Without our being conscious, our immune system works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to make sure the working of our body/mind unhampered. Our daily life is secured by its regular round-up, but in time of crisis, when some hazard factors sway our body, most of our bodily energy is concentrated to the immune system, to keep our body safe.
If, as we have inferred thus far, the pineal gland is in charge of the function of judging the outside factors and coordinate appropriate responses, there also must be dimensions of the ordinary maintenance and of critical decisions.
Suppose you are moving to another place. What do you do? First, there will be area priority, and then you will need a reliable real estate agent to show you some options. After taking one or more rounds over the options, you need to make the final decision. What makes you to make it?
I don’t think there will be many persons who can articulate what is in his/her mind when making that kind of final, final decision. Most of them will answer, if asked, in vague words like “I like it”, “somehow I feel comfortable”, or “it just fits me.”
However, this kind of vagueness often makes great difference in your life. In the following, you see two pictures which can test your ‘vagueness’. If you had to live in one of these two places, which one would you choose?
Number 1 is a view of a village counted as one of the most prominent Myoengdangs (It is a key word in the East Asian geomancy, meaning a good place for your life in this world or after death.) Number 2 shows the area notorious through the media publication for the misfortune it has brought to its dwellers. The former has a very stable pattern of terrestrial electricity typical of old alluvium. The latter, with its protruding rocks containing metallic components, is very likely to have disrupted pattern of terrestrial electricity.
If you feel the difference between these 2 pictures clearly, and, better, prefer No.1, you can be safely said to have the ability to judge over the invisible factors intact.
In many societies, throughout ages, the importance of ‘good place’ has been emphasized. From the bible to more recent documents, we can find scenes in which heroes are trying to find out ‘good places’ for new and large-scale projects‘.
It is very wise of them to do so. As our body/mind is a complicated and delicate structure with constant exchange of electrical and chemical signals, it is very likely to be affected by the wave patterns coming from the outside environment, thereby being reinforced or disrupted and weakened.
The popular word of ‘well-being’ literally means being well. If our body/mind is to be well, one of the things with top priority should be to find a good place where we can be well. And all of us can be assumed to have the ability to find such places, which the pineal gland in our brain is assumed to take charge of.
Expressions like ‘be assumed to’ may fail to deliver enough confidence in talking about this ‘unseen’ ‘workings of the pineal gland’ things. But this is not a matter of confidence but of consensus. Most of the experts on the related field do not seem to know or care about this apparently very important topic. Performance of the current life science does not seem to be very grand in this regard.
Still, I expect more and more attentions to be drawn here, because people in the 21st century will need it. They will need to reach out to domains hitherto practically closed to serious researches, because these will turn out to be meaningful sources of information necessary for our ‘well-being’. State-of-the art technology in such field of dealing with the unseen as ‘brain science’ will help us in this exploration.
