The Scientific Basis For The Spiritual Concept Of The Third Eye | Conscious Reminder - Duration: 12:18.

The Scientific Basis For The Spiritual Concept Of The Third Eye

Eastern spiritual paths and certain occult traditions have emphasized the concept of the "Third Eye".

This psycho-physical feature was correlated in diagrams, artwork and explanations as being situated approximately above the physical eyes,

in the middle of the forehead, and just above the central line of the nose.

The "Third Eye" was described as the seat of intuitive wisdom, of clairvoyance, of subtle information and spiritual or occult power.

The famous French philosopher Rene Descarte believed that the Third Eye was the point where the mind and body met and so he coined it the

"seat of the soul".

The Third eye is a significant point in both Bodymind science as well as neuroscience, and these two disciplines may shed light on why this

point in the body has such significant reality for the processes of consciousness as well as for our wellness and overall reality.

If one looks anatomically at this point on the skull then one finds that just behind the skull in this central point lies the Pineal Gland.

The Pineal Gland is a small but critical hormonal gland in our body.

The Pineal Gland is considered a regulating or master gland inasmuch as it regulates the cycles within our bodies,

and stimulates the production of many of the other hormones and glands in the body.

The critical cycle in all this is the light and dark cycle which is how the Pineal Gland responds to the cycle of sunlight and darkness in

our environment.

This is known as the Circadian Rhythm or cycle.

This is critically important for human mental and physical health and is primarily dictated by stable cycles or patterns of rest and waking

which are assisted by the timely production of hormones that facilitate these night and day states.

Many people are familiar with Melatonin as its the pill you are often prescribed when travelling in different time zones,

or for sleep disorders, or when suffering Jet Lag.

Melatonin is the key hormone that is produced by the Pineal Gland.

Melatonin is activated and produced based on whether this light sensitive Pineal gland detects natural light external to the body.

Melatonin production is critically important for humans as it has been linked to our survival,

sexuality and psychological senses due to its subsequent triggering of other critical hormonal and organ processes in each of us.

Melatonin is produced by the Pineal Gland modifying the feel-good hormone Serotonin found in the brain.

Serotonin is also a critical hormone found in the body, and is found in only very small amounts in the brain.

Overall low Serotonin levels are a classic symptom and outcome of Depression.

One of the problems with Depression is the resulting depletion of Serotonin also can rob the brain of its already low amounts of this

critical chemical.

If the Pineal Gland then cannot source enough Serotonin and so produce enough Melatonin in that depressed person,

sleep disorders can arise(which is a common symptom of Depression Sufferers).

What is worse is that the Pineal Gland can then in turn also have a disruptive effect on other cycles or the Circadian Rhythm of the body,

and so other problems and negative effects can arise for that person.

Likewise the absence of the triggering or stimulating effect of natural sunlight and its Ultra-violet component will also create a similar

disruptive effect.

In climates of the earth where sunlight is weak, clouded or periodically restricted, we find a related condition called Seasonal Adjustment

Disorder(SAD).

SAD looks and feels just like depression because of the similar effects that arise from the interrupted action of the Pineal Gland and how

that influences the bodymind outcome of that person.

A contrast to this is the effect of exposing oneself in a relaxed way in the sun(sunburn excluded).

The positive effect of being out in the natural sunshine and getting a good dose of sunlight is increased Pineal Gland production of

Melatonin and also of Serotonin due to related but separate processes of the body, brain and Autonomic Nervous System(ANS).

I always recommend depression sufferers to get out of their cold dark bedrooms and into the sun and into their bodies so they can let their

natural healing responses of the Pineal gland and other Bodymind processes do their positive work.

Interestingly Schizophrenics and Bi-Polar disorder sufferers have been found to either have low Serotonin or fluctuating levels of the same

hormone in their body over time.

Our psychological health is very much influenced by these critical hormones and glands in our body.

Serotonin and Melatonin have spiritual links to human consciousness as each is needed and involved in how the brain executes higher orders

of consciousness.

This is probably why in Hindu and Buddhist literature we see the Third Eye as being the Bodymind point of higher consciousness or the

spiritual centre in man.

Neuroscience also informs us of this reality.

Brain scans done with PET imaging equipment show that when a person meditates there is a lot of activity triggered in the medial prefrontal

cortex.

The medial prefrontal cortex lies in the same general area of the "third eye" of occult and eastern spiritual literature.

Brain research informs us that people who regularly meditate actually physically evolve their brain structures with neural changes that

promote higher consciousness.

Firstly, the medial pre-frontal cortex is thought by Neuroscientists to be part of the cognitive(mental) processing system of humans and

appears to play a inhibitory calming or influencing role over the emotional or limbic part of the brain.

This part of the brain also has been found to mediate and down-regulate the production of the stress hormone known as cortisol that is

produced via the Hypothalamic-Pituitary gland-Adrenal gland axis (HPA axis) when a person is stressed.

The signalling by the medial prefrontal cortex appears to regulate the generalization of fear and can dampen an overall increase in

escalation of fear mediated by the Amygdala, which is the part of the brain that evokes a "fight or flight" response in us all.

This is believed to be partly why meditation and mindfulness practices can assist anxiety and trauma sufferers to "dampen" down arousal

symptoms in their nervous system and brain function.

Neuroimaging or brain scans have confirmed that meditators actually shrink their Amygdala over time.

This is important as it reduces a person reactive "fight or flight" triggers and increases the tolerance of arousal that a person can take

on until they activate that emotional "fight or flight" state of being.

Such a person becomes able to be emotionally stable and in present time as a result of such changes.

This equates to an aspect of the Buddhist concept mindfulness.

Secondly and more specifically, a part of the brain known as the Orbitofrontal Cortex lies just above the orbit of the eyes and forms part

of the frontal lobe in the area that correlates to the "third eye".

This piece of brain facilitates direct inputs from many other cortical and sub-cortical areas of the brain.

It also sends or signals outwards other forms of information and signals to the same and different cortical and subcortical regions of the

brain.

The wealth of incoming information provides a snapshot of what is happening in the external environment as well as what reactions and plans

are being organised by other parts of the brain.

Critically its output communication affect a variety of behaviours and physiological responses,

including emotional and ANS responses organised by the Amygdala part of the brain.

It is this mediating function that apparently helps us integrate external experience with internal states,

and also allows us to influence states of being in the body and to raise our window of tolerance of arousal from internal and external

sources of discomfort.

This is speculated as being the vehicle by which Siddhis and spiritual people can alter their own bodily functions such as heart rate,

blood flow, pain thresholds etc when you see them demonstrating unusual "tricks" that appear painful or which would signal injury or death

in the rest of us.

The Orbitofrontal Cortex is also an area of brain that "lights up" in brain scans when meditation and visualisation occurs.

If one notices that the "outputs" go to mental centres, emotional centres, physiological processes,

and memory areas of the brain then an interesting correlation should be noted.

In meditation it is stressed that one should develop the correct logical thoughts or reasoning(mental),

develop a strong feeling(emotional), create a stable visualisation(memory), and have correct meditative posture(physiological posture) when

doing so.

In effect it is speculation but perhaps this is the critical reason why advancing one's spiritual realisations require the alignment of

each of these key areas.

The implication is that the Orbitofrontal Cortex may "update" our Bodymind reality across these different cortical and subcortical areas of

brain function.

A comprehensive set of new information may in turn shape our operative reality, which is the basis for the creation of "realisation" in

humans as a deep personal experience, as against just a mental conceptual knowledge of the same object.

Neuroimaging not only shows that meditators shrunk their Amgdala over time, but also that their Hippocampus increases over time.

The Hippocampus is commonly associated with memory function, and is part of the temporal lobe of the brain.

It appears that the Hippocampus plays a key part in consciousness by shaping conscious or declarative thinking and also mediating learnt

responses from past associations with incoming sensory data.

It is known that trauma and continued stress can damage Hippocampus cells via the action of the stress hormone Cortisol which creates cell

damage and shrinkage of the Hippocampus.

Apparently meditation can reverse or repair some of this damage and facilitates growth of the Hippocampus area of the brain.

Meditation has been shown to have a calming effect on the Bodymind system and promotes a relaxed feel-good,

parasympathetic state of the ANS outcome.

Immune system repair of the body needs such a state to exist for healing to occur and be sustained.

In conclusion it can be seen that there is now more evidence emerging that the point in the body known as the "third eye" correlates to the

same physical location of brain and gland functions which have direct impacts on our physical, mental,

emotional and spiritual states of being, as well as states of consciousness.

The set of processes and outcomes that the Pineal Gland, the Medial Prefrontal Cortex, and Orbitofrontal Cortex shape and influence,

could be realistically summarised and spoken of in spiritual and occultic terminology that we read from the Hindu and Buddhist traditions,

as well as the more hidden arcane schools of occult tradition.

It may be that over time science will validate many of these spiritual truths and statements as being based in scientific and medical fact.

Only time and further advances in Neuroscience, Neuropsychology, and Human Biology will tell.

What's The Need For God's Test?! ( Zakir Nayek's Answers) ما حاجة الله للامتحان؟ - Duration: 14:59.

Hello, first of all: My name is Rana & I'd like to talk about a very sensitive subject

And I'm gonna almost open a whole big series to talk about this subject

To get you into this, I come from a very religious family. Well, it was very religious. But you know, with time people become wiser and more conscious as they get older

When I was about 3/4 years old. I was staying at a home of a babysitter which my mom has put for us. And I asked my babysitter's relative one simple question

At the age of only 3 yrs old. & I remember his name (the relative's) was sami or samer. Anyway, I asked him and said: WHO IS GOD?

And then he looked at me like there was a big shock in his eyes..

I was only about 3/4 yrs old only. I was so young. So, then he slapped me and they all punished me etc...For just asking "Who is God?"

So, anyway I stopped asking and they told me that "God" exists & all you have to know is this & that you gotta be convinced that he exists. Point

And after that, I stayed my whole life - after that question - believing. But it wasn't because of being slapped or something...

Throughout my whole life in Syria as a child, my mom used to put us (my sisters & I ) in religious schools. Even Quran used to be played in our bus. It was to this level

So, I was always doing all the stuff that Muslims do, from praying to fasting to everything else. Until I reached a certain age: About 10/11 yrs old.

I started thinking about these things and subjects: God and religions etc...

And I started to focus and read more Quran. & every time I read it, I noticed that most of what it talks about is "torture" & that God is gonna torture you this great torture...

And all of it talks about how God is great and about the seduction of heaven etc..

Not only these things, I've also found lots of contradictions & things that my brain used to question a lot.

Many doubts & many questions... So then, I've reached a stage at the age of 13/14 in which I started to search, read & follow my searches more

So, I searched and found the things which were not logical in the Quran. There are a lot of illogical things.

I'll talk about these things in details. Well, as much as I can. Cause of course, no matter how much I talk, there will always be things to be discussed..

But, I will try to cover most of them.

Now, I know that a lot of which have entered this video would not like to continue watching perhaps

I know that the truth is....The human being.. Since the religion's subject is a very sensitive subject

And anything that's discussed against it (the religion) will be refused by people in general.

When people are convinced about something in general, they'd automatically NOT accept what goes against their convictions..

Even if they're aware that what goes against their own convictions could be the TRUTH, they'd still refuse and NOT accept to admit.

& I'm not talking about everyone but let's just talk about the " Theist" ones

So, lemme start my subject today

Today, I'd like to talk about "THE TEST" that God has put us all into. So, let's start

Before I get into the subject, let me specifically 1st talk about the definition of " Religion" . According to the logical interpretation & Wikipedia:

Religion is a term that sums up beliefs & thoughts which explain - according to their adherents thoughts - the purpose of life and the universe

It's also usually defined as the BELIEF that's related to what's beyond nature and divinities

As you heard .... ( repeating the definition quickly...)

...And is usually defined as the " Belief"

The belief...what is meant by " A belief " ?

It means " A thought" so, religion is nothing but a belief and a thought...

Let's see the definition of CREED now

The CREED is (by language, term & religion ) 1- as a language: is called for what a person thinks/believes in, then hold his/her heart & conscience to

So then he/she would have it more like a referee which doesn't accept the doubt

The Islamic Creed is: The summed up religious things that must be believed by the Muslim. It'd be a certainty that cannot be mixed with doubts.

A definition from the definitions of this word is " The thing which a person thinks/believes in "

Because terms and words definitions are important, there are a lot of people who mix up between a term & another with the meanings. They wouldn't know the TRUE meanings and definitions

That's why it's important for one to search for the true meanings of words... Anyway, let's get into our subject now...

The TEST

Anyone who's religious & Muslim and what mostly makes him/her be a theist is because...

Why is he/she living here? What's his/her aim in this life? Why is there death? What is our aim in life? Why is there death, who made this whole world

Whether a Muslim or a Christian or belongs to another religion. All of them have this belief/thought

Which is nothing but a thought ..

Anyway, let's continue. All of them relate the religious interpretations of life to the questions that they have.. They relate everything to religion

And they find that religion is giving them the answers to their questions. Ok? So, when they tell me that "We're" living here because of a test

God is testing us. God has put us in this life in order to test us & see how our actions will be like..& that God has given us the freedom of choosing

And you'll find them saying that we're able to choose a lot of things (Almost everything from what we do) - but though, we'd always have things in which we cannot choose

& this is the truth.. Like our feelings. When we feel something, we don't feel it because we have chosen to feel

I'll talk about this subject later with lots of details...But for now let's stick to our current subject: *The TEST*

First of all: THE TEST.. Okay, my first question to you guys - although, I know its answer- but one can really learn when questioned & answered....so

So my question to you guys is: Knowing that God knows everything, right? God has this prescience and knowledge of everything & everything that will happen in this life

God has this ULTIMATE KNOWLEDGE, right? This is the TRUTH according to you theists, yeah? This is the truth that you know

We agree on this point, yeah?... Okay..Moving on with the question

As long as God knows everything that'll happen & everything that we're gonna be doing even including ALL OF our CHOICES

So...

Why is he making this TEST from the first place? WHEN he already knows its RESULTS?!

I mean, when results are known, is there a need for a test to be made? ... No! There's no need!

So, what lots of Muslims and religious people say - including one of the biggest and most pro sheikh of Islam (like the father for Christians) who has lots of followers

Who's known as " Zakir Naik"

Watch this short video of " Zakir Naik" answering a question very similar to mine, about "What's the need for the test when God knows everything including our destinies & all"..

So watch and know his answer now and I'll get back to you.

I've made a shortcut for the video so for anyone who wanna watch the whole video of Zakir Naik can follow the link provided in the description below.

His answer was cut from the video, so here it is ... WATCH :)

Good? ...Have you found the answer that he said? Have you listened to it? Focused much and understood it?

Okay, let's talk about Zakir Naik's answer. As long as this is the answer answered by a pro Sheikh who is followed by lots of Muslims

Let ME answer his answer as well.. I'm gonna make a shortcut to his answer first

He said that the teacher who would be in a certain class would know the level of this student and that other & other etc...

She/he knows that this student was attending the Cinema for instance, & that he wasn't studying & paying attention

So, she/he started to predict the probable results of each student, thinking that this student will pass and other will not

The teacher started to predict and know - though, the teacher wouldn't be 100% sure - but he/she would still be expecting/predicting

The teacher would be expecting that this student will pass and the other will not and she/he would still be making the TEST

The same goes for God: He knows if this person is passing and that other person is NOT but he's still making this TEST... Right? .. Okay

Now.. What's the definition to the word "Expectation" or "Prediction"?

Go see it yourself if you don't wanna hear it from me, although I'm not gonna be saying it from my own diction.

But just in case you wanna get assured of it...

Let's see what " Prediction" means, now

Prediction by WIKIPEDIA: is a statement about an uncertain event. It is often, but not always, based upon experience or knowledge.

And...

So, it's a statement about an UNCERTAIN event to be happening - nevertheless, a prediction is still being made

And it's based upon knowledge or and experience - so a prediction is made upon relying on these things -

Moreover, GUARANTEED accurate information about the future (by predicting) is in many cases IMPOSSIBLE (According to Wikipedia)

So, one CANNOT predict and be 100% accurate & there's no guarantee in this..

The meaning behind this is that when the teacher predicts about the results of certain students, saying this will pass & the other will not for example

The teacher is doing nothing but a PREDICTION but that doesn't mean that the teacher's prediction is 100% accurate and one cannot argue about it or something

And if the teacher's prediction is 100% accurate then there will be NO need to make a TEST.. and this is logic.

How is Zakir Naik even comparing a teacher - who predicts something for example- with God?

God.. Who knows everything.. meaning that God doesn't even need to be predicting things from the first place

God knows, without expecting.. There's nothing known as " prediction" for God.. God knows without having the need to predict

That's why, the interpretation which Sheikh Zakir Naik has explained is totally illogical & irrelevant

It's not related to God..Cause God knows everything unlike the teacher

The teacher expects & predicts but she/he ACTUALLY doesn't KNOW..that's why she/he needs to make the TEST but GOD knows!
