Many 4-D readers have been curious about what an Atlantean crystal "looks" like. Amusingly enough, many people tend to think of quartz crystals, or other "natural" crystalline forms when they image an Atlantean crystal. The Atlantean crystals, however, were entirely artificial creations, whose base shape was, of course, pyramidal. Most of the Atlantean crystals that survive into our own probability stream are in this form. The "ben-ben" stone of ancient Egypt was a memory of such crystals, which were worshipped in the original as a means of connecting with the "god in heaven." These forms were essentially communication devices to transmit directly from mind to mind.

Nonetheless, the root cystalline shape could be used for a great variety of applications, from "storage devices" that retained states of consciousness like we use disk storage in computers, to the construct underlying the mutable surfaces on buildings which constitued the bas-relief effects we call Atlantean "writing," and energy transduction. The "living" crystals were a basement technology.

Crystals of Consciousness

An Holy Atlantean Crystal

In appearance, the surface of a living crystal is a perfect mirror--except that it has NO reflection. I know that's a paradox, but it is one that describes perfectly the "perspective" of seeing one "in the flesh." It is said that there may actually be a reflection as "normal," but the inner mind is entrained so quickly from the eye sense that the brain doesn't have enough time to "return" the echo and thus perceive or recognize a reflective image. That's why some people, including me at an earlier time, thought of them as "transparent," when in fact it is the contact with them that shows the "transparency" of the human mind--the notion that the physical crystal is clear is only a projection of the "clear" nature of the human mind. Living crystals jumpstart your mind immediately to whatever is "inside" the crystal. Some people psay that the reason people developed a fondness for clear crystal balls--as well as have an instinctive attraction to the brilliance of gemstones--is in rememberance of this effect upon us way back when.

The crystal skulls that are so popular now are not Atlantean in origin, at least in the sense that they are not living crystals. Another way to tell an Atlantean crystal is that they were NEVER round balls. The crystals were grown naturally to design and not ever "cut" in any way. A cut Atlantean crystal is a dead Atlantean crystal, just like a Pentium chip snipped apart.

In approaching an Atlantean crystal, there is a sense of being "drawn" forward. This effect, which accurately describes the sense of attraction that most people feel toward these things even in the abstract, is actually an effect of the crystal. As you come closer, you enter the sphere of the crystal's influence. It begins to "tune" your mind in a rhythmic entrainment that induces a state of concentrated focus. The result is the desire to get closer, and the closer you get, the more you are entrained. Eventually you are wholly enthralled to whatever conscious state has been inprinted on the crystal. Once you have "made contact" with a given crystal consciousness, you are always part of the "continuum" of that crystal. Whatever else is connected within it, you are also connected to in a psi current. This current becomes permanently enfolded within your mind. For most people thus exposed, they sit there helplessly in a trance. More than one crystal is surrounded by the skeletons of people--particularly in Egypt and Tibet--who, frozen into tranced immobility, starved to death on the spot. These things were NOT made for our minds, but for the minds of beings who were vastly more psi potent than us. The only reason that we interact with the crystals at all is because part of the Atlantean nature was used to create us, and it is to that part of our mindstreams that the crystals "speak."

There are "caches" of living crystals all over the earth, though by far the greatest "library" of these in as yet undisturbed in Antartica. Many smaller collections can be found in South and Central America, off the eastern coast of Florida, in Egypt and the Near East (yes, there are some buried deep beneath Jerusalem, which is why that place is as it is), and in the "wastes" of central Asia/Tibet. Some few are found as well in Australia and New Zealand. Some have been removed from Mexico and transported to the United States, though not without great difficulty and the inevitable loss of life that comes from handling these things. They are radioactive in a psychic sense--and may even be radioactive in the physical way, too. They do, certainly, glow in the dark.

The making of a living crystal for consciousness was a "priestly" function. The crystals were not made in factories like we tend to think of production, but were "grown" carefully, slowly, and with absolute stillness of concentration by Atlanteans who had the mental powers/training to work with the raw materials. The elements present were primarily iron and carbon with rare metal traces, as best I can tell--yet I am not certain.

These things are difficult to assess.

The "power" source for the functions of the crystal appears to be a natural result of being within surging currents of the Earth's magnetic field. Sunlight may be destructive to them, though I wonder at that since they "powered" the great pyramids, unless they were shielded with gold as the ancients of the classical world were told by Egyptian priests.

There were different grades of living crystals. On the low end, there was a basic "recordkeeping" type. These were easiest to make and consequently there were many more of them in use. They were fragile, small, and usually shortlived as they were prone to damage. Being very sensitive to movement of any kind (as the U.S. military found out, to their embarrassment in moving the Yucatan group), they will fracture at the slightest provocation--an effect only intensified by the passage of time. Once cracked, the crystals immediately dissolve, crumbling into a pile of useless and likely poisonous dust. Among the higher grades of living crystals were communications types, which will be discussed below, and the highest of all the forms, the type from which they get their name: those used to embed a living consciousness.

The goal of every Atlantean priest was to be able to form a living crystal matrix that would serve as a receptable for their enduring consciousness. In merging their consciousness with this crystal, they would--in their terms--be closer to their own "creators," or the equivalent of what we call "gods." In short, they extended their "lives" through the physical duration of the crystal. The cataclysms that destroyed Atlantis shattered most of these kinds of crystals, but there are some left even now. In this way it is possible to "talk" with an Atlantean, if your mind circuits are rated for the amperage and you don't starve to death in the process.

Communications Crystals

The Atlanteans did not exist in the "3-D" world we are habitually prone to see, even though they did have a material expression. As said in another context, they were in the world but not of it. Their true existence as mindstuff was clearer to them than most of us have understanding of our physical bodies. If they ate something, for example, their conscious contact with the food did not end with the taste buds. They followed the whole digestive process, indeed they were the process in a way not available to ordinary human consciousness. That's why they liked sex so much, because it was a way of jumping through existence after existence, cascading from probability stream to probability stream. These words barely hint at the extent of their way of being conscious. One of the ways they "invented" to share these experiences was through the use of living crystals as communications devices.

These crystals worked in the same basic way as the recording crystals described above, except that the emphasis in their structure was on a particular space/time connection, rather than the perpetuation of waves states across space/time. If you think about it, you can see the natural reflexivity of this function. When using such a crystal, the Atlantean would be transported to the experience of a specific time/space in a present tense, where the consciousness-type crystal resonated with a mindstream. Difficult distinction, I suppose, until you get used to Atlantean mind patterns.

Power Cystals

Here's the biggie: the "fire crystals." These were a wondrous technology. Basically, every power crystal was related to every other one in existence. The huge ones, made of single iron crystals placed deep within the crust of the earth formed a grid that transduced energy from large fields into "lines." These lines of power could be tapped by smaller crystals by harmonic resonance. These things were physically hot, and could glow white hot if the Atlantean using it focused that much concentration on using it. They could also explode if misused, and were for humans absolutely untouchable, as they would fry you on the spot. Relate to the Ark of the Covenant, anyone?

It was the magnificent integration of these crystals that resulted in the destruction of the Atlantean continent. The energy used in one spot on the earth's surface was far greater than that of the earth as a whole. This disparity eventually caused a premature expression of the pole shift/ice age cycle already present on the earth. It is written in certain records that this is the cause of the precession of the equinoxes, but I cannot be certain of this as actuality as it goes beyond my psi range.
