Toothpaste Harms Third Eye? • Fake News! Awareness Rules! (FW002)

Seriously that fluoride in your toothpaste — it will shut down your third eye? Constipate your pineal gland and sabotage your prospects for ascension? — Look friends, that's all ass-backwards silly. Consciousness is primary and sovereign.
Greetings! What seems to be the eyesore of the day?
— Mr. Wizard, there seem to be legitimate concerns over the calcification of our pineal gland and its impact on our third eye of vision. Please dispel these doubts.
Well look, my good fellow, most of this conspiratorial discourse exists entirely in hypothetical mind-frames. What even is the pineal gland? What even is the third eye? Is the pineal gland indeed even connected with our third eye? That was the take of Madame Blavatsky.
Or is it the seat of the soul — as said Descartes? You know the fellow who coined the phrase "cogito ergo sum". "Je pense donc je suis" — "I am pensive, therefore I exist." How French of him! As if our existence or our soul hinged on the workings of discursive cognition. We'll get back to that.
Then with all thy mind-over-matter philosophies, neuroplasticity what have you, how is it that the calcification of a physical melatonin producing organ should somehow interfere with your spiritual progress and cognitive evolution? It is much the same as declaring, I am so constipated, therefore my Kundalini will never ascend. My endocrine system is out of balance. My twelve cranial nerves have damage. Therefore I am barred from the Kingdom of Heaven.
So you know, it's a good idea to keep your physical systems in good working order, but that is not an obstacle to the workings of your consciousness. Do not, I repeat, do not take your tooth brush with pure herbal organic toothpaste, shove it in your ear to try to scrub your pineal gland clean. If you do that, you might just as well shove it out the other ear and up the frontal cortex for good measure. Blessed and blissful are the lobotomized.
But let's return to "cogito ergo sum" briefly. This discursive directed thought, called vaikhari-shabda in ancient Indian sources, is but the top surface layer of the emanation and emergence of cognitive formations. Underneath that, you have pre-linguistic cognitive abstractions, a more native plane of our brain's interpretive models. Dynamic symbolic objects, yes also with their semantics of interrelation and exchange.
Then we come from structured cognition, the cogito, into the realms of awareness. The presence and experience of the qualia and flavors of phenomena in a more subtle abiding. There you have a deeper fountain, a higher plane of meditation, beyond the constraints of your transactional conceptual mind. The plane of root magnetism and dual composition is a topic for another time.
Then, instead of worrying about the calcification of your pineal gland, or the impact of the fluff in your belly button on your Tan Tien — go into the realms of awareness. Explore the fullness of your conscious being, the blueprint for your physical being. Your incarnate systems will be realigned, the obstacles you face will be dispelled.
Even if your pineal gland has more fluoride than melatonin. Even if you are chronically constipated to the core. The witness plane abides, ever independent and sovereign in the abstract kingdom of heaven. All of these are matters of common sense. Open your vision eye into coherence. All things will be clear. Wizard has left the mortal plane. The resonance of the third eye is ever so loud.
