During our research for the book, we learned about various ‘other matters’ to do with crystals. One thing we studied
was the use of a polished Calcite Sphere with very specific thoughtform exercises. This article is about the energetic
work we did with one of our Calcite crystal spheres to deliberately ‘change realities’ in our then life. Like opening
Pandora’s Box; we had no idea what we were letting ourselves in for. These events actually took place during the
summer of 2003 in Cork City in Ireland, where we had our small crystal shop. We have deliberately removed some of
the descriptions of the exercises we did using the sphere as it would be irresponsible to publish them; such is the power
of this work – it could open doors for all sorts of trouble in the lives of people that would try to follow our footsteps –
when they would not be ‘ready’ for those experiences. So to make things better all round – we have hidden or changed
the ‘key ingredients’… However it still makes interesting reading and we hope you’ll enjoy it. There are references to
our receiving information about this work – and these refer to a ‘third party’. At no time will we reveal any information
about this third party; for that is our agreement. Work with the Calcite - Sphere.
The exercises involving the calcite sphere were for changing realities. Our business was quiet, and
there was little optimism of forthcoming significant change, we had little money coming in and
things were getting difficult.
Unlike other mineral and crystal spheres, calcite has a very specific function; it holds and
increases the power of thoughtforms. Energetically – when one looks at a calcite sphere there is a
special energetic current that flows in a circumvolution movement over the surface of the sphere. It
is like a revolving miniature comet that comes up from beneath, skims over the surface and then
disappears. Then another one from beneath, appears and skims over another position of the surface,
over the top and disappears again… This process continues perpetually.
When you ‘work’ with a calcite sphere, xxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx
xxxxxx… The thoughtform will take position in the very centre of the sphere; in the core, on a
particular level. Depending upon certain things – the size of the ‘seed’ of your thoughtform will be
smaller or larger. However you can expect a strong thoughtform xxxx xxx x x x xxxxxxx to have
the size of a pea in the middle of the sphere. Now then, if you walk away and leave the sphere
alone, it will act on this thoughtform. With every revolution of the energetic ‘comets’ – the
thoughtform will have its’ power increased by a fraction… So that after a day it would have grown
slightly, after two to three days it will be still larger again… In about 10 to 12 days it will have
grown so much as to have almost completely occupied the physical size of a 60mm sphere sphere.
When at last the spherical thoughtform has finally reached a size bigger than the calcite sphere
itself… a miraculous event takes place… it leaves the confines of the sphere and moves to a
position appropriate with the definition and objective of the thought. In our case this was the exact
centre of the showroom of our business, where it positioned itself just below the ceiling. At this
time, our business took a very surprising leap of positive change. For three days we were
exceptionally busy and completely delighted… However, for some reason things then dramatically
changed again; a complete reversal of reality happened and the business fell very quiet again…
only this period lasted quite a long time… We were both confused and concerned that our
experiment with the sphere was not such a good idea.
Then we received further information about such exercises… The most important point made was
that we could not entertain any doubts or fears at all when performing such exercises. The thoughts
had to be exactly specific and central to the location of the objective. This meant complete
discipline… When the next round of exercises began with the sphere, the attitude had to be one of
absolute confidence. However we were warned that in order for a reality to change, the ‘old one’
has to end, and that this may mean a quiet, if not silent period before the new reality can really
begin to take place. It is during this period that no fears or doubts can be present… it is like a ‘test’
of faith.
Once again the sphere was placed on the table, strong, concentrated thoughts were generated
about the success of the business, feelings and emotions were experienced of events that were yet
to take place. Images of events and circumstances to take place in our business were ‘designed’ and
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx. It was as though the thoughts and images were of what we
wanted, together with the feelings and even words and sentences of conversations with customers
of our business – were all generated artificially and xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx. This
exercise would take place two to three times a day. As soon as a distraction thought would enter
our consciousness while working with the sphere, we would immediately stop. So that only
thoughts, images, sounds and feelings associated with positive business changes were entertained
during the process. If any other ‘interuptive’ thoughts occurred – work had to immediately cease.
This discipline meant that sometimes the exercises were 4 to 5 minutes long, and at other times
they were less than a minute long. It didn’t matter. As long as there was a definite pattern of work
each day it was ok.
By the third day of working, our business began to get busy again. Events and images that were
created xxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx actually began to manifest as physical reality. It was quite
exciting. After working with the sphere for four to five days, and by then four to six times per day,
events began to materialise within twenty minutes of completing an exercise… this experience
certainly tested ones’ nerves! We experienced ‘particular phrases’ and virtually exact replicas of
the types of customer experiences that had been ‘programmed’ with the sphere. There was one
memorable moment that I ‘designed an image of a girl with two carrier bags buying various items
and another woman coming into the shop after locking her bicycle outside… I came downstairs
into the showroom to find a girl with a carrier bag in each hand asking Nat about some jewellery
and right outside the window there was another girl student with her bicycle upside down while she
was trying to fix its chain or something… These events happened within 2 minutes of the original
programs I’d been forming upstairs. I remember thinking – ‘what is reality’? Did I create this – or
foresee it, and was the girl with the bags in the shop before I came downstairs – or did she ‘just
appear to come in immediately before I came downstairs…? It was really weird.
At this point our calcite sphere became very precious to us, we didn’t allow anyone else to touch
it or even see it; it was kept safe and secure. Furthermore, we were told that we could not touch the
sphere physically for very long, and that if we did have to move it – to only do so with no thoughts
held at the time. Apparently the thoughts you hold can travel down through your fingertips and into
the sphere – when the sphere is activated (i.e. when its is being used through period of time). So we
had to be careful when moving our sphere. Otherwise ‘incorrect thoughts’ may become connected
with it.
This work went on for a week, during which our business was indeed very busy and we were
delighted.
The second stage of the work with the calcite sphere was when we were informed to stop the style
of exercise – and change it… Now there was to be a period whereby we generate thoughtforms and
images of the realities we desired, but not with such intensity and strength. However, this time, the
exercise was to xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxx
xxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx x xxxxxxxxxx... xxx
xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx the calcite sphere. This was difficult to do, to start with because it
seemed hard to create a habit of seeing the images (small and tiny as they were) actually xx xxx
xxxx xxx xxxxxxxx… At this stage, its is easy to feel apathetic and defeatist – but none the less,
we carried on…Generally, when people do visualisation exercises, they visualise images
‘mentally’ – as a result, these images are ‘seen’ as though they are just in front of the head (in the
mental aura). So to deliberately stop that process from happening – and to xxxxxx xxxx xxxx
xxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxx… xx xxx xx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxx
xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxx. After doing this for
a couple of days, it became easier and we were satisfied that we were ‘laying seeds’ of future
realities in the sphere, to germinate and grow, then bloom with flowers in life…
We were informed however that a calcite sphere could be a potentially dangerous tool of reality in
the wrong hands. If someone were to be going through a series of deep psychological changes as a
progression of their personality growth… they might try to use such a tool to ‘bring them what they
desired’… Under such circumstances, not everything the personality desires is actually worthwhile – and it would be very easy to develop undesirable elementals that would cling to the person and
cause them deep psychological and social troubles. So, beware the use of the calcite spheres; as
much positive change as they can bring, they can also bring the reverse. You get what you desire
and that is not necessarily always a positive reality.
There are all sorts of colours of calcite, all sorts of transparent, semi-transparent and opaque
varieties. The majority of calcite spheres available on the market are a golden orange colour. The
colour doesn’t make any difference to this work, but the size and the clarity do.
As big a sphere is – as big a reality can be changed. As clear a sphere is – as quickly a reality can
be changed… So for our business, we were using our 65mm pale green sphere, which is
exceptionally clear. We always look out for more calcite spheres, but only ones, which are as clear
or as transparent as possible. Going with the theory of size, were we to desire a change of major
significance for a town, city or even a country… we would be better using a much larger sphere.
Given the size of the calcite deposits in Mexico – it should be possible to create a sphere the size of
a football – which would have tremendous potential power. Bear in mind however – that it would
be only a tool; it is the person using it that provides the work, and such a sphere would do nothing
until activated with a thoughtform. However, such spheres are not currently available, the crystal
market as it is at present means that no stone cutting and polishing company would supply such
items so large. Not yet. The market is however saturated with quartz spheres of all sizes and many
of these are very clear, but they have different uses. Do not assume that you can use a quartz - or
any other sphere for exercises like these above with the calcite sphere… you would be very
mistaken and could cause yourself no end of troubles…
A mishap occurred when carrying our calcite sphere after working with it… we accidentally
dropped it! It fortunately landed on a soft chair but bounced loudly onto a wooden tabletop.
Inevitably, we were very concerned that some energetic damage had occurred, as the sphere did
take quite a loud knock. On enquiry, we were relieved to hear that it was fine, so if you too by
accident – bump or knock your crystal sphere… don’t worry; provided it doesn’t break – it’ll be
fine.
There was a writer in America in the 1960s and 70s that wrote with the pen name of Ophiel, he
wrote a series of esoteric training books – they will be long out of print by now. All of his book
titles were preceded by ‘The Art & Practice Of’… (Astral Projection, Clairvoyance, Creative
Visualisation... etc.). They were a style of literature all of their own… he had a habit of loading a
lot of profound knowledge and ‘shouting it out’ from the books as you read it. Sadly there are
extremely few teaching books published today that even come near the content of Ophiel's books.
Nowadays it seems one has to read several books to achieve the same level of understanding that
was present from just one of his works. Today there seems to be a ‘burden on the bookshelves’ of
literature that is so dilute in occult content that it seems to make the spiritual path ever more
tedious to tread. Ophiel was a writer of a different calibre; he clearly understood his subjects and
wasn’t concerned about publishing the hidden details of esoteric work. In the last twenty years,
there have been occasional books that broke the ‘unspoken tradition’ of not publishing too many
secrets. All that is soon to change.
Ophiel was very keen on letting his students learn about the various ‘laws of the inner planes’ –
he revealed many of them throughout his books. One of these laws is relevant to mention here;‘the law of the sphere of availability’. It can be looked at as either very simple, or very profound –
depending upon your own level of perception.
When you have little, and you perform any esoteric work to bring about change to your
circumstances – to bring you more than you have… this law has to be complied with. It basically
explains why you won’t suddenly ‘win the lottery’ and have more money than you can count – in
one quick step from poverty. You may well achieve great fortune, but it has to grow in stages – in
keeping with the law of your own personal ‘sphere’ of available opportunities for change.
Occasionally we hear of people that do appear to contradict this law – when they change overnight
to a millionaire – but those circumstances are special and involve much deeper causes. For
everyone else there is this particular law.
In simple terms, if you have one Euro and you work with a calcite sphere – you may well create a
change… and therefore have fifty Euros, then you may continue further work and achieve two
hundred Euros, it may carry on in the same fashion relative to your determination, discipline and
effort. As each change occurs – your personal ‘sphere’ of opportunities grows larger and larger, but
it has to grow in stages.
Another law in these matters relates to how the changes of reality will manifest. There will not be
a flash of lightning and there on the table - your chosen desire will simply appear in front of you. A
definite fact is that it will all have to happen ‘as though it were a natural event’; so someone that
you don’t know is not going to pull up in a car and give you a cheque for a thousand Euros. That
just doesn’t happen. However – your uncle may telephone you to say he’s just had a windfall and
would like to share it with members of the family… The Company you work for may perfectly
well decide to call you upstairs and offer you a promotion… The tax office may send you a letter to
say you’ve overpaid your taxes for the last so many years and are entitled to a substantial rebate…
All of these are potential natural events… They can all happen as a result of changing reality from
work done with a calcite sphere.
Other changes can be so subtle that you just don’t notice them… we had been working with our
sphere for a fortnight, and although great changes took place very quickly in the first week, things
appeared to slow down. Business went very quiet again; as expected, but we kept doing our
exercises, without fear, keeping our faith positive. After two weeks, when business was
exceptionally quiet, we noticed changes taking place that indirectly were positive to our commerce
and future business growth. We discovered some local changes in our city that had to mean more
business to us in the future. We had new ideas about our ‘buying in’ stocks – which would save us
a lot of unnecessary costs. Other ideas came to us that seemed so obvious that we were very
puzzled we’d not thought of them before – all about ‘fine tuning’ our business. These thoughts
could well have escaped our attention in relation to the work with the sphere – they were such
subtle changes.
It is possible that we could have thought of such ideas during periods when we weren’t working
with the sphere, and is possible that the local city information may have come to us at any time…
However these experiences did occur during the work with it.
We carried on with our work, undaunted by this extremely quiet phase – it was going to work –
and we were not afraid of the changes. Our business had reduced down in activity to perhaps 20%
of what its normal reality would be.
At this time, our 65mm calcite sphere had an exterior, spherical, energetic ‘field’ that extended to
a radius of 2.5 metres, that is 5 metres in diameter. Inside this field were a variety of energetic
channels and movements similar to ‘slow lightening’ and the sort of ‘light channels’ that can be
seen inside a novelty ‘plasma ball’ when you touch its surface with your fingertips. It was
generally white in colour, but full of ‘striating paths of light’ all coming from the calcite sphere.
We imagined that all of the changes happening within this surrounding field must have a direct
reaction on our current reality and other realities we had ‘programmed’ with the exercises over the
last two to three weeks. On the one side of our thoughts and feelings… there was concern at what
we were doing and whether it would change and go positive again… Although this was controlled
and subdued by the other side of our thoughts – where we maintained a positive, affirmative
attitude – we resigned our reality to the experiment… what the results would be – we didn’t know,
but it was too late to turn around now… So, more positive images, more positive feelings,
imagined words, sentences and conversations… positive delightful moments – all were created and
xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx.
When we began to reach about twenty two to twenty three days, the energetic field around the
sphere was now 7 metres in diameter. At last the first day of ‘normal business’ came and things
began to return to normal again. We were informed that we now had to do exercises of a different
nature, being fully aware that we were in fact inside this energetic sphere whenever we worked
with the crystal sphere. Now we had to visualise in detail, exact imagined realities that we desired
take place in our business. We had to visualise people approaching us, talking to us, having
conversations with us and buying goods from us and our business becoming more and more
prosperous.
We had to think of bright, definite events that were to positively affect the business and
concentrate the images and feelings with unfailing confidence that these experiences were real.
If you reach a point in the visualisations and projected, imagined experiences where you can also
sustain a heart-felt happiness and joy of the work you are doing… then fill the images with ‘life’…
Bring them to reality – and know that this is real, be assured that what you are doing is controlling
the play of events in your life. We couldn’t fail to perceive how much more powerful this work
was when we engaged our hearts and minds with the work. There was a stage when we did not
fear, we did not doubt – because the experience became alive itself… negative attitude could not
manifest in a situation where there was only joy, confidence and nothing less. We had to ensure
now that we definitely did the exercises at least five times a day. On each occasion we had to make
sure the images were bright and clear and as detailed as possible.
The difference in the work now – was that not only did the images have to be as perfect as
possible – but afterwards we had to xxxxxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx
xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxx. xx, xxx xxxxx xxxx xx xxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxx
xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx. All the time being now aware that we were inside
the energetic sphere surrounding us…
This brought to mind the concepts of what was actually taking place; the energetic sphere had
now grown so large as to have the power to make changes happen. We were controlling the
changes by programming the sphere directly with desired images to manifest. It was like a slide
projector that you put your little slides into – and they are then projected out onto the wall in lifesize
images. Our ‘slides’ were the specific images that we had carefully designed, the projector was
the sphere and the wall was our life.
The exercises with our calcite sphere were to change again; now we were to place a small burning
candle within ten centimetres of the edge of the sphere when working with it. With our sphere
supported on its small three legged plastic stand, it was easy to put a lit 'T - Light' candle within
three centimetres of the sphere. It was very convenient to place the candle flame behind the sphere,
so that we didn't see the flame - but it 'lit up' the sphere beautifully.
Whereas before we were to place images within the sphere and concentrate thoughts into it, now
it was different and much harder… For now we had to xxxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxx xx
xxx xxxxxx xx xx xxxxxxx yet at the same time - also concentrate single positive thoughts about
the business but without any images. Try to generate a strong thought without an image… it is not
easy! Then try to maintain that same thought for a length of time, without allowing distractive
thoughts to enter your mind - and at the same time imagine you are xx xxx xxxxxx…
This was the most difficult of all the exercises to perform, however we soon learnt that by placing
the lit candle behind the sphere it would light up all the internal physical inclusions and natural
internal fractures of the sphere. This enabled us to turn the sphere until we found a perfect
'glowing' inclusion in its centre and we could then focus attention on that particular part of the
sphere. It was a tremendous benefit to be able to focus attention inside the sphere by this method
otherwise we found our attention tended to wander over and through the sphere. Holding a fixed
gaze at a precise fixed point - helped to associate that point with our consciousness.
Next came the actual exercises. It took a while to create the habit of holding the thought without
an image in mind, and various experiences occurred during the process. It was easiest to mentally
repeat a mantra; the same words over and over again, all the while holding concentration and fixed
attention on that one central point in the sphere. So - for example we would mentally 'lock' the
thought of:
'more customers', 'more sales', 'more business success',' more income' or 'more positive change' in
our mind and only hold that to the attention of our consciousness. It was also necessary to maintain
a positive 'happy' feeling as well; whether real or 'artificially designed' by 'lifting our hearts' during
the work, didn't matter. It was a definite requisite to hold a positive feeling; we could not do any
work with a negative mood. If there was a negative mood - we had to overcome it by lifting our
hearts and filling completely with heart energy. If a distractive thought were to stray in and occupy
our mind during the process we had to stop immediately, as only specific, positive thoughts were to
be allowed during the connection with the sphere. As soon as there was distraction - work had to
cease straight away.
The work with our sphere could be done anywhere. We could do it in our office upstairs above
the shop, our home, our car or even in someone else’s’ home; provided the same rules were
applied. No distractions from the work at hand and the objective location always kept in mind; in
our case – our business premises. I worked with our little sphere on the ‘Ring of Kerry’ road,
sitting on a wall at a lay-by overlooking the Atlantic Ocean; I also worked with it sitting in the car
in a car park in the Peak District National Park, in Derbyshire; wherever we went – we took our
precious crystal sphere with us!
It was hard in the beginning, but it got easier as time went on. The candle was lit, placed near the
sphere and after twenty to thirty seconds, work could begin (not immediately - as we had to allow
time for the monad of the sphere to adjust to the flame and expand the compositionary energetic
structure of the sphere. This exercise had to be performed at least five times per day, for anything
up to twenty to thirty minutes at a time. Gaps of at least a minimum of twenty minutes between the
exercises had to be included and when the exercise was finished, the candle flame had to be
extinguished and moved away from the sphere. This allowed the energetic structure to return to its
condition without the increased quad energies.
During this work, we were informed that it was as though a big 'wave' of energy was rising as a
result of the work, with our business on the top of it… as we continued our exercises; so the wave
got bigger and bigger…
It is easy to think that you can do this and keep doing it for a week to ten days… it is another
thing to run a business at the same time… On top of that, Nat was always working on the Element
of Harmony book which took up a lot of her time nearly everyday. Various events came along
which distracted us from performing the exercises as regular as we should have done… Days came
where we only did one or two exercises on those days, we were told that we needed to keep doing
them if we were to achieve our goal. Business began to drop away and we began to develop the
dreaded apathy about the whole affair.
When we were told that if we did not continue in a regular fashion - at least five times a day, that
it would actually not only 'undo' all the previous work with the sphere, but that it would create a
negative result - that was what we needed to hear… It kick-started us back into determined effort to
do this and finish it…So five to twelve times a day with absolute determination and positive
enthusiasm - we worked the exercises again, everyday, working more and more xxxxxx xxxxxxxx
xxx xxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxx. We went through several candles in a week
and kept going.
From the moment of waking up in the morning, to the last minute at night… the exercises
continued. When at last, some eight weeks after we had begun the work, we were told that the type
of exercise was to change once more and that this was near the end of the work… we were
delighted! There was one more day to go, and during this day, all the exercises had to include the
addition of time. Now we had to work as before, but to include 'that this can begin now' … So for
example - 'Now we can have more customers' or 'now we can have more sales', 'now we can have
more business success'. Always including the addition of the present time and allowing it all to
happen now… At ten o' clock at night when the last exercise was done, we went to sleep, tired and
not really knowing what to expect the next day…
It was unusual to have some customers waiting for us to open up our business in the morning. It
was further unusual for us to have a brisk and busy morning. This continued throughout the day
and when we closed that night, we'd had sales of five times what we would have normally had. We
were happy and a little nervous. The next day, we had an equally good business day and a lot of
customers just seemed to 'appear' after having been away for what seemed like ages… On the third
business day after or work had finished with the sphere, we received two parcels of stock items
we'd been waiting for - for a long time… That day was an exceptionally good sales day… It was as
though someone had lit us up with sunlight after being surrounded with darkness for so long… The
week continued and ended much better than average.
The Calcite sphere had to be 'de-activated' as its work was now done, we had shifted into a new
paradigm. We placed three small clear quartz crystals around ten centimetres from the sphere -
each with their point inwards and in a 'trine' formation (120 degrees apart). At the 'rough end' of
each crystal, we placed a piece of Hematite, and then left this set up on the table for two days.
Checking this set up out of curiosity, we observed three ‘streams of energy ‘running’ from the
sphere, through the crystals and through the Hematite. It was like three valves on a large inflated
balloon, each valve open and allowing a release of pressure.
After three days, the energetic field that had surrounded the sphere was depleted and gone,
nothing remained of the work and not even the thoughtforms were present. At this stage we
realised that our sphere could then be used for another reality change; should we have desired to do
another set of exercises. After all of these experiences, we decided not to put this information in the
book, though we thought about it for a while.
Only one person can work with a sphere during an exercise until it is completed, one person – one
sphere. If, like us, you have a partner and you wish to change a joint reality; it must be a mutual
decision. One person performing these exercises for the benefit of themselves and another without
that others’ consent is ‘playing with fire’. If you are alone in an issue and you want changes – then
you can create them by this means; but do be extremely cautious in what you desire to change. Do
not go straight into it; take your time to be absolutely sure about what you are doing. When you
start exercises like these, you can not stop half way through because you have suddenly changed
your mind; if you do, you are inviting chaos into your life. It would be like opening a door, walking
into a room, deciding you don’t like it and walking out again, but you can’t seem to close the door
behind you. Whatever is in that room begins to affect your life; and you then experience a mixture
of part normal and part deliberately changed realities. There is no quick way out of that, and the
door to that room will only slowly close as the thoughtforms slowly begin to diminish in their
power. |
