Mikhailov reached for a book by his side and opened it to a flagged page. ‘Do you recognize this?’ he asked, pointing to a little gland within the illustration of the human brain.

‘Sure,’ said Vijay. ‘That’s the pineal gland.’

‘Correct,’ said Mikhailov. ‘It’s the pinecone shaped gland which is often called the third eye. When you first came to Milesian, what did you see at the entrance?’

‘A statue of Nataraja,’ replied Vijay.

‘Yes, but it was enclosed in something,’ prompted Mikhailov.

‘An orb,’ replied Vijay.

‘Not an orb, but a structure in the shape of a pinecone,’ said Mikhailov. ‘Recent studies have shown that the pineal gland contains piezoelectric microcrystals that are sensitive to electromagnetic fields.’

‘So?’ asked Vijay.

‘This gland could very well be nature’s way of keeping us connected to the wider universe,’ said Mikhailov.

‘Like a two-way radio?’ asked Vijay.

‘The problem I have with the example of a two-way radio is that it imagines each person’s mind is independent and can send and receive messages with other minds. Instead, I would rather think that the pineal gland is the end of a networking cable and that everyone is sharing the same universal mind and consciousness. Ever heard of discovery multiples?’

‘The fact that many of man’s greatest inventions happened simultaneously—in multiples?’

‘Right,’ said Mikhailov. ‘These were researchers working from different locations without a clue to what anyone else was doing. For example, Newton and Leibniz both discovered calculus at the same time. Darwin and Wallace both developed theories of evolution around the same time. Doesn’t it reinforce the idea that we are all working off a universal mind?’

Vijay believed that Mikhailov could be right. He remembered reading a paper, which showed that colour photography was invented simultaneously by Cros and du Hauron. Oxygen was discovered by both Priestley and Scheele within a few months of each other. Logarithms were invented in parallel by Napier-Briggs and Bürgi. A list of such discovery multiples had been compiled showing that 148 major scientific breakthroughs had happened in multiples.

‘Hindus think of the Shiva lingam as a phallic symbol, but couldn’t it also be symbolic of the pinecone?’ asked Mikhailov. ‘After all, Shiva was the greatest yogi ever. It is from his uncountable punishing ages of immersing himself in total meditation that we get tantra.’
