Where did the Crystal in the Alchemist’s Lost Treasure Come From?

Cycles of Light

Emerging

In an age before man, when Earth’s spirit spun into her purpose, magnificent crystals were formed that held the magic of her promise. It was then that her gifts took root and her destiny began to unfold. And time swirled into motion and Earth rode through planetary waves amidst the heavens. Galactic energies spiraled before her, revealing wisdom beyond the ages. Alive and emerging, the crystals embedded within the Earth glowed with powers and wonders — mysteries known only to gods that whispered in Earth’s ear as she flew by. And Earth rejoiced in her journey, knowing her destiny to be vibrant, glorious and exalted.

And then the spirit of man and woman descended upon Earth’s surface from realms beyond time and rose from her womb as flesh and bone. And the fates of  Earth and her human inhabitants were bound together — traveling season after season, as generations came and went. Their souls evolving, layer upon layer of experience cast in the light of epic dramas.

Crystals of all shapes, colors and sizes covered Earth. They seeded her sea beds, her mountain veins and the caverns deep under her surface. They were alive and filled with life-force, each one processing deep reservoirs of self-awareness. Imbued with purpose and destiny, they amplified the nature of human experience.

Vortexes swirled around the crystals, forming portals to hidden realms. Portals of truth and beauty… portals of will and wisdom… portals of love and forgiveness… portals of challenge and courage. The crystals rode the byways of Earth’s currents to find their appointed station and circumstance.

One such crystal came to rest in the shallows of the English shoreline and waited… and waited… until one bright, sunny day when it met its destiny.

It had spent eons forming in the molten rivers of Earth, bathed in the mother’s wisdom. Now, again, it was time to reside in the world of men. Once before on a distant continent, the crystal had guided the hand of men, only to return to its origin, to be nourished and renewed within Earth’s eternal glow.

Restored and imbued within its evolutionary spiral, there came a new task, to deliver uncommon knowledge to its next charge — to awaken awareness found deep within the heart of every man and woman, passed on from Earth and each of her elements, to each of her inhabitants. There, a state of grace resides beyond the chains of time and space. And the glory of life’s essence flows from its source, free and unencumbered, inspiring with works of wonder.  

But there was a danger, as before, as always. Once the crystal bound itself to humanity, no fate is certain. There is a kinship formed between Earth and her crystals and humanity that unleashes a mysterious alchemy, neither predicable nor subject to calculation.

Only within the realm of time is the tale told.
