James Thomas Lynde – April Newsletter

As April comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your continued support and curiosity as we navigate the mysterious and beautiful terrain of consciousness together.

This month, I’m thrilled to highlight The Last Dream, Book 1 in The Awakening Trilogy, which continues to find new readers who are as passionate about mind, memory, and the soul’s journey as I am. Your reviews and messages have been deeply encouraging—and your reflections on Dara Nyx’s awakening and the fight to restore dreaming remind me why I started writing this series in the first place.

But the story isn’t over.

The countdown begins.

In The Fractured Mind, we journey deeper into the unseen wars of perception, as Dara Nyx and the Fringe uncover the true cost of manufactured peace. With Seraph’s terrifying presence growing and trust within the rebellion beginning to crack, dreams are no longer just suppressed—they’re being weaponized.

This installment is darker, more intimate, and far more revealing. It’s not just a continuation. It’s a reckoning.

Mark your calendars: May 12, 2025.

It’s time to remember what they wanted us to forget.

 Spotlight: Consciousness, the Pineal Gland & the Alchemy of the Mind

As many of you know, my fiction is steeped in real-world research—particularly in the realm of consciousness studies. This month, I’ve been immersed in new findings related to the pineal gland, melatonin, and DMT synthesis. These tiny biochemical messengers may very well be the key to unlocking dimensions of awareness we’ve barely begun to comprehend.

The pineal gland—long called the "seat of the soul"—produces melatonin to regulate our circadian rhythms, but growing research suggests it may also play a role in producing dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a compound linked to dreaming, near-death experiences, and spiritual states. Whether through meditation, lucid dreaming, or hypnagogic practices, activating this center might allow access to what ancient cultures called the higher realms.

Expect more from me on this topic soon—including a series of dream induction guides and pineal activation techniques I’ve been experimenting with while writing The Fractured Mind.

Beyond The Awakening Trilogy, I’m continuing my exploration of consciousness, the pineal gland, and the mysteries of the human mind through The Out of Body series. If you’re fascinated by out-of-body experiences, frequencies, and the hidden truths of reality, stay tuned—there’s much more to come.
