A new love
For nearly the whole of my life, I have tried to take things apart to find similarities and correlations. Today, my search was for the prefix “eu-”, which means ‘good’. How I came to this was purely by accident, which must be explained in detail to support my passage of thought.
Right now, I have 13 browser windows open- most of which were opened yesterday and saved for further review today. Most of them trace my learning of the Pineal Gland, in the following order: Pineal Gland, Melatonin, Harmine (which appears to activate the pineal gland), Pineal Gland and the ‘Third Eye’, Taoism- Walking the invisible path and finally, Wen Winger- Proven Techniques to boost your brain’s performance.
The importance of the Pineal Gland, scientifically, is the regulation of the hormone Melatonin, which is directly responsible for the transition through puberty and sexual maturation. Science, being as it is, has left a lot of important things about the Pineal Gland wholly out of context. The actual purpose of the pineal gland and its fruit, melatonin, is the achieving of growth and further enlightenment into higher phases of reasoning. I have read that entire systems have been dedicated to this area of the brain. For example, the Chinese have dedicated a whole chakra to it. Humanity, since the dawn of time, has realized its importance in spiritual growth without fully comprehending what was actually there. Monks use the OM (in such a frequency that vibrates the rear of the upper palette) to activate it. Interestingly enough, I have also read that certain species of butterfly and the herb known as tobacco ‘decalcifies’ and activates this gland when taken orally (Shulgin’s List).
Now, my current train of thought is directly associated with my mention of calcification. It is said that the normal pineal gland calcifies at around the age of twelve. This means that the gland, which is made up of soft tissue, accumulates calcium, which causes it to harden. As it transforms from its natural state, the gland produces less and less of the hormone Melatonin.
There is something else which causes the Pineal Gland to calcify. Fluoride, a man-made byproduct of Aluminum, which is predominantly used in dental care. Most toothpaste and mouthwash brands use this as the active ingredient to ‘prevent tooth decay and fight cavities’. Our government even loves us enough to put this substance in our tap water in the effort to distribute this ‘dental health’ agent evenly over the whole of the US. Here is some of their propaganda. They even care to mention that this is a measure specifically taken for children.
By drawing a very short line between your oral cavity and your Pineal Gland, you can quickly see why this insoluble solid is the preferred method of introduction. It is fact that the mouth is not only a cavity in which we render food into mash which can be swallowed, it is also the primary organ by which the brain absorbs nutrients. “They” know this too. In fact, toothpaste is considered a poison if swallowed. It is a neurotoxin, to be specific. Yet somehow, mouthwash and toothpaste is safe to do its job in your mouth and the mouth of your child.
Since I have quit smoking, I try my best to keep lingering tastes to a minimum, especially that of coffee. Though I’ve known about fluoridation for years, I’m thinking about it this morning as I clean my teeth. I then take the time to apply deodorant as well. I am not an extremely avid wearer of deodorant (I shave my armpits to reduce the necessity of application), but I decide that I might as well educate myself on this as well. I read that the active ingredient in my anti-perspirant is Aluminum Zirconium. We sure love our Aluminum, don’t we.
Interesting fact: Alzheimer’s is caused by the buildup of Aluminum in the brain.
What is wrong with this picture? I feel like I’m waking up from a bad dream, only to discover that it really is happening!!!
I then start thinking about other methods of hygiene and wonder what hygiene really meant. The word itself means “The Healthful Art”, but the methods by which we pursue cleanliness and good hygiene are anything but healthy- especially for someone who considers himself on a path to higher understanding.
Throughout my life, I have been unknowingly subjected to poisons which focus on the death of the higher-mind. It is no wonder that I have had to work so hard to attain something that is otherwise so natural. I find it easy to cast aside ‘facts’ that are taught to us because of my understanding of the nature of fact (which I will discuss later, possibly in one of my tenets). Despite this, as a child, I drank up to four gallons of milk a week! I was on Ritalin for four years! I’ve been brushing my teeth almost every day since second grade.
While I am proud of myself for withstanding such blows to my parapsychological health, I’m doing everything I can to dissuade myself from considering myself tainted and beyond repair from the damage that has been already caused.
My particular interest in the prefix “Eu-”, found in my opening statements, comes from the study of the word “Euthanasia”, which I now find means “Mercy Killing” or “Good Death”.
I will continue this at a later time
Know this, my dear reader- I am far from considering myself depressed in any manner of the word. I am on top of the world, seeking only a way further upward. I urge you to have belief in yourself despite all obstacles.
