Historic Uses

Stories of the powers and uses of crystals and gems have come down to us from the beginning of
time. Legends have it that crystal forces "set" the electromagnetic field
of the Earth so that human souls could incarnate. The most popular stories
dealing with the use of crystals date back to Atlantis. There, it is said,
large crystals were used to generate power for cities, and it was the abuse
of these energies that eventually caused the destruction of this great
civilization. Edgar Cayce stated that the largest crystal generator is
buried under the Atlantic Ocean near the Devil's Triangle, and this massive
shift of unfocused electromagnetic energy is what causes ships and planes
to go astray.
It is said that crystals were harnessed in Atlantis for power and surgery.
In ancient Egypt they were the force that enabled the huge sandstone blocks
to be positioned in building the pyramids. Built atop granite, the immense
pressure of these stones activated the crystals found naturally in this
granite, creating a gigantic generator.
Crystals were used to light the inner tunnels and chambers while the pyramids
and Mystery Temples were under construction. Ancient civilizations, particularly
Atlantis, used giant crystals to focus laser light. Crystals were used
to fly aircraft, light homes, heal, for agriculture, and to focus beams
of energy between pyramids, obelisks, temples, stone monuments and all
grid points. Each pyramid amplified the energies to "light" Earth. Crystals
were used to control weather, to attune initiates, and in radio waves for
communicating with home bases in space (the orbiting Mother ships).
Crystals were used to generate energy, which were positive. The Atlanteans
used an advanced form of hypnosis in which complex detailed visuals were
projected into a person's brain, either knowingly or not. By doing this,
thoughts could be influenced, as could memory banks. Near the decline of
Atlantis, the dark priesthood was involved in control over others. They
used crystal power to create pestilence's and diseases to kill people by
projecting holographic ally the images, fears, concepts, etc., they wanted
to impress on people. They experimented on the populace. Scientists manipulated
embryos to create subhuman forms to be used as slaves. Embryo development
was arrested with crystal energy and hypnotic suggestion caused the embryos
to stay more reptilian, scale like. (Some people today are concerned that
genetic engineering could be used for control and manipulation).
Crystal generators where built which Edgar Cayce called the "terrible crystals."
Many Cayce readings refer to the use of crystals in Atlantis, both for
positive and negative uses.
In Atlantis and other ancient civilizations, the Earth grid system or energy
lei lines were understood and utilized. Crystals were employed to accentuate
this energy grid system. Crystal energy was used as a focus for other purposes
also. Atlantis and Lemuria used ultrasound and other energy forms. They
used mind power by humming or "toning," and by doing so levitated rock.
Crystal pyramids were used like a laser device because they could store
and focus energy: sunlight energy. The crystals could encode information
to a higher vibration and beam information into a person. The student could
obtain the equivalent of a college education from crystal energy.
Lemurians used crystals underground to grow food because they were afraid
of the giants living on the surface who were unfriendly and antagonistic.
The Lemurians came to spend most of their time in caves, and so needed
light energy to grow food. The stored energy from crystals was the source
for this light.
In times past, crystals were used to balance harmonies in the body-to stabilize
the flow of para, to stimulate the chakras, to raise the kundalini energy.
Facets of three, five, or seven were used for certain illnesses, while
four- and eight- sided crystals ere used to maintain balance. Crystals
of various colors red, green, blue, violet, white, etc., were used to heal
various illnesses. Their healing properties restored eyesight to some in
the hands of adept healers. Crystals were placed on the eyelids to draw
in prana and heal organs inside the body. Much later in history, the American
Indian Shamans placed quartz crystals over their eyes to help them become
more clairvoyant.
The ancient Greeks believed that quartz was "eternal ice" which came down
from Mount Olympus, home of the Greek gods. The people used its natural
magnifying power to focus the heat of the Sun's rays in order to start
ceremonial fires. According to the famous Roman scholar Pliny, who wrote
in the first century A.D., they used the focused crystal heat from the
Sun to cauterize wounds.
The ancient Egyptians held quartz sacred, and carved drinking vessels from
quartz. Whey they drank from these cups, the water became imbued with life-giving
energy. They mined quartz, and along with many cultures began to carve
it into jewelry and a variety of objects, both artistic and utilitarian.
