Introduction to Quartz Crystal as a
Tool for Transformation
Scientifically speaking:
Natural clear quartz crystal gives off a measurable
electrical impulse at a precise rate; it expands and contracts, so to speak.
This electrical impulse can be programmed to quicken and to slow down.
The quartz crystal can memorize when it is to expand and contract and vary
its electrical patterns. Without crystals, one wouldn't have radios, televisions,
or computers. Clear quartz crystals are able to receive and transmit electrical
impulses, naturally. When you hold a quartz crystal, the crystal amplifies
the electrical impulses that you are generating (physically and through
your thoughts). It also amplifies the electrical impulses that are around
you (for instance, thoughts from others) and therefore increases your awareness.
Parapsychological testing has shown that one's E.S.P. is automatically
increased 30% when working with crystals. This happens even if one is a
novice.
Psychologically speaking:
Most of western humanity, due to
their sociological environment, has learned to relate their thinking patterns
to those things they can prove physically and scientifically. It is an
interesting phenomenon that most westerners constantly must justify and
verify their actions in a tangible way through the five senses. To reinforce
and validate their "beingness" they must constantly be doing, accomplishing,
seeing, hearing, etc. It appears that the possibility of true "inner quiet,"
of just "being"...of actually realizing and therefore becoming one's true
divinity...would threaten the individual's sense of existence. Many people
seem to lack faith that there is a Divine Source within; they fear to gamble
(by letting go totally of the material plane of awareness) to find it.
The average Westerner seems to feel that if they went off searching for
Spirit, they might not find it, AND they might not be able to get back
in touch with "reality" ... the phenomenological world, again.
It is very appealing, psychologically,
for many individuals when they try to "get in touch" with that which goes
beyond the physical, "rational" world, to hold onto a piece of "this world"
so that they can feel assured they will find their way back. This explains
much of the attraction for the use of objects such as rosaries, candles,
mandalas, statues, etc. When an individual uses a crystal for meditation,
prayer, balance, healing, or manifestation, one can readily see the psychology
behind it. The crystal gives a physical form to hold onto while delving into the "unknown." It's
"safe."
Spiritually speaking:
Western thought believes (through
Bible interpretation) that Spirit created "all that is" for our use, and
that humanity was given power over all the Earth. If this is true, why
would Spirit give us control over everything? For what purpose are we to
use the things we have control over? It is postulated that we have "control"
because it is our "Divine Inheritance." When we realize that everything
on Earth is part of our "Divine Inheritance," we are also to realize that
all was placed here so that we can remember our individual divinity and
place within the "Divine Plan." Everything, including quartz crystal, has
the ability to help us to fullfill our "Divine Blueprint" if we only will
take the time to understand its gift and how to properly utilize it. What
a wonderful gift Spirit has given us in the form of quartz crystal! It
is a tool for higher consciousness...a mineral structure that pulsates
like a beacon to guide us home!
As in all life, even the reasons for
the usage of the crystal reflect total harmony and balance between the
body (scientific reasons), mind (psychological reasons), and spirit (spiritual
reasons). One can see why down through the ages individuals have felt comfortable,
balanced, and attuned to the totality...the "Oneness" of creation, through the use of quartz crystal.
