But the Adytum, the temple s Holy of Holies, is the pineal gland, the rudimentary third eye.

And I sustained the same intolerable force."... 

And answering he said to me, "This is the priest of the Adytum. He wishes to put blood into the bodies, to make the eyes clear, and to raise up the dead."... 

The Delphi oracle was active from roughly 1600 B.C. to 392 A.D., when a Christian king put the enterprise out of business. The oracle s shrine on the slopes of Mount Parnassos was an imposing structure supported by ntunerous columns. But the essence of the temple was a small chamber, called the adytum, hidden below the floor.
