ABSOLUTE CRYSTALLIZATION is a conceptual thought process and projection utilized in the religion of confusion which denies the Unity of All (One), and which speaks of spirit and matter as being one separate each, or two, or more and still within the context of One. At the same time it is said by some that the INNER-SELF is the programmer (or recreation and amusement specialist) of one's outer-self and very existence beyond that which exists as a result of Creation.

CRYSTALS are a natural means of achieving daily moments of inner peace through the implementation of (crystal aroused) mind expansion. The earliest meaning is "Frozen Ice", but it soon acquires its primary significance; for healing and protection and as a tool for seeing. Several Scottish clans had crystals as a STONE OF VICTORY. The water in which these stones are washed is said to have medicinal value. CRYSTAL is used powdered as a medicine and as a burning glass in operations. It is also employed as a tool for divination; sometimes as a substitute for diamonds or polished coal. More crystals at Planet Yachats. (Also see: MAGNETS and/or magnetic forces).
