| Light will pass through it with distortion except the normal refraction from the glass vessel in which it is contained. The water is then evaporated until a state of super saturation is reached which means that the sodium chloride molecules moving around in the water are getting closer and closer together. Finally super-saturation is reached and the molecules begin to bump. The free space has been reduced and they hit, they fuse. They lock into place and precipitation - a falling out of solution - is reached. When they fall out of solution that is precipitation, it is a polycrystal (poly meaning many different directions). Next, a polycrystalline particle is mounted on the tip of a silver or copper wire, and is put into a saturated solution. Says Vogel, "These molecules are now jiggling together, but they're not bumping or crowding into each other. The moment you put that crystal in, the outer face of the crystal dissolves and suddenly a remarkable thing takes place: From that melt of the crystal, an information has been transported to the fluid to say, 'I am ready to grow into the form I am to be.' It releases a consciousness. And then, as you hold your temperature constant, the thing will start to accrete one unit cell at a time. "A crystal is an assemblage of molecules which form a unit cell of its identity in space, and from that unit cell a consciousness is given to it. Once that consciousness enters that unit cell, it draws to itself the replication of its image." While the unit cell of sodium chloride is cubic (four-sided), quartz has a hexagonal (six-sided) form. Quartz grows in a right-handed spiral from the nucleating site of a small trace of silica. As the spiral emerges, the quartz terminates to form a face. This process continues until its "memory" is realized, and all six faces are formed. This is the completion of the crystal's growth. Says Vogel, "It has come to the end of its life. Its work is done, and it's time to move on. It leaves its shell - the remnants of its growth - what we call quartz crystal. To put life back into the crystal, you need but breathe on it. Breath initiates the vibrating, oscillating action that brought the crystal into being. This is a very important statement because a crystal, by itself, runs down. The energy fades and one then must reinvigorate it or recharge the battery. "The first step that one goes through is to clear the crystal from previous vibrations or, when just in storage, the vibrations accreted onto the crystal. This is done, by holding the tips of the crystal in one's hand between the thumb and the middle finger. One takes two fingers from the other hand and places them on two opposite faces, draws ones breath in and pulses the breath out through the nostrils. You then go on to the other pair of faces and do the same thing. This is true of the crystal cut to four sides. If the crystal has been cut with more faces, one does it for each pair. The crystal is now clear. We can measure this clarity with the instrumentation that we have in the laboratory, and find only the fundamental vibration of the crystal, which is 454. | |
