Vatican and the pine-cone courtyard

In our previous posts, we discussed about third-eye (mentioned in vedic texts as the seat of the mystical powers) identifying its location as the pine-cone shaped (or eye shaped) Pineal Gland.  This is also referred to as the “seat of the soul” in ancient texts.
In Vatican, the center of the Roman Catholic Church, one of the largest statues is the  statue of a pine-cone, 4 meters in high with two peacocks on either side ( see below).  
Genesis 32:30 : Jacob named the place Peniel (which means "face of God"), for he said, "I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been spared."
