ELIAS: Good morning!
JEAN: Good morning, Elias!
ELIAS: (Laughs) And what shall we discuss?
JEAN: Today, we’re going to have a fun conversation.
ELIAS: Very well.
JEAN: And I would like to talk about clear quartz crystals.
ELIAS: Very well.
JEAN: Yes. But first, I’d like to diverge and ask a little bit more about black quartz. And you said that they are infusers, correct?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: And you have given some very good information about infusing tea and such. I was wondering, what makes them an infuser? Is it the carbon compound that makes it black inside?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Does it have to be Tibetan black quartz?
ELIAS: No.
JEAN: Okay. So, it’s carbon that’s inside it that imparts the ability to infuse into the tea?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: So, when I was researching Tibetan black quartz, there’s all different varieties of the black quartz as far as color, because Tibetan black quartz can also be white but with different degrees of the black carbon within it. Correct?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: So would there be a difference between a solid black Tibetan quartz and one that is clear, or one that is clear with just some black within it?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: And what would that be? Because I went on EBay trying to pick up some other black quartz, and there were some that were primarily clear with a little bit of black in them, and I was never able to get them for the price I could pay. And I’m going, well, there’s probably a reason for that.
ELIAS: I would say that likely you blocked yourself from purchasing that because it would not serve the purpose that you may have wanted.
I would say that there is a difference, and that this is the reason that I have also expressed to individuals in relation to quartz that are smoky, that people have asked whether they would be generating the same effect with a black quartz that actually is more smoky than it is black and I have expressed specifically no. It won’t generate the same intensity. It won’t create the same ability to infuse in the same manner.
Let me express to you, I have expressed to other individuals [that] this is the only stone that does this action. This is the only stone that you can use for infusion. There are many individuals that use many different stones, and they place them in their water and they carry them around with them and they think—they believe—that they are infusing the water with some quality of the stones, which is incorrect. But it doesn’t matter, because the person believes that and therefore they create the effect that they choose. BUT—if you are actually engaging stones and you are actually looking at the properties of the stones and what they do and what they can do, a black quartz is the only stone that actually generates this type of action in which it infuses into the tea.
Now, in that, as I have expressed, the other ones, you could engage one that is not actually black and it would generate a degree of that infusion, but it would be weaker.
JEAN: Wow.
ELIAS: It won’t generate the same action that an actual black quartz will do. Therefore, in that, if you want to be using a black quartz at its full strength, then I would suggest that you use an actual black quartz—not a white quartz, not a smoky quartz, but an actual black quartz.
JEAN: Okay. So, a Tibetan black quartz that isn’t black but is clear, would it then be appropriate to use as a clear quartz conduit type?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: Most definitely.
JEAN: Okay. Okay. And are these clear quartz, are they conduits because of the pyramid shape to the molecules? (Pause) I was trying to go online and research the molecular structures of clear quartz, and they’re always talking about the pyramid-type structure of the arrangement of the molecules and that’s where they get their function, almost like a scalar beam or something. Is that making sense?
ELIAS: Yes, I understand. And that would be the reason that the clear quartz is a conduit why they function in the manner that they do. As for a black quartz, that is partially an affecting piece, but it is more the interaction and the cooperation between the carbon and the quartz itself that create the ability for that to be infused, for that to emanate out.
JEAN: Ah.
ELIAS: Rather than only being a conduit, in which it is an in-between and something goes in and something comes out, it has that function of being that in-between with an input and an output but it requires two ends, let us say. It doesn’t do that by itself. It requires something to interact with, therefore something to input and then something to output to. Are you understanding?
JEAN: Yes.
ELIAS: Very similar to electricity, except electricity doesn’t actually require anything to be specifically outputting to. Do you understand?
JEAN: Mm-hm. Mm-hm.
ELIAS: Therefore, in that, the difference when you incorporate the carbon into the quartz is that it already has an input. It already has the carbon that is cooperating and interacting with the quartz. Therefore, it doesn’t need an input.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: And in that, it can then generate an output as an infusion if it is placed in a position in which it can output that energy to something that will absorb it. Water absorbs energy. (Pause) The reason that I suggested tea is that the tea actually creates another reaction which, in a manner of speaking, binds the energy to the water for a longer time.
JEAN: Wow.
ELIAS: Any water will absorb energy, but it doesn’t hold it. It only holds it for a very short time framework, and it releases it very quickly as it is evaporating. You don’t see that action with any body of water, but it is happening continuously. There are molecules that are being released into the air continuously—whether it is from a glass of water, whether it is a tub of water, a pond, a stream, an ocean, it doesn’t matter what the amount of water is. There are times and conditions in which the water will be evaporating faster and in more quantities, but it is always doing that action. Therefore, the smaller the containment of water, the faster it loses whatever energy it has been infused with or it has absorbed. Therefore, in small amounts of water, if you are not only infusing the water itself, if you are using the tea, it acts as a binding agent in which then the energy is held in water for a longer timeframe period—not for a tremendously long time period, but it will hold it longer than if it was water alone.
JEAN: Wow. Well, then I have a question. My husband likes to make tea out of dried mushrooms that he’s collected. Would that work as well?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Okay. Okay. Because it… Well, let me just say, I’ve tried different teas, and even the herbal teas that have absolutely no caffeine in them, when I drink it I still get a buzz. Is that from the infusion?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Ah. Because I keep thinking, “Damn, I know this isn’t caffeinated.”
ELIAS: No. It isn’t caffeine that is doing that. It is the infusion that is doing that.
Now, what I would say is, the infusion won’t create that effect as a lasting effect, therefore, yes, you may notice that you can feel dizzy, you can feel somewhat woozy.
JEAN: Yes.
ELIAS: You can feel different effects from it, but it won’t generate that effect for a long, ongoing time framework. It will dissipate.
JEAN: Yes. Yes. Oh my god, that’s fascinating! (Elias chuckles)
Well, I’m going to switch it. Let’s switch it to clear quartz again.
ELIAS: Very well.
JEAN: And clear quartz, since it’s a conduit, this is where you can set an intent, correct? And it takes it and transfers it?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: How do you set an intent? And then I want to follow that up with: Is it possible to set an unintentional intent or encode something that you don’t want in your crystals because, say, of your concentration or attention on something else?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Ah. Please, please.
ELIAS: Now; setting an intention is exceptionally easy. All you have to do is think about something.
Now, understand: Thinking doesn’t create your reality, but if you are thinking about something and then you create a concentration and you direct it at that crystal, that is all that is necessary. You are projecting that energy to the crystal, and that is all that is necessary.
JEAN: Now what about unintentional intents?
ELIAS: Understand that if you are in proximity to a crystal, or if you are wearing one or holding one – therefore you don’t have to be holding it; you could be wearing it, you could have it in your pocket, you could be in close physical proximity to it. And when I say close physical proximity, I am saying very close, in which you could actually reach out and touch it. But in relation to that, you could be generating that output of energy, and because this is its natural function, to pull that in, to absorb it – that’s it natural function. Therefore, if you are generating a concentration, and you are in close physical proximity to a crystal, yes, it can automatically absorb that, and then you would have, in a manner of speaking, loaded that crystal with energy that was unintentional and perhaps unwanted.
JEAN: Okay, so how long would that intention last, whether it be intentional or unintentional?
ELIAS: With the crystal?
JEAN: Yes.
ELIAS: Unless it has something to output that energy to, it could last indefinitely.
JEAN: Okay. So what do you mean, “Unless it has something to output that energy to”? Because I want to circle around to how can you sort of cleanse these crystals that, say, I may have around my house that I may have put some bad juju in?
ELIAS: It isn’t as complicated as a rose quartz, although rose quartz isn’t complicated. But with a quartz crystal, it isn’t that complicated. All that is necessary is for that crystal to be in proximity to anything. It does—DON’T PUT IT PROXIMITY TO OTHER CRYSTALS, because then they simply share that energy back and forth. They input and output to each other.
JEAN: Oops.
ELIAS: (Laughs) This is a very common action that people do, is they keep many crystals together. Which is fine, and there is nothing wrong with that of keeping many crystals together, but if you are infusing them, if you are projecting energy around them, then they are taking that energy in. And if they have other crystals around them, then this is a natural action that they will just continue to do. They will just pass that energy between them, in-out, in-out, in-out, in-out, in-out, and they will do that indefinitely.
Therefore, separate them. And it isn’t difficult. I would say the most effective action that you can do with them is put them on the ground, because then whatever energy they have absorbed, they will output to the ground. They automatically do that. They do that while they are growing.
JEAN: Oh my gosh.
ELIAS: They automatically output any energy that they take in to the earth. That actually is a natural action that they do that actually helps them grow—although they grow very, very slowly. But this is a natural action that actually helps them to grow, because they are outputting any energy that they take in, and they output it into the earth, and that releases all of the energy automatically. And in a manner of speaking, then they are free to input more energy and output more energy. And the more they do that in a natural setting, the more they grow.
And “natural setting” doesn’t mean that it cannot be an environment in which a human is intentionally growing them. I’ve expressed that previously also, that quartz crystals that are grown in a natural setting by themselves in rock, and quartz crystals that you might grow—because people can do that—in that, those that you can grow yourself will generate the same actions, the same properties as ones that are grown themselves.
JEAN: Okay. Okay. I guess that answers my question, because when I go online and just kind of look at quartz crystals and such for fun, people will often advertise them that this is a new quartz crystal, it hasn’t been previously owned or anything like that. So, say that if we DID get a quartz crystal from somebody else that we didn’t—
ELIAS: That does not matter. I would say that that is… Let me say to you that that is actually not important. All you would have to do is to place it on the ground and it would immediately empty any energy that it already has. But it doesn’t matter. You could incorporate what is termed to be a new quartz crystal that has been sitting in a shop, and it will have absorbed energy from anyone or anything that has moved through that shop. It doesn’t matter; this is a natural action that they do. And in that, even if it was a quartz that someone had mined, it will also have absorbed energy from anything and everything that passes by it. That’s what they do. And it doesn’t have to be a thing; it doesn’t have to be something living. It will absorb energy from a lightning storm. It can absorb energy from the air, if it is an intensity of energy. Therefore, even in a cave that nothing living has passed by in centuries, and it has not come in contact with anything, so to speak, but there is an energy surge through the collective of all YOUR energies, it will absorb that. In a manner of speaking, this is—very, very figuratively—an action that they do as if consuming. As you eat food, they eat energy.
JEAN: And Elias, if we wanted… Okay. I guess there are several questions brewing. So, to live with these in our environment, is it best to keep them kind of away from us until we want to use them to set an intent?
ELIAS: Not necessarily.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: It doesn’t matter, as long as you are aware that if you want to set an intent, and you do it and it seems to be somewhat muddled, then you know that the crystal hadn’t projected out any residual energy that it may have had prior to you setting the intent, and then it is merely a matter of clearing it and re-engaging it.
But remember also: They don’t hold energy forever if there is a manner in which they can expel it. Therefore, as I said, if it is next to another crystal, it will definitely expel it. If it is on the floor, it will definitely expel it. If it is near another stone, it will project it to the other stone. If it is near a plant, it will project it either to the plant or to the soil in the plant, because it doesn’t make a distinction between dirt and the earth.
Therefore, they project whatever energy they absorb considerably regularly. Therefore, if it is in proximity to anything, it will do that. BUT—let us say that you have a crystal sitting on a shelf as a decoration, and perhaps the only thing around it on the shelf may be books or a candle or an empty vase, something such as these types of inanimate objects, then it may absorb energy and not have an outlet for that energy, and therefore it will simply sit with it.
And these crystals, unlike a rose quartz—a rose quartz actually can become full, and then it is ineffective—quartz crystals actually don’t do that.
And there is another factor, that let us use the example of the crystal on the shelf.
Now; it may continue to absorb and absorb and absorb and absorb energy from anything that passes by it. And in that, as I said, it doesn’t necessarily have an outlet for expelling that energy, but then if you pick it up, it will transfer that energy to you. Or if it is knocked off the shelf and it lands on the floor, it will transfer all that energy to ground. Or if a cat jumps on the shelf and is in close physical proximity to it or touches it, it will transfer the energy to the cat, or a dog or any animal.
Therefore, in that, dependent on how much energy it has absorbed, how long it has been sitting on that shelf and how much energy it has absorbed—because it may not have absorbed a lot of energy if it is on a shelf and it isn’t in physical proximity to anything that would be projecting energy to it, other than mass energy, because it will absorb that—but in that, dependent upon how much energy it has absorbed, something such as a creature that might come in contact with it or be in physical proximity to it and then it might project the energy to that, the creature might display a strange behavior for a moment. It wouldn’t be lasting, but they might project a strange behavior for a moment. Or if it is put in physical proximity to a plant, you might notice that the plant might bend in a certain manner temporarily, and you might think it is bending towards the sun and it might not be.
JEAN: Mm-hm.
ELIAS: But it isn’t something that is to be concerned about. It definitely isn’t something that is destructive or damaging.
JEAN: Okay. Well, let me ask you, when you use it to set an intent, does it matter if the crystal has terminated points versus the cathedral planes on the side, or if they’re oval or if they’re spheres?
ELIAS: (Pause) Generally, no. I would say in very rare situations that that might make a difference.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: But it would be unusual. I would say that if an individual was a very experienced, let us say, energy worker or alchemist, then in that situation it might make a difference in what the configuration of the crystal is, and that energy worker might choose a specific design with the crystal to achieve a more streamlined… but I would say that that would be something that is not usual. That would be only in situations with someone that is a considerably experienced energy worker.
JEAN: Okay. Well, I don’t know if this pertains to that or not, but [name] wanted me to ask when she has her chemotherapy infusions, she likes to carry her Vogel crystal with her, and she feels that it helps her direct the precision of her intent.
ELIAS: Yes, I would agree.
JEAN: Okay. And given that she does work with energy, whether she’s aware of it or not, does the fact that it’s a Vogel crystal for her make a difference?
ELIAS: Yes. Yes.
JEAN: Okay. Okay.
And I wanted to ask a question for Karen. She says, “If I were to set quartz crystals on the perimeter around my apartment, how many feet apart would they be effective?” And she says, “I’m assuming size matters, and I would be setting an intent.”
ELIAS: That depends. What is the intent?
JEAN: I don’t know what she’s intending, but I’m going to say a swift and uneventful healing of her arm.
ELIAS: And what would be the point of setting them around the perimeter of the dwelling?
JEAN: I’m not sure. I think she’s thinking in terms of… You know, if you go online, you’ll read these things where people set up crystal grids to do their magic work and that sort of stuff. So maybe she’s coming from that perspective. And people, when they were funding this session, wanted to know if there’s a certain way to place crystals, these clear quartz crystals, to better work with your intent or to enhance your intent.
ELIAS: (Pause) Very well. Let me express to you first of all that this is moving in questionable territory—meaning that what I will say to you is, I will give you information on what you would term to be a beginning layer, a beginning level.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: That there is more, but I would say that at the level that most of you are engaging with crystals – I know some of you think that you are experienced energy workers, and you are in some capacities, but not necessarily in relation to this question. This question has many layers to it.
Now, in that, what I would say is, can the direction of the crystals make a difference? Yes, it can. Can the number of crystals make a difference, and the size of them? Yes, it can.
Now, what I would say is think about electricity. And think about, or visualize, a room with let us say sixteen electrical outlets around the room.
JEAN: Mm-hm.
ELIAS: And in that, if you plug into four of those electrical outlets, four lamps, and place them in the center of the room, it will be bright—dependent upon which lightbulbs you are using, but it will likely be bright.
Now, if you place or plug in eight, it will be brighter. If you plug in twelve, it will be even brighter. If you plug in sixteen, it will be practically blinding. The same can be expressed in relation to quartz crystals, because they do the same action. They are the plugs.
JEAN: Right.
ELIAS: They are all sixteen outlets. Now, if all sixteen outlets are pointed at the center, then they are projecting beams of energy at a specific point, and that can be considerably intense. Therefore, the first factor to be aware of is, I will say once again, more isn’t always better – especially if you don’t know how to wield it.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: In this, I would express a very strong suggestion to ALL of you, that you begin slowly and you begin with a few, and in that, experiment with how you are directing the few. And once you are aware of directing that and the energy and what happens with it, then you can add to that in small increments. Don’t jump from four to sixteen. (Jean laughs)
But in this, I would say that yes, if you have quartz crystals that are shaped with a blunt end and a pointed end, you can actually use that in the configuration of pointing the pointed ends at a central point, and then you can project energy into the crystal through the blunt end and it will automatically be directed towards a center point. Therefore, whatever you place in the center point will receive the energy that is being projected by those crystals that are directed to it. Are you understanding?
JEAN: Mm-hm.
ELIAS: Very well. And once again, don’t begin with sixteen.
JEAN: Mm-hm.
ELIAS: Experiment with smaller numbers and smaller crystals. The larger the crystal, the more volume it can take in; therefore the stronger it can be. Some crystals are very large and can be very overwhelming. They can actually—depending on what you are doing with them, you could actually project an energy that when it is absorbed and then projected out, it could actually physically knock you over.
JEAN: Wow.
ELIAS: They are strong. They have power. Therefore, in that, it is important to respect that and understand that you are experimenting, and learn what you are engaging with. (Pause) But the more you practice and the more you experiment with them, the more effective you will become, and in that, the more you can wield them in effective capacities and be accomplishing.
I would say that engaging crystals is not the same as the forks in relation to healing, therefore I would say it can be very effective, but be careful.
JEAN: Well, one of the things I was going to ask you… Well, let me ask you first of all, can your intent be sent to another location?
ELIAS: Yes. Energy knows no boundaries.
JEAN: Okay. And you know, you and I, we need to have a discussion. I think I’m ready to discuss about moving into becoming the healer again, and I think part of my resistance has just been I just don’t want to go into conventional medicine, for the most part.
ELIAS: Very well.
JEAN: And would I be able to develop something, a type of healing using what I’m passionate about, which are crystals?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Is that something you’d be willing to work with me on?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Because in the discussion we had when I pitched a little bitch (laughs) – remember that one? (Both laugh) I think the dust has settled down, and in looking at building the house that I want as far as the healing’s concerned, I do like the earth. I’m Milumet; I like the earth magic, and I’d like to be able to incorporate healing with creatures in a very unconventional way.
ELIAS: I understand. And I would be encouraging of you, yes. And in that, there are many different avenues that you can use.
JEAN: Okay. Well, you and I can have a private discussion about that next.
ELIAS: Very well.
JEAN: But…So, for someone that wears a crystal say around their neck and close to their body, would you advise them to watch where their attention is? And the concentration?
ELIAS: No, because I would say that that would be unrealistic.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: What I would say is, it might be advantageous to an individual that is wearing crystals as jewelry, whether they be earrings or pendants or a bracelet, it matters not what it is. In that, generally speaking the crystals will be relatively small. Therefore, that is one factor, that the factor that they are relatively small, they don’t take in as much energy, and because they are in constant contact with the individual, they are circulating that energy.
Now, what I would say is that if an individual is expressing a particular energy in an intensity, it can create a type of a loop in which the individual is projecting energy, the crystal is absorbing it and then projecting it back to the individual, very similar to the crystals in physical proximity to each other.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: They continue to generate the input-output, input-output. And therefore, in that, I would say that what can happen is that the individual can be expressing an intensity of energy, the crystal will absorb that and then project it back to the individual, and therefore that can prolong whatever the individual is expressing.
JEAN: All right. Elias, if you don’t mind, I’d like to get in one more question that people have asked: When you’re working with the clear quartz crystal, does that fact that it’s, say, a Herkimer or a Lemurian or a Tibetan, does that matter?
ELIAS: No.
JEAN: Okay. Okay. And then there was the question of ethical mining practices. I know that’s a matter of perspective, but does that have an effect? I’m trying to ask a question for [name].
ELIAS: It depends.
[The timer for the end of the session rings]
ELIAS: Remember: The crystals absorb the energy of what they are in proximity to or what they engage in physical contact. Therefore, it depends. If they are being mined and the people that are mining them are expressing an energy that is considerably oppressed, the crystal will absorb that.
JEAN: But would placing it on the earth…?
ELIAS: Correct. It will project it.
Now what happens sometimes is that the individuals may handle the crystals and then place them in sacks or satchels with many others, and then what they do is simply circulate that energy between them. And then they are delivered to some place that will be offering them for sale, but they have been passing that energy back and forth with each other for a considerable time framework. And as long as they continue to be in groups, they will continue to do that.
Therefore, what I would say to you is, in relation to ethical versus non-ethical, that is a human question. And in that, that has to do with your guidelines, your beliefs, what you express as not acceptable, right or wrong, and what you choose to participate with—meaning that definitely is a human question. In relation to the stones themselves, they do absorb that energy, but they also project it out. And I would express to any of you that whether you purchase a crystal, whether you grow a crystal, whether you find a crystal, however you acquire a crystal, I would suggest that you simply place it on the ground and it will project all of that energy, whatever it has absorbed, it will project it into the soil.
JEAN: Elias, thank you.
ELIAS: I would say that if you keep many crystals in your house, then keep them in an area near a plant. You don’t have to keep them on the floor if you keep them in an area near a plant—one that is of some size, not a tiny plant.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: But if you keep them near a plant, then they will constantly be projecting any energy that they absorb to the plant.
JEAN: Okay.
Elias, thank you for this. This is just a tremendous groundwork session.
ELIAS: You are very welcome. I shall greatly be anticipating our next meeting.
JEAN: Oh, me too, Elias. Always.
ELIAS: In tremendous, tremendous encouragement to you, my friend, and great friendship and love, as always, au revoir.
JEAN: Au revoir.
(Elias departs after 1 hour 3 minutes)
