Clarity of Intention with Crystal Usage – Part 2

Separating the Real from the Fake
There appears to presently be two worlds of crystal usage. One looks with honesty and sincerity at the plain truth of what they are, and the amazing potential they hold to benefit and enhance our lives in positive growth. The other is a body of crystal usage that is rooted in ungrounded imagination and fantasy created mainly by those whose main motivation is commercial profit. This is another reason why self-honesty and crystal usage need to be an inseparable pair for honest alchemical success.
It is true that crystal and gemstones hold some amazing properties for sure, but until that becomes an honest part of one’s living experience, things need to be kept in perspective. Not wanting to step on anyone’s toes, but the latter group is responsible for giving Crystals and Gemstone usage a bad name in recent years, and it’s time to break the undeserved pseudoscience label that has been branded on us, and instead lay out proper Crystal Alchemy with honesty and sincerity step by step.
Clear intentions and honesty are so important when practicing Crystal Alchemy, to avoid the pitfalls of delusion and self-deception. If the practitioner is heavily influenced by a belief system, or a package of ungrounded fantasies when applying their crystals in alchemical practice, there is a danger of falling deeper and deeper into delusion even if they have sincere intentions. Success in Crystal Alchemy, will come only by building a step-by-step, honest practice using them, and keeping from making conclusions too quickly before having a direct experience.
Just be honest with yourself. Know what you know for sure by experience, and know what you have only heard or read about crystals and gemstones, and keep this distinction clear until one’s direct experience unfolds into something tangible.
Applying Clear Intention to Your Crystal Usage
The first step towards success in Crystal Alchemy is clarity of mind, and honest clarity of intention. In truth, crystals and gemstones will bestow benefit and life enhancement, even without intention or belief. This is the easy unconscious path of crystal usage. But this is not Crystal Alchemy. For the one who wishes to be a conscious creator of their life dance, and wishes to have a hand in the direction of their destiny, it becomes essential to be clear about the way things are, and where one wishes to go. Then intention is the creators paint brush, or magic wand so to speak.
Creation needs clarity of intention, otherwise one will be on unconscious autopilot, spewing out the creations of our subconscious, and of our impulses. When one becomes aware that there is more to crystals and gemstones beyond just being pretty rocks, an attempt usually will be made to tap into and harness the beneficial properties they possess. How deep one wishes to go in order to maximize and make best use of their energetic properties, distinguishes whether one is a casual admirer and user of crystals and gemstones, or whether one is practicing Crystal Alchemy.
So again, be honest where you are, and be honest where you want to go. Be clear about what you know is true about crystals and gemstones, and be clear about what you have only heard or read about, but is not yet in your direct experience. You may read up on the properties of crystals and gemstones that others have discovered, and you may get certain crystals to achieve certain effects for a specific purpose. But be honest with oneself, and be patient. When using a certain crystal or gemstone for a certain purpose, be clear about that within oneself. If you feel drawn to a certain crystal or gemstone, and do not know why you are using it, also be clear about that within oneself.
When one’s mind is clear, the spirit is calm, and one’s pure intention becomes the seed of reality. Plain truth and honest clarity, with sincere intention, will manifest a world that a thinking mind would never believe possible. True life magic is born from the simple and plain. A truly sincere intention of the heart, will find no obstacle which can stop its manifestation in the physical realm.
The Sacred Bridge Between Clarity of Intention and Conscious Crystal Usage
With honesty… comes clarity… The more one refines their own mind and life with the fine comb of honest introspection, the more one’s life becomes real, true and genuine. By establishing truth in all aspects of one’s life, clarity and life vision get stronger and sharper. When one’s life clarity becomes sharp, one will start to become increasingly attracted to living in the moment. To live in the moment requires conscious participation in every aspect. Being absorbed in one’s own thought process means the living moment is passing you by to some degree. By becoming conscious of one’s life process, one becomes able to have a direct impact on the direction of the flow of its events. Rather than being a slave to ones own mental thought process, one starts to touch the freedom of living fully in the eternal present moment.
Clarity and conscious living are interconnected at the root. To be an effective creator of one’s own life needs clarity of perception which is grounded in honesty and truth. This is the sword of one’s mind. The more clarity one achieves, the sharper one’s sword gets. If the sword of one’s consciousness becomes sharp enough, one will stop stumbling through the darkness of one’s own mental patterns and instead will start living a life that is in touch with the eternality of nature. Then, in order to carry ones heightened perception or one’s sword moment by moment, requires one to maintain conscious living throughout every road traveled on one’s life journey.
Striving for clarity by accepting the light of truth in one’s life, means the path of self-mastery has been embraced. When one’s inner light becomes bright enough to see through the years of accumulated self-deception, then it becomes obvious that living consciously is the only way, if one’s life path is to evolve. For those that use crystals and gemstones for alchemical life enhancement, clarity is a must and a pre-requisite before reaching any substantial level of proficiency. For the one who attempts deeper levels of Crystal Alchemy without achieving a reasonable level of clarity, means the creation of their life path is being done with a blindfold on. Always strive for clarity with truth and sincerity, and the correct doors to take in one’s life will become obvious.
