So I remember a post from a while ago I think by Dan where he mentioned about forcing silence with rocks or amethyst crystals. Would quartz be a good substitute? I recently got really lucky on one of my trips outside into nature. I was out with some friends exploring one of there favorite spots which just so happened to have a large mass of water next to it and many trees covering it. We proceeded to move past the trees onto a beach like area. We stopped and as I looked around I was immediately attracted to this one spot where trees roots were intertwined forming a platform almost like the top of a pirate ship where a captain keeps watch with his one lense telescope. After standing there (had to do a little parkour) I looked down and there it was, 32 quartz crystals and 3 unique looking rocks. (There was more but thatās all I brought at the time) essentially, how would the effects vary when it comes to Quartz Vs Amethyst when trying to force silence. I was thinking I might have them sit around me or in my pockets as I do tensegrity. I would try to force silence too but I donāt know how well it will work out for me. Thank you for your time.

The type of material isnāt that important. Stone, Quartz, Amethyst, Steel etc. What is important is that whatever you use has two FLAT SIDES, decent length, and is ergonomic enough that you can hold them between your fingers for an extended period without an inordinate amount of pain:

And the first comment in that post links to the two previous posts with more information:

You want intense-enough sensation, but not injury! You can get that with either the weight of the flat-sided river stones, or the points of the smooth-sided quartz etc.
The other supremely important component is INTENT.
Oh okay I see, now one more question? Do i absolutely have to dispose of the crystals when Iām done or, can I bury the rest and keep one of the nicer ones as a necklace for myself?
I am new to this group, just joined about two weeks ago. Reading through everything. So much great information, thank you so much everyone! I work a lot with crystals, and Quartz is one of the best ones for storing and directing intent.
I was actually going to ask a question about using crystals with darkroom gazing because I have some crystals that have already shown a lot of promise for helping tune in and clear the mind and focus intent. Iām finding lots of synchronicities with things that Iām wondering about and then seeing a new post about it in this group.
Iām 3 months new to this group myself. I am constantly finding myseld going back to synchronicities that I had noticed in the past and connecting the dots. Iāll be pondering a subject and then the next day there will be a post about it. I presume it has to do with our intent. Because we are putting our will to understand these things, the more advanced members in here are open to that power and are presented with lessons to help us understand. Iāve found myself humbled as Iāve asked questions and did not receive the answer or validation I was looking for, but nevertheless it was the answer I needed.
Have you read the books yet? It was so hard for me to decipher this sub at first, but now that Iāve been reading (Iāve been listening to the audio books actually) things are really starting to make sense.
I read The Art of Dreaming, The Sorcerersā Crossing by Taisha Abelar, and Being in Dreaming by Florinda Donner in high school. I have not read them since. I have started reading the first Carlos Castaneda book (since the one I read is actually book 9, and I need to read that one on dreaming again, too), and plan to read them all. I think it will help a lot, too.
Iāve had a lot of experiences over my life, and I am reframing them all within this system to align more fully with this intent as I move forward. I was following Carlosā instructions for dreaming back in high school, and was having lots of lucid dreaming, etc., but when I encountered IOBs I got scared off. Eager and ready to move forward again.
And I agree, the more advanced members in here are open to that power, but I think that it can be true of any of us here, if we are in line with the intent at any given time, and we are drawn to post something that someone else here might need or benefit from, such as posting a question someone else here is seeking information on as well.
