The
Power and Magic of Crystals in the 21st Century.
When
looking at crystals, a lot of us see things of natural beauty and innate power.
Then there are those among us who see nothing but a rock, it may look pretty but
has no further value. They will then scoff at and deride the knowledge of those of us who believe in the power and magic of
Crystals and use their physical and metaphysical properties to our advantage,
These are the same people who blindly extol the virtues and benefits of our
modern day technologies, with little to no thought of natures role in making
these technologies possible.
Yet, many of the wonders of our daily lives
that we take for granted owe their existence in some way to crystals and the
mineralogical kingdom. Here are just a few
examples:-
Keeping Time. In
order to keep our lives on time and punctual we have come to depend very heavily
on accurate time pieces. To do this most of our clocks and watches use Quartz movements. Until recently the world clock kept its time using a Quartz
movement. Today it uses Atomic decay as the measuring
device.
Our Computers.
Imagine trying to operate in your modern lifestyle without one of
these. Yet the main driving component of your computer is the silicon chip. Admittedly these are
synthesized these days for uniformity and consistency, as Mother Nature doesn’t
make identical duplicates. But the very first one used in the prototypes were
natural pieces of silicon dioxide; Quartz.
Lasers. At the core of our modern
day miracle tools are Crystals, the
two most commonly used are Ruby and
Emerald. The medical fraternity has come to
depend on these devises; which are used predominately in eye and cosmetic
surgery.
Imagine the modern day builder without his laser level, or the
speaker without his laser pointer.
Precision Bearings.
Very fine tolerance technical tools depend on the crystal world to provide
extremely durable bearings. At the cheaper end of the scale are Quartz and Garnet through to the more expensive Ruby, Emerald, and Diamond.
There are a great many other examples that can be used to
demonstrate the use of crystals in our technologies and industry, but the short
list above will be satisfactory for this article.
Let’s look at some other
uses; Mica is crushed up finely
and provides the shine in the best brands of lipstick. Lapis Lazuli is still used (ground up of
course) in some exclusive brands of eye shadow. It provides that deep
blue/purple colour, very popular in Egyptian
times.
And of course a variety of stones are crushed and included in many
of today’s orthodox ointments, tinctures and
creams.
So why should it be surprising to these people when we talk of the
Healing and magical properties of
these same crystals as we use them in our day to day life. If we go back to
Biblical times, the Breast Plate of the
High Priest was adorned with crystals selected for their peculiar energies
and properties.
The
Crown and Scepter of Royalty
are decorated with crystals chosen, not for their beauty (as beautiful as they
are), but for the energy and power they would
afford.
A very interesting carry over from times past is in our use of
jewellery. For example, Diamonds (known as a girl’s best friend) are
the most popular stone for engagement rings. These were originally used because
of their power or property to join or bind one to the other. Gold bands were
chosen as wedding rings as Gold carries the energy of and is a symbol
for fidelity.
With just these few examples you can see that Crystals play a vital role in our daily
lives, with more going on behind the scenes with crystals and gemstones than may
first be realized. So if we can utilize them so well in our technologies, why
shouldn’t we be able to use them to enhance our spiritual and healing powers?
Of course, a lot of us already realize that these are
powerful allies to augment our spiritual lives and to assist in our
healing.
