(MY BESTEST OF FRIENDS,MY CRYSTAL..)

Written by: 2<Caleb 1<J>1 Reeves>2 11/19/2023

Interested in Crystals and the mystical powers,traits and manifestationforces they hold?!?!?! If so,(Check out my paper and study i did on crystals & theire healing properties as well as historical orgins and energetic qualities and outputted frequncies.)


Crystals intake surrounding energies and magnify or change Energies applied to it. Crystals & Mimerals are conscience entitiesof there own and think,feel & is emotionally and energeticlly conscienceof the energy,intentions and thoughts of external frequncies and vibrations. I treat my Crystals and Stones like they are my friends. I have an intimate relationship with them and talk to them, love them and depend on them,the exact same way a human friend would interact with one another,thus electrifying my manifestingcreative mimd as well as my energy points and thouhhts and vibes.
Crystals for healing the body with its geometric form & light intake can help to balance everything about an external intention or thought,it has a compatible connection to the human electromatic field thus triggering a reaction to the bodies different chakra energy points and primarily influences the nervous system and stimulates the endocrine glands.
Crystals can activate portals through vibration and frequency which amplifies the chakras through our personal electromagnetic fields thus being amplified while connecting to our senses and accesses multi-dimensional fields of Consciousness,Knowledge & Wisdom. The technology of crystals takes energy input and transforms the energy into heightened energy or a different type of vibrational energy altogether.
Crystals create personal energy vibrations through the different colors from invisible light you called the dick that is the most disposition to become a Crystal healer in to connect to the crystal using telepathy they must first undergo 11 to 12 years of training and spiritual practice before they even touch a crystal in the Native teachings and culture way of life. they consider younger people that are considered gifted to be worthy enough to train them for 11 to 12 years how to read and speak to Crystal's, but they don't pick up a crystal for 11 to 12 years. They have to learn the spirituality and the technological traits of the crystal. Crystals can heal in all aspects , but not limited to, emotional, spiritual and, mental, which makes crystals one of the most advanced natural technological devices known to current understanding of the nature of frequencies and energy within the crystals consciousness. Crystals were all used in the cultures and civilizations of the mayans, the ancient chinese, and the ancient native americans as security on front doors and gates to important buildings or areas. They would keep a Stone or Crystal at top of the door, thus keep out any unwanted energy and / or vibrations.
Knowledge of how crystals truly work have been lost over the last several centuries. There still are some elders that have the knowledge and wisdom of the mysical properties,teachings and healing traits of the crystals,stones and gems.,the knowledge and wisdom these ancient civilizations once held and obtained was honestly priceless,Crystals can be used to utilize certain goals or intentions in one's life. It is said that, crystals,gems and Stones can also help strengthen, obtain, and learn, new states of awareness, for consciousness and informational briefings from the crystals conscience to yours.
One can indulge in the experience of crystals by hold. ing them, rubbing them, entering them in a cup of water ,by then drinking the water,or Wearing them as jewelry. It is said that women should wear stones,on the right side of the body,while Men,vise versa,on the opposite. When using or wearing crystals we should indulge in researching what energetic properties the crystal has and what you're trying to accomplish by using the crystal, with that being said, try to match up the energy beimg put out from the crystal, to the energy you are looking to magnify, or change ,then connecting it to the correct chakra ,or where you should be wearing or placing the crystal at,upon your body when healing. Crystals can also be used to help us with Lucid or vivid dreams as well as magnifying personal awareness/consciousness al9mg with psychic gifts.
Crystals can also be a simple way to ground. One that can read crystals and consciously connect to them can tell you what the crystal should be used for as far as energy properties and frequencies outputted by the crystal. The best results stem from finding crystals out in nature, on your own ,thus giving you a more personal and authentic connection to the crystal or having it to be a true gift, from somebody with the intention of helping and/or healing,Buying crystals takes the energetic and personal connections away from the overall energetic and spiritual Mystic properties of crystal. Think of it as a persnal relationship,in othef words you want this connection to be real,authentic and pure,Think of it like slavery, crystals are conscious and feel and think through energy and frequency,which in meaning,selling them to somebody for a financial benefit is almost like running a slave Farm. LOL that's just my take on crystals and how much more meaningful it is to obtain the crystal through a more pure and loving type of way.
For better results on energetic output from the crystal you are working with it is ideal to meditate, frequently communicate, and share your personality to the crystal. What can you do for the Crystal and what can the crystal do for you. Using telepathy to communicate with your Crystal is ideal for a better personal connections to desired crystal. Also, sleeping with the crystal also brings different perspectives to the energy output,due to the fact that your mind and energy is in a different state while sleeping compared to being consciously awake which in meaning youre experiencing two fiferrent realities and energy planes,you are in a differnet electromagnetic plane within the two different realities differently and dimensions,being unconsciously aware rather than being woke and conscious will brimg you two dufferent energized connections amd results. For best results working with crystals trusting the crystals energy and intentions towards your energy and frequency is ideal for best results.
In the Native American culture, within entirety, dates back over 127,000 years, and have the best conscience and reliable memorable wisdom and information towards the spiritual,mental and physical connection of thebcrystals, in the native belief system there is the idea of everything being created has been Created from a Crystal, Cherokee Indian beliefs states, that at the center of the universe there is one single crystal while then constituting a singularity divine connection of/from "source","God","Creator" "Universe".. ect, as it is foretold,the crystal is the center for the creative and manifestive reality plane if physical,spiritual and divine reality, In the geometry of the Crystal,it has a connecting point from every corner of the crystal,said to consist of having seven connecting points that reach out to seven other points simultaneously over and over and over again thus coming to a state of infinite possibilities, realities and experiences. There is an unlimited and infinite amount of connection points which all stem from the one original Centerpoint Crystal that branches off in seven different ways. Think of it as being a Matrix of crystals throughout the entire universe connected to one another and everythimg else in existence holding all information consciencely and as you know the entirety of our universe is created on information and taking,learning and processing that information through its connect points, all which then in retrospective,stemming from one specific epicenter and beginning to unfathomable simultaneous connect points. This is how you use crystalss to manifest your persnal reality. Basically long story short,crystals have the power of creating and manifesting any desired experience, thought,or outcome,Crystals are information,unibersal intensions,amd synchronization from one conscience to another resulting in ONE big conscience entity,these functions and properties will positively boost your intentions and physical reality. What you TRULY AND PURELY believe through the Mystic power if your Crystal shall manifest right before your eyes,but the key point to take from the manifestive concept of reality is that one MUST TRULY believe wholeheartedly that what thoughts are stemming out from personal conscience to crystal conscience is %100 believed and thouhht be person usikg crystal powers to mmagnify and manifest certain outcomes,experiences and realities,The information stored in crystals is a way to connect and manifest information, crystals comes from the One Source... Ancient beliefs claim that in the center of the universe,there lyes, one single primordial Crystal,thus branching off seven differnt ways and to seven different while reoccurring infinitly simultaneously over and over again resulting in infinte possibilities and realities. Crystal manifestimg creates and illuminates future physical reality as well as current personal reality along with parallel dimensional realities and parallel realities within parallel universes.
On ending thoughts,my crystal is my A-1,Ride or die Partner,my Bonnie to my Clyde, and I don't ever have to impress it or be a certain way or image,because my Crystals are here to help,guide and magnify my manifestation to my projected experience jnto a desired reality i intend to experience and already are experiencing im my day to day life. I'm sure there is much much more information regarding the alledgelly lost and forgotten ancient orgins of crystals and the energetic properties they bring to the world and the oneness of our universe.
Final thought being,if ancient civilizations used crystals thousands of years ago and depended on the drastically why wouldn't we take advantage is the energetic,frequncey based objects?? And how did they know that these crystals help with such mysticism and homogeneous based origins, especially when they did not have scientifically based research structures embedded within their civilizations and societies? In my opinion and in conclusion, it's because crystals are a Mystic Relic that have a universal conscience and these ancient civilizations knew this long before there was any type of scientific studies regarding vibrational frequencies and energy output. It's because they connected to these crystals and they wholeheartedly 100% depended on the energy output of the Crystal and that right there is proof enough for me that crystals are a Mystic Relic that can change and transform your life. Hope you enjoyed. Much love, much respect and all the loyalty to the purpose and cause.

I'm Very interested and intrigued with remote viewing and I think I would be pretty good at it. If anybody knows any resources to obtain knowledge and practices of this skill, drop something in the comment box. I've watched episodes on Gaia, as well as youtube, but I feel like this is something that you need to be taught and guided with,in person training and experience,in better terms,MENTORED. 👀 👁‍🗨 🧠

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood."
" Mary curry, first woman to win a Nobel Prize" (PHYSICS)

Life of an Empath. 🫶🏽💯

Albert & his otherworldly wisdom & knowledge at its best!!! We must become more aware and conscious to come out from this veil of darkness that's been stowed upon us unconsciously & secretivly. We must broaden our speculations on self awareness on a personal level as sell as a collective level. We MUST rise together put of the ashes. We must love the evil to death so be it thier will be jo more evil. We must prevail family. We must prevail. It's our ONLY option,or live on to the bitter ends,slavery,entrapment,and misery with no choice of freedom. We must break this modern and current cycle and narrative. Together we are strong and together we will overcome the matrix they've created to keep us at a projected level of self awareness. We no longer need the psychopaths to write our story for us and make our decisions for us. We have to get our self awareness back and create a singulaity of one whole collective conscience that can overcome the evil darkness and manipulation that has been cazted upon us. Everything in darkness does come to light. And with the brightness of light everything in darkness will come to light. One love.

(25 ways to kill the toxic ego that will ruin your life)
By: Ryan Holiday
SOURCE: (MEDIUM)"Published in Thrive Global"



1. Adopt the beginner’s mindset. “It is impossible to learn that which one thinks one already knows,” Epictetus says. When we let ego tell us that we have arrived and figured it all out, it prevents us from learning. Pick up a book on a subject you know next to nothing about. Walk through a library or a bookstore — remind yourself how much you don’t know.

2. Focus on the effort — not the outcome. With any creative endeavour at some point what we made leaves our hands. We can’t let what happens after that point have any sway over us. We need to remember famous coach John Wooden’s advice: “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” Doing your best is what matters. Focus on that. External rewards are just extra.

3. Choose purpose over passion. Passion runs hot and burns out, while people with purpose — think of it as passion combined with reason — are more dedicated and have control over their direction. Christopher McCandless was passionate when he went “into the wild” but it didn’t work well, right? The inventor of the Segway was passionate. Better to have clear-headed purpose.

4. Shun the comfort of talking and face the work. “Void,” Marlon Brando once said, “is terrifying to most people.” We talk endlessly on social media getting validation and attention with fake internet points avoiding the uncertainty of doing the difficult and frightening work required of any creative endeavour. As creatives we need to shut up and get to work. To face the void — despite the pain of doing so.

5. Kill your pride before you lose your head. “Whom the gods wish to destroy,” Cyril Connolly wrote, “they first call promising.” You cannot let early pride lead you astray. You must remind yourself every day how much work is left to be done, not how much you have done. You must remember that humility is the antidote to pride.

6. Stop telling yourself a story — there is no grand narrative. When you achieve any sort of success you might think that success in the future is just the natural and expected next part of the story. This is a straightforward path to failure — by getting too cocky and overconfident. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, reminds himself that there was “no aha moment” for his billion-dollar behemoth, no matter what he might read in his own press clippings. Focus on the present moment, not the story.

7. Learn to manage (yourself and others). John DeLorean was a brilliant engineer but a poor manager (of people and himself). One executive described his management style as “chasing colored balloons” — he was constantly distracted and abandoning one project for another. It’s just not enough to be smart or right or a genius. It’s gratifying to be the micromanaging egotistical boss at the center of everything — but that’s not how organizations grow and succeed. That’s not how you can grow as a person either.

8. Know what matters to you and ruthlessly say no to everything else. Pursue what the philosopher Seneca refers to as euthymia — the tranquility of knowing what you are after and not being distracted by others. We accomplish this by having an honest conversation with ourselves and understanding our priorities. And rejecting all the rest. Learning how to say no. First, by saying no to ego which wants it all.

9. Forget credit and recognition. Before Bill Belichick became the four-time Super Bowl–winning head coach of the New England Patriots, he made his way up the ranks of the NFL by doing grunt work and making his superiors look good without getting any credit. When we are starting out in our pursuits we need to make an effort to trade short-term gratification for a long-term payoff. Submit under people who are already successful and learn and absorb everything you can. Forget credit.

10. Connect with nature and the universe at large. Going into nature is a powerful feeling and we need to tap into it as often as possible. Nothing draws us away from it more than material success. Go out there and reconnect with the world. Realize how small you are in relation to everything else. It’s what the French philosopher Pierre Hadot has referred to as the “oceanic feeling.” There is no ego standing beneath the giant redwoods or on the edge of a cliff or next to the crashing waves of the ocean.

11. Choose alive time over dead time. According to author Robert Greene, there are two types of time in our lives: dead time, when people are passive and waiting, and alive time, when people are learning and acting and utilizing every second. During failure, ego picks dead time. It fights back: I don’t want this. I want ______. I want it my way. It indulges in being angry, aggrieved, heartbroken. Don’t let it — choose alive time instead.

12. Get out of your own head. Writer Anne Lamott knows the dangers of the soundtrack we can play in our heads: “The endless stream of self-aggrandizement, the recitation of one’s specialness, of how much more open and gifted and brilliant and knowing and misunderstood and humble one is.” That’s what you could be hearing right now. Cut through that haze with courage and live with the tangible and real, no matter how uncomfortable.

13. Let go of control. The poisonous need to control everything and micromanage is usually revealed with success. Ego starts saying: it all must be done my way — even little things, even inconsequential things. The solution is straightforward. A smart man or woman must regularly remind themselves of the limits of their power and reach. It’s simple, but not easy.

14. Place the mission and purpose above you. During World War II, General George Marshall, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for the Marshall Plan, was practically offered the command of the troops on D-Day. Yet he told President Roosevelt: “The decision is yours, Mr. President; my wishes have nothing to do with the matter.” It came to be that Eisenhower led the invasion and performed with excellence. Marshall put the mission and purpose above himself — an act of selflessness we need to remind ourselves of.

15. When you find yourself in a hole — stop digging. “Act with fortitude and honor,” Alexander Hamilton wrote to a distraught friend in serious trouble of the man’s own making. “If you cannot reasonably hope for a favorable extrication, do not plunge deeper. Have the courage to make a full stop.” Our ego screams and rattles when it is wounded. We will then do anything to get out of trouble. Stop. Don’t make things worse. Don’t dig yourself further. Make a plan.

16. Don’t be deceived by recognition, money and success — stay sober. Success, money and power can intoxicate. What is required in those moments is sobriety and a refusal to indulge. One look at Angela Merkel, one of the most powerful women on the planet is revealing. She is plain and modest — one writer said that unpretentiousness is Merkel’s main weapon — unlike most world leaders intoxicated with position. Leave self-absorption and obsessing over one’s image for the egotists.

17. Leave your entitlement at the door. Right before he destroyed his own billion-dollar company, Ty Warner, creator of Beanie Babies, overrode the objections of one of his employees and bragged, “I could put the Ty heart on manure and they’d buy it!” You can see how this manifestation of ego can lead you to success — and how it can lead to downright failure.

18. Choose love. Martin Luther King understood that hate is like an “eroding acid that eats away the best and the objective center of your life.” Hatred is when ego turns a minor insult into a massive sore and it lashes out. But pause and ask: has hatred and lashing out ever helped anyone with anything? Don’t let it eat at you — choose love. Yes, love. See how much better you feel.

19. Pursue mastery in your chosen craft. When you are pursuing a craft you realize that the better you get, the humbler you are. Because you understand there’s always something you can learn and you are inherently humbled by this fascinating craft or career you’re after. It is hard to get a big head or become egotistical when you’ve decided on that path.

20. Keep an inner scorecard. Just because you won doesn’t mean you deservedto. We need to forget other people’s validation and external markers of success. Warren Buffett has advised keeping an inner scorecard versus the external one. Your potential, the absolute best you’re capable of — that’s the metric to measure yourself against.

21. Paranoia creates things to be paranoid about. “He who indulges empty fears earns himself real fears,” wrote Seneca, who as a political adviser witnessed destructive paranoia at the highest levels. If you let ego think that everyone is out to get you you will seem weak…and then people will really try to take advantage of you. Be strong, confident and forgiving.

22. Always stay a student. Put yourself in rooms where you’re the least knowledgeable person. Observe and learn. That uncomfortable feeling, that defensiveness that you feel when your most deeply held assumptions are challenged? Do it deliberately. Let it humble you. Remember how the physicist John Wheeler put it, “As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.”

23. No one can degrade you — they degrade themselves. Ego is sensitive about slights, insults and not getting their due. This is a waste of time. After Frederick Douglass was asked to ride in a baggage car because of his race, someone rushed to apologize for this mistreatment. Frederick’s reply? “They cannot degrade Frederick Douglass. The soul that is within me no man can degrade. I am not the one that is being degraded on account of this treatment, but those who are inflicting it upon me.”

24. Stop playing the image game — focus on a higher purpose. One of the best strategists of the last century, John Boyd, would ask the promising young acolytes under him: “To be or to do? Which way will you go?” That is, will you choose to fall in love with the image of how success looks like or will you focus on a higher purpose? Will you pick obsessing over your title, number of fans, size of paycheck or on real, tangible accomplishment? You know which way ego wants to go.

25. Focus on the effort — not the results. This is so important it is appearing twice. If you can accept that you control only the effort that goes in and not the results which come out, you will be mastering your ego. All work leaves our hands at some point. Ego wants to control everything — but it cannot control other people or their reactions. Focus on your end of the equation, leave them to theirs. Remember Goethe’s line: “What matters to an active man is to do the right thing; whether the right thing comes to pass should not bother him.”

One day a man saw an older lady who was stranded on the side of the road, and in the dim light of the day, he could see that she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out of his old Pontiac.

The lady looked worried as the man approached her with a smile on his face. No one had stopped to help her for almost an hour, and she was wondering if he was going to hurt her. He didn’t look safe, he looked poor and hungry, she thought.

The man knew that the lady was scared standing out on the highway in the cold weather. He knew how she felt because the chill put more fear in you. "I’m here to help you, ma’am. Wait in the car where it’s warm. My name is Bryan Anderson,” he said.

All the lady had was a flat tire, but for an older person, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car to find a place to put the jack. Soon he was able to change the tire, but he had to get dirty to do it.

The lady rolled down the car window as he was tightening the lug nuts and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was just passing through. She could not thank him enough for stopping to help her.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her car trunk. The lady asked him how much she owed him because any amount would have been all right with her. She had thought about the things that could have happened to her if he had not stopped. Bryan never thought about being paid because this was not a job to him, he was just helping someone in need. The Universe knows that there were plenty of folks who had helped him in the past, and it never occurred to him to charge the lady anything, he thought.

He told the lady that if she really wanted to pay him for what he had done, the next time she saw someone who needed help to assist them, "And think of me,” he said.

After she had started her car and drove off, he got in his old car feeling good about what he had done and headed home.

A few miles down the road, the lady stopped at a small café to get her something to eat before she began the last part of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant with two old gas pumps outside. The waitress came over and brought a towel for her to wipe her wet hair with. She had a sweet smile and appeared to be nearly eight months pregnant. The lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so nice. Then she remembered Bryan.

After she finished her meal, she paid with a $100 bill. While the waitress went to get change the older lady had left the restaurant. The waitress wondered where the lady was then she noticed something written on the napkin.

With tears in her eyes she read what the lady had written: "You don’t owe me a thing. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: don’t let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

After the waitress finished her work and got home that night and got in bed, she was thinking about what the lady had written. She wondered how the lady knew how much she and her husband needed the money with the baby due next month.

She knew how worried her husband was so as he lay sleeping next to her she gave him a kiss and whispered, "Everything is going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.”

There is an old saying that, "What goes around comes around.” As you read this true story pass it along to someone else and remind them that the universe works in strange ways and sometimes puts people in our lives for a reason
