Some Amazing Discoveries

Crystal lights in Tibet
We found a great story which is an extract from the Bihar and Orissa Research Journal (vol 26-2), written by Captain V.D. Auvergne, in 1897, after returning from an extended far Eastern tour. It is an interesting account of how ancient wisdom allowed crystals to be used, not only in their natural form, but in this case crystals and sound were used together to produce artificial light.

"After entering the gates at the mouth of the cave, we had sunlight following us for 30 or 40 yards. Then, turning a bend, I observed what seemed to be a huge chamber, but it was in almost total darkness. At the entrance of this chamber, our guide, the Che-sho priest, reached down to the ground and picked up a mental gong, about 9 inches in diameter, attached to the gong was a small wooden hammer.

The gong appeared to be made of polished bronze and a thin thread of highly ornamental and decorative tracing of silver inlays ran all through it. The priest raised the wooden hammer, and struck the gong firmly, just once. I was startled to see some half a dozen lights of a strange green glow, slowly coming into my vision. They shone dimly at first, but after about a minute, the lights had grown in intensity to about 500 candle power each. These lights were placed some 20 feet apart along the walls of the gallery and they hung from a kind of wooden basket about five feet above the ground.

When I approached one of the lights, I found that it was only a piece of common stone crystal about 4 inches in diameter, placed on a plate of some kind of grey stone or mental, this plate was about half an inch thick and about 12 inches in diameter.

All these wooden cages housing the lights were secured by bronze wire loops, extending from an arm at right angles, mounted on a wooden stake in the floor. All over and around the sides of the base plate, there was that ornamental tracing of fine lines of gold, in hieroglyphic forms resembling the character of typical cave writing.

The Che-sho priest willingly informed me that the sound of the gong penetrated the mental plate from which a vibrating force emanated. He said that it had the effect of infusing the crystal particles to produce a bright luminous glow, gradually growing to a certain intensity in accordance with the volume of vibrating resound. According to the priest, if the gong had been struck with the mental hammer, the glow would have been so great that the human eye could not withstand it without some effective protection. Yet neither the crystal nor the plateproduced even the slightest bit of heat."

Ancient Radio, TV and X-rays
Transmitting sound and images over long distances is nothing new either. Our specific use of energy has in a way limited us in our design and development of transmitting technology.

Studies of ancient civilisation, like those of Central and South America, tell how (for instance) in one small Mayan temple, "a pedestal formed of a shining substance resembling glass - around which the ancient priests gathered and consulted pictures created in the transparent black crystal. Even the descendants of the Mayans, as chronicled by the central American researcher A. Brasseur de Bourbourg, "A native informed me that their ancestors had known the gift of the vision stone, when his people were instructed in the secret art of civilisation."

Spanish historians recorded in Peru, at the time of the Spanish invasion of the Inca empire; "When the captured the King, the Queen and priests immediately fled to the Temple of the Sun at Cuzco, where they communicated with other regents of the continent, to decide what should be done. The communicated by gazing and speaking into a black mirror situated at the centre of the temple."

It is significant that the Inca temples, like the Temple of the Sun and the Mayan temples and pyramids are all situated on the earth energy lines. Did the ancients possess the ability to transmit voice and image messages along these lines, using crystal lenses as screens? Did they know how to use specific centres to transform the images into energy and to recover them again as a picture? Was this ancient TV without the use of electricity?

Priests of many cultures and sects were chosen as the keepers of wisdom. Secrets and knowledge was handed down from prehistoric time. These holy men often wore, (or possessed) amulets, sceptres or bejewelled plates, which acted as oracles or voice-pieces which provided advice and wisdom as well as unexplainable energy and magical powers. A good example would be the Urim and Thummin gemstones of the Hebrew high priests. Not only voice but images too, were transmitted over great distances. Reputedly ancient mystical orders and societies (like the Rosicrucians) possessed radio telecommunication abilities, between their sanctuaries and lodges, already in early medieval times.

The Ancient Chinese were well aware that placing crystals over certain acupuncture points of the body, aided in the healthy flow of physical and psychic energies. The Emperor Tsin Shi, who reigned from 259 - 210 BC, is reputed to have possessed a special crystal plate at his palace in Hein'Yang at Shensi. This mirror-like crystal plate illuminated the bones of the body when a person stepped behind it. It was rectangular in shape, measuring 4 ft by 5ft 9 inches and it glowed on both sides. It appeared that placing of the hand over the heart somehow activated the crystal, whereby the persons' inner parts were clearly shown, and diagnosis of illness could be made.

Two hundred and fifty years earlier, Jivaka, a Hindu sage, was also said to have had "a large jewel", which "illuminated the body like a lamp lights up a house", and from which nothing within could be hidden by any intervening obstacle. Similarly, the Shamans, medicine men, of the Hopi Indians of the North American South-West, used crystals to observe the energy centres of the body, and could tell when physical currents or energies were impeded causing ill-health. These crystals also were said to have the power to be energises in influencing events, including preventing bad weather, when concentrated on.

Using crystals as an integral component of transmitting radio waves without electrical power, was incorporated into "toy" crystal sets, as you may recall. Now we are beginning to rediscover the true value of crystals as frequency controllers, transmitters, oscillators, collectors and resonators, for use in radio and telecommunication.
