PLACING THE PINEAL
Cayce's medical clairvoyance can hardly be disputed
in view of the nearly 9,000 readings given on the physical illnesses of
people - and the subsequent validation of so many of them. However,
clairvoyance takes may forms, and I was fascinated by one that I came across
not too long ago. Do you know, for instance, how the pineal gland
is connected to the brain? I did a good deal of reading before I
came across that little-discussed fact. I don't think I learned it
in medical school at all - in fact. I'm not sure when it was anatomically
discovered. It is highly unlikely that Cayce could ever have had
access to that particular bit of information. In 1928, however, he
gave a reading in which he discussed the pineal as a functioning gland
and pinned down its neural connections. Here's what he said, in part:
"... also that of the pineal gland's connection with the brain forces in
the 1st and 2nd cervical ..." (5691-2)
From the texts, one finds that anatomical studies
have shown that the pineal gland, although lying in close proximity to
the brain, almost surrounded by the brain tissue, has no connection to
the brain except through the superior cervical ganglion of the autonomic
nervous system - the ganglion paralleling the first three cervical segments
of' the spinal cord. It is the little items like this that impress
me most dramatically about Cayce's clairvoyance and his insight into the
human body.
