Crystal Skulls May Help to Bring World Peace!

….. A Crystal Skull You Say – and World Peace, Together?

Many people have learned about crystal skulls (pieces of quartz crystal carved or created into a likeness of a human skull) when the last Indiana Jones film aired back in May of 2008.  Unfortunately how real crystal skull investigators and spiritually opened people experience the crystal skulls is not exactly what was shown on the screen…

I know I made a bold statement in the title of this article… I am going to support it with some experiences I have had with these crystal friends and what they represent.

First of all, I saw my first “ancient” crystal skull, ( a skull made 1000 years or older) in 1983.  As I was just gazing at a photo of this crystal skull, a strong inner vibration was set off inside of me and I just knew, at that moment, crystal skulls were vital for the future of humanity (this was a soul knowing-ness). 

The crystal skull that I met that day is publicly known as “Ami” (which means friend) and it is made out of amethyst quartz, about 8 lbs in weight representing a child’s skull and was uncovered in the early 1900’s, near a Mayan ruin in Mexico.

Let’s continue with a few more experiences as bullet points so you get an idea of how the crystal skulls can effect you  personally and what has been seen from a research perspective:

a) Flash — had an opportunity to visit in Indiana, the home of Bill Homann, the guardian of the famous “Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull of Love” (clear quartz, two pieces, human size, ancient skull) in March of 2008 for a private session — I brought three personal skulls with me, which I placed in a triangular shape around the skull (a big one in the front and two smaller ones in the back) and while listening to favorite songs on my MP3 player had contact with a universal being (beings more than an individual entity) and felt as if I was experiencing what it was like to be in Heaven (it was so calm and peaceful).

b) Flash — Christmas Time, 1991, in my current home near Chicago, Joke Van Dieten, the guardian of “ET” (smoky quartz, alien looking, human size, ancient skull) was visiting . While meditating with the crystal skull, I saw the face of a man, possibly a Mayan Priest in the skull . During this visit,. we brought this crystal together with the Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull in Indiana and also to the Bahai Temple north of Chicago. Both of these experiences were unbelievable.

c) Flash — Northern part of Peru in the Andes Mountain. While staying in a very primitively built house and quite small, I had two visions of a totally translucent Sky Blue colored human sized Crystal Skull, two pieces with a tall masculine being standing behind it.  Later when visiting the area known as Laguna Negra, a spirit speaks to me and gives the history of this crystal skull linked to the Lord of Sipan from the Moche Culture which is pre-Inca.

d) Flash — Crazy Experiments with our newly created crystal skull called “Portal de Luz” (“Portal of Light”, smoky quartz, one piece, 10 lbs) — in tests with a device called a meridian stress test machine in both America and Europe the crystal was balancing the energy of the various meridians in the test subjects’ bodies from 90-95%.

When a meditation was done with this skull in a crop circle in England, by my ex-wife, Blue Arrow Rainbow Eagle Woman in 2004, a lay line coming in from behind her broke into 2 parts and remained this way for the rest of the day. She said that during her mediation, she had contact with two aliens who were puzzled why we humans were not just enjoying the Crop Circle they made and trying to prove it was a fake. And finally in a recent test with this skull by Joshua P. Warren in Asheville, N.C. when exposed to a watch that was radioactive — “Portal de Luz” absorbed or blocked about 60% of the radiation and when exposed to 300,000 volts, he just smiled and asked for more…

Conclusions:

1) These ancient crystal skulls are the computers from civilizations in the far past containing information that can help our world see total peace and harmony — we just have to figure out how to receive this knowledge.

2) All crystal skulls have the ability to store amazing energy and the vibrational frequencies of everything that happens around them, if this skull has been already activated or opened.

3) The crystal skulls act like living beings with an intelligence — the newly made skulls even are speaking to their guardians and tell the guardians what to name to give them.

4) A number of the indigenous prophecies state that the crystal skulls are involved in helping to create our future. Some prophecies say there is a special set of crystal skulls (13, 24, 72, etc …) that will come back together … And when they do, this is the catalytic moment which takes us into a golden age.

5) For now they are acting as a catalyst to awaken within the people they meet, their inner divinity, as well as an awareness and contact with a divitnity!

So now you know why the study of the skulls has captured over 26 years of my life – it has never been boring!  More and more crystal skulls (the old ones) are being found and coming out each day — it’s an exciting time!!

Thanks for listening, in peace and light always,
