I want to talk just briefly about this #third #eye center business because it turns out to be pretty interesting. The #thirdeye is actually a name that's been given to another neural structure, where I should say, structure because it's not strictly neural and that's the #pineal #gland. And this has an interesting history, I promise i'm not taking off on a tangent here that isn't relevant to #meditation.
So you have a #brain of course, and on both sides of your brain you tend to have mirror symmetric representations of the same things. What do I mean by that? Well, you have a prefrontal cortex on the right, you have a prefrontal cortex on the left and they actually do slightly different things. Languages sometimes lateral eyes to one side, but in general for every structure that you have on one side of the brain you have the same structure on the opposite side of the brain. There's one clear exception to that and that's the #pinealgland. The pineal gland is the gland that makes #melatonin, which at night, when it gets dark, secretes melatonin and the melatonin makes you sleepy, helps you fall asleep but not stay asleep. Descartes right, The philosopher #Descartes asserted that the pineal was the seat of the soul because it was the one structure in the brain that he saw was not on both sides of the brain, it was only one of them and in the middle.
