-Caveat Lector- So they call it Christmas Blues ???? Have always wondered about lack of sunshine in these new buildings - for instance in this one State Officer Town the windows which are many are in hallways, or in offices of administrative directors, etc - and the the continuity in government, the Civil Service sit in center in these horrible alcoves which I would find impossible to use, with those awful lights that add 10 years to you? And then the air is recycled.....this one floor many people were dying from cancer, etc., and the day I visited this floor - they were tearing cable out of the floors and or ceilings? Is this what turned Michael Jackson pasty white? Like warmed over death? Is this secret to cattle butchered out west maybae after something more than just - well tadpoles were once put into a tank of pineal glands taken from cows, etc., and they turned colorless - almost clear......this is effect of melatonin, etc. If kids were to get back into bright sunny classrooms - would they need to take the neurotransmitter pills they would now force of them? I wonder during a lobotomy, is the pineal glad which looks like pine acorn - is this removed too - this is where the Indian Psychics sometimes go through ritual to activate what is called this Third Eye....with some people this eye opens naturally? Like Octupus - maybe like eye in back of head opening doors of perception but drugs enhances this mystery of mysteries? So John Glenn on his last space trip was to be experiment with melatonin - suddenly before he went, it was dumped - anything I hate are these fluoroescent lights - in fact, I am somewhat allergic to them..... So the shorter the days get, the more depressed one gets? Maybe we need light bults like sunshine again to brighten the spirits? All those cattle being butchered - wonder if someone has not already got the contracts for this myserious pineal gland - which can remove pigmentatioan of skin? So under subject if you pull this up more information of pineal gland - now if Gore was on some of this stuff which I think he and Clinton both indulged in some of these "doors of perception being opened" well the Oracle would say yes you will win election....so like phoney prophets always leave door open and motor running......some call this propaganda......others call it oracle - soothsaying? But drugs do play tricks - and a dream come true - a nightmare?

Long considered vestigial in humans, the structure, which is also called the pineal body or the epiphysis, is present in most vertebrates. It is sensitive to different levels of light and is essential to the functioning of an animal's biological clock. In many animals, including humans, the pineal gland synthesizes a hormone called melatonin in periods of darkness. Melatonin synthesis is halted when light hits the retina of the eye, sending impulses to the gland via the optic nerve. Besides influencing daily, or circadian, rhythms such those of as sleep and temperature, the pineal gland and melatonin appear to direct annual rhythms and seasonal changes in animals. The pineal gland and melatonin are now being studied for their roles in sleep, reproduction, aging, and seasonal affective disorder. In humans the pineal gland begins to produce melatonin at age 3 months; production falls steadily from puberty on. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
