Chapter 3.
The Spiral Path: Awakening the power of Stone

Lammas 1999

In my first Crystal Henge article, Lifting the Veil of Light (Imbolc 1998), I established for the sake of argument the following propositions:

a. Nature is continuous and self-connected.
b. All matter is energy.
c. Aether / ether is a continuum which fills all space in the universe.
d. Aether may be imprinted upon by thought.

Many ancient civilizations recognized these truths. In the construction of giant stone circles, pyramids and temples, location and design captured and reflected the 'known' macrocosm, much like a polished sunstone reflects a miniature sun from its surface.

The Celts reflected their own faith in these truths through the siting of astronomically orientated places of spiritual gathering along defined 'channels' of naturally flowing earthly currents of energy.

The Egyptian alignment of the Great Pyramid likewise shows both heavenly orientation and geomantic placement, whilst the Chinese perfected the art of reflecting the harmony of heaven - wind and earth - water, through the science of Feng Shui.

 

 

Stones, in and of themselves, possess the attributes of memory, containment and radiation. Alligned to harness existing energy currents, standing stones are capable of manifesting etheric portals. Such portals may be connected to numerous others, often thousand of kilometers away and may even be capable of extra-planetary alignment.

Inter-dimensional or otherworldly contact is only one aspect associated with standing stones. Even a casual visit to such a site will prove that stones possess memory of that which has gone before. Ancient Atlanteans are reputed to have utilized the common quartz to store vast quantities of information. Not only did they use stone as a repository for arcane knowledge, they also used light generating crystals to effect healing and eventually self-destruction.
