The pineal gland, also known as the pineal body, conarium or epiphysis cerebri, is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. The shape of the gland resembles a pine cone, hence its name (approximately 8mm). The pineal gland is located in the epithalamus, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus join. From serotonin, it secretes melatonin and plays, through this hormone, a central role in the regulation of biological rhythms (sleep / wake and seasonal)

Serotonin is synthesized on the day in general, it is stored in the pineal gland when it is created. The night serotonin is secreted and a reaction allows the transformation of melatonin.

This hormone is very important in the regulation of sleep, and some studies have demonstrated, it is important that its rate is high, as this will promote safe behavior, thoughtful, calm.

Nearly all vertebrate species possess a pineal gland. The human pineal gland grows in size until about 1–2 years of age, remaining stable thereafter, although its weight increases gradually from puberty onwards. The abundant melatonin levels in children are believed to inhibit sexual development, and pineal tumors have been linked with precocious puberty. When puberty arrives, melatonin production is reduced. In adults, this glance is often calcified because of the decrease in melatonin and the effects of this calcification can be depression, anxiety, bulimia / anorexia, schizophrenia and other mental disorders ...

Calcification of the epiphysis is caused mainly by the calcium fluoride that circulates in blood. The pineal gland contains the highest concentration of fluoride in the body. One of the elements that most calcified pineal gland is the toothpaste is elevated fluoride.

“…The central role of serotonin was established a short time after the accidental discovery of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25). Tiny quantities of this substance, were found to cause profound alterations in consciousness, inducing states ranging from deeply felt religious and mystical experiences to paranoia and schizophrenia. The LSD-25 molecule was found to be structurally very similar to the serotonin molecule, so much so that it is able to antagonise or block the actions of serotonin in the brain by occupying the receptor sites where serotonin normally acts. Gaddum of Edinburgh University discovered that the alterations in consciousness induced by LSD-25 are not due to a direct effect on the brain tissues by that drug, but rather that LSD-25 deprives the brain of serotonin by blocking off its sites of action.

This means that the brain's levels of serotonin are responsible for maintenance of rational thought and that alteration in the concentration of serotonin in the brain, such as induced by LSD-25, are responsible for the unhinging of 'normal reality'.

This means that the brain's levels of serotonin profound for they show that the pineal gland is the physical medium which regulates the chemistry of altered states of consciousness. It also seems that our sexual identity and our state of consciousness are intimately related to one another. It is clear that man is imprisoned in his mundane, everyday state of consciousness. He is locked up far more effectively than the prisoner who is incarcerated in chains or behind bars. Such a prisoner is only experiencing the imprisonment of his body, and he is very aware of his condition. However, the human being is far more effectively bound and tied. His very consciousness is held prisoner. It is so effectively harnessed that he cannot even perceive the possibility of higher awareness and experience. The ropes which prevent his perception of a reality in which he is infinite seem to be the levels of serotonin within his own brain tissues!...”

Another substance that is produced by the pineal gland is the DMT (dimethyltryptamine) a powerful psychotropic substance found naturally in many plants including psychotria or Anadenanthera. It is considered a narcotic in some countries. It provides a hallucinogenic effect and a near death experience in some cases. Indeed, it is present naturally in many plants, some of which are components of preparations craft hallucinogenic brew ayahuasca in Indien shamanic rituals.

This provides hallucinogenic "visions", interpreted as phenomena of clairvoyance and often considered by some Amazonian societies as more real than the world of everyday life.

Some indigenous tribes think that ayahuasca allows to consider a more "solid" reality or "more real" than the one in which we live.

this gland may be related to Ajna Chakra or Sahashra and therefore will join these shamanic practices, which provide access to a state of consciousness that allow us to understand the Reality. Through the practice of meditation, the world gradually reveals itself to us in its purity and in its entire reality.
