What is reality?

In the beginning, there was nothing... at least that's what I was told.

Where do I begin.... or better yet, where did I come from?

Who am I?
My entire life I was told one thing yet all the historical facts and scientific proof points elsewhere.  What I have personally uncovered is that the 'truth' does not point up to the heavens rather past the heavens into the deep darkness of outer space.

Crazy.
That's what I would have told you several months ago. I would tell you to take a vacation, stop smoking weed and get back to reality.

What is reality?
When I in my deepest REM dream state, my dream IS my reality.  What I see and feel and touch IS my reality at that time.  It is so real that when I wake up, it takes a few seconds to realize that I am now in my waking reality.

The Brain.
Scientists claim that we use approximately 25% of our brain.  There is one little teeny tiny gland is called the 'pineal gland' and is physically right smack in the middle of your brain, right in between your left and right hemispheres and directly behind your 'physical' eyes.  I say 'physical' because we actually have 3 eyes, crazy right?  This gland, also called 'the seat of the soul' has been scientifically linked to be the connection between our physical and the metaphysical world.  What does that mean?

Pineal Gland.
This little pinecone shaped gland, no larger than a grain of rice, has the very important function of secreting either Seratonin or Melatonin; Seratonin is secreted when light is present and Melatonin when in complete darkness.  What this means is that when you are awake and light comes through your eyes into the region of the pineal gland, it secretes Seratonin or the 'happy' feeling. In darkness, the gland secretes Melatonin which is converted into a drug called DMT.  This 'shaman' drug has been linked to enlightenment, increased perception, bliss, etc.  There's plenty more information about this gland online so feel free to perform your own research and discoveries.

Blah, blah, blah... what is my point?
At night, your pineal gland secretes Melatonin and you are off to dream-land that you (can) fully control through practice of lucid dreaming.  During the day, your pineal gland secretes Seratonin and you are here in 'reality' that you go along with as best as you can.  If we can learn by practice to control our dream state, can we also practice and learn to control reality?

This is where it REALLY begins.  I will document my experiences as I journey deep in my mind and explore the unknown that is within each and every one of us.  We seek elsewhere for answers yet we fail to seek within ourselves first.

Welcome to my awakening.
