Quote:pocaracas..............I don't know about the other people, but you seem convinced of something which isn't there.
Yoga is the oldest science dating 7000 years back so is natural that you do not know other people.
I also do not know people who live 7000 years ago at the time of Shiva but i know people who live today that practice yoga and i know that this is the same yoga practiced 7000 years ago.
Quote:A gland responsible for "the connection to the spiritual dimension"...
Tell me what is this "spiritual dimension"?
You think of something.
In your imagination you may create an elephant eating something.
The elephant is an imagination of your mind. Is not real but it takes life in your imagination.
When you withdraw from your imagination that reality that reality come back in your mind.
Spirituality is when the physical reality go back to the reality of the thinker.
The thinker transform his-her wave thought in space-air-light-water-solid and here we have the universe.
The solid matter then travel the opposite direction in order to go back to the thinker mind.
So after the creation we have the evolution that allow the fundamental factors to go back to the thinker (God).
Uranium is among the older matter and the energy in it want to escape in order to evolve in something more sophisticate.
It will turn in different form of energy and then will follow the scale of evolution (plant, animal, human) until will merge in the cosmic mind.
So spirituality is the effort of going back were we really belong.
Quote:How does the gland work that enables such a connection?
The pineal gland is where the cosmic consciousness is.
In order to bring our consciousness up to that point we must give up our physical-material propensity.
In other words we should realize that this body and mind are vehicles that help to go ahead not our real I.
