B. She's just assuming about 90% of these supposed "facts".
btw, if fluoride is the cause of calcification of the pineal gland, which is what's needed to "astral project", then why don't we seem to have any evidence of a decreased calcification of the pineal gland , or an increase of reports of "astral projection" coming out of places like Europe, where the majority of water supplies aren't fluoridated, compared to places where they are, like in the majority of the US??
How about: because this is nonsense. It seems "astral projection" is a mind-hack that can be induced by disrupting the temporal lobes, else having a natural propensity for this, perhaps due to epilepsy in that region of the brain.

There is most definitely a logical explanation, and I've said it over and over again.
Yes, I've had "astral projection" experiences since a child. I've also had premonitions, lucid dreams, dreams within dreams within dreams, and a lot of other bizarre experiences.
It's just a mind hack. You can induce the state with magnets over the temporal lobe, or by focusing on being above the body. Often times people get them when they're extremely sleep deprived and a region of their brain starts to enter a dream state while others are still focused on this temporal region.
It makes absolute sense. The mind is constantly trying to pattern match as is best. It guesses the center of our sight, when in reality we can't see in the exact center. Stay perfectly still. You'll experience this.
It's the same damned thing here. We start to doze off, yet have a focus on the here and now. Our minds scramble and project images of our previous location and impose it onto our conscious awareness as reality.
Just apply this to any situation you've heard of regarding "astral projection", in conjunction with the fact that our subconscious stores MUCH more information than we're consciously aware of.
So a person will hear while they are "sleeping", and recall people and objects from all over the area before they were sleeping, along with subconscious cues for objects that weren't even in visible sight....like playing poker...people pick up on stuff intuitively that seems to defy reason, except it doesn't.
So someone is in surgery, remembers seeing the doctor and nurse, and the mind reconstructs the setting, and starts pattern matching the most likely images of what's occurring based on everything else that is being experienced...the sounds, the smell, etc...
This is all a huge, "duh" !! to me.
The calcification of the Pineal gland also has a gift. We will show you where medical science has not found calcite crystals in these calcium deposits. Crystal Radio For many years now the group has been saying that We are Becoming Crystal. Medical science has now even coined a word for it "Biomineralization". The most important discovery is that these calcite crystals have something called 'piezoelectric properties'. This means that they can send and receive electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). Piezoelectric crystals are the same crystals used in the original crystal radios and they can send and receive radio frequencies. The group says when they are activated it will be like being fitted with a new antenna improving telecommunication between humans and especially your communication with your own higher self. It will also open up your own awareness of your multidimensional reality.
Dr. Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England (1997) has found that calcified pineal glands contain a huge concentration of fluoride: "In terms of mineralized tissue, the mean fluoride concentration in the pineal calcification was equivalent to that in severely fluorosed bone and more than four times higher than in corresponding bone ash, i.e., 8,900 ± 7,700 vs. 2,040 ± 1,100 mg/kg, respectively. The calcification in two of the 11 pineals analysed in this study contained extremely high levels of fluoride: 21,800 and 20,500 mg/kg." Fluoride and the Pineal Gland. As well as the hard tissue build-up, the aged pineal also contains more fluoride than any other soft tissue. However, in her later 2001 study, Luke says that "The high fluoride levels in the pineal are presumably due to the large surface area of the HA crystallites both intra- and extracellularly....There was no correlation between pineal fluoride and bone fluoride. Therefore, unlike bone, pineal fluoride concentrations are not indicators of long-term fluoride exposure and body burden. Pineal fluoride, however, was significant." She concluded that the fluoride buildup in the pineal may affect melatonin synthesis, but it still had to be proved. See Fluoride Deposition in the Aged Human Pineal Gland. There IS some evidence presented here: Pineal calcification and sleep disturbances. .... Here is a study that seems to contradict it, but then states that " an increased calcification of the pineal gland represents a decrease in the number of functioning pinealocytes, which results in a decreased ability of the pineal gland to produce melatonin." see studies: Kunz 1999; Mahlberg 2009 for calcification causing reduction in melatonin production.
Studies have revealed that there are TWO types of calcium in the pineal gland - the one about which most studies have been done is hydroxyapatite, or brain sand. However, it has just been found that there is another type - a recent development - calcite crystals. Calcite crystals found in the inner ear - octoconia; - have already been studied and found to be piezoelectric - in other words, they produce an electric charge when pressure is applied to them ...and the "reverse piezolectrial effect"...when an external electical field is applied, they will change shape slightly. It is very likely that the pineal calcite crystals are also piezoelectric, according to the 2002 study. New Crystal in the Pineal Gland. One effect is that external fields could, via the resulting change of crystal shape, change pineal output and melatonin production, through "electromecano-transduction on the pinealocyte membrane".
