Comments on "From Beyond"

By stimulating the human pineal gland, Crawford Tillinghast succeeded in altering human perception. In so doing he bypassed the lifetimes of meditation that humans usually require to expand their perception to see into other dimensions and times. But as always, the short path threatens madness and death. Just like Beyond the Wall of Sleep, From Beyond contains a great story idea without being a great story.

The pineal gland is associated by some with the third eye and speculations about its function vary greatly, but what is known for certain is that it produces melatonin.
