Ancient civilizations used crystals for healing. They understood how the energies of crystals amplify healing. Atlanteans erected huge crystal healing temples. Their civilization was based on the use of stored and direct use of crystal technology. The ancient Mayans, Hebrew, Vedic and Native American cultures used crystals and gem stones both in spiritual rituals and as aids to physical healing. Those who practice the ways of the ancient cultures continue to use crystals as healing tools. Crystals were used in the earliest shamanic rites as tools for initiation and healing, for talismans, for prophesy and for meditation.

Hindu sage and seer, Lama-Sing, has said of the forgotten crystal technology: "The Atlanteans used the knowledge of the crystal refraction, amplification and storage. It is known that a beam of light directed intensely and focused specifically on certain series of facets in a gem will, when it exits from the reflective plane of the gem, be amplified rather than diminished. Furthermore, these amplified energies were broken down into a wide and sophisticated spectrum. The Atlanteans used the spectrum of this energy so as to be more usable, and for a specific purpose, much as one would use petroleum in terms of its various spectrum limitations for specific purposes. Extracting this and that and other things from the same basic substance, they used certain divisions of the energy for growing things. Others for healing, others for knowledge or increasement of substance. Other phases of spectrum for disassembling molecular structures and yet other combinations of these strata for building, assembling structures, as in chains; or producing matter, transmutation of matter and that sort. Their basic technology is still available in the earth plane in various locations. When it is proper and when it is in accord with God's will you shall have it again. But with it will come a burden of spiritual decision and needed growth. Man cannot have hate, hostility, and anxiety within his being. He must replace this with love, tranquillity, compassion and patience. For at the time these knowledges are recovered, man will have many of the so-called secrets towards the creation, and conversely the destruction of matter. Crystals have the ability to transfer energy, to retain it, to maintain its intensity, to focus and transmit it over great distance to similar receivers as are equal or comparable to the transmitter. Thus, from one pyramid to another the Atlanteans, in a sense, transmitted energy. That when the face of the earth, as it is called, was directed toward a certain point one pyramid would function to intensify and transmit energies to other pyramids which would then act as receiving devices and would disperse energy as it was needed. The opposite would be true, when that pyramid was at unfocusable point to their celestial alignment the others would transmit to those. Very simple method, very effective method. Though it brought them many difficulties later."

Dr. Frank Alper, founder of the Arizona Metaphysical Society, gave the following description on how ancient crystal systems worked, for protecting and energizing a large metropolis: "Around the perimeter of the city of Orax, were placed several thousand crystals, elongated in shape and hexagonal on the sides. They served as the grounding points for this magnetic dome. Through these crystals was generated the magnetic field that protected the city. The power to these crystals was generated from the central core which was exactly in the center of the city. The power of the core was conducted to the crystals on the perimeter through a system of copper rods. These rods lead from the center core to each of the crystals in perimeter. From these rods, dissecting the diameter of the city, there were many thou sands of points where the energy could be drawn off to supply power necessary for other functions and uses. These rods were placed approximately six feet beneath the surface of the ground and also served to make the earth quite fertile to produce food and vegetation. 'When entry into the city was desired by a visiting ship, the power to one or two of the crystals was lowered to create an opening in the magnetic field to allow for the entry of the ship. If this was not done, the ship would have crashed, for it could not have penetrated the force field."

The energy of the Crystal was used for various purposes, in different periods of Atlantean history. In the beginning, about 50,000 years ago, the Great Crystal was operated exclusively by the Initiates, or those spiritually advanced enough to handle such a tremendous source of power. At first, the energies were used as a means of communication between "the finite and the Infinite" (an oracle), the Crystal was the development of a prehistoric Wisdom which, as in the later Golden Age, recognized that all energies in the universe are but aspects of one energy and one Mind. There are, as were set in the beginning, as far as the concern is of this physical earth plane, those rules or laws in the relative force of those that govern the earth and the beings of the earth plane and also that same law governs the planets, stars, constellations and groups that constitute the sphere (the space in which the planet moves). These are of one force and we see the manifestations of the relation of one force with another in the many various phases as is shown. As the people of early Atlantis were a peaceful people, their developments took on other than that form, with the developing into the physical material bodies, of the fast development or to the using of the elements about them to their own use. Recognizing themselves to be a part of that about them. That spirit that uses matter, that uses every influence in the earth's environment for the glory of the Creative Forces, partakes of and is a part of the Universal Consciousness. As time progressed, the Atlantean civilization matured further, the Crystal's energies were also utilized in rejuvenating the human body. The Atlanteans were able to live hundreds of years, yet always maintain a youthful appearance. As technology advanced in Atlantis, the energies of the Crystal were put to a wider variety of material uses. Currents of energy were transmitted throughout the land (like radio waves) and the power was used by crafts and vehicles that traversed the land through the sky and under the sea at the speed of sound. By utilization of other currents originating from the Crystal, the Atlanteans were also able to transmit over the human voice and pictures over great distances. In the same manner, even heat and light could be directed to specific buildings or open arenas, giving illumination and warmth by seemingly invisible means. Toward the end of their existence, The Atlanteans became greedier for more power. The operation of the Crystal was taken over by those of less spiritual fortitude and the energies of the Great Crystal were tuned to higher and more destructive frequencies. The Crystals were tuned too high, activating volcanos and melting mountains, ultimately causing the submergence of Atlantis, and perhaps even the axis shift of the Earth itself.

A considerable amount of research is being done today in the use of both low power and high power light waves for controlling cancer and skin ailments. In the Soviet Union, light beams with an output of only one three-thousandths that of a household 60 watt light bulb have been discovered to stimulate skin rejuvenation and aid in skin grafting. In Hungary, Germany and Scandinavia doctors are also successfully experimenting with "laser-puncture" or healing by the projection of light waves on body acupuncture points. In Denmark, the Finsen Institute of Copenhagen has had remarkable results by giving cancer patients "light baths" of green, blue and ultraviolet spectrum radiations. We are now starting to understand the basics of a medical science once far in advance than ours today.
