Pineal gland

Fascinating gland in the center of the brain.
It's function is not completely understood but we do know it produces different hormones that impact your mood, sleep, and ???
Since it's the only portion of your brain that is not paired with a left/right counterpart, some believe it's where your soul resides.
The ancients thought it pretty significant and have it featured in many glyphs.
The Vatican also has a statue of it in their courtyard.

From AI:

The Vatican's pinecone is a bronze sculpture in the Courtyard of the Pinecone in the Vatican Museums. The pinecone is a symbol of fertility, renewal, and everlasting life.

Many ancient cultures share similar beliefs.
Even the Vatican uses the pine cone in their symbolism.
The top 2 images are from ancient cultures separated by hundreds (thousands?) of years and miles apart.
What is not shown in that image is the pine cone is being given to Man, who is about 1/3 the size of the God.
The bottom 3 are of the Pope and Vatican.

It regulates DMT which supposedly regulates your perception of reality.

Regulates DMT? Close, supposedly it produces DMT.
I wasn't going there yet, I was working my way there.
That was the ??? in my original post.

There are exercises that can improve your pineal glands operation.
Some say you can even activate lost functions.
Rumor is the apple given to Adam and eve in the garden of eden represents the forbidden knowledge of activation.
The hindu red dot represents the 3rd eye and is there to help focus energy to the gland.
The ash cross Christians do is for the same reason.

Fascinating!!

Ostensibly, fluoride is toxic to it.

Not just fluoride.
Happy healthy people have a higher vibration which stimulates the pineal gland.
Conversely, anxiety, anger, depression, poor diet, etc...all lower your vibration which diminishes the functionality of the gland.

So why...
-is most of our food poison?
-is there always a war somewhere?
-TV shows, especially children's cartoons, promoting violence?
-???

Crazy, ehh?

So I’m guessing the Coneheads from Paris, France, have huge pineal glands!

Listened to a podcast with a chap named Robert Epstein (no relation to Jeffrey). He explains “neural transductance” which aligns with Ms Keast’s assertion above. Essentially, the human brain (specifically the conscience) acts as a bi-directional transducer to parallel dimensions. Sounds crazy but listening to his examples and explanations, it’s quite interesting.

Ever wonder how a young child can somehow play or write music as a prodigy? Ever have a very “real” dream and when you wake up (say, to take a leak), you cannot get it back or even remember it a short time later? He suggests the dream or the “talent” does not originate in your brain, but rather is “streamed” to your brain. Pretty interesting.

How does that account for people you know appearing in a dream under familiar appearances but the circumstances, e.g., the environment and the unfolding of the story, not to mention the goal and outcome, are usually altered to barely recognizable. The concurring theme is the people, usually correct mannerisms and behavior. It normally stops with that.

The other interesting dream scenario is a planning dream that can be very realistic. As a general contractor facing a big day, as often as not I would be going over the steps and procedures of the upcoming day. Many times in these dreams it was the personnel that were not all too familiar. But it was me and my story throughout. The outcome was typically helpful.
