It might be a stretch, but I thought of something regarding those who travel coming back more OPEN-MINDED:
-Tap water is largely crap in the USA, but many people still drink it.
-Drinking fountain water won't make you physically sick, but contains fluoride.
-Fluoride calcifies the pineal gland.
-The pineal gland is considered to be the third-eye chakra, or one of the places of enlightenment. If it's turned off, it's hard to see what is going on.
-Those traveling abroad know the public drinking water is crap.
-They largely purchase bottled water for drinking.
-This water does not contain fluoride.
-The pineal gland begins to heal (though others such as in Jim Keith's Mind Control say that abusing it for more than one year results in permanent damage)
-They come back seeing things more clearly (at least for a little while)
Of course there are obvious factors such as seeing your own culture as just one of hundreds of different "operating systems," in some ways better and in other ways worse, than others, but by no means PERFECT.
However, I thought of this the other day while drinking clean fresh (I hope) bottled spring water and wanted to share.
Your thoughts?
