The Symbolic Pinecone

May represent the pineal gland, which is known as the third eye---the gateway to the higher self or soul.

In the Vatican there is a large statue of a pinecone. The scepter the pope uses has a pinecone at the top.  But they were not the first to use this symbol...

From the Bible the single eye, third eye (pineal gland)

Jesus says, if your eye be single your body will fill with light.

Christians say he is telling us to keep focused on him, I am saying that Jesus is saying to activate the Pineal Gland in meditation.

First of all, when Jesus says if your eye be single your body will fill with light, how does the Bible define what God is and what light is?

Numbers 23:19.  God is not a man

So this entity we call God is clearly defined in the Bible as non-human.

1 John 1:5.  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Here the Bible clearly identifies God as a light being. A photon of sorts.

So then we could turn that statement of Jesus concerning the single eye to read like this.

Matthew 6:22.  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of God.

 I am connecting the single eye with the Pineal Gland. The Bible connects God with light.

The Pineal Gland is the light receptor of the Body.

On January 6th, traditional religion celebrates Epiphany, which is the enlightening.

The word roots from the word epiphysis.

 When you look in the medical dictionary you will see that the Pineal Gland of the brain has another name. It is called epiphysis.

 So now we understand what the enlightening truly is.

 The stimulation of the Pineal Gland by the sun energy rising from the lower part of the body.

Celebrating Epiphany and Christmas is to make it a part of your body and mind. To make it a part of your existence.

To celebrate Christmas perpetually is to take part in the rising of the sun energy within you, to sit at the right hand allowing it to bring you  to  new life and new understanding.

They were able to witness to the Resurrection, St. Thomas says, because after his death they saw him alive, "oculata fide." Oculus is the Latin word for "eye." Oculata fide means "faith that has eyes."

Perhaps it is something like the "third eye" spoken of in Eastern religions. Anyway, I have translated it as "the discerning power of faith." The disciples may have lost hope in Jesus after he died, but they never lost their love for him and their faith in him. And it was this love and faith that gave them the discerning eye that enabled them to recognize him, when others could not.

Illuminati:

The “all seeing eye” on money…

http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/All_Seeing_Eye.htm

The top of the Great Seal pyramid shows an eye-in-triangle, which has been associated with Sirius, the Eye of God, the pineal gland, and the Illuminati.

What the Serpent promised Adam and Eve, was that their knowledge would be broadened, if they ate of the forbidden fruit...  But the most foreboding aspect of this scriipture emerges from the fact, that the Hebrew word for "eyes" is not plural, but singular.

What the Serpent actually told Adam and Eve, was that their "eye" would be broadened by knowledge.  The "eye" that is not the physical organ of sight, but the eye of the mind or soul.

This singular "eye" is called the "third eye" of clairvoyance in the Hindu religion, the eye of Osiris in Egypt, and the All-Seeing Eye in Freemasonry.

***Note that the eye above the pyramid on the $1 bill, is that  of "man", replacing the eye of Horus / Osiris  or   "man playing god"  in the seat of  power.  Is Daniel writing prophecy here?  Of the rise of the United States?

What is the Third Eye and why should Christians know about it.

First let’s look at Wikipedia:

The 3rd or Inner Eye  - A metaphysical opening which refers to the 6th chakra (brow), that leads to higher consciousness. A new age symbol of enlightenment.

Okay… so the Third Eye is a psychic ability connected to the occult. Dictionary.com defines occult as knowledge of secret or supernatural powers, beyond the the range of ordinary senses, or secret/hidden information only available to the initiated.

Next we need to know how one “opens” this Third Eye. The main way that one opens himself up to the spirit realm, is through meditation.  It is through meditation that one achieves an altered state of consciousness. Constantly you will find that meditation, or the emptying of one’s mind,  is the doorway to all metaphysical activity.

Back to the 6th chakra.  The chakras usually relate to yoga, but not always.  The 6th chakra in yoga is the brow.  When kundalini (serpent power) rises to the the brow, there is enlightenment that is characterized by light. Those using yoga as a means of enlightenment get results by meditation, forced breathing patterns and using unnatural positions to force the power at the base of the spine upwards with the crown chakra as the main goal.

Another way enlightenment occurs is through meditation and visualization.  Certain techniques are used to “see” and direct the serpent power up the spine through the chakras (nerve centers/wheels).

Here is another descriiption.  The kundalini rises and then goes into the brain and then down into the pituitary gland which awakens the pineal gland. When they meet there is union.  This is an initiation of the birth of passage into another dimension and beyond. This is supposed to cause an explosion of light.

The third eye is also known as:

The middle eye of Shiva in Buddhism.

In Hinduism it is the eye of clairvoyance. This Hindus wear the Tilak. The red spot between the brows.  When i was researching my Goddess Worship post, i looked at a link, describing Christian women who have been applying the red spot on their forehead and worshipping each other’s divinity.

In Egypt it is known as The Eye of Horus or the Eye of Osiris.

In Freemasonry, it is the All Seeing Eye.  The same one that is found on our one dollar bill. This All Seeing Eye is surrounded by light.

But the eye usually means the same…esoteric knowledge that man so desires. This eye represents the passing  into a spiritual world than man has no business entering.  

In Genesis 3:5-7  For God doth know..then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as Gods…knowing Good and Evil….And the eyes of them both opened.

The Hebrew word for eyes is not plural but singular so what the serpent said was that their eye would be broadened by knowledge.  scriipture here is not talking about the physical organ but the eye of the soul.
