"The thalamus is like the tabernacle where the chemical marriage takes place. There are lots of symbols for this such as the orphic egg, the blue apples, etc but what it always comes down to is the mixing of the gland secretions of pineal and pituitary glands. Milk and honey, sweet and sour, blood and water all can be interpreted as relating to the third eye activation and kundalani. Therefore the stories from hebrews, greeks, celts and even the story of Odin have something to teach about this 'mixing'."
