Title: BLACK TOURMALINE AND OTHER GEMS AND CRYSTALS
Post by: Anonymous on October 03, 2008, 12:46:06 PM
What's up with 'em?

Do you use them?

For what?

I  used to a long time back. Had quite the collection.

But there;s nothing wrong with a little grounding for a psychonaut, hence the black tourmaline.

So what exactly do they do?

Are there any rock, gems, crystals or minerals that have real powers? Like omitting positive ions or storing some form of energy or something?

Real power?

I think so. Subtle but real.

Maybe only as much power as you give them......

"The Tao described in words is not the real Tao"

Ahhh... A Taoist!

Wonderful!


The people are happy and content,
As if it were springtime.
I am tranquil and placid,
Like a cloud which has yet to rained.

The people have enough to spare,
I am alone and appear to possess nothing.

The people are witty and certain,
What a fool I am!
Do I not appear dim and confused.
Aimless as a wave drifting across the seas
Attached to nothing...
Nature feeds me.

This is the nature of Teotzlcoatl.

Not really any kind of 'ist. More of a psychedelian than anything and a registered non-prophet.

So gems, crystals, stones?

Magical Shamanic objects?

Man- o-man....

I haven't tried to be cryptic in this thread. Crystals receive and store energy, imo.  You can charge the stone by holding in your hand, hence the comment they have as much power as you give them. Different stones vibrate at different frequencies. When I hold  crystal in my hand, I can usually feel the subtle energy. If nothing else, crystals are yet another tool (like entheogens) to help focus the mind.  

Btw, we don't like to be labeled, Taoist.
