So we use them as tools, not superstitiously as amulets. They are a means of storing the energies of our [[decree]]s and devotions. And whenever an ascended master may so choose, he may charge or endow a stone with light. | So we use them as tools, not superstitiously as amulets.

=== Focuses for meditation === | |||
Crystals and gemstones may also be used as focuses for meditation. [[Lanello]] says: | |||
<blockquote>Now you perceive the wonder of celestial bodies, of the [[Venus (the planet)|evening star]], of man’s outer adoration become the blazing glory of man’s inner realization. Behold a celestial sphere suspended in spacelessness around the heart! Behold the heart suspended in the timelessness of the sphere! Behold the entering in to the Holy of Holies as man becomes God cycle by cycle, year by year! As you contemplate the wonder of the spiral nebula of being moving into the center of our oneness, you penetrate the world of crystalline dimensions. Of chalcedony, agate, and chrysoprase. Of kunzite, sphalerite, labradorite, and [[alexandrite]]. Of [[ruby]], [[sapphire]], [[diamond]], [[emerald]], and [[aquamarine]]. Such are the geometric crystallizations of the Christ mind and of the soul that has begun the mastery of Life all one—of Life as Mother flow into the schemata of the Elohim here below.</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>Now, inasmuch as the energies of God coalesce in form according to the patterns of crystal,<ref>Quartz that is transparent or nearly so and that is either colorless or only slightly tinged; a body that is formed by the solidification of a chemical element, a compound, or a mixture and has a regularly repeating internal arrangement of its atoms and often external plane faces. (All solids, however, with minor exceptions, have orderly internal atomic arrangements and so are classed as crystals.)</ref> I urge you to meditate upon all aspects of crystal which the [[elemental]]s have defined in their role as instruments for the handiwork of the Mother. Yes, I say, meditate upon crystal forms that are revealed by a microscope as well as to the naked eye. And in following these lines of force, your consciousness will always return to the point of origin—the point of the flame and the nexus of the source that is in the eye of the flame.<ref>{{CCO}}, chapter 9.</ref></blockquote> | |||
