who or what is prompting or facilitating the transfer of whatever, in your opinion?
Hmm well I don't pretend to fully understand it, nor do I necessarily "believe" it - it's more of a magickal meta-belief kind of thing - but I like to think of each crystal's atomic structure as its' energetic signature, or configuration. A light-grid, if you will.
(In parts of South America crystals are described as
luz solidificada, "solidified light".)
Very much like psychedelic molecules, which are similarly specific manifestations of light/energy - tho the actual cosmic significance of their structures remains highly obscure
So I don't really know what the situation is. Perhaps it is purely the resonance between the living cells of my body and the subtle energetic vibration of the mineral. Perhaps crystals contains a kind of holographic deva or spirit or entity, like those that some feel reside in plants...
Attempting to articulate how crystals work for me is very frustrating as I feel bereft of a vocabulary untainted by vague New-Age associations or residues. I am very conscious of the stupidity of most New Age thought/culture, and do not want to be associated with it.
I have no inclination whatsoever to somehow "quantify" my experiences - it's a personal thing, if it works for you, great, if it doesn't, then find something that does
All I know is that when I breathe gratitude through Fulgurite - a hollow tube of melted sand formed when lightning kisses the desert - the Universe receives it
