It is located in the geometric center of the brain. This correlates to the location of the Great Pyramid in the center of the physical planet.
它位于人脑的几何中心。这和在物理行星中心的大金字塔的位置有相互关系。

The Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland which lies a little behind the root of the nose. It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle.
松果体大约豌豆大小,在脑中心，在位于鼻根后部的脑垂体后上方的小凹洞里。它直接位于眼睛的后面,紧邻第三脑室。

The true function of this mysterious gland has long been contemplated by philosophers and Spiritual Adepts. Ancient Greeks`believed the pineal gland to be our connection to the Realms of Thought. Descartes called it the Seat of the Soul. This gland is activated by Light, and it controls the various`biorhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland which directs the body's thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock that determines our aging process.

这个神秘的腺体真正的功能长久以来被哲学家和精神上的擅长者所关注。古希腊人相信松果体连接我们的思想领域。笛卡儿(法国哲学家、数学家,1596-1690)称它为灵魂的所在地。这个腺体对光敏感,而且它支配身体的各种不同的人体生理功能节律失调。它与视丘脑下部腺体协同工作，视丘脑下部腺体主管身体的口渴，饥饿，性欲和决定我们的老化程序的生物时钟。

When the pineal gland awakens one feels a pressure at the base of the brain. This pressure will often be experienced when connecting to higher frequency. A head injury can also activate the Third Eye - Pineal Gland.
当松果体一旦唤醒，脑的底部就有压力感。当连接到更高频率的时候,将会时常感觉到压力。头受伤也能刺激第三只眼睛- 松果体。

While the physiological function of the pineal gland has`been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools have long known this area in the middle of the brain to be the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds. Considered the most powerful and highest source of ethereal energy available to humans, the pineal gland has always`been important in initiating supernatural powers. Development of psychic talents has`been closely associated with this organ of higher vision.
虽然松果体生理机能直到最近时期才揭晓，神秘传统和秘教学校已经知道脑中央的这个区域，它是物质和精神世界之间的连接。被看作是对人可用的天上能量的最有力的和最高的来源,松果体在开始超自然能力方面总是很重要的。灵性的提升与这个更高级视觉器官紧密相联系。

The third eye can see beyond the physical, as is looks out through the chakrasystem when we meditate or look for answers from higher frequencies
第三只眼睛能看见高于物质的东西。当我们冥想或找寻来自比较高的频率答案的时候， 通过chakra能量轮系统就可以知晓。

The pineal gland contains a complete map of the visual field of the eyes, and it plays several significant roles in human functioning.
松果体包含了眼睛视野里的一张完全的地图，而且它扮演人体机能好几个重要角色。

There is a pathway from the retinas to the hypothalamus called the retinohypothalamic tract. It brings information about light and dark cycles to a region of the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus(SCN). From the SCN, nerve impulses travel via the pineal nerve (sympathetic nervous system) to the pineal gland. These impulses inhibit the production of melatonin. When these impulses stop (at night, when light no longer stimulates the hypothalamus), pineal inhibition ceases and melatonin is released. The pineal gland is therefore a photosensitive organ and an important timekeeper for the human body.
从视网膜到称为retinohypothalamic地方视丘脑下部有一通路。它传递有关光和黑暗的电波信息,信息由来自SCN叫做suprachiasmatic 核心(SCN)视丘脑下部区域产生。神经电脉冲经由松果体神经(交感神经系统)传递到松果体。这些电脉冲抑制了]褪黑激素的分泌。当这些电脉冲停止下来(在晚上,当光不再刺激视丘脑下部),松果体抑制停止就释放褪黑激素的时候。因此松果体是人身体一个感光性器官和一个重要的时钟。

Retinal research done with hamsters demonstrates another center for melatonin production. Located in the retina, this center implies that the eyes have their own built in circadian timepiece. This retinal system is distinct from the brains`body clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Biologists found that they could throw the retinal rhythms out of sync with other circadian cycles. They also found that they could set and reset the retinal clock even when the SCN was destroyed.
对老鼠的视网膜研究证明了褪黑激素分泌的另外一个中心。位于视网膜里,该中心暗示眼睛有它们自己的生理节奏时钟构造。这个视网膜系统明显不同于大脑里的 suprachiasmatic核心(SCN)。生物学家发现它们可以独立于其它同步创造性时间周期的存在。生物学家也发现即使当SCN 被破坏时它们可以设定并且重新设定视网膜的时钟。

The retinal clock produces (stimulates the production of?) melatonin. Researchers are now looking for the exact location (s) of this clock in the human eye (and expect to find it). No one yet knows what the separate clock is for or how it relates to the SCN.
视网膜时钟制造(产生刺激?)褪黑激素。研究员现在正在人类的眼睛中找寻这个时钟的精确位置(s)(而且希望找到它)。仍没有人知道分开的时钟是什么或它如何与SCN发生关系。

In some lower vertebrates the Epiphysis Cerebri - Pineal Gland - has a well-developed eye-like structure; in others though not organized as an eye, if functions as a light receptor. In lower vertebrates, the pineal gland has an eye like structure and it functions as a light receptor and is considered by some to be the evolutionary forerunner of the modern eye.
在一些较低等脊椎动物Epiphysis Cerebri- 松果体–具有像眼睛一样发育很好的结构；有些虽然不成形为眼睛,即使是作为光的受体。在较低等脊椎动物里，松果体有一个类似眼睛的结构而它的功能如同光的受体,一些人认为是现代眼睛进化早期的样子。

The gland weighs little more than 0.1 gram. The gland is large in children and begins to shrink with the onset of puberty.
松果体重量不超过0.1克。松果体在孩童时期个头大,并且随着青春期的到来开始收缩。（这可以解释小孩“第三只眼”比成人更好的原因？）

The pineal gland is large in children, but shrinks at puberty. It appears to play a major role in sexual development, hibernation in animals, metabolism, and seasonal breeding. In humans it affects circadian rhythms, sleep patterns (melatonin levels increase at night), and is implicated in seasonal affective disorder. The abundant melatonin levels in children is`believed to inhibit sexual development. When puberty arrives, melatonin production is reduced.
松果体在孩童时期个头大,但是在青春期收缩。它似乎在性发育、动物冬眠、新陈代谢和季节更迭中扮演着一个主要角色。它影响人的生理时钟节奏,睡眠模式(褪黑激素水平在晚上增加),而暗示着周期性的情感紊乱。孩童时期过多的褪黑激素水平被认为抑制了性的发育。当青春期到来的时候,褪黑激素的分泌减少了。
