Not a single one of these things is provable by science, and if a person says they believe in it there is no possible way to disprove their experience either.
I don't believe that crystals have an innate healing energy. But I have been crystals by friends who do believe in their healing energy, and that is plenty enough for me to get comfort from them. One of our littles was given a tiny box filled with a crystal world by another system's alter (aptly named Crystal  ) and it is one of our most dearest possessions. It is over 20 years later now, but that little box of crystals has given us more comfort and solace than anything else in this world. |
Im confused. why would i let things go when dealing with my own mental illness and my own situation with crystals. my post is clearly about the fact that ...I ....tried it... and it didnt work for ....me... and upon investigation as to why it did not work for....me... I discovered what and why it did not work for me..
Im not the type of person that sits back and ok it worked or it didnt work for me. that kind of thinking leads my thoughts into things like something is wrong with me if what everyone or what worked for someone I know didnt work the way they said id does. I want to know whether the problem is me or a defective object...
think of it this way what if I had bought a crystal that was supposed to have had an energy source in it. I could have taken it back to the store I bought it in and get it exchanged or my money back. just like I would have if I bought a lamp with a label that says it turns on and off and glows in the dark. if that lamp doesnt turn on and off and glows in the dark Im going to find out if I bought a defective lamp of if I am doing something wrong and if I got a defective lamp take it back...
in the situation with the crystal i wrote in to the company and also notified the better business bureau. that company is now selling the crystals as not containing any energy source now but as a jewelry stone with a disclaimer on the packaging stating there is no energy source with in the rock. (in other words no longer defrauding the public by mis- advertising.
my thoughts on the idea of letting things go... its right up there with people telling people to just get over it about their mental illnesses, physical health and other problems in their lives. in my thoughts its also in the idea that if people just let things go then there probably would not be a psych central or even mental health agencies. people like to know whats what and why things work or dont work and whether crystals work for them and why.
in this situation the crystal didnt work for me and I set out to find out why it didnt work for me.
