Why White People Don’t Know How To Feel: The Psychological Implications of the Pineal Gland

The Pineal Gland also called the “third eye” is a small endocrine gland in the brain. In fact, it was the last endocrine organ to be discovered. Many don’t know the importance of the pineal gland or even what it means. Some even find the organ to be mysterious because of how it functions within the brain. The pineal gland received its nick name the “third eye” due to various reasons. One of the reasons is because the pineal gland is located deep in the center of the brain to have a connection of light, shaped as a pinecone. The pineal gland is responsible for the production of melatonin which is a single hormone. The secretion of melatonin is controlled by light. Ultimately, this helps to maintain circadian rhythm and regulate reproductive hormones. 

The circadian rhythm is a 24-hour biological cycle characterized by sleep patterns. Daylight and darkness help dictate your circadian rhythm. When the pineal gland is exposed to light, it stops the release of melatonin, which then helps to control your circadian rhythms. The secretion of melatonin is low during the daylight hours and much higher during dark time periods. The length of day versus night affects sleep patterns, however; melatonin’s substantial impact over sleep patterns is disrupted. Melatonin’s task is to block the secretion of gonadotropins, which is the luteinizing and the follicle stimulating hormone; from reaching the anterior gland. These are the hormones that assist in the proper development and functioning of the ovaries and testes.  

The pineal gland affects our brain’s ability to function, perception, memory, etc. It also assists in our daily routines and give a sense of direction. There have been racial differences in correlation of the pineal gland. In Caucasians, approximately 50% of adults have calcified pineal in their skull after reaching the age of 40 years old. Some believe that Caucasians generally have rates of pineal gland calcification as high as 60-80%. Researchers found that there was twice as much calcified pineal in White Americans than in African Americans in the same city. This increased their suspicion of the racial difference in the pineal gland. This is when Black people of excellence began to question the European approach of logic, erect, rigid, anti-feeling posture reflects the left side of the brain. It also reflects that they lack the chemical of melatonin to switch on their unconscious, nonetheless; they cannot access their feelings.  

Melanin gives African Americans substantial physical, mental, and spiritual ability. Melanin processes the nervous system in such a different way that the brain reaches other areas of the body quicker in Black people. Children of color are more active and perform tasks such as sitting, standing, crawling, and walking much sooner than children that are of a European demographic. Black children also demonstrate having more advanced cognitive skills simply because of their increased amount of Melanin. Melanin is the hormone that controls the way you mentally process things. This is why African Americans are more likely to excel in athletics and dancing. The drastic effect of melanin is the reason that all major founders of great religions are Black themselves. Melanin is the neuro-chemical recipe for what black people like to call having soul.  

The original man was Black, made in the image of God. Children of color look like their parents, while white children don’t often look like their parents’ due dilution. Africans viewed the Europeans as a child of God, but Europeans viewed Africans as soulless savages all because of Melatonin. Research proves that most Whites are not able to produce as much melatonin as Blacks because their pineal glands are consistently calcified and nonfunctioning. Nonetheless, this means they don’t know how to feel. Melanin is what gives human the ability to feel considering it is the common factor of all frequencies of energy. Melanin explains why it is important to understand God and all energy. Overall, the scientific evidence of melanin threatens the ideology of white supremacy which is why they fear genetic violation. Hatred is nothing but fear that is disguised.
