Full Report:
One of the most detailed descriptions of the prehistoric use of a mysterious instrument called the Great Crystal was given by the famed psychic of Virginia Beach, Edgar Cayce. In the numerous trance readings he gave over a five decade period, Cayce alluded to the Great Crystal of Atlantis time and time again, and a compilation of his words forms a fascinating picture.
The Crystal, he said, was housed in a special building oval in shape, with a dome that could be rolled back, exposing the Crystal to the light of the sun, moon and stars at the most favorable times. The interior of the building was lined with non-conducting metal or stone, similar to asbestos or bakelite, a thermosetting plastic.
The Crystal itself, which Cayce also called the Tuaoi Stone, or Firestone, was huge in size, cylindrical in length, and prismatic in shape, cut with six sides. Atop the Crystal was a moveable capstone, used to both concentrate incoming rays of energy, and to direct currents to various parts of the Atlantean countryside.
It appears the Crystal gathered solar, lunar, stellar, atmospheric and Earth energies as well as unknown elemental forces, and concentrated these at a specific point, located between the top of the Crystal and the bottom of the capstone.
The psychic also alluded to the fact that the Crystal became hot when in operation; it employed inductor methods; utilized a kind of wave energy other than electromagnetic; and it emitted an invisible beam of energy that could pass through water and solid matter.
The energy of the Crystal was used for various purposes, in different periods of Atlantean history. In the beginning, about 50,000 years ago, the Great Crystal was operated exclusively by the Initiates, or those spiritually advanced enough to handle such a tremendous source of power. Cayce in several of his readings, observed that at this remote period in history, the Crystal was the development of a prehistoric wisdom which recognized that all energies in the universe are but aspects of one energy, and one Mind. He stated in one reading:
“It was in the form of a six-sided figure in which the light appeared as the means of communication between infinity and the finite, or the means whereby there were communications with those forces from the outside (the universe). Later this came to mean that from which the energies radiated, as of the center (of the universe) from which there were radial activities guiding the forms of transition or travel through those periods of activities of the Atlanteans.”
As time progressed, however, and the Atlantean civilization matured further, the Crystal’s energies were also utilized in rejuvenating the human body. By it, the Atlanteans were able to live hundreds of years, yet always maintained a youthful appearance.
As technology advanced in Atlantis, the energies of the Crystal were put to a wider variety of material uses. Cayce spoke of the Crystal’s force acting upon certain “instruments” which in turn operated “various modes of travel through induction methods.” Currents of energy were transmitted throughout the land, like radio waves, and, powered by these, crafts and vehicles traversed the land, through the sky and under the sea at the speed of sound. By utilization of other currents originating from the Crystal, the Atlanteans were also able to transmit over great distances the human voice, and pictures, like modern television. In the same manner, even heat and light could be directed to specific buildings or open arenas, giving illumination and warmth by seemingly invisible means.
Cayce spoke of “rays from the sun amplified by crystals” and “raising of the powers from the sun itself to a ray that makes for the disintegration of the atom.” This in turn produced gases which “were used for what we call today the conveniences—the motivative forces or radial activity, electrical combinations, the motivative forces of steam, gas and the like.” The Great Crystal also utilized “the concentration of energies that emanate from bodies that are on fire themselves, along with elements that are found and not found in the earth’s atmosphere.” Another reading mentions “crystals in the pits that made for the connections with the internal influences in the earth.”
Research writer William Donato believes that what Cayce may have been describing was “a thermally excited gas laser with a quartz housing. Quartz allows for the transmission not only of visible wavelengths but also ultraviolet and infrared radiations, unlike ordinary glass. It is both piezoelectric and pyro-electric.
“Cayce states the force which came from the Tuaoi ’arose in the form of rays invisible to the eye,’ suggesting ultraviolet or infrared as the operating range. An ultraviolet laser ionizes the air directly in front of the beam creating an electrically conducting pathway—literally sending electricity directly through the air without the use of wires, cables or other instruments. All that would be necessary to modify the beam for various uses would be electro-optical devices like special mirrors and prisms.
“We can imagine smaller variants of the Tuaoi set in an airship, for example. The beam would transmit energy directly into these receptor crystals which would in turn re-amplify the power, possibly powering an electrical or thermal engine. We have done the same thing by shining laser light into another laser crystal.”
However, according to Cayce, toward the end of their existence, as the Atlanteans became greedier for more power, the operation of the Crystal was taken over by those of less spiritual fortitude, and the energies of the Great Crystal were tuned to higher and more destructive frequencies. Finally the Crystal was tuned too high, activating volcanoes and melting mountains, ultimately causing the submergence of Atlantis, and perhaps even affecting the axis shift of the Earth itself. In one reading, the psychic described specifically how the Crystal energies were directed into the Earth, overloading the Earth energy grid system.
John H. Sutton, a NASA researcher involved with applications of low energy plasmas, believes that the Great Crystal Cayce was describing was a “laser-infusion reactor/ gravity wave generator.” He suggested that when intense gravity waves were generated by the Crystal and beamed into the Earth, the planet’s crystalline quartz—which occurs in granite rock averaging twenty-five percent throughout the crust—absorbed the energy. The resulting meltdown of large masses of subterranean quartz would have been the triggering mechanism for causing major slippage along the Earth’s fault-lines, destroying Atlantis and precipitating a global shift.
Interestingly, Cayce stipulated further that knowledge of the Great Crystal, its design and construction, and instructions on its operations and uses, will one day be found hidden in three different locations—in the sunken ruins of Atlantis near modern Bimini in the Bahamas, in the lost Temple of Iltar yet to be fully explored in the modern Yucatan, and in the Hall of Records buried near the Sphinx in Egypt.
In one reading, given in December, 1933, the psychic revealed further that crude models of the Crystal were at that time already being discovered in Central America, by members of the Pennsylvania Stat Museum. What he was referring to were excavations being carried out, from 1931 to 1938, by E. R. Johnson of the Museum, at the site of Piedras Negras, in Guatemala. The site was a Maya Old Empire center, and is distinguished by a number of large, intricately carved stelae or commemorative standing monuments. There were also curiously circular, table-like stones, also carved with scenes and pictographs. Furthermore, the psychic claimed, still other portions of Crystal models are to be found in museums in both Washington D.C. and Chicago.
The more complete Great Crystal models—which are supposedly to be fully operational—await the discoverers of the Egyptian and other related Halls of Records.
An unusual crystal find that bears directly upon the use of crystals as the generator of a universal form of power was made in 1970. Dr. Ray Brown, a naturopathic practitioner from Mesa, Arizona, was scuba diving with friends near the Berry Island, Bahamas, in an area twenty miles from the edge of a submarine drop-off called the Tongue of the Ocean. During the dive, Brown became separated from his companions, and in trying to rejoin them, suddenly saw a strange pyramid shape looming up against the aquamarine light.
The pyramid was situated 22 fathoms down, stood 120 feet high, with only 90 feet projecting out of the sea floor shifting sands. Brown was first struck by how smooth and mirror-like the stone surface of the structure was, with the joints between the individual blocks almost indiscernible. Swimming about the capstone, which the Arizona diver thought looked like lapis lazuli, he discovered an entranceway, and decided to explore further.
Passing along a narrow hallway, Brown finally came to a small rectangular room with a pyramid-shaped ceiling. What was amazing was that the room contained no algae or coral growing on the inner walls. They were completely spotless. In addition, though Brown had brought no flashlight, he could nevertheless see everything in the room perfectly. It was well lit, but no direct light source was visible.
Brown’s attention was drawn to a brassy metallic rod 3 inches in diameter hanging down from the apex of the ceiling, and at its end was attached a many-faceted red gem, which came to a point. Directly below the rod and gem, sitting in the middle of the room, was a stand of carved stone topped by a stone plate with scrolled ends. On the plate rested a pair of carved metal bronze-colored hands, life-sized, which appeared blackened and burnt, as if having been subjected to tremendous heat. Nestled in the hands, and situated 4 feet directly below the ceiling rod gem point, was a crystal sphere 3.5 inches in diameter.
Brown first attempted to pry loose the ceiling rod and red gemstone, but neither would budge. Turning back to the crystal sphere, he found it easily separated from the bronze hand holders, and left the pyramid with it. As he departed, Brown felt a presence and heard a voice from somewhere telling him never to return.
Fearing that his unusual prize might be confiscated as salvage treasure by the United States government, Dr. Brown did not disclose the existence of the strange crystal or his experiences until 1975, when he exhibited the crystal for the first time at a psychic seminar in Phoenix.
Since then, the sphere has been placed on public view only a half a dozen times, but each time witnesses have seen or have been sensitive to strange phenomena directly associated with it.
Deep inside the crystal form a scryer gazes upon three pyramid images, one in front of the other, in decreasing sizes. Some, entering into a meditative or alpha brainwave state of consciousness, are able to clearly see a fourth pyramid, in the foreground of the other three. The significance of the image may have been hinted at by psychic Elizabeth Bacon of New York. In a trace reading on the mysterious sphere, she received a message that the object had once belonged to Thoth, the Egyptian god who ages ago buried a secret vault of knowledge at Giza, near the three Pyramids there. Do the positions of the three pyramid images in the crystal hold the key to finding a fourth, as yet unfound subterranean pyramid, that is the fabled Hall of Records?
From the side, the internal images dissolve into thousands of tiny fracture lines, and Brown feels these may be electrical in nature, like some form of microscopic circuitry. From still another angle, and under special conditions, many witnesses have been able to see a large single human eye serenely staring out at them. Photographs of this eye have also been taken.
Like the Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull, Dr. Brown’s crystal sphere is the source of a variety of paranormal events. People have felt breezes or ionic winds blowing close to it, cold and warm layers surround it at various distances; other witnesses have seen phantom lights, heard voices, or felt strange tingling sensations around it. A compass needle, placed next to the sphere, will spin counter-clockwise, then begins turning in the opposite direction when moved only two inches away. Metals are temporarily magnetized in close contact with it. There are even recorded instances where one person has been temporarily healed of an ailment by touching the crystal sphere, but then the next person to come into its range took on the symptoms of the ailment of the other person, as if the crystal could draw out and then activate human disorders at will.
Just what the purpose of the crystal sphere was, and what role it once played in the enigmatic instrument Brown found inside the sunken Bahamian pyramid, remains a mystery, though of course there are some interesting possibilities. One idea proposed is that the sunken pyramid once attracted, accumulated and generated cosmic forces. The suspended rod may have conducted forces accumulated in the capstone. The faceted red gem at its end concentrated and projected the energy to the crystal sphere below it. The burnt and blackened hands, showing the evidence of an energy transfer, probably amplified the release of energies; while the crystal sphere acted as the tuner and broadcaster of the energies. All that we know for certain is that the crystal sphere Dr. Brown retrieved from this system is by itself testimony to a very advanced technology that has long disappeared.
