Pineal adventures

As I was driving home form work I began to fall into a trance. My eyes squinted and sunlight poured into my pineal gland. I felt a change in my perception. Everything was sharp and clear, an endorphin rush flooded my brain. It was as if I had just snorted a gram of coke. Time and space began to melt and then I was at my destination. I looked in the rearview mirror to see two glassy dilated eyes staring back at me. My endocrine system had just been triggered in a way I had not previously experienced.
This must be a result of my kundalini trance work, I thought to myself. What if I can trigger my glandular production, imagine the possibilities. Serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline, growth, metabolism, strength are all of these things really under my conscious control?
So with that I began my experiments. At first I focused my energy on specific glands. It seemed to work, but had unwanted consequences. I could speed up and slow down my perception of time yet it would lead to severe muscle spasms and tics as well as pains in my organs. I realized this was throwing my body out of balance. If I was going to master this I would need to seriously elevate my whole being. As I realized this it began to manifest.
Trances began to occur spontaneously multiple times a day. Not in any way were they debilitating, rather they provided a profound sense of focus and drive. My body was becoming the tool of my consciousness it was always meant to be. The energy would rise up my spine into my upper chakras, then hover in my cranium dissolving the blockages between my crown and frontal lobe. My skull felt as if it was actually transforming, elongating, much like the pictures of the ancient Maya. Sights, smells and sounds became much more pronounced. Other peoples thoughts began to slip into my consciousness when I least expected it. I would pass someone at the store and their whole life would flash before me. It scared my wife at first, she thought it was epilepsy. Yet I was always in exquisite control of my body and remembered more than when in my usual state.
Insights into myself and those around me increased as the energy began to make itself present on a daily basis. Day to day problems began to dissolve as focus and passion poured down through my body. The ancient saying in’ lakech, I am another yourself, was becoming my reality. Yet I still bounce back and forth. Occasionally environmental stress overwhelms me and the flow stops, only to pick up again as soon as I remember to breathe.

It's a site that discusses and explains the process of "clicking the amygdala forward".

Spunkid, a number of questions are thrown up by your experiences:

* How does time perception actually work? Is it something that is flexible? RE: Clock-stopping games I'm sure a lot of us have played when stoned- looking at a clock suddenly to make the second hand hang for what seems like too long before ticking on to the next second.

* Can we radically alter our brain chemistry without the use of drugs? In much the same way as some people being able to wiggle their ears, can some people "wiggle their glands" (oo-er)? Can you teach people who can't wiggle their ears to do so? If so, what mechanism controls this? What implications does this have?

* Is it necessarily to frame changes in perception in terms of changes in brain chemistry at all?

This 'popping of the frontal lobes' does work. It's possible to make yourself sick, or at least slightly nauseous by overdoing it though. Your limbic system doesn't really like abrupt shifts in blood flow.

If you want to make it stable however, it's critical to modify your lifestyle to take any altered states into account with your behavior. If you don't, it'll always be a curiosity, not a permanent shift.

Has anyone actually read Slade's works? I'm immediately leary of a self proclaimed transcendental super-genius who can't design html any better than the timecube guy. Man, his site is a pain to sift through.
