What are Crystals and Why Are They Important?

Crystals are sacred stones. They are special mineral specimens that are gestated in the womb of Mother Earth and birthed into the atmosphere. Once birthed, humanity has an opportunity to experience the sacredness of these Earth treasures.

Crystals are important. Why? - Because crystals are the premier tools for a Spiritual Technology. Spirit is definind as Life-force energy. Technology is the use of tools. A spiritual technology involves using tools to enhance and generate life-force energy. Again, the optimal tools for this technology is sacred stones and crystals.

To better overstand, let us review some basic laws of creation.

EVERYTHING IS VIBRATION

The use of crystals and sacred stones as tools for a spiritual technology is based on a key law of the universe: Everything in creation is vibration. It is a universal law that everything, from the highest frequency of radiation to the densest form of matter, is essentially vibrational energy. This universal law is a 'scientific fact' that has been verified by Western science.

Scientists know that matter is composed of molecules, and that molecules are composed of atoms. Atoms are composed of two primary particles: positively charged protons that form the atomic nucleus, and negatively charged electrons that spin rapidly around the nucleus. These particles bond together through an intermolecular force that is a form of electromagnetic attraction. Thus, in physics, atoms are considered to be vibrating energy particles (protons and electrons) that weave and intertwine with each other to form creation. Physics literally is defined as the study of energy.

Matter is the densest form of energy. However, depending on the frequency of vibration, energy will manifest in one of three basic forms.

- Electromagnetic energy (The highest spectrum of energy)
-Sonic energy (The mid-range spectrum of energy)
-Matter (The lowest spectrum of energy)

Electromagnetic Energy:

This spectrum of energy contains the highest frequencies of energy in creation. Electromagnetic energy consists of radiant atomic particles (protons and electrons) that travel very fast. The average speed of these moving particles is around the speed of light. In physics, an atomic particle in motion is called a photon. Photons move through creation in wave-like patterns. The size of the wave determines the frequency of the photon's energy. The shorter the wavelength is, the higher the frequency will be. The longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency will be. Even though photons move in wave-like patterns, the path that a photon travels is a straight line called a ray. Photon particles radiate, or stream out from an energy source in a straight line. For example, sunlight is radiant energy that radiates from the Sun. It is composed of various photon particles that stream forth from the Sun at the speed of light (See adjacent graphics).

In the study of Physics, the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into eight sections. These divisions are based on the type of particle (i.e. - proton or electron) that composes the radiation; as well as the size of the radiation's wavelength. The eight sections of the electromagnetic spectrum is as follows (from the highest to lowest frequency):

Cosmic Rays: Also known as hard gamma rays, cosmic rays are extreme high-energy protons that have very short wavelengths (1025-1022 hertz). These particles are the highest frequency of energy in creation identified so far. They create super high-energy particle showers when they collide with Earth's atmosphere. The primary source of cosmic rays is the Black hole at the center of the galaxy, also known as the galactic core. Neighboring galaxies are also a source of cosmic rays.

Gamma Rays: Gamma rays are high-energy protons that have short wavelengths (1022-1019 hertz). The primary sources of gamma rays are the Sun and neighboring stars; they are also released from terrestrial radioactive matter. Gamma rays are radioactive energy, meaning that the gamma energy particles can penetrate and break down most forms of matter. Overexposure to gamma rays causes radiation sickness, in which the body breaks down and decomposes on the molecular level.

X-rays: X-rays are high-energy electrons that range in frequency of 1019-1017 hertz. The primary sources of X-rays are the galactic core and our local Sun. X-rays are also released from radioactive nuclear matter. X-ray energy is so intense that it can penetrate and break down most forms of matter. Their ability to travel through matter is used in modern medicine by doctors to take pictures of the interior of the body (X-ray diagnostics). Overexposure to X-rays causes radiation sickness, in which the body breaks down and decomposes on the molecular level.

Ultraviolet radiation: UV radiation is composed of high-energy electrons that range in frequency from 1017-1015. The primary source of UV energy on Earth is the Sun. Sun lamps can create ultraviolet radiation as well. Ultra means beyond. Violet is a shade of purple. Beyond purple is blackness. Because of this, ultraviolet radiation is also known as Black light. Black light has profound impact upon matter, both organic and non-living. Black light ionizes matter, causing the electrons contained in the matter to become excited and/or released. Ion is another name for a 'free' electron. Black light's influence upon ions can cause:
-Photochemical processes (cause chemical reactions);
-Photoelectric reaction (cause some elements to produce electricity when
exposed to Black light); and
-Fluorescence or iridescence (cause some elements to light up or
illuminate).
Black Light has many potential benefits to hue-manity. It catalyzes the production of melanin throughout the body, particularly in the skin, sympathetic, and central nervous system. Black light harmonizes melatonin and seratonin secretions of the brain. Black light has antioxidant and bacteriological properties. It neutralizes toxic free radicals and eliminates bacteria and viruses from the body. Western medicine sometimes utilizes UV light to treat tuberculosis and infected skin legions because of this property. Black light also catalyzes the production of vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bone formation and maintenance. Black light is used by Western medicine for the treatment of rickets (bow legs) because of this quality. Black light accelerates the lymphatic and circulatory systems. It stimulates anti-body production, glandular activity and metabolic processes. It especially enhances the action of the lungs, heart, and sympathetic nervous system.

Optical light: Optical light is also known as visible light. This is the spectrum of light that can be seen by the human eye. The main source of visible light on planet Earth is the Sun. Compared to the other forms of electromagnetic energy visible light is a very small spectrum. It ranges in frequency from 1015 - 1014.5 hertz. The full spectrum of visible light is called White light. White light is made of three primary colors: red, blue, and green light. These colored lights are considered primary because these color rays need to be equally present to produce white light. When two of these three colors are paired together, it will produce a secondary color.
Red + blue light = magenta
Green + red light = yellow
Blue + green light = cyan
Within the color spectrum, blue light is the highest frequency. It is approximately 1015 hertz. It is right below the ultraviolet spectrum. Green light is the mid-range of the optical light spectrum. Red light is the lowest of color frequencies. It resonates around 1014.5 hertz. Beyond its association with vision, visible light has profound effects upon the moods, physiological condition and sleep patterns of humans.

Infrared radiation: Infrared means below red. Infrared energy is invisible rays that have frequencies lower than visible red light. This band of energy is about five times larger than the spectrum of visible light. It ranges in frequency from 1014.5 hertz through 1011 hertz. Infrared radiation is the scientific name for heat rays. Heat rays elevate the temperature of matter, dehydrates matter, and excites matter into movement. Intense infrared radiation can cause matter to ignite, melt, vaporize, or combust. When fire consumes matter, infrared radiation is generated. The primary source of infrared heat on planet Earth is the Sun. Solar heat rays are invigorating to all life forms, but too much can cause dehydration and heat exhaustion. Pressure in the Earth's interior creates infrared radiation as well, and this heat is discharged through volcanic activity.

Radio waves: Radio waves are electromagnetic radiation emitted from rapidly vibrating metals. In nature, stars and planets are the primary sources of radio waves. For example, the iron core of planet Earth emits a radio signal due to the intense pressure and constant shifting of the Earth's mantle. Man can also generate radio waves by circulating an alternate current (AC electricity) through a metallic cone or rod (antennae). The electrical current causes the atoms in the antennae to vibrate rapidly. As the atoms vibrate, the antenna radiates radio waves that match the frequency of the electrical current.
Radio waves make up the largest band of energy within the electromagnetic spectrum. It ranges in frequency from 1011 through 103 hertz. Radio waves have three distinct forms. They are from highest to lowest frequency:
-Microwaves - Micro means 'vary small''. These are the highest frequency of radio waves; therefore they have the smallest wavelength. Satellite and cellular phone communication is conducted over microwaves (1011 - 108 hertz).
-Short wave - The mid-range of radio frequencies (108 - 105 hertz). Television and FM radio frequencies are broadcast over short wave radio frequencies
-Long wave - The lowest range of radio waves (105 - 103 hertz). AM frequencies are broadcast over long wave radio frequencies.

Power frequencies: Power frequencies are one of the lowest bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. They range in frequency from 103 hertz through 101 hertz. Power frequencies are commonly known as electricity. In nature, power frequencies discharge as lightening. Man generates these frequencies by chemical reaction (a battery cell) or rotating magnetic fields (generators). Electricity is the movement of electrons through a conductor. Unlike the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum, electricity cannot circulate through space or broadcast through the atmosphere. It can only discharge as lightening or a spark. Electrical frequencies are so low they must circulate through a conductive material such as metal or water. The passage of electricity through wire and modern electrical gadgets does create magnetic fields that permeate the atmosphere of the adjacent area. These magnetic fields are known as 'extra-low-frequency' (ELF) radiation.

Ferromagnetism: The phenomenon of magnetism is actually the lowest frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. Magnetism is a field of force that is created by the movement of electrons in a magnet. Natural magnet is an iron ore called magnetite. Man can create a magnet by coiling an iron rod with wire and passing an electric current through the coil. The field of force created by ferromagnetic substances either attracts or repels other magnetic substances and metals. Magnetism is closely associated with electricity and it shares the same frequencies as electrical energy. However, magnetism's range extends below power frequencies. Magnetic fields resonate from 103 hertz to 7 hertz. In nature, stars and planets usually contain magnetized metals, and as a result emit magnetic fields. For example, the iron core of the Earth has a magnetic field that resonates at 7.3 hertz. Below 7 hertz, no electromagnetic phenomena can be observed.

Sonic Energy

As stated, the electromagnetic spectrum is energy that consists of moving atomic particles (i.e. - electrons & protons). The sonic spectrum differs from the electromagnetic spectrum in that the movement of matter (gasses, liquids, or solids) creates sonic energy as opposed to the movement of energy particles. Moreover, a medium is necessary to transfer sonic waves. In other words, sonic waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space as most frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum can. There must be a medium of air, water, or earth for sonic vibrations to reverberate.

Sonic means sound, and is defined as a disturbance of matter to which the human ear is sensitive. The sonic spectrum is divided into three categories: ultrasonic, audible, and infrasonic.

Ultrasonic energy is sound that is above and beyond the human audible range. It is energy reverberating through the air that the human ear cannot hear. It ranges in frequency from 109 hertz, to 20,000 hertz. Western medicine uses high frequency ultrasonic energy to capture images of unborn fetuses in ultrasound diagnostic procedures. A dog whistle is an example of lower frequency ultrasonic energy. These whistles emit a sound that the human ear cannot detect. However, when one of these whistles is blown around a dog, it incites howling and other reactions because the pitch is within a dog's audible range.

Audible energy is what humans know and experience as sound. It ranges in frequency from 20,000 hertz to 20 hertz. Vibrating or moving matter creates waves of sound that ripple through the air. The waves are transmitted outward from their source, and when they enter the ear they produce the sensation of sound. The strumming of a guitar string is an excellent example.

Infrasonic energy is sounds of such a low pitch; it is below the human audible range. There is no clearly defined lower limit of sonic frequencies below 20 hertz. Water turbulence, inaudible wind and air movement, and all forms of seismic activity (earthquakes) are considered infrasonic waves.

Matter

The densest of the three forms of energy, matter is considered to be vibrational energy that occupies space for a given time and has mass (weight). Matter is composed of 'frozen' protons and electrons. The particles are frozen in that they are immobilized and unable to travel as radiant energy. These immobile particles weave and intertwine with one another due to electromagnetic attraction. This attraction is also known as intermolecular force. Protons tend to carry an electrifying charge; electrons tend to carry a magnetic charge. The mutual attraction of these two particles causes them to bond together in atomic structures called molecules. Molecules then bond together and materialize.

There are two forms of matter, depending on how the molecules bond together: amorphous (without form) and crystalline (crystal-like).

Amorphous matter is composed of molecules that are bonded in a random, unorganized arrangement. The word 'amorphous' means without form. Since amorphous matter has a random molecular order, it usually does not produce things that naturally reflect measurable proportion, symmetry, balance, or organization. Sandstone, which is sand compressed into a rock, is an example of amorphous matter. Obsidian, which is hardened lava from a volcanic eruption, is another example of amorphous matter. Ice is an amorphous form of frozen water. In nature, all three of these materials are found in random arrangements, shapes and sizes.

WHAT IS A CRYSTAL?

In contrast to ice, a snowflake is a crystalline form of frozen water. 'Crystalline' means crystal-like, or like a crystal. Crystalline matter is composed of molecules that are organized and arranged in a consistent pattern. Crystalline molecules are naturally coordinated, synchronized, and balanced with one another. Any form of matter that has organized, coordinated and symmetrically arranged molecules is crystalline or crystal-like.

The significance of crystal-like matter is that the organized molecules are a reflection of a unified energy field. Probably the simplest way to describe a unified energy field is by making an analogy. Anybody who has attended an inspiring concert performance has experienced the electrical sensation of vibing in oneness with the singers, musicians, and the rest of the crowd. The shared harmonic vibration that is experienced by those present is a unified energy field. The shared vibe connects the individuals in attendance into one collective pulsating energy wave. Each person shares in the vibe, adds to the vibe, and harmonizes with the vibe.

Crystalline molecules come together in such a way that they generate and share a similar energy. The intermolecular force that bonds the molecules together is a coordinated, organized energy. It is as if a song is orchestrating the molecules into doing the same dance in unison with one another and within an equal distance from one another. In turn, each molecule adds to and harmonizes the collective energy field of the crystal.

This is important because the unified energy field of many forms of crystal yield energy potential. This means that certain crystals have the ability to produce or exchange energy. When molecules are congruent (arranged in harmonious alignment), they have the potential to freely share and exchange electrons with one another without decomposing. It is as if a cloud of free electrons permeates throughout the crystalline structure. In Physics, this cloud of ions within crystal-like matter is called electron gas. Ions in the electron gas move freely throughout the entire body of certain crystalline matter. This gives certain crystals the potential to:

Conduct- Some crystals allow energy to travel through them, but offer some resistance or impedance to the energy flow.

Semi-conduct- Certain crystals alternate between conducting an energy flow and insulating (blocking) an energy flow. This causes the energy flow to travel in a rhythmic pulse.

Super-conduct- Certain crystals allow energy to travel through them without offering any resistance to the energy flow.

Resonate- Some crystals amplify or add to energy circulating through them by resonating or vibrating in unison with the source of the energy.

THE PHASES OF MATTER AND CRYSTALLIZATION

Matter has three phases: gaseous, liquid, or solid. Take water for example. Depending on temperature and pressure, water can either be a:
-Cloud (gas);
-Body of water (liquid); or
-Solid (ice and snow).

All three phases of matter can have crystal-like organization of its internal molecules.

For example, plasma is a crystal-like gas. In Physics, plasma is defined as a gaseous body that has an organized, congruent molecular makeup. The molecules in plasma maintain an abundance of circulating free electrons. Because plasma has an abundance of free electrons, physicists call plasma 'ionized gas'. Ionized gas is a remarkable super-conductor of electricity. The Earth's ionosphere, a thin band of charged electrons about 60 miles about the planet surface, is a body of plasma in nature. Neon gas tubes, often used in electronic advertising signs, are man-made plasma bodies. The gas in these sealed glass tubes acts like plasma in nature and conducts electricity. Neon plasma is used in ad signs because it discharges a fiery red glow when an electrical current passes through it.

Liquid crystals are fluids that have congruent, organized molecules and can conduct electricity. The liquid crystal display (LCD) watch is an example of a man-made liquid crystal. The 'mood ring' of the 1970's (the ring that changes color depending on the body temperature/mood of the wearer) is another. The crystal-like fluid within these modern gadgets is actually an organic compound derived from liquid cholesterol.

CLEAR QUARTZ AS 'CRYSTAL'

In spite of the fact that all three phases of matter can manifest in crystalline form, the most common perception of a crystal is a solid rock composed of organized, congruent molecules. There are several forms of rock specimens that fit this description. However, one stone in particular is commonly thought of as 'crystal' - clear quartz.

There are several reasons clear quartz is called 'crystal'. One reason is that the Greek word Krystallos, from which the word crystal is derived, means 'clear ice'. Quartz crystal strongly resembles ice in that it is clear, translucent, and often has white wisps inside of it.

Another reason is that clear quartz is an abundant stone. It is found in varying forms throughout much of the world. Its elemental compound - silicon dioxide - constitutes 32% of the Earth's weight. That is the largest percentage of all elements. Iron constitutes the next largest percentage of the Earth's weight at 24%.

Yet another reason clear quartz is considered 'crystal' is the great energy potential of quartz. There is probably no other stone that has as many uses by humanity as quartz. Depending on the form of energy, quartz crystal can act as a conductor, semi-conductor, superconductor, or resonator of that energy. This is why quartz technology is the foundation of the silicon microchip computer and all forms of modern electronic communication. This is also why quartz technology is considered the premier tool in the emerging spiritual technology of the next millennium.

PROPERTIES OF CLEAR QUARTZ

Clear quartz crystal is a super-conductor of naturally occurring:
-High frequency cosmic radiation,
-Ultra-violet energy, and
-Geo-magnetic fields.

A super-conductor is any material that can transmit energy without offering resistance or impedance to the energy flow. The material must also be able to maintain stability and not break down while transmitting the energy. The primary vibrations that are super-conducted by quartz include:

Cosmic radiation - This includes hard gamma, gamma, and x-rays. When these forms of radiation travel through space and penetrate Earth's atmosphere, they create super high-energy particle showers. These particle showers rain down upon Earth and permeate the environment. Quartz super-conducts this cosmic energy. This makes quartz a valuable tool for attuning oneself with the high-energy cosmic radiation present in the environment.

Ultra-violet radiation - Also known as Black light, UV energy has profound impact upon matter, both organic and non-living. Black light causes photochemical processes, photoelectric reactions, fluorescence, and iridescence in various forms of matter. Quartz super-conducts UV energy; Black light passes through quartz unimpeded. Clear quartz allows UV light to pass through its molecular matrix without any resistance. In contrast, amorphous silica dioxide, commonly known as glass, blocks or insulates UV energy. Even though glass is made of the same two elements as quartz crystal, the unorganized molecular makeup of glass prevents Black light from passing through it. Quartz's ability to super-conduct Black light makes this stone a valuable tool for assisting oneself in assimilating UV radiation healthfully.

-Geo-magnetic energy Quartz super-conducts the geo-magnetic field of the Earth as well. The Earth exerts a mild magnetic field, the currents of which flows North/South. This geo-magnetic energy pulses or vibrates at 7.83 Hertz-per-second. Studies indicate that in areas where currents of geo-magnetic energy are intense, people grow stronger and are healthier. Where the Earth's magnetic energy is stifled; people tend to suffer greater incidences of debilitating disorders. Quartz crystal accumulates and super-conducts geo-magnetic energy, augmenting its presence in the surrounding environment.

Quartz Crystal is a Conductor of:
-Visible light, and
-Infrared radiation

A conductor is a material that has the ability to transmit energy, but provides some resistance or impedance to the energy flow. Clear quartz conducts visible light and infrared light. In other words, clear quartz allows these forms of energy to travel through it; however, it impedes some of the light and infrared energy. This impedance manifests as reflection or refraction.

When visible and infrared light pass through clear quartz, it is either reflected or refracted. Clear quartz reflects light by scattering its rays in various directions. This gives quartz a luminescent halo when exposed to direct sunlight or bright light. Quartz refracts light by slowing the rays down and 'breaking' them up into a rainbow of separate color rays. Many crystals contain rainbows within their inclusions (inner realms), and some quartz will project rainbows like a prism when exposed to sunlight.

The reflection and refraction of light by clear quartz is the stone's resistance to the light energy. This resistance does two things:

1- It organizes, encodes and patterns the light waves that travel through it.

2- The impeded light energy is transformed into electrical discharges, giving quartz photoelectric potential, which is defined as the ability to transform light into electricity. Quartz also has pyroelectric potential, or the ability to transform heat into energy.

Quartz's ability organize and encode infrared light is utilized in the remote control technologies often found in modern entertainment systems. Infrared light is beamed through a quartz wafer within the remote control. The quartz then encodes the light with a signal. A silicon sensor on the television reads the signal and commands the entertainment system to change the channel, volume, etc. It is different electrical impulses channeled into the quartz that vary (changes) the signal.

The photoelectric potential of quartz is utilized in modern solar energy technologies. Silicon, the primary element in quartz (silica dioxide) is the key element in solar cells. Silicon discharges electrons when exposed to sunlight, and in the process transforms sunlight into electricity.

Quartz also discharges electrons when exposed to heat. This pyroelectric potential of quartz makes it the key component of digital thermometers and other heat sensing devices.

Clear Quartz is a resonator of:
-Radio waves

A resonator is a material that can change its internal frequency to match an external frequency. When that material matches the external frequency, the two vibrate in unison with one another. This state of mutual vibes is called resonant affinity (being in like vibration).

Quartz is a resonator of all forms of radio waves: microwave, long wave, and short wave. Crystal can amplify or add to a radio wave field by resonating or vibrating in oneness with the source of the radio signal.

In other words, when external radio waves enter quartz crystal, the crystal's unified energy field becomes one with the radio waves. In the process, the crystal amplifies and harmonizes the radio frequency with which it is in resonating affinity. During this process, the crystal and source of the radio waves are in resonant affinity. Television, radio, and most communication systems use this characteristic of quartz in selecting and isolating a chosen radio frequency so it can be transmitted and received without interference from other frequencies.

-Quartz crystal is a semi-conductor of:
-Power frequencies.

A semiconductor is a material that alternates between conducting a flow of energy, and insulating the energy flow. This causes the energy flow to travel in a rhythmic pulse. Clear Quartz is a semi conductor of power frequencies, the electrical charges generated by chemical reaction (i.e. - battery) or rotating magnetic fields (generator). When electrical currents are passed through quartz, two things occur:

-The quartz discharges an intensified electrical field in a rhythmic pulse-like pattern. It is as if the quartz transforms the electrical current from a steady hum into an on/off rhythmic beating of a drum. This semi-conductive potential of quartz is the basis of the binary (0,1 / if: then) language of modern computer technology.
-The quartz itself begins to physically vibrate. The rate of vibration depends on the strength and frequency of the electrical current. Several modern technologies are based on this feature of quartz. Thin slices of quartz are set to vibrate at precise rates; locking radios onto a specific station frequency or allowing multiple telephone calls to be transmitted over the same telephone cables.

A related feature of quartz is piezoelectric potential. Piezo means pressure. Quartz generates electricity when external pressure is applied. Physically squeezing and twisting quartz causes piezoelectric discharge. Bombarding quartz with sound vibrations causes piezoelectric discharge as well...

These energy potentials of quartz crystal makes it the premier tool in a spiritual technology - tools to enhance and generate life force energy...
