Metaphysics of Quartz Crystals
Quartz crystals have been used by healers, spiritual teachers, and scientists of the sacred throughout history to receive, transmit, store, focus, amplify, transform and balance the various forms of energy found in our Universe, all of which can be considered to be interchangeable forms of Universal Light.
Quartz crystals have this marvelous ability because, metaphysically, quartz crystal expresses the unity of the five elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether or Spirit). Crystals grow deep in the earth and form much of the earth’s crust, yet crystals, like the element air, allow light to pass through them. Crystals are fiery in that they have piezoelectric properties yet they are watery in their hexagonal molecular structure which resembles snowflakes, and in their ice-like appearance. Crystals are quintessential expressions of the element of Ether or Spirit, which is synonymous with Universal Life Force Energy, the fundamental energy that sustains all forms of energy in the known universe. Thus crystals represent the unity that underlies the apparent multiplicity of material creation, the unity of both material and spiritual worlds.
From a metaphysical viewpoint, quartz crystals are cosmic tuning forks, harmonizing the soul, mind, heart and body of the user with the vibrational frequencies of Spiritual worlds – which are after all simply realms of light resonating at a much higher frequency than the material world.
From the standpoint of quantum science and sacred geometry, everything in the known universe can be seen as a wave form.Sound, light, radio, microwaves, cosmic rays, and electro-magnetic energy, all consist of waves of energy, differing by amplitude, frequency, velocity, wavelength and other qualities.
To the metaphysician, material objects consist of crystallized light energy. Scientists have found that physical objects can be seen as particles or waves, and either model works perfectly well. Quantum physicists say that any given object can be viewed as a collection of particles, in which case, the laws of physics can predict that object’s behavior. Or the same object can be viewed as a waveform. In that case, the laws of physics can predict the object’s behavior according to that model.
Metaphysically, Universal Life Force Energy is considered the Source of all creation. This Universal Life Force Energy is called chi by the Chinese, prana by the Hindu rishis, and is the energy found in the “zero-point field” that fills outer space, according to modern American astrophysicists. These astrophysicists believe that everything that exists in the universe, from light waves to material objects, originates in the Zero Point Field, and is constructed of energy. For these scientists, like metaphysicians, energy is the primary building block of all that exists in the material Universe. Mass, inertia and physical objects are created by a universal field of energy and constructed entirely of energy. Energy is primary. Physical reality is, from their point of view, a useful illusion. In this sophisticated view of the material world, these scientists agree with the metaphysical viewpoint expressed in the world's ancient spiritual wisdom teachings.
Animistic indigenous cultures around the world have always had an intuitive, holistic view of nature and of spiritual worlds. Their wisdom traditions grasped the Gaia Theory thousands of years ago, and venerated the natural world as a Goddess. Nature’s multitudinous manifestations, elemental, mineral, vegetable, and animal, were recognized as a congregation of living, spiritual beings, and treated with appropriate respect.
Chief Seattle, in his famous 1852 letter to the white men who were to buy Indian lands said, “This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to Him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator. As we are part of the land, you too are part of the land. This earth is precious to us. It is also precious to you. One thing we know: there is only one God. No Man, be he Red Man or White Man, can be apart. We are all brothers after all."
Native Americans revere quartz crystals as the brain cells of Grandmother Earth. Viewing the Earth as a living organism, primitive stones such as granite and sandstone comprise the skeleton of the organism, the Earth’s crust is the skin. Vegetation and water channels make up the lifeblood of Earth’s body, and metals and minerals function as glands, nerves and sensory organs.
“The shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water, but the blood of our ancestors,” Chief Seattle explained. “If we sell you our land, you must remember that it is sacred. Each ghostly reflection in the clear waters of the lakes tells of events and memories in the lives of my people. The water’s murmur is the voice of my father’s father. The rivers are our brothers, They quench our thirst. They carry our canoes and feed our children. So you must give to the rivers the kindness you would give any brother.”
Quartz crystals, in this worldview, act as the Earth’s brain-mind, through which Spirit, the Universal Mind, maintains communication with all parts of Earth’s organism, equilibrating the earth’s temperature, moisture levels, and other important variables. In addition, quartz crystals and other gemstones collectively create and modulate an electromagnetic field around the Earth, which is a vital component of the Earth organism’s auric field, and clear quartz crystals, identified with white light, represent the unifying vibrational frequency that harmonizes the seven rainbow rays of Earth’s many varieties of gems and minerals, within that auric field.
Thus in the Native American tradition, any human being who can attune to the power of the quartz crystal is in tune with Grandmother Earth, and obtains the ability to communicate directly with Spiritual worlds.
