Pineal Gland and Intuition
I’ve written in The Intuitive Warrior (TIW) about how the pineal gland can be part of expanding your intuition into higher realms of consciousness. I could have written a whole chapter alone on the volumes of information available about the pineal gland. It is truly a most fascinating subject. I was inspired to write this piece after receiving an email from a TIW reader who commented on the bio-luminescent pineal gland.
The pineal gland is bio-luminescent and sensitive to light.
Awakening this gland can speed up our learning, improve our memory ability, enhance our intuition, wisdom and creativity, trigger our psychic healing abilities and experience bliss.
The Pineal Gland resonates to the frequency of the B tone, musically. It emits a violet or white color (frequency) and thus is stimulated by these colors or frequencies. Therefore, violet (and purple and indigo) crystals (e.g. Amethyst, Charoite, Dumortierite, Purple Lepidolite, etc.) and clear/translucent crystals (e.g. Opal Aura Quartz, Clear Quartz, Herkimer Quartz, Selenite, etc.) greatly stimulate this gland and help to open it if it is closed.
Also, according to scientist Dr Grahame Blackwell, a large number of small crystals have been found in the gland called calcite micro-crystals. They bear a striking resemblance to the calcite crystals in the inner ear, that have been shown to exhibit the qualities of an electric field known as piezoelectricity. If the Pineal Gland [ Penial Gland ] crystals exhibit the same qualities, then this would provide a means whereby an external electromagnetic field might directly influence the brain.
At close magnification the Calcite Micro-Crystals are visible on the actual gland.
I believe that we are connected to our higher self through the pineal gland which acts as a sort of wireless transmitter, enabling us to be connected to multiple dimensions. I just recently read that the cellular phone companies were devising a way to implant a miniaturized version of a cell phone in a tooth and using the pineal gland as the antenna.
Are we getting a little closer to actual telepathy? Think about those times when you have thought of a friend or loved one and when you called them they said that they were just thinking of you. Perhaps you were thinking of them and your own phone rang and it was them. This is the pineal gland at work sending your thought energy out.
These thoughts sent from the pineal gland know no time or space restraints and can happen instantly anywhere in the world. I have experienced this with my wife on many occasions while I was all the way on the other side of the world.
Saying the word or thinking the word ‘Love’ from the heart activates this gland as well. If you are saying the word out loud use a drawn out pitch until you feel it resonate within your brain. When we say the meditative word AH.. or God, Buhdda, Allah, Jehovah, Krishna, Shiva, Ra etc… we are saying this eternal word that stimulates the pineal and connects us with all that is.
I have mentioned in TIW that love is the opposite of fear. This is true in a dualistic three dimensional world but we are moving out of this awareness and into a higher awareness of only love which has no opposite and is all encompassing and pervasive.
A few activities you can do to clean your pineal gland include the following: do outdoor activities and go barefoot on the earth to ground out accumulated electromagnetic energies from computers and cell phones, eat less sugar, eliminating processed foods and fluoride can help to revitalize and power up your pineal gland.
Fluoride accumulates in the gland causing it to be less effective. Because of this I recommend moving to non-fluoride toothpaste and using a filtration system to remove fluoride from your drinking water if you know your city adds it. Medical science refers to the pineal gland as “the atrophied third eye”. By the age of 12, it has already calcified and hardened and by adulthood, it is dormant and atrophied from lack of use. Recent research reveals that fluoride which is a toxic additive to our water supply and toothpaste accumulates in the pineal gland where it wreaks havoc.

Deep breathing also stimulates and activates the Pineal Gland. So does meditation.
The best tools for Pineal stimulation and activation are crystals. The following crystals or stones placed over the Third Eye (6th charka, which also corresponds to the Pineal Gland). These stones include: Amethyst, Charoite, Dumitorite, Pietersite, Lodestone, Quartz, Purple Fluorite, Purple Sapphire, Dragonite, Moonstone, Purple Lepidolite, Rhyolite, and Ruby. These stones should be left on the Third Eye for a minimum of 15 minutes and a maximum of 60-90 minutes. However, 30-45 minutes will get the job done. This can be done daily. It can be done during meditation or charka balancing.
Essential oils are also helpful tools in stimulating and activating the Pineal Gland. Essential oils of Mugwort, Sandalwood, Lavender, Frankincense, Myrrh, Pine, Oakmoss, and Himalayan Cedar all help to stimulate the Pineal Gland. A small drop of oil rubbed directly over the Third Chakra will do the job. Inhaling the oils or burning them in a diffuser will also stimulate and activate this gland.
Herbs also help to stimulate and activate this gland. They include Chamomile, Pine Bark, Lavender bud, Wild Indigo Bark, Violet, Licorice, and Ginseng.
Sacred sex (greatly practiced in Tantric and Taoist cultures) is also a powerful tool to stimulate and activate the Pineal Gland. http://sacred-sex.org/
Recent studies have found that the human pineal gland, in the centre of the brain, has been found to contain large numbers of calcite micro-crystals that “bear a striking resemblance” to calcite crystals found in the inner ear. The ones found in the inner ear have been shown to exhibit the quality of piezoelectricity. Because of this piezoelectric quality your pineal gland is like a cell phone that can send and receive messages by connecting the link between the physical and spiritual worlds and higher frequencies such as your higher self.
Perhaps it is the thurmoluminescent quality of calcite crystals that cause the bio-luminescence of the pineal gland. Thermoluminescence is a property of some minerals to glow when they are heated. The minerals contain chemical bonds that emit light when thermal energy (heat) is applied to them.
The Pineal Gland secretes various hormones, two of which have been identified as Melatonin and Serotonin. Melatonin is secreted between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. and Serotonin between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Both are anti-aging in nature and effect, especially Melatonin. Serotonin is a natural anti-depressant. Serotonin is secreted during sunlight hours.
The pineal gland is located near to the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two rounded thalamic bodies join. Unlike much of the rest of the brain, the pineal gland is not isolated from the body by the blood-brain barrier system. It is reddish-gray and about the size of a pea (8 mm in humans), located just rostro-dorsal to the superior colliculus and behind and beneath the stria medullaris, between the laterally positioned thalamic bodies. It is part of the epithalamus.
Third Eye – Pineal Gland
The pineal gland is shaped like a tiny pine cone, hence its name. The symbol of the pineal gland is the pine cone. It is so revered by the Vatican that a special Vatican court was built called the ‘Court of the Pine Cone’ where the world’s largest pineal gland symbol is on display! The symbol is also found on the staff of the Pope and the Egyptian god Osiris.
Next to the Vatican Museums is a large courtyard called the Courtyard of the Pine because of the enormous bronze pine cone situated in it. It isn’t a statue. Apparently it dates from around the 1st century BC and was likely to have been used as a fountain in the baths of Agrippa which stood just behind the Pantheon. It was moved in the early Middle Ages and placed in front of the original Basilica of St. Peter built by the Emperor Constantine where it was used as a fountain. The bronze pine cone is one of only a handful of spolia preserved from the original St. Peter’s.
This is a picture of candles used in Catholic masses. This is typical in Roman Catholic services and ornaments.
Here is an interesting article from the web site Energy Fanatics on the subject.
Michael Jaco served as a Navy SEAL for twenty-four years before becoming an independent security contractor. During his service he achieved what many others previously thought to be impossible or unattainable. He retired in December 2002 as a Navy "Chief" and started his own training organization which educates participants in tactical awareness skills. Born in Columbia, South Carolina, he now lives in Elgin with his wife and children. 
Fascinating bio-intuitive stuff Mike! Thanks for sharing. I hope you’re well!
Awesome article Michael.
Thank you for you continued research and teachings.

Hi – “Stumbled” onto your website today : ) One question about this article … The adrenal glands are located above your kidneys. It states here that “when stressed, the adrenal presses down on the pineal” – perhaps I am just not understanding the content properly but would love to know! Thanks – I’m SO fascinated!
Hi Beverly, Thanks for your comments and for bringing to my awareness a mis-statement about the pineal gland. Here is some info on the adrenal glands.
The body has two adrenal glands, one near the top of each kidney. The inner part (medulla) of the adrenal glands secretes hormones, such as adrenaline (epinephrine), that help control blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, and other activities also regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal glands are controlled in part by the brain. The hypothalamus, a small area of the brain involved in hormonal regulation, produces corticotropin-releasing hormone and antidiuretic hormone. These two hormones trigger the pituitary gland to secrete corticotropin (also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone or ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids.
I believe that stress when directed properly can actually bring about altered states of consciousness and I’ve experienced these states throughout my life. I have experienced them while playing sports, martial arts training and during combat. This state in my opinion is triggered by the production of hormones and adrenaline from the adrenals but unfortunately science has not caught up with documenting this aspect of higher states of consciousness yet. For this articles sake we’ll say that when stressed correctly your pineal gland secretes DMT.
When the pineal gland is stimulated through meditation or Hallucinogens like Peyote, LSD or ayahuasca it secrets (DMT). Hallucinogens have been used by ancient cultures for spiritual development for thousands of years. Historically, hallucinogens have been most commonly used in religious or shamanic rituals. In this context they are referred to as entheogens, and they are used to facilitate healing, divination, communication with spirits, and coming-of-age ceremonies. Evidence exists for the use of entheogens in prehistoric times, as well as in numerous ancient cultures, including the Ancient Egyptian, Mycenaean, Ancient Greek, Vedic, Maya, Inca and Aztec cultures. The Upper Amazon is home to the strongest extant entheogenic tradition; the Urarina of Peruvian Amazonia, for instance, continue to practice an elaborate system of ayahuasca shamanism, coupled with an animistic belief system.
The rise of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) caused a decline of entheogenic use of hallucinogens use in its wake, as the authority of scripture and the priesthood gradually reduced the role granted to direct spiritual experience, especially by the laity or non clergy. Examples of this development include the destruction of the Eleusinian Mysteries, which are now widely assumed to have involved entheogenic rituals, and the Great Witch Hunt of the Early Modern Age, in which practitioners of entheogenic rites in Western Europe were accused of associating with the devil. The Spanish conquistadores associated local entheogenic traditions of South America with heresy and satanism, and uprooted many of them, but nevertheless, some cultures there and elsewhere have kept their traditions alive to this day.
According to Dr. Sérgio Felipe de Oliveira, Master of Science at the University of São Paulo’s medical school and director of the Pineal Mind Clinic, an increase in pineal activity is intimately related with psychic activity such as visions or meditation.
Furthermore, besides the multiple endogenous functions of the pineal gland (control of the hypothalamus and biological rhythms, and protection from free radicals) it is also responsible for emitting N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), known by some as the “spirit molecule.” The liberation of this molecule is considered to be one of the most powerful hallucinogenic neurotransmitters known to man. It increases during sleep, in certain meditative states, during near-death experiences, as well as with the ingestion of hallucinogenic plants.
I just recently read an excellent fictional book by Graham Hancock called “Entangled” which delves deeply into the use of hallucinogens.
Skeptics question the validity of these supposed episodes of heightened awareness into other dimensional planes, preferring instead to believe such experiences to be merely chemically induced phenomena limited to the brain. But they have trouble offering a reasonable explanation for the relationship of the liberation of DMT (and the consequent formation of images in the pineal) with near-death experiences.
Such is recognized by Dr. Rick Strassman, who has conducted exhaustive studies of the effects of DMT in humans. Research of this kind begins to approach the pineal gland as more than a vestigial eye relegated to producing hormones, but as an inborn window into other planes of existence.
This view of the pineal gland is not new. It represents the sixth chakra of ajna spoken of in the Vedic tradition, the window of Brahma as it is known in Hinduism, the Celestial Eye as the ancient Chinese call it, the Niwan Palace as it is known by Taoists, or the “Seat of the Soul” according to Descartes. Could this tiny cone hidden at the center of the brain embody the potential to peer into realms that science is simply unable to grasp?
Hope this answers your question Beverly. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for this great article and all the information.
I love your book!
Mr. Jaco,
Could you please comment on this paragraph posted above.
“Free mason’s put the all-seeing eye on the one dollar bill, and formed a society to worship the dollar bill so that they being a higher power could control the people. Another quick note on mind control: a matrix in geometry is a square or rectangle composed of rows and columns with numbers to keep people entertained while they suffer, how often do we find ourselves in places that fit this description?”
I’m familiar with the Mason mastery of sacred geometry and their work with the higher centers of consciousness. I am confused as to the reference to “they being a higher power could control the people.”
Thank you, and great work.
By the way, how do you feel about Jesse Ventura for pres in 2012?
Namaste.
Hi Light,
Perhaps “they being a higher power could control the people” is the author of this quote’s way of saying that secret societies inspire people to formulate opinions that may or may not be right? I personally find Masonic work intriguing and it does not inspire fear in me. Would be nice to know their secret information without having to join their club though.
Jesse may have had a shot at being Vice President last time round if McCain had teamed up with him. He is probably too controversial now however. His new book “American Conspiracies” is an excellent read but makes him even more controversial than ever before. Perhaps if there was a major shake-up in our political system he could make it but until then he will have to stir the pot outside the political arena.
Michael,
I agree with you, and thank you for taking the time to reply. I have not read Jesse’s new book yet, but thoroughly enjoyed “Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me”. His stories of the governorship are epic.
Thanks again.
Light
wow thank you for this incredible information it sounds too good to be true
great post, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this informative article. The clearest I have read on this subject and I will put a link to it in my blogs, everyone should know this stuff…
