My opinion is that we relate to God through our God-given spirit. It cannot be through a physical organ (Pineal Gland) as many other mammals also have this gland and the same function of sleep and seasonal rythmns are specific to it in them as well. Besides, if the Lord used a person’s pineal to communicate, what happens to someone who has his removed due to disease, he can’t pray anymore? The science also says this gland is normally calcified by the time we reach adulthood.

In further reading about the “third eye”, as the pineal gland is often referred, it is believed by the New-Agers and other occults to be the way humans can interact with the gods or goddesses. I would stay away from that junk if I were you.

I realize that *New Age* stuff uses biblical and mystical idioms for their beliefs....I am more or less asking if the Scientific and Biblical meanings go hand and hand, which I think they do, sice we are created in the image and likeness of G-D.

I think the Shroud of Turin is what triggers my biblical and spiritual curiosity. If we connect to G-D in the Spiritual it must come to us via somewhere...That is why I asked about the Pineal Gland.
