quartz crystal
quartz crystal noun
A small crystal of quartz accurately
cut along certain axes so that it can be vibrated at a particular
frequency,
used for its piezoelectric properties to produce an
electric
signal of constant known frequency.
Quartz is a crystal, which means
it has an extremely regular arrangement of atoms that vibrate at a very stable
frequency. Those characteristics make it an excellent receptor and emitter
of
electromagnetic
waves,
which is why quartz is abundantly used in radios, watches, and most electronic
technologies.

Quartz crystals are also used in
shamanism
around the world. As Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff writes: "Quartz crystals,
or translucent rock crystals, have played a major role in shamanic beliefs
and practices at many times in history and in many parts of the world.
They have frequently been found in prehistoric contexts; they are mentioned
in many early sources; they were prominent in Old World
alchemy,
witchcraft, and
magic,
and they are still in use in many traditional societies. American
Indian shamans and healers use rock crystals for curing, scrying, and many
other purposes, and their ancient use in the Americas is known from archaeological
reports.
Amazonian shamans, in particular, consider that spirits can materialize and become visible in quartz crystals. Some sheripiari even feed tobacco juice to their stones daily.
What if these spirits were
none other than the bio
photons
emitted by all the cells of the world and were picked up, amplified, and
transmitted by shamans' quartz crystals, Gurvich's quartz screens, and
the quartz containers of biophoton researchers? This would mean the
spirits are beings of pure
light
- as has always been claimed.

Most people think that quartz crystals
are only found in alternative book stores and new age circles... In fact,
the humble quartz crystal is a major component in today's technological revolution.
The conversion of quartz crystals into
silicon
chips has transformed the world, making possible the
digital
age. It has given us computers, mobile phones and communication breakthroughs
such as the
Internet
and, of course, techno music. The central core of every techno set-up
is the computer. The
silicon
chips of a computer allow vast pieces of
information
to be brought together in a precisely organized way. What we effectively
create when we hook up all the instruments ina techno studio is a crystal
matrix
with the computer acting as the mothership crystal and communicating to the
other crystal components within the system.

Nobel prize-winning scientist Marcel Vogel was one of the early pioneers of silicon chip technology. While working as a research scientist for IBM he made a discovery that shook to the core the belief systems of his scientific peers. He discovered that crystals not only have the ability to br programmed as silicon chips in a computer but also can be programmed with thought. His explanation was simple. A person sitting at a computer relays his thoughts via a keyboard which are stored in the computer's silicon chips via the medium of electricity. Vogel discovered that crystals can also be programmed without the need for electircity, by using just thoughts.
Like electircity, thought is a form
of energy, which is given direction by our
intention.
Vogel found that crystals affect the molecular structure of
water
and, since our bodies are 70 per cent water, they have a profound effect on
our metabolic processes and our emotional well being. Thus the new age
concept of wearing and programming a crystal actually works. Vogel went
on to design a multitude of experiments to validate his
quantum
theories but of course, like all ground-breaking alternative scientists, he
was ostracized by the mainstream scientific community.

Belief in crystals is not only a
new age phenomenon; ancient culturse and
Shamanic
socieities have always used the vibrational powers of crystals and gemstones.
Australian
Aborigines of the central desert believe that inside
Uluhru
(Ayers Rock) is a giant blue crystal that absorbs cosmic energy, which is then
channelled around the planet via the crystal grid matrix of the earth: an ancient
Internet. Some people believe that the ancient
Atlanteans
programmed the crystal deposites of the Earth with special encodements that
would only be discovered by future generations. These codes would unlock
certain latent energies within our
DNA
matrix
causing a quantum leap in human
evolution.
Could it be that today's techno music made with crystal technology carries these
codes within its structure, affecting us as we
trance
on the dancefloor? Get ready to take off !!

I can rejoice over this perfection
and bear witness to it with a clear conscience, for it was not I who invented
it or even discovered it. The laws of mathematics are not merely human inventions
or creations. Long before there were men on this globe, all the crystals grew
within the earth's crust. Then came a day when, for the very first
time,
a human being
perceived
one of these glittering fragments of regularity; or maybe he struck against
it with his stone ax; it broke away and fell at his feet; then he picked it
up and gazed at it lying there in his open hand. And he marveled. There is something
breathtaking about the basic laws of crystals. They are in no sense a discovery
of the human mind; they simply are; they exist quite independently of us. The
most that any man can do is to become aware, in a moment of clarity, that they
are there, and take cognizance of them.

Without doubt the most famous
and enigmatic ancient crystal is the skull, discovered in 1927 by F.A.
Mitchell-Hedges atop a ruined temple at the ancient
Mayan
city of Lubaantum, in British Honduras, now Belize.
The skull was made from a
single block of clear quartz, 5 inches high, 7 inches long and 5 inches
wide. It is about the size of a small human cranium, with near perfect
detail. In 1970, art restorer Frank Dorland was given permission to submit
the skull to tests at the
Hewlitt-Packard
Laboratories. Revealed were many
anomalies.
The skull had been carved with total disregard
to the natural crystal axis, a
process
unheard-of in modern crystallography. No metal tools were used. Dorland
was unable to find any tell-tale scratch marks. Indeed, most metals would
have been ineffectual. A modern penknife cannot mark it. From tiny patterns
near the carved surfaces, Dorland determined it was first chiseled into
rough form, probably using diamonds. The finer shaping, grinding and polishing,
Dorland believes, was done with innumerable applications of
water
and silicon-crystal sand. If true, it would have taken 300 years of continuous
labor. We must accept this almost unimaginable feat, or admit to the use
of some form of lost technology.
Modern science is stumped to explain
the skill and knowledge incorporated. As Garvin summarized:It is virtually impossible
today, in the time when men have climbed mountains on the
moon,
to duplicate this achievement...It would not be a question of skill, patience
and
time.
It would simply be impossible. As one crystallographer from Hewlitt-Packard
said, The damned thing shouldn't be.
...consider _Three Spheres II_,
in which every part of the world seems to contain, and be contained in, every
other part: the writing table reflects the spheres on top of it, the spheres
reflect each other, as well as the writing table, the drawing of them, and the
artist drawing it. The endless connections which all things have to each
other is only hinted at here, yet the hint is enough. The Buddhist allegory
of "
Indra's
Net" tells of an endless net of threads throughout the universe, the horizontal
threads running hrough space, the vertical ones through
time.
At every crossing of threads is an individual, and every individual is a crystal
bead. The great
light
of "Absolute Being" illuminates and penetrates every crystal bead; moreoever,
every crystal bead reflects not only the light from every other crystal in the
net - but also every reflection of every reflection throughout the universe.
