Near the center of the brain lies a tiny pine cone-shaped gland, known as the pineal gland. We know that this gland produces serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that regulate waking and sleeping cycles, as well as playing a crucial role in mood.
But science is discovering that it may also be true that the pineal gland produces DMT or dimethyltryptamine, a neurotransmitter that creates a natural psychedelic state of consciousness. If so, then this little gland plays not only a crucial role in our psychological well-being, but it may hold the key for unlocking the true potential of humanity.
