I was reading up on the pineal gland. This is a pea size gland in the very center of the brain. Its function deals with light and darkness and vision. The hormones this gland secretes is called MELATONINE.
This gland also has mystical attachments to it. Many people believe that it is the "third eye" the window to the spiritual world. Interestingly enough, to get working, it uses its melatonine when the body needs to relax ....or supposedly when one is in meditation mode.
Hmmmmm...Now, melatonine is also what causes pigmentation. The melanin in the skins comes from there.
Hmmmm...just thinking out loud here, but if the chemical melatonine is what's used to tap into the spiritual world -the the pineal gland is full of it- what of the melatonine made melanin that all over someone's body?
Could that be the ultimate satellite to the spiritual world?
This reminds me of a study done by Rabbi Akiva Tatz, from his book Anatomy of a Search. From his studies, he mapped out that South African Jews, British, etc Jewish Baalei Teshuvahs -returnees to the faith- had a hard time "just accepting" the existence of God. Much logic and reasoning had to be put forth, etc. Whereas for Sephardic Jews (many of which are darker skinned) it didn't take much for them to start living more religiously than before. Could that be because something was unknowingly tapped into or awaken via that satellite?
This also reminds me of a true story of a religious Jew who expressed to his rabbi his interest in kabbalah. The rabbi then told him that its better for him to marry a Sephardi girl. Wassup with that? (Just joking, but was he marrying a woman or just getting a bigger antenae for his Torah studies?)
(This is NOT to say that someone who is white can not tap into a gut knowledge of God. Everyone has melatonine in their system, everyone has a pineal gland, etc etc etc)
