Effects of Dark Retreat

D.O.

You might have seen this already. Just in case anyone else is interested in the effects of sustained exposure(12 days) to darkness as a form of "technology" of spiritual experience.

‘Melatonin Stage’ (Day 1 to 3)
Complete isolation from external light causes the pineal gland to
flood the brain with the neurotransmitter melatonin (average 2 to 5
mg/day), manifesting initially as the need for sleep and rest. The
eyes recuperate from the over-stimulation of the visual world, releasing
the grip of mental concerns, plans, agendas, and letting the
energies settle. Melatonin is essential for maintaining the hibernation
state, which facilitates the emergence of spiritual consciousness.
The person retains a child-like biological condition where
melatonin is conserved and recycled, not wasted in biological continuation.
When this substance works together with the yellow marrow
in the bone, the reddish firing reaction will activate a gentle
interaction between the sacred water and the light. The sacred
waters are the inner fluids that are responsible for producing bone
marrow and other bodily fluids. The waters run not only in the center
of the bones, but also in the spinal connections between the
Crown and Perineum Points.
‘Pinoline Stage’ (Day 3 to 5)
After about three days, when melatonin concentration reaches
sufficient levels (15 to 20 mg) the body then begins to produce the
superconductor pinoline, whereby a greater fluidity of thought and
healing of the body starts to occur. Pinoline induces cell replication
(mitosis) and intercalates with DNA molecules. The ‘pinoline stage’
is normally activated only in the womb, in lucid dreaming, or in near
death experiences. Within this state we can metaprogram the brain
to the Unity of Self, heightening awareness of the pathways with
which we filter reality. At this stage, the nervous system becomes
aware of itself. We become aware of the hologram of the external
world that we create constantly in our head24.

When the pinoline is triggered you activate your clairsentient and
clairaudient powers. You may see light and visions, hear music, and
gain phenomenal insight. A decoding of the DNA then begins to
take place. Cosmic particles are attracted to us and decoded in the
form of sound, light, knowledge and realization. The particles, which
have the same cell structures as humans (and from which the Tao
believes you evolved), are attracted to you magnetically. The body
has approximately six trillion cells, which correspond to the universe
‘without’. Each of these cells can be seen as a computer with unlimited
power and potential. Each cell can become a super conductor, able
to receive information from space. You are able to decode this
universal information carried from outer space, which may be as old
as nothingness itself. When you enter this primordial state or force
you are reunited with the true self and divinity within. You literally
‘conduct’ the universal energy. You may see into the past and future,
understand the true meaning of existence, and begin to understand
the order of things. You return to the womb, the cocoon of our
material structure and Nature’s original Darkness.
‘5-MeO-DMT Stage’ (Day 6 to
At this stage the pineal gland starts to produce the neuro-hormone
5-MeO-DMT (aka ‘akashon’). This psychoactive tryptamine is highly
luminescent and also extremely phosphorescent due to the amount
of phosphene that it transmits onto the visual cortex. 5-MeO-DMT
switches on 40% more of the cerebral cortex and awakens the nervous
system to become aware of itself; ‘beingness’ results. Hence,
the possibility of metaprogramming the nervous system’s bio-computer
- activating healing and conflict message assortment of the
nervous system. 5-MeO-DMT is the empathogenic neurotransmitter
that expands the emotional body between ‘infinity and zero’. It gives
rise to telepathy in the emotional and intuitive bodies. It engages the
awakening of the ‘Flower of Life’, the spine, which begins to glow in
a state of beingness and peace.

5-Meo-DMT discharges the Darkness from the Darkness. A bright
light is activated and one experiences a born-again mentality. This
Great White Light, the manifestation of the astral body, enables the
self to project externally. At this point, some degree of ‘N-Methyl-DAspartare
Inhibition’ (NMDA-I) usually occurs. This is a ‘soft form’ of
the slowing of the glutamate input signals into the cells. This makes
it easier for the nervous system to cause electrons to stop flowing
within the cells, allowing for profound meditative trance states. 5-
MeO-DMT intercalates with messenger RNA. One can see in 3 dimensional
Holon pictures, as the thoughts behind language.
“Techniques taught in the Darkness enable one to read and go
beyond the matrix, by unifying all directions, and externalize the soul
computer so that one can start to interact with ones own genetic
code of the Tree of Life. In this intensive process 5-MeO-DMT activates
the entire spine, the Tree of Life. The spine is activated and
reprogrammed and you can start to process the illusion of the dream
from its binary code into the unified translated Self: the Unity Self.
Through 14 days of total light isolation your consciousness can be
expanded to the wider range of wave emanations and transduce the
core hologram of reality that is coherently programming ones nervous
system to the Unity Self25.”
Many exercises will be practiced during this period: compacting
Chi, consciousness and awareness into the nervous system, working
with the Silent Self and anchoring the Immortal Body.
The 5-MeO-DMT prepares the nervous system, through its
empathetic state of being and self awareness of the nervous system,
for the DMT or dimethyltryptamine production of the pineal gland, in
psychoactive milligram doses.

‘DMT Stage’ (Day 9 to 12)
When DMT levels reach more than 25 mg, one’s experience can
become very visual. DMT is the visual Third Eye neurotransmitter. It
enables the energy body and spirit to journey into hyperspace, beyond
third dimensional realms of time and space. It is intensely energizing.
“After some 10-12 days one starts to see in infrared, and
ultraviolet, one can actually run across the room and touch a person,
by seeing their heat patterns. The Holon Images exteriorize
and one is walking in a Virtual Reality, which appears to be the DNA
language macro uploaded, and interactive.”
When you reach the ‘DMT state’ you begin to function consciously
from the various psychic centers or chakras. The bodily processes
of Healing Love are then combined with those of the Darkness. The
human states of true compassion and sexual arousal create a new
chemistry and a new vibration within the body. This ‘special’ vibration
occurs at a frequency of 8Hz. ‘As in the macrocosm, so it is in
the microcosm’; hence if we make love, then all the cells and DNA
actually make love as well. The DNA crosses over, like two serpents
intertwining in an erotic embrace. You need the orgasmic vibration
to arouse this crossover process which leads to the ‘two giving birth
to three’; the conception of new cells. The two vital states are compassion
and arousal leading to orgasm. Both are inextricably linked
to love. When this ‘love-vibration’ reaches the pineal gland a new
hormone is produced, which in turn creates whole body conductivity.
Only when you feel the waves of orgasmic vibration and unconditional
love for the self and others can the process be activated and
the essence of the Darkness is magnified.
At this stage of the Darkness retreat, the required amount of sleep
tends to diminish dramatically. Although the day may last 24 hours,
3 hours of sleep can seem like 12. During this period we will engage
in further practices; psychic games and interactivity, Taoist
Dream Yoga (advanced levels) and Imagination Expansion
