To summarise 2,500 years of thinking into 2 sentences: The History Greek and especially Socratic ideas were passed on to the early Christian Church and thereafter both strongly influenced the development of Western thinking and value systems. Meanwhile in the East, Chinese and Indian philosophy created a slightly different way of seeing life. Subtle Difference These differences are often overemphasised.

Third eye

In some traditions such as Hinduism, the third eye is said to be located around the middle of the forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows. In other traditions, as in Theosophy, it is believed to be connected with the pineal gland. According to this theory, humans had in far ancient times an actual third eye in the back of the head with a physical and spiritual function. Over time, as humans evolved, this eye atrophied and sunk into what today is known as the pineal gland.[3] Dr. Rick Strassman has theorized that the pineal gland, which maintains light sensitivity, is responsible for the production and release of DMT (dimethyltryptamine), an entheogen which he believes possibly could be excreted in large quantities at the moments of birth and death.[5] Trekking in Nepal,Everest Trekking,Nepal Trekking,Annapurna Trek,Trek Nepal,Trekking in Himalaya,Trekking company in nepal,Nepal trekking informations.
