The Science Behind Crystals & Crystalline Structures


Crystals possess distinct vibrational frequencies and energy signatures, related to their unique lattice structure which can influence our body’s energy fields. These stable harmonic geometric structures are capable of storing large quantities of information, generating heat and electricity, as well as Boosting Beneficial Ions & Oxygen, which help to explain crystals potential for enhancing Health and Vitality.


In addition to their potential for Improving Health & Wellbeing, certain crystals, such as Amethyst and Clear Quartz, are highly regarded for their ability to enhance spiritual awareness and intuition. By using these crystals, you can effectively ‘tune’ the Mind, Body, & Spirit to higher frequencies.


It would seem, however, the closer we look at the human body itself, the more we recognize and understand the role, potential, and significance of the crystalline structures within our own human anatomy and physiology.

A Close Look at Crystal Structures in The Human Body


The human body contains various crystalline structures that play essential roles in its function and health. A crystal solid is a type of solid material where the atoms, molecules, or ions are organized in a systematic repeating pattern that extends across all three spatial dimensions. This systematic repeating pattern is known as a "crystal lattice."  A few examples of crystalline structures in the human body include:


Water - Crystalline Lattice of Living Light


The water within our cells could be explained as a Crystalline Lattice of Living Light, as it is organized similarly to a crystal. Water within our bodies differs from the water in a glass because it is structured. Like ice, it excludes particles and solutes during its formation. Revitalized Water, is a hexagonal crystalline lattice structure between water (liquid) and (solid) crystal, similar to ice, also known as Structured Water, Crystalline water or Hexagonal water. Revitalized, Structured, or Crystalline water creates an exclusion zone that keeps particles and solutes out.


Water, The Key To Life, a Sacred Source of Living Light, makes up over half of our body weight. Infants are born with and have a higher quantity of water within their precious bodies than do adults, and some organs, like the brain and kidneys, are composed of a higher percentage of water (around 80-85%) than others, like bones and teeth (around 20-25%). Water molecules are polar, with a slightly negative charge on the oxygen and slightly positive charges on the hydrogens. This polarity allows for the crystalline formation of hydrogen bonds between the oxygen of one water molecule and the hydrogen of another.

In Alick Bartholomew’s book Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger he writes, “Water, when it is alive, creates this spiraling, convoluting motion to retain its coolness and maintain its vital inner energies and health. It is thus able to convey the necessary minerals, trace elements and other subtle energies to the surrounding environment.”


We discuss the wonderful work and research of Viktor Schauberger, 'The Bearded Water Wizard' as well as reference a couple of his books in our blog and video: "Electroculture: Cultivating Energy From the Unified Field."


The distinct properties of Structured Water can only be explained by recognizing that it has a unique molecular arrangement. It possesses a hexagonal crystalline structure that is between that of liquid water and a solid.


We go over some ways we can potentially filter and structure water for drinking and cleansing at home a few paragraphs down.


Bone Mineralization - Hydroxyapatite Crystals


Something many people don't realize, is that our bones are composed of crystalline structures... a crystalline structure known as hydroxyapatite, which is a form of calcium phosphate. This mineral provides bones with their strength and rigidity. Similar to bones, teeth are also mineralized structures. Enamel, the outer layer of teeth, is made up of hydroxyapatite crystals, making it the hardest substance in the human body.


ree


We often work with a very Beautiful stone related to this mineral, commonly known as Apatite. Apatite is a stone that can stimulate thoughts and ideas. It is said to increase intellect, imagination, and intuitive awareness. We recommend using it as a guide to help you maintain focus, learn something new, concentrate effectively, think clearly, and communicate your truth more clearly. It may help one to integrate the emotional, intellectual, physical, and etheric bodies.

Hematite Glial Cells


Hematite, an iron oxide, has been found in the human brain, specifically in glial cells.

Hematite, a mineral form of iron oxide characterized by its reddish-brown color, has garnered significant interest in the scientific community due to its intriguing presence in various biological systems. Recent studies have revealed that hematite is not only found in geological formations but also within the human brain, particularly in glial cells, which are crucial for supporting and protecting neurons. These glial cells, which include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia, play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis, forming myelin, and participating in the immune response within the central nervous system.


ree

The discovery of hematite in glial cells raises several compelling questions regarding its function and implications for brain health. Researchers are investigating whether hematite contributes to the brain's overall iron metabolism, as iron is an essential element for various biochemical processes, including oxygen transport and energy production. However, excessive iron accumulation can lead to oxidative stress, which is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Understanding the balance of hematite and other iron compounds in the brain may provide insights into how glial cells manage iron levels and protect against potential toxicity.

Properties of Magnetic Iron Oxide (Hematite)  


 Hematite is known as a “stone for the mind”. It is used by many to bring mental organization and is very grounding. It decreases negativity and can help to balance one’s relationship between the mind, body, and, Spirit. Hematite may also assist one in mathematical pursuits as well as in the development of both mental and manual dexterity. The magnetic qualities of this stone can be attributed to Iron Oxide and are used to bring harmony to the energetic meridians within the body and to provide a stable equilibrium of the nervous system. The Iron Oxide in Hematite also contributes to its ability to help neutralize EMF emitted from our personal technology.


Furthermore, the presence of hematite in glial cells could suggest a novel mechanism by which these cells interact with their environment and respond to pathological conditions. For instance, -glial cells are known to become reactive in response to injury or disease, and the accumulation of hematite might play a role in modulating their activity. This could lead to new therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing glial function or targeting iron metabolism to mitigate the effects of neurological disorders.


ree

In addition to its potential roles in health and disease, the study of hematite in the brain also opens up avenues for exploring its origins. Researchers are examining how hematite enters the brain, whether through dietary sources, environmental exposure, or other mechanisms. The implications of these findings could extend beyond neuroscience, informing our understanding of how minerals interact with biological systems and influence health across various domains.

The identification of hematite within glial cells of the human brain is a fascinating development that invites further exploration into its biological significance. As research continues to unravel the complexities of iron metabolism and its relationship with glial cell function, we may uncover new insights that deepen our understanding of brain health and disease.



Magnetite Crystals & The Magnetic Sense


Similar to Hematite, Magnetite crystals have also been found in the human brain, and there's a possibility that they play a role in magnetoreception, the ability to sense magnetic fields. These crystals are naturally occurring and have been observed in various animals, including birds and fish, where they are believed to help with navigation. While the exact function of magnetite in the human brain is still under investigation, some researchers suggest it could be involved in a rudimentary form of magnetic sense. 


While not definitively proven, some researchers propose that human magnetite could be involved in magnetoreception, potentially influencing our sense of direction or spatial awareness. A study in BBC Science Focus Magazine found that participants experienced a drop in alpha-rhythms when the magnetic field was changed, suggesting a potential subconscious perception of magnetic fields. 


"Joe Kirschvink, a geophysicist at Caltech and one of the authors of the study, proposes a way that this could be happening inside our brains. Magnetite, iron crystals found in human cells, could be affected by the Earth’s magnetic field like miniature compass needles. It’s a phenomenon that’s been seen in many north-sensing creatures.


“Many animal tissues make tiny magnetic crystals,” Kirschvink said. “The best example is the magnetotactic bacteria. There’s enough magnetite in their cells to passively torque them into alignment with Earth’s magnetic field. So what we’re saying is that there are cells containing tiny magnetite crystals that are doing this somewhere in the nervous system and sending signals to our brain.”



It's not entirely clear how magnetite gets into the human brain. Some theories suggest it may be absorbed from the environment, while others propose it's produced internally. 



Calcite Crystals of the Third Eye or Pineal Gland


 The pineal gland, a small endocrine gland located in the brain, has garnered interest for its unique properties and functions. One of the intriguing aspects of the pineal gland is the presence of crystals, specifically Calcite crystals. Here’s a detailed overview:


 The crystals found in the pineal gland are primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is known as Calcite. These crystals are thought to form as a result of biological processes within the gland.

Photo of Calcite Crystals from "New Crystals in the Pineal Gland: Characterization and Potential Role in Electromechano-Transduction" By Baconnier Simon(1), Lang Sidney B. (2), De Seze Rene(3)

"The pineal gland has tiny little silia, hair-like extensions all around it. When you hold your breath and you finally let your breath out, and you allow that cerebral spinal fluid to accelerate, the acceleration of that cerebral spinal fluid begins to stimulate and tickle those little silia, and as they begin to become stimulated, the pineal gland begins to release very Sacred chemicals... 


And when you apply a mechanical stress, and you begin to compress those crystals, the compression of those crystals begins to produce an external electromagnetic field, and the brain goes into a superconscious super aware state...


And the brainwaves that are created are called gamma brainwave patterns. Gamma brain waves are associated with super consciousness or awareness....


And that is the release of the kundalini. "


- Dr Joe Dispenza - "Rewired" on GaiaTV



Understanding the Third Eye or Pineal Gland


The pineal gland, often referred to as the "Third Eye," plays a vital role in intuition and consciousness. This tiny cone-shaped gland sits deep within the brain and produces melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep cycles. A study from the National Sleep Foundation shows that melatonin production helps improve sleep quality, making it crucial for overall health. Moreover, many ancient cultures considered the pineal gland a spiritual gateway to higher levels of awareness.


ree

Activating the pineal gland is essential for self-discovery. By aligning your physical, mental, and spiritual energies, you can create an environment conducive to super consciousness—a state where your understanding expands beyond the ordinary.


The pineal gland is closely linked with the seventh chakra, or crown chakra, crucial for spiritual connection and enlightenment. Utilizing specific crystals along with meditation and visualization can stimulate the crystals within the pineal gland, facilitating both kundalini activation and deepened awareness.


The Role of Crystals in Kundalini Awakening


Crystals play a crucial role in the Awakening of Kundalini energy in the body, often depicted as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, symbolizing Spiritual Energy that's just Waiting To Be Awakened. For this Awakening process, a Balanced energetic environment and a strong Connection of Mind, Body, and Spirit are essential.


In addition to the Calcite Crystals within the Pineal Gland involved in this Beautiful Awakening of Divinity that occurs within the body, working with Crystals such as Calcite, Quartz, and Amethyst can significantly aid in the preparation for this Awakening. Their vibrations interact with your energy fields, helping to dissolve any blockages that would otherwise impede the flow of kundalini energy. Integrating practices like yoga, breathwork, and meditation with crystals fosters a powerful synergy that elevates your level of consciousness.


ree

Remember, the journey of awakening kundalini is profound and should be approached with care, from a Loving Balanced perspective.


Crystals serve as Supportive Tools to Deepen Our Relationship with your Inner Self during this Sacred journey.


As you strengthen your connection to the pineal gland, expanding to reach the crystalline structures throughout your entire body, you will likely notice a boost in your health and intuitive abilities. Many individuals who incorporate crystals into their daily routines report an improvement in their health, wellbeing, as well as intuitive insights.


To help enhance your intuition, consider creating rituals around your crystal collection. For instance, designate a specific crystal as your guide for the day, or use crystals to enhance the clarity of a tarot card reading. This intentional use of crystals can lead to more defined insights and promote a Balanced Connection between your Mind, Body, and Spirit.


Some effective crystals for this purpose include:



  • Calcite: Calcite, in general, is often associated with enhancing intuition and psychic abilities. Different colors of Calcite, like blue, green, and gold or yellow, can have specific associations with intuition and spiritual growth. Blue calcite is known for its calming and protective energy, while green calcite is believed to amplify psychic powers and spiritual connections. Golden calcite can enhance clarity and promote a positive emotional response. 


    ree

  • Clear Quartz: Often called the "master healer," clear quartz amplifies energy and thought, enabling stronger connections with your higher self.


ree

  • Amethyst: This stone promotes a calming effect, which helps achieve a meditative state for deeper insights.


    ree

  • Lapis Lazuli: Renowned for enhancing intuition, lapis lazuli can be particularly useful during meditation sessions aimed at unlocking inner wisdom.


ree

Incorporating these crystals into your daily practices can help activate the pineal gland and stimulate your kundalini energy.


To make the most of crystals for activating the pineal gland, consider these practical steps:


  1. Meditation with Intention: Select a crystal that speaks to you and set a clear intention before you meditate. Hold the crystal close to your third eye while focusing on your breath to deepen your experience. It may help to bring energy and focus to each of the chakras, from the Root to the Crown, to help Awaken this energy holistically in the body with balanced intentions.


  2. Crystal Grids: Design a sacred space with a crystal grid that enhances your energy flow. Arrange your chosen crystals in a spiral, star, or circular pattern near or around you to help create a harmonious environment conducive to overall Health and wellbeing, as well as Heightened Intuitive Connection and Spiritual Awareness.

By following these practices, you can effectively combine the power of Crystals with your own potential for overall Health and Wellbeing of Mind, Body, Spirit.



How to Decalcify & Recrystallize Your Pineal Gland


The pineal gland is often associated with spiritual and physical health, and some believe that calcification can hinder its function. Fluoride, often found in tap water and some dental products, can accumulate in the pineal gland, which is responsible for sleep and heightened perception. This accumulation is thought to contribute to calcification (hardening) of the gland, potentially affecting its ability to produce melatonin, regulate sleep, as well as activate our psychic sense and higher awareness. Here are some methods that are commonly suggested for decalcifying and promoting health of the pineal gland:



  • Reduce Fluoride Intake: Avoid fluoridated water and toothpaste, as fluoride is believed to contribute to calcification. We Love and use Auromere brand. Auromère is dedicated to bringing us pure, authentic, and effective Ayurvedic body care and incense products of the highest quality, made with natural ingredients and wild-crafted herbs such as Neem, chosen for their beneficial properties according to the wisdom of Ayurveda. Their mission is to bring the ancient, spiritual, traditional healing wisdom of India within reach of today’s modern, fast-paced lives.


  • Drink & Cleanse with Purified Water: Avoid drinking and showering with fluoridated tap water. Opt for fluoride-filtered, spring, or well water. Use filters specifically designed to remove fluoride, such as reverse osmosis systems or activated alumina filters. We Love and utilize AquaBliss Filters for our sink and shower.


    Anyone can boost the Purity and Ionization of water at home with Crystals and Orgone, as well as filters such as The Phi-Shaped Imploder by BeLoved Physicist/Alchemist Dan Winter of Fractal University.

  • Incorporate Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Foods high in antioxidants, such as berries, nuts, and leafy greens, may help protect and purify the Pineal Gland.


  • Consume Foods High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, and trout, as well as flaxseeds and walnuts can support brain health.


  • Increase Iodine-Rich Foods: Seaweed or Dulce and iodized salt can help in maintaining healthy gland function.


  • Heavy Metal Detox: "Toxic heavy metals are virtually everywhere, and are present in all kinds of things that we come in contact with every day, such as aluminum cans and aluminum foil, batteries, metal cookware, old paint, and even the foods we eat. For instance, pesticides and herbicides (which are hard to completely avoid even on a strict organic diet), are a common source of toxic heavy metals. As a result, most of us are carrying around heavy metals that have been with us for almost our whole lives and which have burrowed deep inside our tissues. Unfortunately, it is these “old” metals, the ones that have been lurking in our system for prolonged periods of time, that pose the greatest threat. For example, over time toxic heavy metals can oxidize, causing damage to surrounding tissue and promoting inflammation. They literally poison our bodies, and can inflict damage on virtually every system and organ, including our brain, liver, digestive system, and other parts of our nervous system..."


    ~Anthony Williams, the Medical Medium, author of multiple books on Holistic Health & Wellbeing, such as "Life-Changing Foods" , "Cleanse To Heal," &"Brain Saver"


    We can eliminate heavy metals from the body by drinking lots of purified water & incorporating a cleansing recipe.

Lifestyle Practices


  • Meditation: Regular meditation can enhance awareness and may help in Activating and Decalcifying the pineal gland. Mindfulness, Breathwork, Crystals, Nature, Music, Artwork, and Gentle Flow exercises such as Walking, Tai Chi, Dance, or Yoga are some wonderful foundations for a meditation practice. There are many methods and forms of meditation, we welcome you to find one or a few that resonates most with you.


  • Breathwork: Focused and Intentional Breathwork can help to Activate & Purify the Pineal Gland. We practice and recommend a well-studied and researched technique known as the 5-5-5 Breathing Technique, where you Breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, and release for 5 seconds. Feel free to use a number between 5 and 10 that feels most comfortable to you. When you hold your breath and finally exhale, allowing the cerebral spinal fluid to speed up, this acceleration starts to stimulate the tiny cilia. As they become activated, the pineal gland starts to release very Sacred chemicals...Compressing crystals those with a natural pressure causes them to produce an external electromagnetic field, leading the brain into a superconscious, highly aware state...


  • Sunlight Exposure: Natural sunlight helps regulate melatonin production and supports Pineal Gland health. This helps to uplift our mood, as well as helps to support our entire immune system, boosting overall health and wellbeing.


  • Reduce Stress: High stress levels can negatively affect the pineal gland; practices like mindfulness, yoga, walking, dancing, and deep breathing can be beneficial. Solfeggio Tones and Relaxing music can work wonders as well for relieving stress in the body to help improve overall health and wellbeing, as well as purify and activate the potential of your pineal.



Spiritual Practices


  • Visualization: Visualizing Light and energy around the pineal gland during meditation can promote its activation.


  • Sound Healing: Using specific frequencies such as solfeggio tones or AUM or OM chants may help in stimulating the pineal gland. You're welcome to read more about the potential of Sound Healing and Solfeggio Tones in our Blog & Video "432Hz: A Harmonic Fractal Frequency of Creation"



Decalcifying and enhancing the pineal gland's function involves a holistic approach that includes dietary changes, supplements, lifestyle practices, detoxification, and spiritual practices. It is a good idea to Consult with your own Higher Self and Self-Healing Intuitive body, as well as a healthcare professional if you feel so called, before making significant changes to your diet or supplement routine.

Awakening Your Divine Crystalline Heart


The first organ to form in the human embryo was not the brain, but the Heart... being the center of the Torus, from which we all evolved. 

 

"Remembering that the first human organ to form in the womb was not the brain,

 

but the heart, the still point…

 

the Higher Heart, the Torus Heart.

 

Thus, an electro-magnetic field begins to envelop the embryo that You were,

 

You became a magnet…an invitation for duality to set in, blanketing You with its counter-rotating fields: 

 

electro is the principle of male energy, that which draws out…

 

magneto is the principle of female energy, that which draws in…

 

and the core is the Torus Heart, it is the spark plug…

 

the lightning bolt that connects the Above to the Below.

 

All Memory, which is vibrationally stored in Shape, in Crystal, and all Blood, which is DNA, must pass through its Gates…"

Our hearts have truly incredible potential for Life, Love, and Creation. Of the many amazing things they can do, our hearts may even have the potential to transform into a crystal...


There are sacred crystalline relics which are said to originate from masters who have dedicated their entire lives to spiritual practices focused on the welfare of all beings. Every part of their body, including their relics, is imbued with positive energy to inspire goodness and diminish negativity. "These relics are precious," states Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the spiritual director of the Federation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), a Buddhist organization established by Tibetan monks Lama Thubten Yeshe and his principal disciple, Lama Zopa, in 1975.


Lama Zopa possesses a rare collection of Buddhist relics, which he shares through exhibitions worldwide. The Maitreya Project Heart Shrine relics, gathered by Lama Zopa, have been showcased at temples and meditation centers.

[ According to Buddhaghosa, the Buddha's relics (sarira) came in three types: "like jasmine buds, like washed pearls, and like (nuggets) of gold". ] 


It is believed that when a spiritual master is cremated, beautiful pearl-like crystals are discovered among the ashes. Tibetans refer to these crystals as "ringsel" or "sarira" and believe they embody the Living Essence of the spiritual master. These pearl-like formations are seen as a reflection of the master's inner purity.


These objects are highly prized and supposed to be a sign of divinity.


Although the term śarīra can be used to refer to a wide variety of Buddhist relics, as listed above, it is generally used to refer to pearl or crystal-like bead-shaped objects that are purportedly found among the cremated ashes of Buddhist spiritual masters.


Buddhists hold the belief that these relics allow for a spiritual connection with Buddha. Observing these sacred relics can inspire them to cultivate loving kindness and promote peace globally.


These objects are considered relics of significant importance in many sects of Buddhism since they are believed to embody the spiritual knowledge, teachings, realizations or living essence of spiritual masters. They are taken as evidence of the masters' enlightenment and spiritual purity. Some believe that śarīras are deliberately left by the consciousness of a master for veneration, and that the Beauty of the śarīras depends on how well the masters had cultivated their mind and souls. Śarīra come in a variety of colours, and some are even translucent.


The occurrence of śarīra is not restricted to ancient times, and many Buddhists have shown that śarīra are not limited to humans or masters. Many texts of Pure Land Buddhism report śarīras of many adherents, some occurring recently. Some Buddhists associate a student's spiritual life with the amount and condition of the śarīra they leave after cremation. Many Pure Land Buddhists believe Amitābha's power manifests cremated remains into śarīra. Many claim that pearls of śarīra rain at the funerals of eminent monks. There are reports that śarīra may appear, multiply or disappear, depending on a keeper's thoughts. One's vow may also be important. One legend holds that the translator Kumārajīva wanted to demonstrate that his translations were not false; as a result his tongue remained intact after cremation.

Sariras are typically displayed in a glass bowl inside small gold urns or stupas as well as enshrined inside the master's statue. Śarīras are also believed to mysteriously multiply while inside their containers if they have been stored under favorable conditions. Saffron threads are sometimes placed within or around the bowl containing individual śarīra as an offering.

What are some ways we can help to Enlighten or Awaken our Divine Crystalline Heart?


Many of our ancestors understood that their actions had far-reaching consequences, and they cultivated a deep sense of responsibility towards their fellow beings and the cosmos. Below are some of the ways the elders have shared to help us Awaken our Divine Crystalline Heart ~


  • Let go of the weight we carry in our hearts ~ such as unresolved issues, unfulfilled desires, the weight of broken dreams and promises

  • Forgive Yourself and Others

  • Embrace Love, Light, and Faith

  • Encourage the Hearts and Spirits of others

Certain rituals are a profound reflection of the values held by ancient cultures, prioritizing spiritual integrity over material wealth. As an example, The 'Weighing of the Heart' against the Feather of Maat, an Ancient Ritual of Predynastic Egypt, was not merely a physical act or ritual; it was a deeply symbolic representation of a person's life choices and moral integrity. The feather, Light and pure, symbolized the ideals of truth and righteousness. If an individual's heart was found to be as Light as the feather, it was believed that their soul would be granted passage into the afterlife, a realm where they could experience eternal peace and fulfillment. You're welcome to read more about this Sacred Ritual in our blog and video "Bridging The Science & Spirituality of Pyramids as Advanced Crystal Technology"


Here, we share an excerpt from An Ancient Egyptian Teaching

by John Van Auken titled

"A Lite Heart"~


[  ..."Do we have Light hearts? Or are we carrying around a lot of unresolved issues, unfulfilled desires, the weight of broken dreams and promises, or whatever is weighing on us?


The Edgar Cayce readings tell the story of an Egyptian high priest named Ra Ta who, at a very old age and in decrepit condition, was able to rejuvenate himself and live another one hundred years in order to work on the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza. When Cayce was asked how this priest rejuvenated his aged body, he answered: “through the casting aside of the years of toil and strife through which the body of Ra-Ta itself had passed.” In order words, by letting go of the things that had aged him.


We tend to hold on to our pain, our suffering, our sacrifices, and our regrets. All of which age us and weigh our hearts down. Forgive and forget is a much healthier prescription. Such rejuvenation was not done in one day or in one thought; it took Ra Ta seven years to fully rejuvenate himself. It will likely take us as long.


    When in deep trance attunement to the Universal Consciousness, Cayce was asked to give some Light on the word 'heart.' He replied in this fashion: "As in the physical body the heart is considered the source that impels life to all portions of the body. In that sense, then, one seeks God’s help in creating a pure heart, a pure soul, a pure purpose in body and mind, that one may bring Life, Light, understanding, to those contacted -- as does the heart to the body. The heart is used to signify that purpose, that intent, that life. It represents an entity, a body, a mind; an imaginative being that through the conscious and subconscious or soul forces brings life to all contacted. As in: “Create within me a pure heart, O God, and RENEW a right, righteous, holy spirit within me.”


    In his teachings about actions and reactions, he encourages us to achieve a Light heart by helping the hearts of those we meet and share life with be Lighter: “Keep thy smile of encouragement to others; for it Lightens the heart of many.”


    In a reading for a member of one of his groups, Cayce gave this insight and encouragement about keeping our light shining: “Thy light hath gone out before the darkness in the lives of many. Keep that light burning in thy own heart. Grow not weary in well doing. Let thy heart open to those things that bespeak the closeness of His walks, His talks with thee. Thy Light of Love and faith and hope and thought will not lose its reward in Him. For whom He loves He comforts, every one.”


    A Light heart, both in weight and luminescence, is an important part of our personal spirituality. How do we achieve such? The answer is by being often in prayer, meditation, and doing good for others.

    In his parable of the seeds of the word of God sown along the roadside of life, Jesus says that the seeds that fall “in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.”


A good heart in patience is the important point here. Letting go of what weighs our hearts down is achieved with patience. We cannot jump straight out of our present condition into our hoped-for goal. We proceed from where we are to that goal, step by step, little by little, day by day, one situation at a time.


Whether we have a week to live or many years, today is the time to begin to Lighten and enlighten our hearts and the hearts of those around us. Cayce commented that “some grow old gracefully, some tolerantly, some fussily, and some very meanly.” The key factor may well be patience." ]

May All learn to welcome more Love and Light into our Divine Crystalline Hearts and the hearts of those we connect with. <3
