In Session 1: Episode 10, David Wilcock and Corey Goode discussed the importance of the Pineal Gland which is the source of neuro-melanin. Egyptian pharoahs wore two snakes on their crowns to show that they were enlightened. The snakes represented the energy that rises through the spine and ignites in the Pineal Gland. "Melaninated people" are people who have melanin in the skin -- giving them various shades of color. However, everyone has some degree of neuromelanin.
The concept of the two "snakes" of energy rising through the spine to the crown chakra is depicted in the caduceus, the symbol of Western medicine. However, its vital significance for consciousness is never explained!
Amazon says about the book Dark Light Consciousness: Melanin, Serpent Power, and the Luminous Matrix of Reality by Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D.,
​
"Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called “Ureaus” in ancient Egyptian texts and “Kundalini” in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself.
Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and constellations together."
Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop (1923-1986)
Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, nuclear physicist, and politician who studied the human race's origins and pre-colonial African culture, His work is paradigmatic of Afrocentricity and posed important questions about the cultural bias inherent in scientific research. Cheikh Anta Diop University (formerly the University of Dakar) in Dakar, Senegal is named after him.
In 1946, at the age of 23, Diop went to Paris to study. He initially enrolled to study higher mathematics, but then enrolled to study philosophy in the Faculty of Arts of the Sorbonne. He gained his first degree in philosophy in 1948, then enrolled in the Faculty of Sciences, receiving two diplomas in chemistry in 1950.
In 1953, he met Marie Curie's son-in-law, and in 1957, Diop began specializing in nuclear physics at the Laboratory of Nuclear Chemistry of the College de France and the Institut Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. He translated parts of Einstein's Theory of Relativity into his native Wolof. He obtained his doctorate in 1960.
Dr. Diop's biography is continued further below.

Diop's education in Paris included history, Egyptology, physics, linguistics, anthropology, economics, and sociology. He acquired proficiency in rationalism, dialectics, modern scientific techniques, prehistoric archeology, etc. Diop claimed to be the only Black African of his generation to have received training as an Egyptologist. He proposed that African culture be rebuilt on the basis of ancient Egypt, as European culture was built upon the legacies of ancient Greece and Rome.
​
Diop was active in the Rassemblement Demogratique Africain (RDA), an African nationalist organization . He was general secretary of the RDA students in Paris from 1950-1953. Under his leadership, the first post-war pan-African student congress was organized in 1951 -- including both French- and English-speaking Africans. The RDA students were highly active in politicizing the anti-colonial struggle and popularized the slogan "National independence from the Sahara to the Cape, and from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic". The movement identified as a key task restoring the African national consciousness, which they argued had been warped by slavery and colonialism.
​
Diop believed that the political struggle for African independence would not succeed without acknowledging the civilizing role of the African, dating from ancient Egypt. In 1960, upon his return to Senegal, Diop continued what would be a lifelong political struggle. Diop would in the course of over 25 years found three political parties that formed the major opposition in Senegal. Diop was subsequently arrested and thrown in jail where he nearly died.
