    About this ebook

    The fundamental power associated with crystals arises from the understanding that the world around us is actually a deep projection realized by the Higher Self. By suitable practice crystals can be used to foster direct identity with that from which all derives. The immediate conscious connection of this understanding has been long lost, in the main, but far from being “objective” elements apart from the self, crystals represent a most immediate contact with the world and more particularly with other beings all of which are part of the same consciousness.
    Crystals can therefore promote the realization of “oneness” and they can, of course, function as soul-level healers. Some can be used when clarity is required in life allowing one to travel into those areas, where fears normally prevent exploration, to bring answers to life’s questions, and to allow clarity of thought. Certain crystals keep one clear and both stimulate and promote mental clarity. Others may put one in touch with the knowing and inner wisdom on the spiritual-level that is shared by the soul. They can allow one to become aware of personal spirituality as an expression of a force not subject to death. Therefore, from this realization the relationship of family is expanded and the universe is then seen merely as a thought-form within, a thought-form which we ourselves have created. We may then further realize that we are not objects moving around in an objective and external landscape but rather the universe with all its diversity is within us.
    To get to that stage however, we must know something about our spiritual consciousness and we must work steadily with crystals that are appropriate to our current circumstances. The first step in breaking down the age-old barrier of ignorance that separates the ego-self from its own true nature is to entertain the belief that this just might be so. To allow oneself to think (if only for a moment) that the “objective world” that we all see around us is nothing but a thought-form having exactly the same nature as a dream, is the attitude required to begin with. Practice with suitable crystals will do the rest as they will open the “impervious rind of ignorance” we have built around ourselves and bit by bit the inner-self, magnified by the influence of our crystal partners, will shine forth in all its splendor thus confirming the initial step of faith.

    There is no doubt that this result will present itself, no doubt what so ever – all that is required is but a little practice. Trust your feelings and pick up the crystals that seem to call out to you. They call because they are your true friends – none truer in fact. That one’s Higher Self projects the world according to its own expectations and obligations is the eventual comprehension that will dawn upon the inquiring mind working in association with its crystal partners. Support for this notion will be adequately confirmed through the insights gained in the process.

    J. Robin E. Harger

    Born: New Zealand 1938, spent my early years on a sheep farm in the Waikato. Attended the University of Auckland and The University of California, Santa Barbara where I studied marine biology and population ecology respectively. Went on to teach experimental field ecology at The University of British Columbia from whence I strayed into environmental activism. During the course of my scientific career published widely in technical journals across the fields of ecology, environmental assessment, global warming as well as a number of articles dealing with the theory and practice of environmental activism. I eventually joined UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) spending fourteen years in the Jakarta Office before retiring as a Director of The International Oceanographic Commission (IOC) in 1999. Have an extremely well-founded understanding of the relationship between science and social practice having also spent time with The State of Michigan Toxic Substances Control Commission where he designed and implemented clean-up procedures applied by the state in controlling instances of toxic substance contamination in the environment.My foray into the area of self-analysis and subsequent projection into the profound provoked a complete reversal of my previously solid view of external physicality now finding complete agreement with Sri Ramana in observing “That the world and the mind arise as one but of the two the world depends on the mind alone the only reality being that in which this inseparable pair have their rising and setting – The One Self Alone”.

      Prologue

      The following material is divided into two sections. The first of these (Mind and Meditation) deals mainly with the use of crystals as aids to meditation with particular reference to clearing techniques that are useful in balancing the energy vorticies or chakras that run through the center of the body as a linked series of nodes. The second section (Quartz and other Foci) deals mainly with the physical characteristics of many types of crystals, particularly Quartz with respect to their affects on states of consciousness and feelings of well-being.

      Mind and Meditation

      Crystals provide a link between the universal spirit energy and earthly manifestations. A crystal can be a specific tool, similar to a lit candle, to facilitate spiritual insight and for contacting the inner being. One person might take advantage of such a tool while another might not. Even for the person who uses such tools, chances are that actual crystal work is done sporadically, with changing circumstances or with a changing appreciation of the self. Crystal sensitivities increase the more one works with them and the more one works with a specific crystal, the more deeply absorbed is its essence. The unique elements of a crystal give each a personality and the caretaker within has a natural desire to produce the greatest good possible. When used with purity of intention, a crystal naturally channels divine energy to and through the user.

      The fundamental power associated with crystals arises from the understanding that the world around us is actually a deep projection realized by the Higher Self. By suitable practice crystals can be used to foster direct identity with that from which all derives. The immediate conscious connection of this understanding has been long lost, in the main, but far from being objective elements apart from the self, crystals represent a most immediate contact with the world and more particularly with other beings all of which are part of the same consciousness.

      Crystals can therefore promote the realization of oneness and they can, of course, function as soul-level healers. Some can be used when clarity is required in life allowing one to travel into those areas, where fears normally prevent exploration, to bring answers to life’s questions, and to allow clarity of thought. Certain crystals keep one clear and both stimulate and promote mental clarity. Others may put one in touch with the knowing and inner wisdom on the spiritual-level that is shared by the soul. They can allow one to become aware of personal spirituality as an expression of a force not subject to death. Therefore, from this realization the relationship of family is expanded and the universe is then seen merely as a thought-form within, a thought-form which we ourselves have created. We may then further realize that we are not objects moving around in an objective and external landscape but rather the universe with all its diversity is within us.

      To get to that stage however, we must know something about our spiritual consciousness and we must work steadily with crystals that are appropriate to our current circumstances. The first step in breaking down the age-old barrier of ignorance that separates the ego-self from its own true nature is to entertain the belief that this just might be so.
