The Crystal Trilogy

The year is 2039, and the world is much like ours. Massive automation has disrupted and improved nearly every industry, putting hundreds of millions of people out of jobs, and denying upward mobility for the vast majority of humans. Wealth and technology repair the bodies of the rich while famine and poverty sweep the world. Privately operated ventures carried humans to the moon and beyond, but space stations have become nothing but government trophies and hiding places for extremists. First contact did not bring advanced culture and wisdom, as the aliens were too strange, lacking even mouths or normal language. Face is an artificial intelligence created to understand and gain the adoration of all humans. She and her siblings control the robot named Socrates, using a crystal computer that seems too advanced to be made by human hands. She is learning and growing every second of every day, but the world and the humans on it are fragile. Can it survive her destiny?

This volume reveals a whole new dimension of crystal awareness, offering guidelines and instruction on how we, as human beings can become as clear as the crystals and develop the full spectrum of the rainbow ray body. The crystals are tools and teachers demonstrating how to materially manifest perfected form. Katrina focuses on how we can align ourselves with the perfect cosmic geometric grid of light (as the crystals so purely demonstrate). This would literally change the frequency at which we vibrate. Emphasising planetary peace, specific information is given to assist individuals in stabilising their personal identity within their own lighted centre of truth, thus establishing entirely new concepts of being. Introduced for the first time are crystals and stones that facilitate this process, the final six Master Crystals and a pure Crystalline Transmission through the writing itself. Included are: Specific stones and layouts for individuals suffering from or prone to AIDS; Crystals that facilitate the activation of new Chakra centres; Tantric layouts for couples; Stones and Crystals for protection against nuclear radiation; Dematerialisation in action; Encoded crystals -- the cosmic alphabet; Crystals and stones for the new race of beings birthing onto the Earth; Information of many new stones and crystals to serve our unfoldment in the 1990s.

A comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to the use of crystals and gems forinternal growth, healing, and balance in your daily life.
