I beg your pardon.
No nerves?
The third possibility was that information
about lighting was transmitted
to the pineal by nerves. Fortunately
Arisns Kappers had just identified the
nerve connections of the rat pineal as
coming from the sympathetic nervous
system. We found that if the sympathetic
pathway to the pineal was interrupted
by the removal of the superior
cervical ganglion, the ability of melatonin-forming
activity to be altered by
light was completely lost. Thus it appeared
that light was stimulating the
retina and then information about this
light was being transmitted to the pineal
via sympathetic nerves. Within the
pineal the sympathetic nerves probably
released neurohumors (noradrenaline or
serotonin), which acted on pineal cells
to induce (or block the induction of)
HIONIT; this enzyme in turn regulated
the synthesis of melatonin.

The sympathetic nerves act without conscious awareness because they are not "sensing nerves". So once again you're wrong. It would help you if you actually understood what you read, but you didn't, so you post nonsense. The sympathetic nervous system is of no use to you in determining whether the pineal gland is "activated" or not, so it's of no use to you or other traditionalists with your claims about its function.

When you have actual evidence that the pineal gland functions in the way you've claimed, then you can talk. Until then, it's been established that you have no evidence showing that induced experiences are different from NDEs. You've just got a failed attempt at providing support. For all your evidence can say, NDEs are induced experiences.
