Are All Human Beings Psychic?
Clairvoyance may be dismissed as the domain of edge-dwellers and hippy spiritualism, but there is a growing group of scientists who are theorising that a certain level of psychic ability is hard-wired into the human brain.
The Third Eye isn’t just a chakra-based image, or a conspiracy theory symbol on the US dollar bill. It’s actually a real gland in the center of your brain. Called the pineal gland (because it’s shaped like a pine cone), this Third Eye has many of the same parts and functions as the two eyes you are used to having.
The pineal gland is sensitive to light and moves in the same way that your other two eyes do. Interestingly, it will occasionally move in exactly the same way as your other two eyes, at exactly the same time, to follow movement.
While the pineal gland is predominantly there to produce melatonin (the hormone that regulates circadian rhythm and sleep patterns), researchers are beginning to believe that for thousands of years it has served something of a higher purpose.
Other animals and mammals have had this gland too, and while most fossils do not leave soft tissue, there have been just enough examples to make the Lab Coats speculate that the pineal gland is actually part of a global interconnectedness network that ‘hooks us up’ to all living things around us.
Although it’s pretty difficult to reproduce the kinds of situations that are typically seen as precursors to psychic episodes (big events just about to occur and so on), research is beginning to show some weird acitivy in the pineal gland during a psychic-style situation. For instance, if a person with pronounced psychic abilities is in one location, and someone else is in another location, when the second person tries to ‘send a mental message’ to the psychic, both of them display hyperactivity in the pineal gland. This even gets to the point where the pineal gland will rotate, like an eye, to turn towards the direction of the other person. Even when they are hundreds of kilometres apart.
People who display well-documented psychic abilities also display pronounced growth or activity in the pineal gland. This supports the long-held idea that psychic parents may pass on their abilities to their children, genetically.
Children’s pineal gland are often significantly more active than adults. This is perhaps due to their less rigid understanding of the world and also their sexual abstinence (for some reason, lack of sexual activity produces a stronger pineal gland, which may explain the typical shaman practice of celibacy). During Zener Card Tests (where particular patterns are attempted to be guessed), children whose pineal gland are particularly active score up to sixty per cent accuracy. The accuracy rate for pure guessing is twenty per cent.
Birds and rodents have shown unusually well-coordinated activities when their pineal glands are active. Moving as one, suddenly and spontaneously being able to solve maze-style problems as soon as their counterpart has figured it out, and a variety of other behaviours (often when hundreds of kilometres apart) have also led researchers to at least allow for the possibility of an evolutionary and biological explanation for psychic ability. Kind of explains the way you know your mother is just about to call you, doesn’t it?
Renting apartments in Lisbon doesn’t require psychic powers – it’s as simple as a few clicks of the mouse.
