These are fascinating posts. I just did a quick test to find my "I AM", which is somewhere in the area of the pituitary and pineal glands.

What are your thoughts about the location of the "I AM"?

Thank you for trying the experiment! You did a great job IMO.

Now the Pineal gland and the Pituitary gland are separated by the "mid-brain".

The Pineal Gland looks a bit like a pine cone, about the size of a grain of rice in most people. Larger in those who learn and use it regularly. The interior walls of the Pineal Gland are made of rods and cones that are similar to those in the retina in our eyes. Being placed in the deep near center of our brains, you would think that this would be a strange place to develop the ability to "See". For this and other reasons, the Pineal gland is known as your third eye. Some have called it "the seat of the soul." It is definitely connected to our ability to "See" with our inner/spiritual eyes.

The outer mark or symbol of this gland is the "third eye" which lies between and just above our natural eyes, near the base of our forehead. You can touch it to stimulate your third eye. This point is known by many names including the Middle Eye of Shiva, the Eye of Horus, and the Horn of the Unicorn.

"Applied kinesiology uses this third eye center as a way to "reset" the bio-electrical system back to baseline whenever it seems to be energetically unaligned." It essentially takes attention away from the 5 outer senses and places it on the inner Spiritual senses. When you touch it, you may notice an almost undetectable feeling, (buzz, change or energy), near the back of the center of your brain. This is the pineal gland.

An interesting experiment to see this work is to raise your arm and hold it up while someone gently pulls down on it while you pay attention to how much effort you must exert to keep your arm up. Then do the same test while the person presses lightly on your third eye and notice how much more difficult it is to keep your arm up.

Conversely, I have used slight pressure or rubbing on the third eye to assist others with achieving meditative visions while seeking answers to their questions.

If you use your mind's eye, (which is your pineal gland), to see something spiritual or not present, and pay attention to where you feel that gland, in relation to your I AM, you will notice that it is slightly back (Toward your back) from your "I AM".

To find your I AM:
- From the front of your face, found in the center of your head, slightly lower than your eyes, on the bridge of your nose pointing to the back of your head.
- From the side of your head, you will find it just above your jaw bone, slightly lower than your temple.

The gland that most nearly meets this location is the Pituitary gland.

It is hard to do this experiment and find our I AM, because our "brain map", (map of our own bodies as learned, stored and updated by our brain), includes our arms, legs, and some internal organs, but usually doesn't include the inside of our heads. (Interesting video about how our brain map works)

Your Pituitary gland is located just below the hypothalamus in a small boney cradle called the "Sella turcica" where it is very protected. It is called, "The Master Gland" and secretes a ton of hormones required for the body to function properly. You can live without this gland, but you must to take hormone supplements, and you will experience a number of side effects like not being able to have children.

Because you can live without this gland, it does not seem to be the actual location of the I AM, however, the I AM is VERY near there.

Consider that all of the major sensory input passes through a very small space, about 1-2cm, right near the Pituitary gland.

The visual nerves from the eyes pass through the Optic Chiasm, a very small "X" just above the Pituitary gland.
The piriform cortex which distributes the smell signals to various parts of the brain is just behind the Pituitary gland.
The lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve brings the taste senses near the pituitary gland before dispersing them throughout the brain.
The spinal cord nerves connect through the Ponds and the Medulla to the Middle Brain which funnels directly into the pituitary gland and surrounding tissue.
The Vestibulocochlear nerve brings the input from the ear, (created when sounds waves touch/contact thousands of tiny hair cells), into the brain stem between the Ponds and the Medulla bringing the signals through the midbrain into the Pituitary gland tissue with the other touch sensory data.
The Pituitary gland or Master Gland works with the hypothalamus to create the major hormones that body needs to function, react to the environment, etc.
the Mammillary body which essential for recording memories is located on the tissue connecting the midbrain to the pituitary gland.

The list could go on and on. The point is that so many senses and master functions seem to be funneled into or pass/connect through this tight little spot which is right around our pituitary gland. It also happens that we find our I AM right there as well.

You nailed it.
