Re: The Pineal and its role in Spirituality

In my research meanderings I once found an article, perhaps in the NY Times Science Times, that research on this part of the brain indicated that the pineal complex, along with a related area known as the superchiasmic nucleus, not only did indeed involve visualization capabilities, but also had a role in determining levels of sexual activity and overall sexual orientation.

My recollection is that the pineal areas of active homosexuals were larger and more active in signal traffic than those of active heterosexuals. I don't know what difference that might make to anyone here, but I thought it to be worth bringing up in our discussions.

Visualization ability also has much to do with the creative abilities and processes that humans possess and exhibit to varying degrees in their activities. While it's dangerous to draw general conclusions from seemingly unrelated knowledge, this might explain the acknowledged proficiencies of many homosexuals in the arts.
