Gemstones and their magical properties

Gemstones and their magical properties

In the past, jewellery was much more than a decoration and beauty object. Minerals and metals employed in the jewellery were selected and combined together to create a desired “magic” or “healing” effect, to bring help and protection against particular ills or enemies. Talismans and amulets were sought after as powerful instruments in the struggle with evil forces and different diseases, as important “magical tools”.

What are the “magical” properties that the minerals which compose various gemstones may possess? It is believed that minerals can accumulate and channel large amounts of energy to the wearer, as well as enclose and transmit to the outside various codes (information), fulfill protective functions, influence mood and temperament of its wearer, etc.

Most minerals combine not one, but several aspects of magical powers. After centuries of observations and studies it is possible today to distinguish between “happy”, “unhappy”, “friendly”, “unkind” stones, and so on.
Some stones, under special conditions, are capable to emit a powerful, coherent beam of light. This effect is known as laser radiation.
From various ancient sources we learn about miraculous crowns and necklaces decorated by gemstones (mainly Rubies and Diamonds) that were able to deeply affect mentality of the wearer.

The laser beam, although barely visible, can penetrate deeply into a living tissue.
For example, Alexandrite is capable to create such radiation continuously. Alexandrite laser is used in engineering to evaluate the temperature and pressure of gaseous environment. Installed in the front part of airplane, an Alexandrite gage warns pilots about possible turbulence in advance.
Laser effect may indeed be the source of many magical properties of gemstones. Special method of photography (developed by Kirlian) revealed that different crystals have different radiation spectra. Even crystals of the same mineral have strictly individual radiation. In fact, each crystal has its own “energy encryption”, “crystal fingerprints”.

Besides emitting its own radiation, many crystals have the ability to change – absorb, reflect and redirect an external radiation, in particular sunlight. As the result , we observe colors and color changes in gemstones. Many precious and semiprecious stones are transparent and have a strong shine, it means they have an ability to absorb and reflect and consequently, to change radiant energy. Scientists have established that color of minerals is connected to ions of the elements capable at insignificant external influence to give up electrons, entering in a crystal lattice.

The gemstone "breathes” lives its own internal life. Its external manifestation makes a set of qualities which name “magical”.

Magicians and sorcerers were the first to pay attention to the relationship between person and stone. The first thing people pay attention at, is a dependence of "magical" properties of a stone on its color and color’s intensity. Stones of red, violet, dark blue, green colors have the strongest influence on the person; yellow minerals and rocks influence to a lesser degree.
Diamond stands apart among colorless stones. Influence of Diamond is so substantial, that can change the fate not only of its owner, but also of his relatives.

Tiny additions of some metals, such as iron, copper, manganese, chrome, lithium can have a significant effect on the energy of a crystal.

Dr. Carl (Karl) Ludwig von Reichenbach was one of the first scientists who investigated unusual phenomena in crystals. He established that around the stones there is a certain force field, not visible and not felt by the majority of people. Any self-organizing system, whether it be a mineral or a person, acts as an oscillator with the certain frequency of fluctuations. When frequencies coincide, there is a resonance, i.e. an information and energy exchange between the stone and the person.

Be adjusted on your gemstone frequency, and you receive effect.
Some magical properties of minerals are connected with their natural weak radio-activity. It is typical for Carnelian and Amber. The ability of Carnelian to stir up, strengthen the body and to inflame passions is caused by a tiny amount of radium. That is why it is recommended to be worn not constantly, but periodically.

Every stone has its own magical power and its own philosophy. During the whole history of mankind people searched for a philosophical stone, not suspecting, that each person has his own one.

If you look closely at a stone, you'll see, that it lives its own full life. It is alive and can feel any shades of mood, accept them or not accept, it can serve you, protect you, and it can even manipulate you or guide you.

Brought into human society, a natural gemstone which once was a piece of mountain or simply an element of the earth became separate and individual formation, it was born anew.

But stone bears with itself spirit of that place, whence it has came, a smell of that sea, light of that sun, and also century wisdom of the earth, the sky and ocean. In each natural gemstone - and in each product from it the history of the earth and, certainly, the person is embodied.

Cosmic Law - Morality

Cosmic Law - Morality
This Law guarantees that supreme virtues will ultimately prevail for
Heaven on Earth.

Defined as the standard of "rightness or wrongness of an action",
morality is reflected through the human conscience. Conscience is the
inner reservoir into which the Soul pours timeless wisdom born of
Spirit, whether or not the intellect is aware of it.

An individuals conscience recognizes the difference between right and
wrong with regard to one's conduct, coupled with a sense that one should
act accordingly. It is an important inner sense for human survival and
advancement beyond the five physical senses.

When individuals and governments fall short of conscience-based
interaction, it's usually the consequence of intellectual considerations
over-ruling conscience in favor of practical, observable results. The
unintegrated intellect may argue that "the end justifies the means", and
it is by such misbased reasoning that wars, genocide, dictatorships, and
all other forms of physical force and violence, are often defended
although doomed to fail under Cosmic Laws.

When honoring one's own conscience, the sense of right comes clear for
universal application;

"Moral means to moral ends."

In the book "Ends and Means", author Aldous Huxley noted that wrong
means tend to become a part of, and corrupt good intentions;

"The end cannot justify the means for
the simple reason that the means
employed determine the nature of the
ends produced."

Doing wrong to try to correct wrongdoing only compounds the problem in
trying to achieve moral ends as the hypocrisy conflicts with the
principle of moral means. Might never made "right".

Moral human laws are enacted to provide a foundation for justice, not to
try to force moral conduct. Timeless wisdom explains that the
initiation of force by government will never achieve righteous goals,
desireable as they may be, because it goes against several Cosmic Laws
besides Morality, including Cause & Effect, or karma;

"Morality can never be advanced by
law or by force. Always labor to
persuade minds, but never dare to
compel them."

Human laws cannot advance morality since the unintegrated intellect
schemes to avoid them. By contrast, persuasion power is effective
through personal contact and example that touches the heart. "Love and
let love" is a means in full harmony with the Law of Morality and all
others as well.

Despite cyclical setbacks, humans forever evolve to more virtuous
choices as incarnated Souls, with multi-dimensional wisdom, integrate
the five-sensory survival-focused intellect. Barbarism gives way to
less primitive practices, enslavement gives way to equality, cruelty
gives way to more humane treatment.

Conscience works against killing as the non-combat status of
"Conscientious objector" is honored in times of war, less violent means
of applying the death penalty for crimes are sought, and the penalty
itself is challenged by moral reasoning;

"Why do we kill people who kill
people to show that killing people
is wrong?"

Under Cosmic Laws, elimination of a Soul's physical body by force
creates a new wave of negative karma for those involved in the act, and
creates a debt that sooner or later must be settled.

In the context of the Law of Morality, "sin" is a deliberate violation,
and "evil" is an unconscious violation by the unintegrated intellect.
The idea of "original sin" was a controlling and manipulative teaching
with no basis in Cosmic Law, tending to dismiss an individuals inner
powers, including conscience, to rise above it . But self-empowering
acts of displaying unconditional love, compassion and forgiveness, and
efforts to anchor supreme values in the foundation of human endeavors,
slowly triumph with time over their opposites.

Outstanding institutional moral progress has been seen throughout
recorded history in such things as England's Magna Carta and America's
Bill of Rights, as well as great humanitarian efforts undertaken by
various private organizations, and growth of spiritual awareness around
the world. Of special importance was a message from Spirit on October
20, 1996 to all Souls in human embodiment;

"Do not give support to that which
is evil or sinful."

As with earlier "commandments", the admonishment was a reminder that
causing death, injury or pain to others was not only a moral issue for
the individual conscience, but the collective conscience as well in
relation to government. Immoral policies and actions by government
would lose funding as taxpayers claimed the right of conscience to
direct their money according to the "golden rule" of morality;

"Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you."

A most blatant and common contradiction of the Law of Morality by
government is the initiation of physical force to achieve control over
people who threaten no physical harm to others. Humans appropriately
enact laws against using it amongst themselves, but governments have
been permitted to initiate unlimited force, even to nuclear devastation.
The Soul rebels at a human "lawful order" that conflicts with its
wisdom.

History and economics Professor Kenneth Schoolland made the moral point
in his book "The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible" (1995);

"The initiation of force to take life
is murder, to take liberty is slavery,
and to take property is theft. It is
the same whether these actions are
done by one person acting alone, by
the many acting against a few, or
even by officials with fine hats."

What is "wrong" for an individual is also wrong for a collection of
individuals calling themselves the "government". Involuntary payment of
money to an institution, like involuntary payment to robbers, is not a
policy born of the Law of Morality, but rather the "law of the jungle".

Under Cosmic Laws, groups identified as syndicates, mobs and gangs are
appropriately held responsible for wrongful acts. The forced
association of many people under government does not relieve them,
karmically speaking, of the same responsibility.

The bottom line is, an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the
natural Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, replaces negative coercive, forceful ways of
government with moral means to moral ends, positive persuasion and
voluntary support.

Olive, encased in their own negative emotions, petulant often, not enjoying the now. Transient Moss greens, may indicate someone who is retreating from emotional participation in life because they have been hurt.

Some people have taught that Green should not be used in treatment of cancer because of its association with growth. This to me is simply another example of fear thought and the inability to release limitations. Green is a color of Healing. Healing practitioners should preface any treatment with the intention that it work only for the recipients highest good and wholeness or some simular variant. This will protect from doing harm of any kind. Even were it true that green was bad for cancer it would not do anything at all rather than do harm.


Green is a healing color it soothes and heals it will work on any imbalance including cancer. Probably anyone who thinks it will do harm should not use it because our thoughts create our reality. When you look at plants growth which is where this limiting idea comes from you will notice that the bright green healthy plants often easily resist and overcome the blights, diseases and fungus and even many of the insects that attack them. The green growth benefits the plant not the blights and so it is with disease and imbalance in people too.
