		<description>[...] Have been seeing a lot of positive chatter lately out of the ham community around the subjects of what is the amateur radio service and where is it going. Addmitedly, my exposure to the culture, community &#38; history which supports and perpetuates this important technological paradigm has been limited. I&#8217;m a newbie and I haven&#8217;t taken any of the FCC exams or received my initiatory shamanic call sign/alphanumeric spirit animal, nor do I own any radio equipment - aside from a couple FM-AM receivers and an old borrowed CB handset with some crystals inside of it. I don&#8217;t even think they are the magic kind. [...]</description>

		<description>I'd think that plants would make better consciousness resonators than crystal - plants are sensitive and adaptive, crystals are hardwired and inflexible.  That said, "piezoelectric" is an awesome and important word no matter where it shows up. I for one welcome our crystalinks overlords.</description>

		<description>One of the products I did at work recently was a "crystal powers healing" kit.  It's pretty new-agey, but it might be a good basic intro, plus it comes with crystals as well as instructions on how to care for them.  

The basic idea is that the molecular form of the crystal resonates energy in a certain wait, which you can tap into and use subconsciously.  Certain crystals forms are good for certain kinds of energy.  Oh, and after you use them, you have to either bury them or wash them in salt water.  Something like that anyway, I'm quoting from memory here...

Hit me up on the email if you're interested, we probably have some extras around here somewhere.</description>

		<description>In my experience, 'using' crystals is akin to performing a ritual. It gives your brain something to occupy it attention while your spirit can do what it needs to do (unencumbered by ego, second guessing the experience, etc.)

Some people claim connecting to the akashic through crystals, though I have not experienced that myself.</description>

		<description>A crystal radio is a way of receiving an AM signal... separates the low-frequency audio from the high-frequency 'carrier'.</description>
