In the teachings of Gnosis we know that there are three types of mind.
The first is the sensual mind.
The second is the intermediate mind.
The third is the interior mind.
The first mind elaborates its concepts with its contents, by way of the data obtained with external sensorial perceptive senses. Therefore, it cannot know anything about ‘that’ which is the Reality.
The second mind is the deposit of religious beliefs.
The third mind functions only with the data of the awakened Consciousness.
Pistis Sophia knows by direct mystical experience. However, she is related only with the interior mind.
Real experience of ‘that’ which is the Truth is only possible with Pistis Sophia.
Nevertheless, the opening of the interior mind and the advent of Sophia is possible only by awakening the Consciousness.
Pistis Sophia is a living experience, manifested as the objective reasoning of the Being.

The Pineal Gland / Third Eye / Ajna Chakra
The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain. It is located near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres, close to the emotional centers.
René Descartes, French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. Dubbed the "Founder of Modern Philosophy" and the "Father of Modern Mathematics and Science," called it the seat of the soul.
It is associated with the sixth chakra, the Ajna chakra or third eye. It is believed by some to be a dormant organ that can be awakened to enable "telepathic" communication.
The Pineal Gland produces a chemical called DMT, N,N-dimethyltryptamine an extremely short-acting but very powerful psychedelic.
Dr Rick Strassman, who in his research gave sixty volunteers nearly 400 doses of DMT, speculated about endogenous DMT's role in dreams, meditation & spiritual experiences, birth, alien entity contact, near-death & death experiences in his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule.
The research by dr Rick Strassman showed it could very well be the entry and exit to this and other worlds, aswell as the collective unconscious.
In the wonderful documentary series Magical Egypt, John Anthony West explains that Rene Schwaller 's work shows ancient Egypt was already well aware of the chakra system aswell, as they built The Temple of Luxor based on it.
I already knew that the Tibetan Buddhist Book of the Dead teaches that it takes 49 days for the soul of the recently dead to "reincarnate." That is, seven weeks from the time of death of one person elapses until the life-force's "rebirth" into its next body. I remember very clearly, several years later, feeling the chill along my spine when, reading my textbook of human fetal development, I discovered this same forty-nineday interval marking two landmark events in human embryo formation. It takes forty-nine days from conception for the first signs of the human pineal to appear. Forty-nine days is also when the fetus differentiates into male or female gender. Thus the soul's rebirth, the pineal, and the sexual organs all require forty-nine days before they manifest.

Exodus3:8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey .
Go to your dictionary and look up the word galactose. You will see that it is brain sugar. In the word galactose you find the word galact, which means milk . You see in the word galactose the word, lactose which means milk sugar. It is the human brain, renewed mind, which is the land flowing with milk and honey. Lactose.

Pineal
Description: Mistress Gland (sofia)
I have always thought and been taught that the pineal is related to the 7th chakra not the 6th. The 6th is related to the Pituitary gland.
Just one example from Google…
Of course for a Spiritual being to have a human experience it must first embody, come to earth. We must be rooted first to truly blossom. True Spirituality is Embodiment. Back to the example of the toddler: In a sense the toddler reaching towards the earth was an illusion. She was in reality deeply grounded and was pushing away from the earth with so much ease (coming from perfect placement) that it gave the impression she was reaching down towards it. She was actually firmly rooted which is what gave her the freedom and trust to explore so fearlessly. The German poet Goethe said, in effect, 'I have seen all wonders, but the greatest among them is a tree, which delves deeply into the earth as it dances in the light and air of the Eternal.'
The Seventh Chakra, the Crown Chakra, also known as the 10th gate, Shashara, or Thousand Petaled Lotus, is located at the top of the head. It corresponds with the soft spot on a newborn's head (anterior fontanel). It is the energetic counterpart to the pineal gland, which begins to calcify and harden as we get caught up in the mundane. According to Yoga, the Crown Chakra closes at age 8 and we then spend the rest of our lives trying to reopen it. It is our connection to the Infinite. If the Chakra system were expressed as a pyramid, the Crown Chakra would be the quartz capstone.
The Crown Chakra relates to the Pineal Gland, which when balanced influences our life rhythms in a positive way. When the pineal gland is balanced the aging process is slowed and mood swings are less extreme. When activated, the Pineal is also said to stimulate certain dormant areas of the brain. These new neural connections expand our world vision and stimulate pathways related to sublime modes of perception. Of course there is a fine line between pure escapism and true transcendence and this is the great lesson of the Seventh Center. It needs the grounding influence of its polarity, the Earth element, to integrate our subtle aspects into the arena of the world.
