Are We Safe With Crystals and Angels?
Yesterday someone who read the previous reply, asked why do crystals and angels expose us? Sharing the response here too.
I frequently ask my students.
What is a Reiki healer?
It is a human being who receives energy from the Universe and passes it on.
What is a crystal?
It is a stone that receives energy from the universe and passes it on.
Which is likely to be stronger – a human being or a stone?
Silence.
What is spirituality? What is spiritual growth? It is aligning with our own spirit – coming into alignment with our innate power and wisdom. However, much of the true message of spirituality is not what we want to hear. If you come to me with a problem and I say – intensify your practice, that is discouraging. If instead I say here, wear this bracelet and all will be well, that will be Rs. 5000 please, you’re overjoyed. We seek to give our power away – and that heads in the opposite direction of where the spiritual path takes us.
Having an esoteric practice increases our ‘light’, and giving our power away becomes more lucrative – both for the receiver and the giver, because great power = great responsibility and often loneliness, which seems like a pain. When we count on a stone to help us, we are telling the universe that we are smaller than a stone. When we turn to the angels to beg them for help, we’re losing touch with our own inner guidance, and simply projecting onto imaginary beings what we have been projecting onto other human beings so far.
There’s nothing wrong with using crystals and taking the help of astral beings. Tools are tools – we use many of them. Problem is, most of the times we are doing it out of a feeling of lack rather than genuine inner guidance (which actually happens quite infrequently). Inner lack does not open us up to the divine forces, it does on the other hand, open our energy fields to the hungry spirits nearby, who are happy to masquerade as whoever you think you are in submission to.
