I don’t know much about all this esoteric spirituality business, but I do know that the pinecone has been used to symbolize the pineal glad (third-eye) in multiple cultures throughout history.

A couple months ago, entirely unrelated, I looked up what the function of a pine cone is because I have some trees in my backyard that produce a ton of them. Apparently they house the seeds for growing a new tree. Even more astounding the pine cones are fire-resistant. So in the event of a forest fire pine trees have developed this mechanism that protects their seeds from the fire, but when the tree burns down they open up and release the seeds into the soil to grow back.

I’m wondering now, if there’s any connection between the pineal gland and rebirth/reincarnation🤔

Questions, comments, concerns?
