts of the (macro and micro) structure of the brain itself. At the lowest possible level such programs which are builtin are those of feeding, eating, s*x, avoidance and approach programs, certain kinds of fears, pains, etc.

I say here only truth and nothing else!
That which is below is similar to that which is above. And that which is above is similar to that which is below. One has to know this in order to gain the cognition of the marvelous Primordial One! Everything material came into existence by the intent of the Primordial One. All material objects became manifest through densification of the energy by the Primordial One.
The sun is the Father of the manifested world; the “lunar” is its mother. The Holy Spirit “brings up” developing souls; the Earth nurtures them. The Father of all the development in the entire universe is present always and everywhere.
His Power is the Supreme Power! It is supreme to everything else! And It is manifested on the Earth — in Its Omnipotence!
Thus you should divide: the earthly — and the Fiery, the coarse — and the subtle! Act, at that, with great caution, awe, and understanding!
Become the Subtlest Fire — and cognize the Heavenly! Thus you achieve the Mergence. Then come back to the Earth — and you will perceive the Subtlest and will have power to transform effectively the imperfect. This will mean that you have achieved the glory of Mergence with the Primordial One and rid yourself of the darkness of ignorance. The Power of the Primordial One is present beneath everything: beneath both the subtlest and the coarse — and controls them. It is in this way that the Creation exists. And thanks to this marvelous connectedness of Everything the development goes on.
This is why My name is Hermes Thriceborn: for I act in all three planes of existence and possess the wisdom of the entire universe! Thus I have said everything I wanted to say about the doing of the Sun. _ Hermes Trismegistus — The Emerald Tablet

”for the alchemists mercury was mind itself, in a sense, and by tracing through the steps by which they reached that conclusion you can have a taste of what alchemical thinking was about. Mercury takes the form of its container. If I pour mercury into a cup, it takes the shape of the cup, if I pour it into a test tube, it takes the shape of the test tube. This taking the shape of its container is a quality of mind and yet here it is present in a flowing, silvery metal.

The other thing is, mercury is a reflecting surface. You never see mercury, what you see is the world which surrounds it, which is perfectly reflected in its surface like a moving mirror, you see. And then if you’ve ever, as a child, I mean I have no idea how toxic this process is, but I spent a lot of time as a child hounding my grandfather for his hearing aid batteries which I would then smash with a hammer and get the mercury out and collect it in little bottles and carry it around with me. Well, the wonderful thing about mercury is when you pour it out on a surface and it beads up, then each bead of mercury becomes a little microcosm of the world. And yet the mercury flows back together into a unity. Well, as a child I had not yet imbibed the assumptions and the ontology of science. I was functioning as an alchemist. For me, mercury was this fascinating magical substance onto which I could project the contents of my mind. And a child playing with mercury is an alchemist hard at work, no doubt about it. … I remember Al Wong once said to me, we were talking about the yin yang symbol, and he said you know the interesting thing is not the yin or the yang, the interesting thing is the s shaped surface that runs between them. And that s shaped surface is a river of alchemical mercury. Now, where the alchemists saw this river of alchemical mercury is in the boundary between waking and sleeping. There is a place, not quite sleeping, not quite waking, and there flows this river of alchemical mercury where you can project the contents of the unconscious and you can read it back to yourself.”

Pranayama
The fourth method of awakening kundalini is through pranayama. When a sufficiently prepared aspirant practises pranayama in a calm, cool and quiet environment, preferably at a high altitude, with a diet only sufficient to maintain life, the awakening of kundalini takes place like an explosition. In fact, the awakening is so rapid that kundalini ascends to sahasrara immediately. Pranayama is not only a breathing exercise or a means to increase prana in the body; it is a powerful method of creating yogic fire to heat the kundalini and awaken it. However, if it is practiced without sufficient preparation, this will not occur because the generated heat will not be directed to the proper centers. Therefore, jalandhara, uddiyana and moola bandhas are practiced to lock the prana in and force it up to the frontal brain. When pranayama is practised correctly, the mind is automatically conquered. However, the effects of pranayama are not that simple to manage. It creates extra heat in the body, it awakens some of the centers in the brain and it can hinder the production of s***m and testosterone. Pranayama may also lower the temperature of the inner body and even bring down the rate of respiration and alter the brain waves. Unless you have practised the shatkarmas first and purified the body to a degree, when these changes take place, you may not be able to handle them. There are two important ways of awakening kundalini – one is the direct method and the other is the indirect. Pranayama is the direct method. The experiences it brings about are explosive and results are attained very quickly. Expansion is rapid and the mind attains quick metamorphosis. However, this form of kundalini awakening is always accompanied by certain experiences, and for one who is not sufficiently prepared mentally, philosophically, physically and emotionally, these experiences can be terrifying. Therefore, although the path of pranayama is a jetset method, it is drastic and is considered to be a very difficult one that everybody cannot manage.

The Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing -
What Smudge Kit Represents - Air etc

The "Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing" is a powerful Native American cleansing technique. It is a ritual to remove negativity. Smoke attaches itself to the negative energy and removes it to another space.

Cleansing is the word traditionally used, but you can think of it as a shift in energy from any bits of negativity to a more positive, peaceful state.

Smudging can be used to cleanse an object, a place, or your spirit, mind or body. Native Americans often use smudging in association with other ceremonies.

Contemporary uses includes purifying a new vehicle, your work area or a room or dwelling before moving in; purifying a sacred object such as stone, book or fe**sh; or for self-cleansing before meditation, prayer or sleep.

Certain plants are used for smudging. Smudging is done in a particular way. The herbs are burned in a small bowl or a shell, such as an abalone shell. The shell represents Water, a gift from the ocean. The smoke is distributed with a feather, a gift from our winged friends.

Herbs
Sage
For driving out negativity and for healing, White Sage is preferred.

Sweetgrass

Sweetgrass is used for blessing after sage has been used.
It is an important part of Sioux and Cherokee ceremonies.
Sweetgrass is braided like hair.

Smudge Kit

A smudge kit contains herbs, a "bowl" or shell, and a feather to direct the smoke. The entire kit can be carried in a medicine bag.

Each part of the smudge kit and the smudging process signifies one of the four elements, that, when used, evokes the fifth element, life energy.

Smudge Kit

- The shell represents WATER
- The unlit herbs and ashes represents the EARTH
- The lit herb represents the FIRE
- The smoke represents the AIR

Smudging

Before you begin, be sure the area is well ventilated because the smoke, carrying the negative energy, must have an escape route.

Take normal precautions to prevent an unwanted fire, such as placing your smudge pot or shell on a non-combustible surface.

Gather your smudge kit and a means to light the herbs. Long wooden matches are the best because a candle can add dripping wax to the process and a lighter, is well, kind of out of character.

Light the herb and when a flame appears, put the herb out so it will smolder and smoke. Before you smudge another person, an object or a place, you should smudge yourself. You can do this by bringing the smoke to you and rolling it in swirls over your head, shoulders and around your body. Send the smoke away with the feather.

When smudging a place, such as a room or car, pay homage to the cardinal directions which include the east, west, north, south, up and down.

When you are finished smudging, extinguish sweetgrass by damping the braid against the shell. For sage, you can crush it against the bowl or shell or in a bowl of sand.

Respect Is For The One Who Is In The Arena Fighting For Their Dreams

The aspirations to live life on your terms and to live to your full capabilities is more noble than just confining yourself to a life of mediocrity doing the same things day after day and being a sheep for the rest of your life. Respect is given to those who are in the arena battling for their dreams and who are striving to live life at a higher standard. It is easy to be a critic who sits on the sidelines living life in a state of conformity confined to a timid existence because of your fears that have manifested in your imagination. Take a chance on yourself and find out what you love to do and get started on a new path, the path that resonates with who you truly want to be, do not just waste your life living a lie. It is easy to be average, it takes no effort to be like everyone else, it takes courage to be the person that you truly want to be. In a world that is trying to make you like everyone else have the audacity to be authentic and be the person that yearns to be brought forth from within. Listen to that still small voice within you that will lead you to your calling.

Be fearless, be hungry, be driven, be action-orientated, and be true to yourself. There is nothing worse than living a life that is well below your true potential because you did not make the time to develop yourself and invest in success. Personal development is crucial to success, as stated by Jim Rohn, “Income rarely exceeds personal development.” If you want to take your life to new heights you must develop yourself, as you will never rise to a new level by being the same. Invest in yourself, it is one of the best investments that you shall ever make.

Take a look around at the majority of people, they say they want success, they say they want more money, and they want to improve their situation, but they never seem to allocate time, money, and effort to those things that truly matter and will help move their life in a new direction. You need to study success, learn about financial freedom, and make changes in your daily life in order to see changes take place. Everyone wants more but they don’t do more of those things that make the difference. Don’t get stuck in a life of mediocrity doing what the mediocre people do on a daily basis, that is how you end up living a life of disappointment. Conformity is fatal, if you are not careful you will end up being average.

Those aspects that matter the most are not taught in school, such as success, discipline, time-management, financial freedom, goals, dreams, courage, fearlessness, grit, ambition, motivation, determination, drive and hunger to live life on your terms. You must make a determined effort to self-educate yourself, as your success is dependent upon you stepping it up to a new level, your success is your priority, no one else’s. You are the captain of the ship, you are at the helm, so take charge of your life today and take action so that you can rise above the crowd and go boldly to new terrain that seemed nothing but a distant mirage. Use your imagination to envision the life of your dreams and see yourself achieving your dreams within your minds eye, doing that will spur you on to take action, as everything is created twice, once in the mind and then in reality.

So waste no more time being among the crowd, the naysayers, the sheep, and the average folk who have resigned themselves to the life that they have stumbled into and don’t ever seem to want to do anything different but sit around complaining about their life. You have within you the strength, the power, the courage, the drive, and the potential to live a life of greatness. So rise up and take your life to wherever you want to go by going out into the world and doing all that you can truly do. No more of this mediocre living, be lead by the possibilities of what could be and be driven to be the best you as you are more capable than you know. If people would just believe in themselves and take action they would accomplish amazing things that will astound them.

Be bold, and be fearless and hunt down your goals, be the lion that never sleeps, be the hunter who does not rest until you catch the prey, be the one who makes it your mission to be of service in this world and leave a lasting impact of goodness for generations to come.

So I say to you, get into the arena of life rather than just watching others living life on their terms, get up and fight for what you truly want. The time is always right to chase your dreams and be the person that you have always wanted to be.

7 Ways Reading Can Help Your Mental Health
If you have spent many a day with your nose in a book, then there’s some good news for you. Reading is very beneficial for your mental health as well as your interpersonal relationships. Not only are books an excellent source of entertainment, but they also influence your mental health in ways that you have never imagined. Research proves that reading can boost your cognitive health and help keep stress away.

Just like eating right and physical activity is crucial to maintaining physical health, reading daily exercises the brain muscles and helps them unwind after a long and stressful day. Reading for pleasure helps increase self-esteem, confidence, slows down signs of dementia and symptoms of depression. Immersing yourself in a good book is almost like immersing yourself in a new world.
You feel like a part of a fictional world, thus, separating yourself from the daily grind that can be stressful sometimes. What’s more, certain books help you connect with the main characters, so you feel that you are not the only one suffering. A good book often becomes a vital companion in a healing process and opens up doors of empathy.
So, if you need an extra boost to read daily, then we have some scientific facts and valid research to back you up. Here’s why you should visit your local library more often:

1. Helps You Relax And De-stress

According to a study by the University of Suss*x, reading helps reduce stress levels by 68%. These statistics prove that reading is one of the strongest activity that helps the brain and the body relax like no other. So, the next time you find yourself exhausted after a tough day at work, pick up a book and let yourself disconnect from the world for a few hours.
2. Makes Us Empathetic

Research in the mid-90s helped scientists understand the concept of empathy in a much better way. Mirror neurons, the neurons that are fired in our brains when we perform an action or witness someone else performing that action, are formed in our brains while reading.

According to a study, reading stimulates our brains to increase empathy for others. Reading literary fiction evokes the most empathic response as compared to non-fiction reading material. Humans are social creatures, and fiction helps us relate with the characters and understand their struggles which in turn helps increase empathy.

3. Makes You Mentally Flexible

Reading poetry and other poetic material causes fascinating changes to the brain cells. Reading complex text like poetry increases activity in key areas of the brain which promote mental flexibility.

The process of reading poetry and reappraisal of the meaning of words helps increase mental flexibility and adaptation towards unique human behavior and situations. Avid readers are more likely to seek creative solutions rather than just being led by instinct and habit.

4. As Effective As Therapy

Have you found yourself going through a lot of troubles recently? Picking up a book and relating with a similar character or fictional situation like your own is almost as effective as seeking therapy. According to Cristel Russell, a consumer behavior research at the American University, reading can help you find answers to your problems.

So the next time you find yourself relating to a character or situation in a book, pick up a healthy way of dealing with those issues.
5. Enhances Brain Activity

Research proves that reading stories can impact the brain in both psychological and neurological ways. According to a study, the brains of participants were scanned before, during and after reading a fiction book. The result showed that there were significant neurological changes in the brain’s resting state after the participants had finished reading the book.

This study proves that reading provides heightened connectivity to the brain muscles and increased memory muscle.

6. Helps Stave Off Dementia Symptoms

Reading stimulates the brain which helps ward off mental decline and dementia symptoms. Studies show that people who read regularly have 32% fewer chances of mental decline as compared to those who don’t read.

Various brain tests prove that readers are more likely to sleep better, have lower stress levels and higher self-esteem.

7. Increases Spatial Intelligence

Lastly, reading a book can also increase the third form of intelligence- spatial intelligence. Spatial intelligence is related to the concept of one’s place in space and how distances and directions interact. Spatial intelligence helps in activities like map reading, building, planning, and sports.

Conclusion

Did you know that reading is contagious? Seventy-five percent of parents want their children to read more often. If you’re also struggling to make your children bookworms, then start reading actively at home. Read aloud to children till they learn to read on their own. A research by Scholastic suggests that reading aloud to younger kids helps them become frequent readers later on in life. Organize fun story time sessions at home to spark kids’ interest in reading.

Reading helps us stay away from mental decline, acts as a de-stressor and also increases empathy. What more motivation do you need to start reading regularly? Do you read every day? If yes, share some of your favorite books with us in the comments below.
