Crystals
have been used since the dawn of civilization by many cultures. The
Christian Bible refers to crystals over 200 times. Crystalline structures
have been found in the ruins of Babylonia and in the ancient tombs of
Egyptian and Chinese rulers.
Crystals exhibit the properties of both piezoelectricity and
pyroelectricity. Piezoelectricity is the quality whereby electricity, and
sometimes light, is produced via compression. Many of the early
civilizations of the Earth often used quartz crystals in ceremonies and
struck the crystals in order to produce a flash of visible light.
Compression produces the release of electrons. Release of compression
allows minute expansion of the crystal and re-absorption of electrons;
hence, producing mechanical energy or vibration. A high energy source
applied to a crystal may cause it to fracture. Pyroelectricity is the
quality of an electrified state, or polarity, which is produced by, and
changes with, variation in temperature. The pyroelectric state activates
expansion of the inherent energy when the crystal is heated; subsequently,
when cooled, the energy contracts and remains within the structure.
Crystals will either attract or repel ashes, bits of paper, or thread.
This is due to the electrical charges which accumulate on the surface of
the crystal.
The
belief is when one contacts and is willing to receive a crystal's energy,
and begins to exercise personal creativity via the Higher Will, one can
contact and synthesize the energies from which the entire universe is
comprised. This is the reason that crystals and other minerals are so very
powerful and also why their powers must only be used through the highest
consciousness of the individual. Right intention aligns with this energy
and further propagates light, love, and the "good of all".
