I would like to describe the phenomenon of observing the world of stars on the one hand and the world of plants on the other, from the point of view of inner experience. My explanation will not be supported by any tradition, literary or otherwise, though may rest lightly upon various information gleaned across the libraries of human knowledge. I perceive archetypal forms present in the cosmos, and that they are mirrored in the earth, not as reflected images of lifeless, unreal, nebulous forms, but as concrete reflections created by the earth in the form of living plants, terrestrial and aquatic biologies, and the mineral material of the earth itself. I propose a consciousness that works independently of sensory impressions which offers to provide an empathetic and symbiotic perspective upon what we might call the spiritual ocean of the universe, in order to develop the capacity to perceive clairvoyantly not only the animal and plant kingdoms, but also the mineral kingdom and especially that part which is crystalline in structure.

To maintain a presence of mind while meditating upon the potential spiritual vistas evoked by the material world, directing a spiritual eye from cosmic space to the earth suspended over a terrifying abyss, a void of the unknown and unknowable. Suspended by this sensation, I am obliged to contemplate relationships of the total environment, to see the kingdoms as a totality, everywhere converging currents of energy flowing through various degrees of resistance. Everything is mirrored in its own element. Crystals can be formed as cubes, octahedrons, tetrahedrons, rhomboids, dodecahedrons, monoclinics, triclinics, every conceivable kind of structure in fact, and as constituents of the earth -- are indeed the earth itself -- reveal the multitude of beings whose activities culminate in the mathematical-spatial forms of the crystals. They were once used to recognize the presence of the gods (the possibility of whose existence we no longer entertain) as an expression of reverence, of adoration even towards the universe, full of sublime secrets of our souls rather than theoretical knowledge of a purely intellectual basis.

The reality of this world is illusory in comparison with that sublime reality which is revealed to us when we follow an idea/experience beyond the gateway of death (of the ego). Not a loss in consciousness, but rather to make it deeply infused and interfused through the relinquishment of the physical body. A human being is the prisoner of a single, insulated world because she knows only one state of consciousness; in all other states she is asleep. If we awaken and develop them, we can experience other worlds. The secret of spiritual investigation is that human beings transform themselves through transmutation of mind. One cannot penetrate into other worlds by adopting conventional methods of research and investigation; we must undergo metamorphosis, transform our consciousness into the new forms.
