Editor's note: Dr. Paul LaViolette's new project, the Nassikas Thruster, is a self perpetuating propulsion device which uses superconductive material to draw upon an inexhaustible source of free energy, to propel itself faster than any known device in modern times. The Nassikas Thruster has the potential to not only revolutionize space travel, but also to provide technological advances such as hover boards, hovering cars, vertical take off and landing aircraft that can travel from one end of the earth to the other in under an hour, not to mention produce free electricity for use in any application.

In February 2010, at the Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences International Forum (SPESIF) hosted by the American Institute of Physics, Dr. Athanassios Nassikas of the Technological Educational Institute of Thessaly in Larissa, Greece began sharing with other scientists an unusual reaction-less propulsion phenomenon he had discovered.

He found that by casting a high temperature superconductor such as YBCO (Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide) in the form of a conical nozzle and placing a neodymium permanent magnet within its throat, he was able to produce a small axial propulsive force on the YBCO casting. He received a U.S. patent on this version last year (US 8,952,773). This propulsion effect stems from the peculiar magnetic properties of superconductors. That is, when a superconductor is cooled below its critical temperature (for example, by immersing it in liquid nitrogen), it begins to impede external magnetic fields from entering its interior.  That is, “super currents” are generated within the superconductor which produce a mirror field that repulsively opposes any external magnetic fields.  

This repulsive force has been called the Meissner effect force. This is what levitates a high speed maglev train above its track. But in standard maglev, the superconductor is attached to the bottom of the train and the magnet that repels it is attached to the ground. This necessitates the placement of a large number of magnets along the train's track in order to keep the train afloat as it moves forward.

But now suppose there were a way to produce a propulsive force on a superconductor when the magnet was attached to the superconductor instead of to the ground. Then, as the Meissner effect force repelled the superconductor forward, the magnet would move forward right along with it, allowing a sustained repulsive force that would cause the superconductor to freely accelerate and essentially forge its on course.  This is essentially what Dr. Nassikas has managed to accomplish.  

We have heard the term "picking oneself up by one's own bootstraps" in the context of businesses getting themselves off the ground on their own. Well, essentially here the concept is being applied to the field of physics, which is enough to send shivers running up and down the spine of any dyed in the wool conservative physicist. Indeed, the Nassikas thruster-I, as it is called, appears to break two laws of physics, Newton's third law, the idea that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and the First Law of Thermodynamics, the belief that energy should be perfectly conserved.  Instead, the Nassikas thruster is producing action, with no reaction.  That is, it is able to move forward without ejecting any propellant in the reverse direction.  Other thrusters are known to do this, and they are generally called reaction-less thrusters, or propellent-less thrusters.  Examples include inertial propulsion engines such as the control moment gyroscopes used to orient the Space Telescope and International Space Station, or the EMDrive, a microwave resonant cavity that NASA is currently testing to determine its effectiveness for propelling spacecraft in deep space missions.  Another example that some may have heard of are the asymmetrical capacitor thrusters invented by T. Townsend Brown that were developed in the mid 1950s for military use.  So the Nassikas thruster is not alone in this respect. 

Since permanent magnets need no power to sustain their magnetic field, the Nassikas thruster-I obviously needs no power input to create its force other than whatever is needed to cool its thruster to liquid nitrogen temperatures, 77 degrees Kelvin temperature.  But in space, the temperature can fall as low as 40 degrees  Kelvin temperature behind a sunshield, and lower as one travels further from the Sun.  So no energy need be expended even for cooling.  Theoretically, if placed in space, the thruster should be able to continuously accelerate, making trips to nearby stars a real possibility.  This ability to produce work -- propulsion -- with no energy input, obviously will leave many physicists scratching their heads wondering where does the power come from.  

Dr. Nassikas maintains that the power comes from quantum space-time itself, that is, the energy source in quantum space-time that is hidden from our direct perception, but nevertheless may be theorized to exist. In effect, the Nassikas thruster taps into the quantum prime mover that exists throughout the material vacuum of space.  Nikola Tesla would have referred to this as “harnessing the wheelwork of Nature.” 

Dr. Nassikas has applied the principles of logic to physics theory analysis to develop what he calls minimum contradictions physics. This leads to an approach to formulating an elegant theoretical physics that has a minimum number of internal contradictions, and this leads to a concept of space-time which holds that matter, such as that making up the bulk superconductor, is linked with its space-time ambient which itself may be theorized to contain a store of energy which can be drawn from.  

The bottom line is that in applying the First Law in the case of superconductors, one should not draw the box only to include visible energy sources, but also those that are invisible, lurking within space-time itself.  I have another way of describing this energy conservation phenomenon using the subquantum kinetics physics methodology which essentially comes to the same conclusions as Dr. Nassikas has reached. 

Dr. Nassikas has built several of these YBCO thrusters and conducted pendulum tests to measure the force they produce. The superconductor with its attached magnet is suspended at the end of a nylon line and when cooled below its critical temperature is observed to produce a lateral force that causes its pendulum to deviate from a plumb position.  

He has conducted this pendulum test:

a) with the superconductor immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath
b) with the superconductor and its liquid nitrogen filled dewar suspended as a pendulum
c) with the pre-cooled superconductor suspended by itself in air.

Some videos of these tests may be seen on YouTube. These tests have been performed in front of five Athens University physicists and also have been viewed by two Cambridge University physicists, one of whom is a Nobel Laureate.  All agreed that the thruster develops a small propulsive force which causes the pendulum to swing off plumb. While the measured force is small, only about 2.2 grams (or 21 milli Newtons), the thruster weight is also quite small, just 118 grams (liquid nitrogen reservoir excluded).  So, if shielded from the Sun and left free in space it should accelerate with 1.9% g.  

Also even though this thrust seems small, just five of these prototype thrusters we tested would together produce more thrust than the NSTAR xenon ion thruster that NASA used to propel the Dawn spacecraft to Ceres.  Moreover we were surprised to find that the thrust-to-mass ratio of the Nassikas thruster-I is 1000 times greater. The disadvantage of the NSTAR thruster is that it must take half a ton of xenon on its trip to use as propellant, add to this the thruster's weight which is around 30 kg, and even more for the weight of the solar cells, power handling units, and associated support structures.  

Five Nassikas thrusters on the other hand would weigh just 600 grams. Consequently, using the Nassikas thruster-I device, the total weight of the Dawn spacecraft could be dramatically reduced from its current 1.2 tons down to perhaps 35 kilograms.  Hence with this greatly reduced weight the spacecraft could be made to accelerate 35 times faster so that instead of taking 7.5 years to reach Ceres, as in the Dawn mission, the trip could be made in just one month! Also the lower temperatures that prevail in space, we predict that the Nassikas thruster should develop far more thrust, maybe tenfold more, than what we measured at liquid nitrogen temperatures.  So perhaps the trip could actually be made in just one week. 

Incidentally, the Nassikas thruster-I also outdoes the EMDrive reaction-less thruster that NASA is currently investigating, having a ten fold greater thrust-to-mass ratio. Also while the EMDrive requires 1 kilowatt of power to produce every 30 grams (0.3 Newtons) of propulsion force, the Nassikas thruster has no power requirement. 

What about traveling to the nearest star,Proxima Centauri?

At the temperatures prevailing in interstellar space, which approach liquid helium temperatures, suppose that a 120 gram thruster is able to develop 20 grams of thrust. Then 50 of these thrusters would produce 1 kilogram of thrust and would themselves weigh only 6 kilograms.  If the probe were designed to weigh 34 kilograms, this gives a total mass of 40 kilograms.  Hence our craft would be able to accelerate at the rate of 25 cm/s2, which means that it would reach a speed of 24% of the speed of light in just 9.2 years at midcourse.  Then the probe would be turned around to decelerate for another 9.2 years until it reached its destination after a little over 18 years.  Adding on another 4.4 years for signals to be sent back to Earth means that we could get our close up shots and data within 23 years of our initial launch date.  

Compare this to the solar sail thruster that NASA considered some time back, that would require 18,000 years to reach its destination, and you see that the Nassikas thruster has a considerable advantage. We theorize that the Nasikas thruster develops its propulsive force because its magnet produces unbalanced Meissner forces on the YBCO nozzle. The magnetic field from the attached permanent magnet surrounds the nozzle producing Meissner effect forces both on the surface within the nozzle throat as well as on the nozzle’s exterior surface.  Because the magnet’s lines of flux are more concentrated in the nozzle throat, the outward directed forces dF 1 pushing against the nozzle's interior surface will be much greater than the inward directed forces dF 2 pushing against the nozzle’s exterior surface. Hence these forces are unbalanced, dF 1 >> dF 2.  As a result, when all these opposing force components are accounted for, it is found that a net resultant force remains which is directed toward the nozzle’s narrow end.  It turns out that this resultant force is able to displace the nozzle as a whole.  This is not a stress force acting within the superconductor; it is a true propulsive force. In other words, although the permanent magnet is the generator of this magnetic field, the magnetic field itself is not rigidly attached to the magnet's physical structure; it resides in the space (or ether) around the magnet and superconductor and is able to act in a manner free of the magnet.  

As a result, the net Meissner effect force it produces on the superconductor is able to propel the superconductor relative to its instantaneous inertial frame. As the superconductor moves forward, so does the attached magnet and the Meissner-effect-generating magnetic field.  So, if kept in its superconducting state and left free in space, the thruster should accelerate indefinitely.

The Nassikas Superconducting Thruster Version II

Dr. Nassikas has come up with another superconductor thruster idea that should be able to produce 30,000 to a million times more thrust than his version-I thruster. The implications of this new thruster invention are mind boggling.  To distinguish it from his earlier version, he refers to it as the Nassikas thruster II.

The Nassikas thruster-II is basically a superconducting coil that has a slight taper so that it has the form of a frustrated cone, rather than a cylinder. The coil is wound from high temperature superconducting tape such as REBCO CC (conductor coated) tape.  When energized with an electrical current from an energizer, a very high amperage current begins to flow in the coil windings and this generates a strong magnetic field oriented essentially along the coil’s axis and in the plane of its windings.  The superconducting layer in the REBCO CC tape windings is very thin, on the order of 1 micron.  Hence the magnetic field will penetrate this layer and will interact with the high current flowing there.  This interaction produces a very strong force called a Lorentz force, which is oriented at right angles to both the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field.

This Lorentz force phenomenon is very standard physics, something that any physicist or electrical engineer will agree exists.  Also it is something that designers of superconducting coils are very wary of because if this outward pushing force is too strong it can rip the coil apart. Superconducting coils are normally wound as cylinders; hence their Lorentz forces necessarily push radially outward on the sides of the coil.  Since the forces on opposite sides of the coil oppose one another, the result is only to produce a stress on the coil that attempts to radially expand it, but which is counteracted by the tensile strength of the coil’s windings.  This is something known by all engineers who wind superconducting coils.  However, in the case of the Nassikas thruster, the coil is conical rather than cylindrical.  Hence there is a Lorentz thrust component resultant directed along the axis of the coil in its vertical direction toward the coil’s narrow end.  Because there is no opposing force to counterbalance this force, the coil should develop a net thrust that should propel it upward.  This should not manifest merely as a static stress in the coil itself, but should be capable of actually levitating the coil. 

We currently have plans to build and test a prototype coil, and to raise money for the project we are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on the IndieGoGo website. 

The test coil we intend to make will have an outside diameter of 16 centimeters and a taper of 3 degrees. Since the purpose is only to demonstrate the coil’s ability to produce a propulsive thrust, we are designing it with fewer windings than would be used in a marketable version. Computer calculations performed by our prospective coil manufacturer show that at liquid nitrogen temperatures, with a current density of 70 amperes per square millimeter flowing in the coil windings, our test coil should produce a magnetic field in the vicinity of the coil windings having an intensity of about 0.3 Tesla.

While this is not an overly strong magnetic field, still the Lorentz force equations indicate that this low-thrust test prototype should generate a residual propulsive force of 66 kilograms at liquid nitrogen temperatures. The coil together with its glass dewar flask filled with liquid nitrogen should weigh about 5 kilograms.  Hence we expect our test coil should produce a levitation force 13.6 times greater than its weight!  In other words, a group of these thrusters could easily lift a vehicle off the ground.  

This thrust-to-weight ratio is about 9 times that of the Space Shuttle main engine!

A more practical production version should be capable of generating thrusts even 20 times greater at liquid nitrogen temperatures. At liquid helium temperatures, we estimate this test coil should generate even greater thrusts. Remember the above calculations are based on standard physics (the cross product of current and magnetic flux density).  So even if our test shows that these computer model calculations have been overly optimistic even by a factor of ten, it should still be possible to produce more powerful versions that still have the capability of levitating a heavy payload.  

We plan to first measure the force developed when the coil is immersed in liquid nitrogen (77 degrees Kelvin temperature) using a light weight dewar. Then, if the liquid nitrogen test is successful, we plan to conduct a similar test with the coil immersed in a larger liquid helium dewar (4 degrees Kelvin temperature).  As mentioned above, the expected propulsion force in this case should be far greater. 

The Nassikas thruster-II technology, could make the following possible: 

- Cars that could take off vertically and fly through the air.
- Cruise ships that could levitate as in the movie The Fifth Element.
- Space shuttles that could lift off the Earth without the help of rockets.
- Shuttles that could fly to Mars in 5 days, not 9 months as NASA currently has in mind.
- Ships that could attain near light speed velocities and travel to the nearest star system (example:Proxima Centauri) in 4.5 years.
- Scooters that could not only move forward, but hover and fly above the ground.
- A “hoverboard” something like that depicted in the movie Back to the Future which the movie predicted would be in common circulation in the year 2015.
-Lorentz thruster motors that would produce shaft torque for generating electricity.

This technology would be essentially pollution-less requiring only the production of a small quantity of liquid nitrogen or liquid helium to make it work. Hence its carbon footprint would be virtually insignificant compared to the petrol guzzling technologies currently in use.  Historically, social advances have been brought about by technologies that either have improved transportation (moved people or goods more efficiently from one place to another) or improved on energy production.  This technology should do both.  If it works as expected, it would bring untold prosperity to the world. Some may be thinking that this all sounds too good to be true, maybe even crazy.  It does require that we change some of our concepts about what we think is possible.  Remember that many thought that the Wright brothers were dreamers until their air flight at Kitty Hawk proved they were right!

A major goal for overall health is continuous, proper hydration. Without it our body feels tired, our brain loses concentration and our skin develops wrinkles. However, it is not just the amount of water one drinks. Even more important is the quality of the water itself.

It is common practice to carry a cellphone and water bottle in the same bag or leave them side by side on a table.

Determine the quality of your drinking water:

First, drinking water should be clean from pollutants. Although bottled water is typically a safe choice, a good water filter on your sink is cheaper and able to provide the same and often better water quality.

The pH of drinking water should be slightly alkaline, similar to our blood which holds a pH of 7.4. Our body easily processes alkaline water and does not have to compensate as it does with acidic liquids. All carbonated drinks including sodas and mineral waters are overly acidic, as are coffee, black tea and alcohol. Be conscious to choose water bottle brands that advertise their alkaline pH on their label.

Finally, water is very susceptible to energetic imprinting. Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto has demonstrated how different magnified water crystals look when derived from clean water sources versus from polluted streams. Along with Emoto’s water photos, scientific studies have shown that water also takes on vibrational information from other substances, including chaotic molecular patterns from microwave frequencies.

Microwave frequencies and their effects on water.

It is important to understand the impact of microwave frequencies on water because our bodies are made up of 70% water and within our body, our blood is made up of 90% water!

To find out which effect microwaves have on our body, the Institute of Feng Shui & Geopathology conducted a series of experiments investigating live blood samples under a microscope specific to microwave ovens.

Live-blood microscopy requires just a drop of blood from a finger similar to blood sugar testing. The blood droplet is then placed between two thin sheets of glass and observed under a microscope. This method was developed in Europe more than a century ago and is used to see how the body responds to different foods, supplements and exposure to environmental influences such as strong electromagnetic fields. Changes in overall wellness can be tracked by the consistency and regularity of blood cells. For example, healthy blood shows round, nicely shaped single cells which can be easily pumped through small vessels to provide the brain, heart and the rest of the body with fresh oxygen.

Microwaved water and its impact on our blood.

After water had been heated in a microwave oven, the test person drank one sip of this water. The experiments showed that the formerly regular blood patterns quickly and significantly degraded. Blood cells typically started to stick together in long chains like rolls of coins (‘Rouleau’ formations). This now forces the body to push entire clusters of cells through small vessels instead of single cells, potentially causing an increase to the blood’s pressure and a possible avalanche of long term issues. We also found that more blood cells were irregularly shaped with deformed spikes indicating additional structural cell damage.

Below are 2 pictures of live blood. The picture on the left is taken after drinking filtered water. The picture on the right is after drinking microwaved water.

Your cellphone is a microwave frequency generator.

It’s essential that we understand that the microwave oven and your cellphone operate in the very same frequency range, around 2GHz. In fact, many wireless electronics emit electro-magnetic frequencies in the Gigahertz range (1 GHz=1,000,000,000 cycles per second). The major difference between the microwave and the cellphone is the output level. A microwave oven emits short periods of high power when in use. The cellphone, while emitting a lower power output than the microwave, is in permanent contact with, and sending and receiving signals with cell towers.

Cellphone output is even higher in areas with low reception such as inside large buildings or automobiles. Scientists refer to cars as a ‘faraday cage’ which suppresses reception inside a metal box. In order to still function inside a car, the phone automatically boosts its signal to maximum strength continuously, which then makes it potentially more harmful. This power output can reach concerning levels, especially with children and sensitive people. As a result, the new terms of electro-hypersensitivity and radio-wave sickness, are becoming commonplace among medical professionals.

What you can do:

Whenever cellphones and water bottles are kept in close proximity, the water picks up electro-magnetic frequencies from the phone. Electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) are a man-made high frequency pollution which is mainly caused by wireless technology, especially cellphones. It is important to protect your drinking water from electro-smog.

When a water bottle has been “micro-waved” by a cellphone for 15 minutes or longer, be aware that the benefits from hydration have expired. The water now may even be a health hazard!

Here are 5 tips for healthy drinking water:

1. Choose plain, non carbonated water for best hydration. Water from the faucet is fine if a good quality water filter is installed. This way you avoid costs for bottled water and save the environment from more plastic pollution.

2. The recommended amount of water to drink per day is half your body weight in oz. For example, if you weigh 160 lbs, you should drink about 80oz of water. This is about 2 1/2 quarts. Coffee, sodas or alcohol do not count toward daily intake, instead, take note that these drinks require additional plain water to dilute their acidity.

3. Never microwave water. Avoid the microwave for warming food. It’s especially important to choose alternative methods for warming up liquids for a baby or toddler.

4. A cellphone is NOT a proper play toy or diversion for small children as their bones are still soft and their brains are developing. Keep electronics away from small children.

5. Keep your water bottle at least 1 ft apart from your electronics all the time.

The intensity of the electromagnetic signal is reduced the further away from the source. In practice this means:

a. Carry your phone apart of your body (not in a pocket or a bra).

b. Use the speakerphone whenever you can.

c. Switch to bluetooth in the car.

d. Keep your phone away from your pillow at night; best turn it off while you sleep. If you use the phone as an alarm clock, place it at least 3 ft away from the bed.

There is the potential that Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs) will be one of the greatest environmental health challenges for the coming generations. Keep your electronics at distance whenever you can, and stay safe with drinking good quality water, free of electromagnetic pollution.

Reishi is a highly revered mushroom throughout Chinese history. Its name, Ling Zhi, literally means “spiritual mushroom,” but its more commonly used name is the Japanese name - reishi. Reishi and other tree fungals are in a special class called Polypores, named for their smooth porous under-sides, which distinguishes them from gilled mushrooms that grow on the ground. Its latin name Ganoderma lucidum simply means “shiny mushroom.” 

Reishi has been used in China as a benevolent ally for spiritual perception. It was first documented in Shennong’s Pharmacopoeia, one of the world's earliest pharmacopoeia possibly written as long ago as 4975 B.P. (before present). It described reishi “the herb of spiritual benevolence.”

Reishi Represented in Art

Reishi has been depicted in many ancient paintings. In one scroll painting, reishi is pictured in the middle on top of a rock escarpment, representing “a bridge between Earth and Heaven.” 

In the lower portions of this artwork, many mendicants of Taoist ideology seek enlightenment, study, converse and make tea. They live in nature at bottom left, and in civilization on the right. They are guided by Quan Yin(bodhisattva of compassion) and Lao Tzu (philosopher and the Father of Taoism), who teach the true road to the Tao. A reishi mushroom grows out of the rock in the center, representing the bridge to higher realms, where masters enjoy a pleasant life in temples and government institutions, and also fly on dragons as celestial immortals - “Tien Hsien.”   

Reishi’s Health Effects

Reishi is said to initiate benevolent cycles of health of the person who drinks the tea. It is not mind altering, but does have beneficial effects on consciousness, bringing clarity and activating connection with one’s higher destiny and potential. Reishi can show us the way to our abundance. When we have reishi in our lives, along with pure foods, healthy lifestyle, a clean inner body and a spiritual discipline, enlightenment can be accelerated. 

It could be a great blessing when reishi comes into your life, a sign that you are opening to abundance in your life, and that you may be able to help others. Reishi mushroom is truly a cosmic messenger to help us manifest higher energy, protect us from the lower frequencies of discord, and rapidly relieve karma of past negative acts.

Reishi was considered superstitious by the Communist Party, who removed it from the Chinese Materia Medica. Efforts are being made to restore reishi in the category of spirit (Shen) herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Reishi is well known throughout Asia as an immune strengthening and modulating herb, which balances immune response. It contains a special class of polysaccharides called Beta 1-3-6 glucans, which support empowerment of white blood cells. It is a liver tonic and anti-stress agent, which benefits the adrenals.

Where to Find Reishi

Reishi grows all over the world, usually found on dead wood in deciduous forests across the Eastern and Northwestern U.S., and you can also cultivate it yourself in Oak or Hemlock logs. Mycelinated plugs of reishi are available from Fungi Perfecti Company and other sources. Drill ¼” holes in the logs and hammer in the plugs. Bury them just underground and cover with a tented tarp and mist regularly. Reishi caps may begin to appear after the mushroom has sufficiently mycelienated into the wood.

Reishi can be purchased in capsule form or bulk powder. It is easy to make delicious tasting beverages with reishi. A relatively bitter mushroom with a coffee-like taste, it can be included in various drinks, such as smoothies and lattes. Reishi can be added to deserts, muffins or cakes, or in granola and hot cereals. Extracts of the fruiting body are the highest quality. Some products include the mycelium and spores.

Reishi is not a stimulant and is considered free of side effects. It is considered beneficial for people of all ages, including children, and even pets.

“Karma does not exist.  Karma is but retribution for bringing into manifestation discord and inharmony.  Substitute renunciation for retribution and you correct the cause for Karma, as it exists only in the thoughts of those determined to manifest Karma.  Remove the cause or substitute it by a higher condition and the lower condition is erased.  You have elevated the vibrations of your body above those which allowed Karma to exist.”  

Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East, Vol. 3, pg. 155-156 by Baird T. Spalding

This teaching was given by a wise man in a village visited by a party of archeologists who had gone to the Gobi Desert and the Himalayas, and subsequently had the pleasure to have meetings with many “Masters" (sometimes even Jesus and Buddha would attend and teach).

This teaching declares that “karma" doesn’t exist, only as we manifest it.  This somewhat goes against our theory in physics that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  And it also flies in the face of our Christian concept of “justice."

If what this wise man taught is correct, then we must go into a higher science of physics, and we will have to re-evaluate our thoughts on justice.

I am not a ‘master’ or an illuminated teacher, but studying this subject for years, here is my definition. 

Debt does not exist, the corollary to karma does not exist.

The concepts of debt and credit are simply concepts that were invented to accommodate our new form of accounting, double entry bookkeeping, which was introduced when our money system changed from “hard” money to the use of negotiable instruments in 1933.

This is a fact of our commercial history here in America and actually all over the ‘civilized’ world where countries engage in international commerce.

Capitalism is an Invention of Christianity.  

Christianity was created during the times of Constantine, the Emperor of the ‘Holy’ Roman Empire.  Prior to the time of Constantine the “believers” in the teachings delivered by the Master, Jesus, were simply referred to “followers of the way,“ as was Constantine’s mother, a British woman known as Helen of The Cross, who was also the daughter of the British King Cole.  (Remember the song sung at Christmas … “old King Cole was a merry old soul … ?”)

And our sense of “justice” came from the writings in the King James “Authorized” Version of the Holy Bible.  That “version” was translated specifically for commerce, so I suspect that certain concepts were left out, and perhaps certain things inserted purposefully.  The chief translator who oversaw that effort was Robert Fludd just so happened to be the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, a “secret society” who were closely associated with the Knights Templars.

Something that was not taken out was the concept that justice was demanded by the “law,” but that sanctification came by the Spirit. Sanctification - wonder what that is?  Might it be a higher vibrational concept than justice?  Is it possible to “ascend” from the concept of justice to the spiritual concept of sanctification?

To completely review and understand the concepts of the Old and New Testaments in the KJV, one ought to consider the whole story of the evolution of the doctrine when moving from the Levitical Priesthood into the Melchisadec Priesthood - the change from the “Old” to the “New.” (Study carefully the Book of Hebrews in the NT, especially chapter 7 verse 22 where it refers to Jesus as the “surety.” Suretyis a common word used in “modern” commerce).

Consider also the sayings in the OT where Jesus (Yeshua Ben Joseph) was referred to as the “lamb slain before the foundation of the world.” In the book I referred to above, it is brought out that Jesus (and even the one called John the Baptist) spent considerable time in the Himalayas with the Masters who tried to talk Jesus out of returning to Jerusalem to a certain death.  But Jesus had a destiny and “contract” to fulfill, and so he went back.  

One author I read said that a “perfect” man was one who kept all of his contracts.  And in the NT we see the phrase “ ...and being made perfect...” in reference to Jesus.  Apparently Jesus was made perfect by keeping his contract with Creator.   What does that say for you and I? Could we become perfect if we keep our contracts - even “soul” contracts?

(Side note:  a man I have known who was high up in the CIA told me that he had actually seen the ancient records with Jesus in the Himalayas.  It made a “believer” out of him. He turned to God and left the CIA).

Getting back to “karma": “karma" does not exist and the corollary “debt” does not exist, and the concept of retribution (justice/law) vs. renunciation (sanctification/spirit) starting to take a foothold in our logic. The “holy man” from the Himalayas taught this concept in regards to karma, but I, a not so “holy man,” have “contracted" (with God) to bring these same concepts into our commercial “world.”  In essence, if you can understand the one, you can understand the other.  Perhaps a bit of study and meditation is in order here for us all.  As we “ascend" it appears necessary to fuse the physical (commercial) aspects into our spiritual practices.  If we fail to do that, perhaps we will be slowed in our progression.

The following is a writing from the Phoenicians channeled through Micheila Sheldan. Many of us wonder why we must suffer through karmic experiences and re-live history. For example, have you ever attracted the same type of relationship over and over again? There is a deep reason for this that is related to our internal structure, ascension codes and genetics. Relationships allow us the opportunity to transcend karma and our human experience. In this channeled writing, the Phoenicians explain ascension codes and genetic codes, how they create experiences in our lives and how our relationship to the energy of these experiences becomes the catalyst for our ascension. Finding comfort within change is the key to expanding our DNA and living a higher dimensional experience.

“We wish for you to know the meaning of your ascension codes. This must come into the conversation in order for you to understand how you, as a human consciousness, can perceive the success ahead of overcoming the lower vibrational influence on your planet. Ascension codes are a part of your structure that aligns with planetary energies to release a frequency. The frequency matches an experience and you, as a singular being, have the opportunity to transcend the experience and evolve, or not. These are energy portals. They connect both multi-dimensionally and at the soul level, relatable to your singularity as an incarnate being. But what happens if you do not ascend the code? This is what we wish to explain.

Ascension codes are the first level of triggering of the structure. We don’t wish to get too detailed here as to the structure. But we believe it’s important for you to understand how this works. When you incarnated here, your structure, being attached to a record of how all human structures work, aligned with an energetic portal. That portal is your incarnation date. In other words, the date you chose to incarnate is an energy that is very unique to your expression and it holds a mechanism to unlock your record. There is not a defined set or number of ascension codes that you have. There are many. It is decided when you accept your assignment here the number of codes you must transition and how they will align your soul to do its (work). We put work in parenthesis because it is really not work at all. It is your highest joy connected to purpose.

We often allude to the fact that there is a collective nature to these codes, as well. Within Mother Gaia, there are also codes. She is a Being, in fact, that lives and breathes and there is a component of your structure that holds a mirror to her. So when the collective is resonating with a One frequency (which you are) these codes may be triggered as well.

When a code is triggered, a physical manifestation of energy presents itself. It is often not to your liking, not because it is meant to be difficult, but because it is a unique and new timeline. You have been trained to not like change. Change is the basis for all things energetic, you see. But as humans, you prefer to be stifled and not allow change to flow you to the next experience. You perceive change as bad, so in the initial experience causing change, there is resistance. This resistance builds to create a block in the portal and this is how you do not transcend and become stuck. It’s almost as if you are in a worm hole: portal of time that is never moving forward or back, but keeps you in the same time/space reality for eternity. This block to your energy creates density and the density does not allow you to see the transition as perfect, beautiful and the next step on your path of ascension.

Those who do not transcend ascension codes re-experience the energy of them in other ways. For example, have you continued to attract the same type of relationship over and over? Perhaps you blame yourself or the others. What is happening, in fact, is that you are stuck in a time/space reality that you have not transcended and the energy is playing out over and over again. 

Ascension codes are connective to genetic codes. To make this simple, once an ascension code is transcended you are given an energetic key to unlock a blocked place within your genetic structure, or your DNA. In other words, the density is cleared so that you may perceive new information. How is this density cleared? You cannot perceive it anymore, because you transcended a timeline. You are no longer within that time/space reality and you now have the ability to perceive the timeline in a way you couldn’t before. The weight of it is not equal to the speed of energy or frequency by which you resonate. So to give you another example, you will never again attract this type of similar relationship. The reason you cannot is that you no longer match the frequency of it. It doesn’t make sense in the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies. 

You are always interpreting frequency through your structure in the form of ascension codes. The choice becomes yours as to how you respond and offer a new vibration. How can you do this? Finding the neutral energy within the timeline is our best advice. When you find that neutral energy, you relate to the opportunity within the experience. That is where it lies. There are no new opportunities in energetically remaining within the timeline on either end of the spectrum – higher or lower vibration. Let us take this relationship again as an example. The higher vibrational expression of that timeline may surprise you. You think that everything higher must be better. But we are speaking of speed and imprints of energy here. To us, the higher vibrational manifestation may be that you become self-righteous. You decide that you are going to leave the relationship because it is not suiting you, but you leave in a very abrupt and disconnected way. In other words, you are right. And in your right-ness, there is a frequency or vibration that you perceive as higher when really it is on the opposite spectrum of neutrality. 

The lower vibrational expression would be defeat or accepting you are wrong. In your wrong-ness, you lose your sense of self, judging your emotions and identity in a way that also creates an imprint. You see, both of these scenarios do not transcend the portal. You are still holding on to the energy in some way, re-imprinting it stronger. Because now, it has been given more speed, more weight and more meaning within your structure.

The neutral space is one where all possibilities lie. There can be no right or wrong, only love – love for one’s self and love for others. Keep in mind we are not saying that you do nothing in a neutral space.  Physical action always follows energetic frequency. You create and hold the energy that manifests into human experience. So what would a neutral scenario look like? Let us first describe what it would feel like.

The neutral space is not stressful, it cannot be held in fear. The neutral space is respectful both of the self and the other. It creates a collective energy in which all are considered. The neutral space is whole, it is not fragmented. It considers all parts of the experience. 

You may be thinking there is a record for this relationship. It must either end or continue on. We say that the record matters not. The souls within the record are only players on the stage and you are the playwright. All possibilities reside in the neutral space. When decisions are made in the neutral frequency, the souls engaged can both step onto a new timeline together or apart. They can further transcend their experience and fulfil the record. They can both find peace and happiness in that scenario apart or together. Not because they have the answer, but because they now understand the evolution of their soul lies in experience, as does others. This is a collective one energy that will serve all of your unique experiences. And so it is.”

~The Phoenicians 

As the consciousness of an evolving soul finally arrives at a human birth, a unique opportunity is presented to itself; the Consciousness of Man is attained, and with that consciousness comes a corresponding physiology which permits a highly sophisticated range of expressions that hasn't been in its disposal before. More often, souls are recycled into the system. They get repeated opportunities to improve themselves by accreting experiences which encourage self-awareness and service to others. Although Man is brought up in an environment which fosters a broader array of intellectual and creative abilities, he is still subjected to the laws of Karma, which determine his progression on the scale of evolution. The soul desires to move forward, to reach the infinite and reside within the cosmic personality, but its fresh chance to embody the macrocosm within his finite form is stumped by a flawed societal framework, which corrupts his perspective and distracts his attention towards his materialized construct during his most crucial years of self development.

Questions arise as to whether individually we are evolving under the current societal framework. If there is a process of evolution, one can assume there’s an opposite and equal process of devolution; a state wherein the mental and physical faculties of the soul are not developed or are overly neglected. Therefore, the mind and body are not equipped or trained enough to perform certain tasks or abilities we are born with. In devolution, one's mind, body and soul would consequently degenerate because they’re not constantly being exercised to their fullest potential. If that is indeed the case, then defining for ourselves a state and process of devolution could potentially give us a clearer outlook as to the steps we may still have to take in order to achieve and maintain a level of progression necessary for the liberation of the soul.

In its human experience, the soul arrives at a stage of development where it must exercise its free will wakefully in order to earn its next stage of evolution. The human experience is considered an important stage of development for the soul, whereby the identity of the soul is challenged within a mental framework of separateness. Man experiences himself separate from his environment, so he continues to operate from that point of view when generating all of his experiences, until challenged to think otherwise. On his path, Man finds himself in the crossroad of making a decisive choice; one of which some graduate successfully from through the fostering and adherence to a good-willed nature, while others are deceived and manipulated into a mentality of wrongdoing. 

Inflicting negativity on oneself and on others keeps Man in a state of disharmony. While a good-willed person enjoys intellectual and creative progress, the disharmonious person stagnates and loses himself in bigotry and jealousy. Any sentient being in its environment receives exactly what it sends out into the universe, whether it be good or bad. A good-willed soul may seem likely to evolve forward, but because most of his wrongdoing brethren don’t, society as a whole is unable to move forward until the majority of the system is positively oriented. This is due to polarity. If a majority of society is negative, then the overall system leans more towards a negative polarity, and vice versa. 

The Cause of Man’s Fall

The fall of Man is largely due to the temptations of the flesh. Man is conditioned within society to identify himself with subjects and objects that stimulate his 5 senses. 

The 5 senses were originally given to Man in order to navigate the holographic terrain of frozen thought - the virtual reality that had been created within this universal construct. However, in his upbringing he had been mentally fostered to identify strongly with these signals and has chosen to overindulge himself in basic urges. His willingness to indulge in these signals has over time numbed his capacity to control these basic urges, ultimately allowing the sensations to control him. In his weakened state, an unsatisfied urge leaves Man in an unsettling and uneasy feeling. His fragile state lowers his resiliency to negativity, and therefore sensations overpower him and urge him to pursue some form of self-satisfaction. Due to his personal attachment to his unsettling bodily sensations, Man competes with others to liberate himself and turns a blind eye to the suffering he trails behind him. 

Like a trail of breadcrumbs, Man’s wounded peers - witness to this attitude inflicted on them - choose in their weakened state to take his behavior personally. This pattern and behavior is ultimately repeated and spread across households and communities. And because one person cannot control his urges, an entire societal framework degenerates. However, When his basic urges are met, Man finally feels able to relax and appreciate the transient moment, until his cravings return and urge him to follow predictable patterns which only bring him relief in the shortest amount of time. 

This attitude disconnects Man from his environment, since his growing addiction to sensory stimuli had developed in him a restlessness that is unquenchable and interferes with his capacity to tune in, listen and be present. No matter how much fleshy pleasures he pursued, he kept on pursuing them in his want for comfort and self entertainment, meanwhile ignoring the suffering others were undergoing in respect to his mindless choices and actions. 

Man de-evolved from his pure state of Harmony with his Environment 

Man was brought up by parents who do not exercise scientific techniques of God-contact and thus he is brought up into the world with an incomplete understanding of his true nature. He erroneously picked up an attitude and behavior from his environment which disregards the welfare of his external manifestation and the recognition of its sentient nature. Thus he disconnected himself from his boundless identity impregnated in the ocean of atomic energies dancing all around him. 

The core of his problem is his inability to identify within himself symptoms which indicate his state of disconnection; that is why he remains out of harmony in many aspects of life. His hidden issue is that he doesn’t have a clue as to how a connection is made, preserved and maintained, which makes reason to suggest that he would be clueless as to the existence of a “disconnection”, even as he is experiencing it.

Man has forgotten that his environment constantly communicates to him his state of wellbeing, such as the quality of his thoughts and amplitude of his emotions. Man’s thoughts are represented externally in the arrangement of scenery and scenarios, while his emotions are represented by the rate and nature of his thoughts. At times the environment can be turbulent and other times calm, but Man doesn’t draw a correlation between his internal sensations and external phenomena. Man’s abuse -- and lack of being able to interpret -- his senses numbs him cognitively to the magnitude of precision the environment presents to him the quality of his wellbeing. Instead, Man operates restlessly and decides to mechanically submit the environment to his will, rather than to find content and peace within and develop a relationship with his environment. 

(This is the end of part 1 out of 3 parts of this work. Read part 2 and part 3). 

This is an excerpt from Micheila Sheldan's channeled writing. We are Source energy. But what does that mean? Our structures are one with the oceans, the animals, the earth. We want to heal all of these things. Yet, how many of us are guilty of negative self-talk when we look in the mirror? Honoring yourself has a profound effect on the consciousness of all things. We are those things, in beautiful physical form.

"Many of you believe that your structure only applies to the inner workings of your physical and energetic body. That there is a fine line between your auric field and the rest of the universe that keeps you separate. This belief is a program we wish to abolish from your structure and internal workings. As you have been created in the likeness of many and of your Mother Goddess, Earth, you hold within you connections to all of it. And this is where your belief systems have failed you. This belief that you are separate from the universe and the earth is holding you in resistance of what is the biggest and most important aspect of your existence. And you hold the capability to transcend this history you have created as a One.

The transcendence of this holds the capability to take you into fields of unknown territory. Communication with trees, plants and animals. Interaction with your cosmic families. And support from the unknown. But in addition to this, it holds a secret universal space in which all things are connected. Imagine for a moment having a bad day. And all of the sudden, the entire universe comes to support you and change your reality. This is the capability you have right now in this very moment. But your beliefs about yourself hold you in resistance of this beautiful intersection of energies through and of the self.

The structure is all things coming together in a singular energy. So if your singular energy is not focused in the highest intent, it will affect all things. This is how you have a part in your collective experience. When you are not in harmony with yourself, you are not in harmony with all things. When you look in the mirror and criticize yourself, at the cellular level you are creating patterns that affect all things. Do you see the responsibility you have to honor yourself? Honoring yourself is Source energy at its highest peak. And all things accept the vibration you offer in harmony."

-The Council of Light

Sacred sites have been around for thousands of years and there are many theories as to what they were used for around the time of their construction. However, could these sacred sites such as Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza serve a purpose for us in present day? In an interview for AAE TV, Freddy Silva talks about the second book he wrote called “The Divine Blueprint” which contains nearly 1,000 references that describe the various encounters people have with sacred sites. He raises the question of – What is the origin of sacred sites, and what makes them sacred? Freddy doesn’t limit his investigation of sacred sites to places of origin that date back thousands of years, but instead he includes recent crop circle formations in his research. His investigations of sacred sites are nothing short of thorough – as he makes use of scientific evidence, eye witness testimony from prominent sources, and pieces the whole puzzle together with the myths and legends of the local population.

Crop Circles

Some people don’t believe there is any mystery to the crop circle phenomenon. Others maintain the belief that all crop circles are made by two people holding a string and a board. However, Freddy woke up to a greater reality when he started noticing luminous objects above crop circle formations that he couldn’t ignore. He began to travel the world in search for answers with the belief that when the pupil is ready, the teacher will appear; and the teacher always did. Postal workers, policemen, military personnel, politicians, and 80 other eyewitness testimonies in Freddy’s book: “Secrets in the Field” claim to have seen crop circles being formed. In addition to these testimonies, Freddy’s book has over 400 images and diagrams to help explain this phenomenon. In many of these accounts the witnesses say they see tubes of light coming down from the clouds and that the crop formation would appear in under 15 seconds. In some cases the formation would appear the following day. He doesn’t end the discussion there, but instead he postulates that these formations could be created by sound, plasma or the manipulation of local gravitational fields.

“Some people think that crop circles are either hoaxes or that they are made by UFO’s, neither is actually the case – They are created by consciousness,” Freddy said.

Freddy dissects the crop formations’ sacred geometry, known meanings, hidden messages, and connections with ancient symbols. He believes the phenomenon works alongside human consciousness. He conducted many experiments where he would ask a mathematical question in his mind, and the answer would be revealed in the formation of a crop circle.

What makes a site sacred?

“Sacred space is where you come in contact with everything. The veiled world of the universe gets lifted.”

Freddy mentions that there are certain spots on the Earth that feel different. The environment feels different, your state of perception feels more developed and it might feel as though you’ve come into contact with another level of reality. Scientists Freddy has spoken with, say that beyond the measuring, and beyond the scientific evidence they found about the differences in the electromagnetic field, they say there is a palpable difference in how they feel when they step into and out of the sacred space.

“Part of the reason why we find temples in every culture of the world when we look at the myth, legend, traditions and what took place at these sites, it becomes pretty obvious that they are all looking for the same thing – a controlled out of body experience,” Freddy said.

He mentions that even the left-brained early mathematicians like Plato and Pythagoras had experiences in certain temples where they accessed another level of reality. These places were built with a purpose. They are astronomical markers because the stone circles do align with stars and constellations, but also there is a history of healing at these sites as well. However, the one thing that ties all of the theories about these sites together is the ability for people to go in and journey, and use the elements at the places to help them release their soul from their body and disengage from the material world for a certain amount of time (sometimes as long as 3 days). People like Isaac Newton or Leonardo Da Vinci, who both belonged to secret societies, went on similar journeys. He says that they had accessed certain areas of their brain, certain levels of consciousness, in order to put themselves into a situation where they could receive information from a bigger library of information.

How do the Sacred Sites affect us in the present day?

The boundary between belief and science fiction is slowly disappearing as we learn more about the Sacred Sites and their possible links to the higher levels of consciousness, to aid us in our awakening as a whole planet. We do not have all the answers yet, but people are going to sacred sites (Freddy suggests there is a 5,000% increase in people attending sacred sites) because we are awakening to the realization that there is something missing in our understanding of the world we live in. Why can we not replicate the same sacred sites that were made thousands of years ago? How can we dismiss nearly 100 known eyewitness testimonies of the formation of crop circles? Why is there so little knowledge and understanding of sacred sites, and why is the scientific evidence dismissed so readily? There is undoubtedly a misunderstanding of how the world really works, and the way to bridge this gap is not necessarily a stepping stone of finite proportions, but could be more like a giant leap – A paradigm shift.

The pineal gland or sixth chakra is located deep within the center of the brain and was considered by French philosopher Rene Descartes to be the “seat of the soul.” Mainstream society has long suppressed the science behind the true nature of the pineal, but evidence of its multifaceted function and symbolic history is coming to light as the consciousness of the planet rises. The pineal gland serves as a symbol of spirituality, intuition, and clairvoyance in many religions and societies across the globe. It is often referred to as the “third eye” because it possesses a lens, cornea, retina, and has light sensitive internal structures that are similar to the rods and cones of the eyes. Once activated, it allows an individual to view the spiritual realms. Yet to the detriment of humanity, toxins in the environment and a loss of spiritual knowledge have caused the third eye to calcify and become dormant in most people. However, an awakening is occurring that is allowing people to rediscover their third eye abilities as alternative science uncovers the once well-known mysteries of the sixth chakra.

Pineal Gland Function

Melatonin

The primary function of the pineal gland as understood by mainstream science, is to produce melatonin during sleep, as well as regulate body temperature and skin coloration, all of which depend on the presence of environmental light. Melatonin is a hormone produced from serotonin which affects our mood. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the absence of light which is responsible for repairing cells, governing circadian rhythms, and eliminating free radicals. A deficiency can lead to insomnia and cancer, and accelerate the aging process. Electromagnetic radiation and the presence of light during sleep also interfere with the signals that tell the pineal gland to start producing melatonin.

Canadian medical doctor, Roman Rozencwaig began studying the pineal gland and its ability to produce melatonin in the mid 1980’s. He believes decreased melatonin production is a direct result of atrophy of the pineal gland, which in turn leads to aging and disease. As a person grows older, the cells of the pineal are damaged and calcified due to toxins in the environment and injury. This leads to decreased melatonin production and higher levels of serotonin, which may be responsible for cancer and other diseases. Dr. Rozencwaig states that supplemental melatonin can drastically reduce the rate of pineal atrophy, slow down the aging process, and treat a wide array of diseases by boosting the immune system, allowing the pineal gland to maintain a balanced ratio between melatonin and serotonin levels in the body. He has treated several of his cancer patients with supplemental melatonin and many have seen a significant improvement in their condition. Even though melatonin is a vastly important part of pineal health, it is not the compound responsible for inducing mystical experiences.

DMT

DMT or Di-methyl-tryptamine, is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound that is found throughout the body, and produced by the pineal gland. DMT is believed to play a role in inducing mystical states of consciousness. DMT can be found in almost all plants and animals and has been thought of as the key to our spiritual gateway by many indigenous and ancient tribes, particularly those in South America.

In the mid-1800s Amazonian explorers described psychoactive powders and brews made from plants with high concentrations of DMT. The tribe members often recounted out of body experiences in which they would communicate with spirits and experience mystical visions. These tribes understood the nature of these substances far earlier than their western counterparts. DMT was discovered in the blood, urine, tissue, and spinal fluid of humans in the mid-60s and became the first psychedelic substance to be produced internally by the body. However, DMT research encountered political opposition in the following decade due to the growing anti-psychedelic sentiment, and was not studied again until the 90s.

In his book DMT-The Spirit Molecule, Dr. Rick Strassman discusses his groundbreaking research on DMT and its effects on the pineal gland. Dr. Strassman asserts that the pineal’s location in the center of the brain makes it an ideal candidate for DMT production. Since the third eye is close to the cerebrospinal fluid channels, this allows any secreted substance to be easily absorbed by the brain. Furthermore, the pineal is situated near the colliculi which are mounds of tissue that transmit emotional and sensory data to certain parts of the brain. It is also surrounded by the limbic system which governs the experience of emotions.

DMT is rapidly broken down by the body so the production center needs to be close to the emotional areas of the brain in order to have an effect on the consciousness of a person. The pineal contains the necessary enzymes to convert tryptamine (the base compound that derives melatonin and serotonin) into DMT. It also produces compounds called beta-carbolines which prevent neurotransmitter inhibitor enzymes called monoamine oxidase (MAO) from breaking down DMT. However, the pineal has mechanisms to prevent spontaneous DMT production during normal activities. For example, both the pineal and adrenal glands produce neurotransmitters called catecholamines. These are known to stimulate melatonin production in the pineal, and are produced in response to stress in the adrenals. When the adrenal catecholamines are near the pineal its nerve cells rapidly get rid of them. The nerve cells act as a security system to prevent the release of DMT in periods of everyday stress.

Dr. Strassman postulates that large amounts DMT are released by the pineal at specific points in a person’s life. "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.” He believes that DMT is released when the soul enters the fetus, at birth, during states of meditation or psychosis, and when the soul leaves the body. In patients with psychosis, enzymes that stimulate DMT production are elevated and MAO enzymes are decreased. Therefore, their third eye is unable to turn off DMT production, resulting in hallucinations. During states of deep meditation people have reported having mystical experiences similar to those produced by psychedelics. When a person enters a deep meditative state their brainwaves become slower and more coherent as they reach a level of expanded awareness. Thus, the pineal vibrates at these same frequencies which triggers the release of DMT. During birth and death, Strassman speculates that large amounts of catecholamines are released. Since birth and death can be high stress experiences, the pineal is overwhelmed with catecholamines which stimulate DMT release.

Dr. Strassman and his research team conducted a study in which they gave several volunteers low, medium, and high doses of IV DMT, and measured its effects on the body. When volunteers were given a dose of .05mg/kg, no psychedelic effects were present, but many experienced feelings of joy and happiness. At a medium dose volunteers experienced rapid colorful visual patterns that were kaleidoscopic or geometric in nature. At higher doses volunteers experienced complete loss of connection with reality as they were fully launched into a psychedelic experience. Many felt as if they had died, accompanied by feelings of bliss and euphoria, while a smaller percentage experienced feelings of terror and paranoia. Several reported traveling through realms with vibrant unfamiliar colors and shapes while whizzing past galaxies. Some volunteers even encountered beings who interacted with them and guided them through the DMT space. Overall the experiences were individual, but similar in many respects. Strassman’s research indicates that pineal DMT production may play a vital role in inducing mystical experiences during near death experiences, psychotic states, and deep states of meditation.

Pineal Calcification and Activation

Even though the pineal gland contains chemicals and neurotransmitters to induce mystical experiences without the use of external psychedelics, the pineal glands of most people are calcified and dormant. Many of the toxins in our food and environment are responsible for pineal calcification. Calcification prevents the pineal from functioning correctly and leads to decreased melatonin and DMT production. Fluoride, mercury, and processed foods, are some of the substances that contribute to pineal calcification. Fluoride is found in toothpaste and most of America’s water supply, and is one of the chief causes of pineal calcification. The calcified pineal contains the highest concentration of fluoride in the body.

Fluoride and mercury have been shown to effect brain function, and even lower IQ. Mercury can be found in vaccines and tooth fillings, and has been linked to the onset of autism in young children. However, fluoride can be removed from tap water with filters specifically designed for fluoride removal. Mercury and other heavy metals can be removed from the body with the correct supplements. Processed foods contain a plethora of additives, chemicals, and artificial compounds that indirectly cause pineal calcification, as well as a host of other health problems. Over 50% of the standard American diet consists of processed foods. Since their inception in the early 20s, processed foods have become a staple in many American diets, with Americans consuming 31% more processed food than fresh food.

There are numerous ways to activate and open the third eye, and each method can be individualized to suit the needs of the person. One of the most widely practiced pineal activation techniques is meditation. Dr. Joe Dispenza, author of “Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind”, claims that through the science of neuroplasticity, a person can rewire their brain. In his research with cases of spontaneous remission, Dr. Dispenza discovered that those who had achieved total healing from terminal illnesses were able to rewire their brain through positive intention and thought. When a person is awake and alert they are generally in a beta state. When one begins to enter a meditative trance the brain enters alpha, theta, and gamma states, with the latter being the slowest and most conducive for healing. These slow frequencies allow the brain to readily access the field of quantum possibility when an intention is set. This is because the brain is not preoccupied with tasks of daily survival and it is able to expand its focus beyond everyday needs. Therefore if a person sets an intention to open their third eye, it can be activated with regular meditation practice.

The use of supplements coupled with a more plant based diet is an excellent way to decalcify the pineal gland. Nascent iodine is an electrified form of iodine that is readily absorbed by the body which helps eliminate fluoride, bromine, chlorine, and other toxins. Not only does nascent iodine remove pineal toxins, but it also stimulates the thyroid, improves mental clarity, and aids in boosting the immune system. Chaga mushroom is one of the best supplements for pineal decalcification because of its high melanin content. Melanin is produced by the pituitary gland in the presence of melatonin and is a primary pineal food source. Chaga is one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants, and helps balance the immune system and prevent cancer, as well as a host of other diseases. Chaga medicines can be made into powder, tea, and single or dual extracts. Dual extracts are the most potent because they contain both the water and alcohol soluble compounds of the mushroom and are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Adding magnesium bicarbonate to drinking water not only decalcifies your pineal gland, but alkalizes your body and eliminates calcium deposits that have formed around other organs. Its Magnesium in water is absorbed 30% faster than magnesium in food and the bicarbonate amplifies the amount of magnesium absorbed by cells.

Since the pineal is a light sensitive, sun-gazing is a simple way to decalcify it. Sun-gazing is the practice of looking at the sun during the hour of sunset or sunrise in order to absorb its light energy. However, mainstream science has taught us that looking at the sun for even brief periods is harmful to our eyes, so many are skeptical of the process. In addition to pineal decalcification, sun-gazing can improve mental clarity, eliminate toxins, prevent mental and physical disease, slow the aging process, and decrease hunger. One of the most popular methods of gazing is the HRM method, named after its founder Hira Ratan Manek. HRM recommends that you begin gazing for 10 seconds, increasing 10 seconds each day until you reach a time of 45 minutes. According to this method total mental clarity occurs at 15 minutes and physical diseases start to disappear around the 30 minute mark. HRM believes after the 45 minute mark is reached, a person can stop gazing and start walking barefoot for 45 minutes per day on bare earth. This connection with the earth ensures that your “solar battery” remains charged. If this process is continued one experiences feelings of bliss and joy as their intuition supersedes the ego mind. It is recommended that a person only gaze an hour within sunset or sunrise when the UV index is low. When the sun is higher in the sky, the UV rays can be damaging to the retina of the eye. In order to gain the full benefit, HRM recommends that a person ground themselves by standing barefoot on dirt or sand while gazing. It is also important to note that you should never gaze while standing on grass because the plant life can absorb sun energy from the body and lessen the benefits. Sun-gazing is a journey for each person and the benefits and experiences are unique based on the intention and needs of the individual.

Western society once thought the third eye was a vestigial organ with no function, but its mysteries are slowly unraveling as science and spirituality merge. The discovery of DMT as a naturally occurring psychedelic adds validity to the complexities and unique nature of mystical experiences. As people connect with their spiritual nature through pineal decalcification, meditation, and other holistic practices the power of intention, belief, and thought becomes a driving force in the areas of health and spiritual attunement. We have only just begun to tap into the nature of our pineal, but as scientific evidence confirms spiritual knowledge mystical experiences become tangible tools for physical and spiritual growth.
