➝ The Pineal Gland and Symbolism of a Unified Consciousness. 🧠

A balanced state between the left and right hemispheres occurs when they come into conjunction, unison, and harmony with one another and the masculine and feminine don’t dominate over the other but are in the alchemical wedding, the marriage between the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine. The neocortex acts in its proper role as the executive command center over the whole-brain complex, and is not fractured by an imbalance and impediment of higher order thinking brought on through living in a chronic emotional state or a fight or flight, stress, or desire to control ways of being.

A balanced consciousness recognizes they are neither a master nor a slave of other beings, but can only be a master of themselves in a state of Dominion, self-rulership, self-ownership, and self-governance, one that is not divided amongst themselves. As we think, so we feel and so we act. We are not in internal opposition, conflict or contradiction in our thoughts, emotions or actions, but our conceptions, feelings and behavior are integrated, consistent and coherent all around without engaging in doublethink or cognitive dissonance to hold onto particular illusions for validation of our current condition.

We must face ourselves in true honesty and self-respect and rectify the contradictions in the ways that we think to no longer deceive ourselves, so that we can recognize the way we truly feel and then engage in proper action as a result. This is how we can change our situation because it is only a current condition so long as we choose to keep it this way. We have to care enough and have the courage and will to face the reality of what ‘is’, the truth, within ourselves and in the external world in all its beauty, positivity and goodness as well as its horror, negativity and badness, in the light of truth and honest self-respect looking at ourselves in the mirror and what the consequences of our actions mean, shedding light on the darkness, demon, negative and shadow of ourselves and the world in order to learn and accurately understand the mess we have got ourselves into.

We cannot remain in denial and avoidance of those things we do not wish to look at and continue to accept those comfortable lies from others and ourselves, but must face the truth in order to heal the self-inflicted wounds. We can come to recognize and admit our wrongs and through courage and will choose to change our behaviors, habits and actions in alignment with what is good, right and true, what is in alignment with our true Selves, to be as a Phoenix and purify ourselves of those things we recognize do not serve us along our positive evolution in consciousness, to sublimate, transmute, purify and heal ourselves by rising from the ashes of who we formally were, to be reborn anew in a reconstituted way having left behind that which we no longer desire to be.

The balanced brain can be symbolized through the third eye, one eye, all seeing eye, and pineal gland located in the center of the head inside of the middle chamber, the limbic brain. The pineal gland is shaped like a pine-cone and is involved with the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and the pituitary and amygdala gland in the Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, which is a major part of the neuroendocrine system that controls reactions to stress and regulates many body processes. When the pineal gland is said to become active through the balancing of the brain hemispheres, consciousness opens up and true discernment can be made, distinguishing truth from falsehood. This can be seen as a physiological activation or a symbolic one represented by the manifestation of consciousness in alignment with reality, what ‘is’, the truth.

Other symbolism associated with this modality of consciousness is represented by the unification of the upward and downward pointing triangles. The upward triangle is the masculine Yang energy and is referred to as the blade and is a primary phallic symbol because it is associated with the thrust force through which we project outward as our actions in the world. The inverted triangle is the feminine Yang energy referred to as the chalice or womb, and is the internal aspect of consciousness. Bringing these two symbols together describes consciousness in a unified balance state and has been referred to as the ‘Seal of Solomon’ with the two triangles interlocked and neither one is on top of the other. The name Solomon can be divided into ‘sol’ and ‘mon’ which are the sun and moon representative of the sacred masculine and feminine. This is also symbolized as the chemical, electrochemical or alchemical wedding because the chemical and electrical activity of the human brain is functioning in wholeness, oneness, and harmony.

To solve the problems we are facing as a species we need to work on ourselves and what some traditions have called the Temple inside, our consciousness, psyche or mind represented by the human brain. Our consciousness, as it is manifesting through the faculties of the brain, is the underlying causal factor of what generates our experience by the expressions of our thought, emotion and action. In this sense the external world we contribute to and co-create is truly a reflection of what is going on inside of us as we manifest outwards through our actions. If the physiological component (brain) through which consciousness is able to manifest in this experience is not functioning properly, we don’t engage in much higher order thinking. We can end up engaging in destructive behaviors to the brain such as substance abuse, and activities such as cage fighting, boxing, riding a motorcycle without a helmet, etc. There is very little respect for the Temple inside of those people, in order for them to desecrate a gift like this for whatever justification or money.
