Joshua Shapiro and Blue Arrow Rainbow are the co-authors of the new book "Journeys of the Crystal Skull Explorers" (released in Holland and Poland so far with the English version expected late spring or early summer of 2008).  Portions of this interview was originally published in the Spanish language for a magazine called Mas Alla. Also an on-line version was granted to StarChild Global of South Africa (their website is located at:  http://www.starchildglobal.com/  )

What is a crystal skull and what types of crystal skulls exist?
______________________________________________________________________

A Crystal Skull as the term suggests is nothing more and nothing less then a piece of quartz crystal that is taken from the ground and then shaped by a talented artesian into a human shaped skull. This skull can vary from all sizes -- from the size of a small marble to one that which is several times the size of a human bone skull. Sometimes "crystal skulls" are referring to skulls carved from other gemstones but the true definition is one that is made specifically from quartz crystal.

There are three types of crystal skulls normally referred to, this set of definitions was developed by the Society of Crystal Skulls International.

A) New or Contemporary Crystal Skulls -- crystal skulls being made by modern carvers today who are using diamond-tip tools (saws and wheels) to shape the skulls, thousands of such skulls are being carved today

B) Old Crystal Skulls -- crystal skulls made over 100 years ago to about 1000-1500 years ago -- using various type of tools used by past cultures and civilizations to form a skull

C) Ancient Crystal Skulls -- crystal skulls made over 2000 years and much much further in the past, perhaps thousands, hundred of thousands or millions of years ago

There is no known absolute scientific test that can truly determine when a crystal skull was created -- but one can generally experience a very powerful energy linked to the so-called Ancient Crystal Skulls more so than with the more modern ones. This does not mean however that one crystal skull is greater or lesser then another or more important. In order to fully understand the Crystal Skulls, we believe it is of vital importance to study each one, all of the three different types. Each one then becomes a teacher that is able to provide for us far more insights into all of them, this is of course our humble opinion!! :--)


____________________________________________________________________________

Why do you think that archeologists and scientists generally have ignored the crystal skulls so far in conducting further studies? ____________________________________________________________________________

We believe (and in a way this makes perfect sense logically) that if there are strange physical phenomena that are occurring in the presence of a particular crystal skull and if most scientists chose to ignore an investigation of such activities, this can suggest that such phenomena just does not fit into the so-called accepted and established modern scientific theories of reality. Thus, we would assume that it would be much easier to pretend the crystal skulls don't even exist or that the people who are witnessing such phenomena or having a powerful experience when they are in touch with a crystal skull must be totally crazy. Because, a scientist might ask him/herself:  "How can just a piece of quartz crystal have such a strong energy around it that it physically changes its color, weight or how it appears inside? This is against the laws of modern physics!!

Similarly for an archeologist, if there exists an object who's history is unknown or that it could not have possibly been manufactured by primitive cultures of the past (as there is the belief that mankind today is the most advanced race of humanity to have ever existed) then it is easier to ignore such an object or artifact than to try to explain why and how it could have come into existence.

Perhaps because of the implications and results we have uncovered in our own personal research working directly with the crystal skulls, and because some of these results tend to refute accepted scientific or historic principles, these professionals prefer to completely ignore the crystal skulls or have decided that they are not worthy of any form of research or study at all. Fortunately, there are individuals and organizations in the world (such as our Crystal Skull WorldFoundation) who intuitively and inherently understand the importance of the crystal skulls and are pursuing through all means possible to create ongoing studies, experimental tests and related research as well as attempt to correlate  such studies with the legends and information that is at times shared by various indigenous cultures in the world who know about the crystal skulls and have had contact with them.

But a scientific or historical study of the crystal skulls does not include a good explanation about why there exists a strong energy field that surround these crystalline objects.  An energy field which seem to have a strong or profound effect upon individuals who have contact with the skulls. There is not adequate space in this article to thoroughly discuss what type of personal experiences people are having linked to contact with the crystal skulls, for which this is a completely another aspect to understanding the skulls and an important area of research.  But this is why we have written our new book, "Journeys of the Crystal Skull Explorers", where we have the space to share such information.

Thus, because the phenomena that is linked to the crystal skulls is unexplainable related to so-called modern accepted scientific theories (for the scientists), and the technologic advancement required to make the skulls which appear to be associated with various past cultures and civilizations from a historic perspective (for the archaeologists), the study is ignored by these professionals in general.  Therefore, it is our one of our goals through our research foundation, to see if we are able to locate some scientists or archeologists who might be open to new possibilities and would consider to join us and become a key part of future research projects. If there is such a trained individual who is reading this article for example and is intrigued by what they are reading, please feel free to contact us.


___________________________________________________________________________

Ok, but would it be possible if you could just briefly discuss then,
for our readers, some small examples of the type of person's accounts you receive from people all over the  world who are
having contact with one or more crystal skull?. 
___________________________________________________________________________

cheyenne.jpg
There are two kinds of individuals who contact us (mostly through email, but sometimes via a letter, telephone call or meet us in person) that are having experiences when they are having a contact with one or more crystal skulls:

1) People who have their own crystal skulls

Today there are many carvers in the world making crystal skulls (predominately in Brazil and China but there are other carvers doing so who live basically all over the world) -- so if an individual wishes to own their own crystal skull, there are many places to find and buy one. Such as on E-Bay, new age or crystal stores or through various people who either are teachers about the crystal skulls and sell them, as we do at times ourselves, or crystal skull sellers and distributors.

One common type of experience we hear repeated from such individuals is about some type of telepathic communication they have with their crystal skulls which results in the creation of a name for the skull.  It is if there is an intelligence or consciousness that is working through the quartz which speaks to this person and requests a specific name which is a reflection of the essence of this consciousness and how it wishes to interact with its caretaker and other people. We use the word "caretaker" or "guardian" to describe such a person as we do not believe that one is truly an owner of a crystal skull, but rather is the individual or individuals that this particular quartz crystal has chosen itself to be with. So that the crystal skull can offer his/her (yes they also take on a gender in most cases but some can switch at times) assistance to help that particular person in their own individual soul path and growth and possibly, at some future time, to work together as a team to help many other people in some special way or offer a service.

So a caretaker is the person who fondly takes care of the well being and spirits of a crystal skull (or skulls) and then, if they properly understand what they are doing and listens or feels carefully to what their crystal skull asks for, will eventually help to activate the skull and bring it more fully to life. We also have discovered for ourselves as well as  a number of other caretakers that the crystal skull will eventually communicate with you directly in some fashion (usually based on which of the inner gifts you are personally using) to discuss: "his"/ "her" personal dislikes and likes; the activities the skulls wishes to participate in (with or without its caretaker); which location "he"/"she" wants to explore and visit to experience the energies in that location and well, this list can go on and on. When one agrees to become a caretaker of a crystal skull, their whole life will change and we feel can become rather exciting and interesting!! (Is this for you??)

2) A person who is not a caretaker of a crystal skull but has had an opportunity to be in the presence of one or to hold and touch it for a time:

Please find below, a short list of the type of experiences various people have reported to us over the years:

a) Quick or instantaneously healings of all kind of illnesses, emotional or past
    life blocks
b) profound dreams after meeting one or even before meeting the skull
c) expansion of ones inner gifts -- or a new spiritual gift that just becomes active
d) going into altered states of consciousness -- even channeling information from
    other intelligent sources
e) expansion and upliftment of one's creative gifts, whether such gifts are   
    consciously known or not
f) contact with intelligences from other dimensions or planets
g) receiving energy and becoming energized
h) having visions or reliving past lives
i) leaving ones physical body and projecting into other dimensions or the past
   or the future
j) receiving information or knowledge telepathically -- such information can be
   inspirational to help a person in their life or it can have to do with cosmic
   knowledge or knowledge held and programmed into the skull by advanced
   civilizations from our past

There are many other types of such experiences that we hear about but this list should give to the reader a good feeling about what can happen if you decide to take the plunge and make direct contact with one of our crystal friends!!
 

________________________________________________________________________

How old are the ancient crystal skulls really?  Do they originate
from Atlantis, Lemuria or a Mayan civilization ...?  
________________________________________________________________________

Again based on our definition of an ancient crystal skull being at least 2000 years or much much older -- how old can they be, who can say?

We believe for ourselves, related to our own past life memories that we are consciously aware of, that we did have an intimate contact with the crystal skulls before; that they were definitely involved with the very cultures and people you are asking about, the Maya, Atlanteans and Lemurians. We have heard from other people that they share a similar feeling or knowingness of the skulls be connected to these cultures and times as well. 

The Maya culture which is still present today, from the limited contact we have had with people (shamen) from this culture, (they are one of the few indigenous people who are openly willing to share this knowledge) they also discuss that the very old skulls were not made by them but came from Atlantis.  So there appears strong evidence the crystal skulls were a key tool used by at least, this ancient civilization and continue to be honored, revered and used in sacred ceremony by the Maya.

For example, Blue Arrow Rainbow and I have seen through our own inner visions or mind's eye definitely working in the temples of Atlantis where the crystal skulls were present and actively used -- attended to by the Priests and Priestesses. However it was the Priestesses who had the innate ability to help to open and activate the crystal skulls. Here is what Blue Arrow Rainbow remembers from her former lifetimes:

"I have seen during the last 6 years many former lifetimes in which I was very intensively working with Crystal Skulls. My work generally encompassed opening the crystal of the skull and activating it for specific purposes.  Also I worked with "my" own inner crystal skull and "my" crystal skeleton for healing others or to help to elevate the vibration of the other priestesses. But I also saw myself molding or creating a particular crystal skull and then merging frequencies or knowledge of sacred objects, sacred places and highly respected persons within the skull, to be stored safely for future uses.

This work was done in temples during Atlantian, Lemurian and Egyptian times as well as on other planets in our solar system. I discovered that I had many lifetimes where I worked in one way or another with these wonderful crystalline beings."

For a personal link to Lemuria, let us tell you a story. In 2002, we had the opportunity to visit a remote location in the northern part of Peru, high up in the Andes mountains. (Note: Some people believe the Andes Mountains resulted when the continent of Lemuria or Mu sank and then the land masses in South America rose, forming these mountains.) This location was near a sacred lagoon used by the local shamen for curing and healing people. Here we both saw in our inner mind, that in this location,  once had stood a great Lemuria Temple. At the exact spot we were sitting, which today is just a small circle of stones, but here there once existed a grand temple.  Where we were in this moment, once stood a circular room within this temple. On the walls in this room were glass cases and within each rested a different colored crystal skull.

Of course, we ourselves can not definitively prove that Atlantis or Lemuria truly existed or that these so-called very old civilizations from our distant past work closely with the crystal skulls, some of these skulls might actually be  ones that are known publicly.  Although we do believe that there has been discovered a kind of physical proof to substantiate that these cultures were very real, still the professional researchers don't seem to be ready yet to accept such proof. Therefore, we can only say that for both of us, within the core of our being we know that these civilizations absolutely had a connection with the skulls and that the wisdom and knowledge of the crystal skulls held by the Atlantean and the Lemurians will return to us in the not so distant future.

But really, the people who might really know the true history about the ancient crystal skulls are the native people in our world. But long ago they realized that the crystal skulls were too sacred and important for the future of humanity and thus to protect the skulls, in general (the modern Maya are the exception) they absolutely won't discuss what they know about our crystal skulls or even if they maybe guarding one of the crystal skulls they are protecting for our future.  We heard in the interviews done for our new book, that there will come time when this information will be publicly shared one day.


________________________________________________________________________

Going back to the Maya, do you know what their oral traditions
say about the crystal skulls?
________________________________________________________________________

The following information was shared by a Mayan Priest at the Crystal Healing Symposium organized by Dr. Chet Snow, in the spring of 1999 in Sedona, AZ.  This is the place where I received my first large crystal skull "Portal de Luz" as a gift. The Priest represented a council of Mayan Elders from Guatemala -- Here paraphrased is the message they spoke at the conference which was translated from Spanish:

The Priest said that some of the older (or ancient) crystal skulls in the world are the property of the Mayan Nation. They stated that the skulls were gifted to them by the Grandfathers of the Pleiades and that they are a rare and sacred Gift. The Pleiadians gave the Skulls to the Mayans to teach them about cosmic sciences and that after death, we are all reborn. They called the crystal skulls, the "Messengers from Time to Eternity".

The Mayans are troubled that people are exploiting the crystal skulls, especially the older ones and that they should not be used for personal gain or to further ones worldly ambitions. They also gave a warning that if these old crystal skulls are sold, that the consequences to the person who sells it might not be very pleasant.

Finally they stated: "… our Mayan Grandfathers, the Prophets, came from (the Pleiades) and then They returned after leaving us the Crystal Skulls as a sign of their existence and the virtues of the Mayan Sciences. The Crystal Skulls perceive the consciousness from beyond the Great Galaxy to spread the Cosmic Knowledge and not to sell it."

So to conclude, the Mayans recognized the crystal skulls are very sacred tools and are unhappy that some of their sacred crystal skulls were forcibly removed from their land by the Europeans when they came to the Americas to colonize in the 15th century. They would like to have the crystal skulls returned to them so they can protect them and work with them in their sacred ceremonies for the benefit of our world and all people. They understand that the crystal skulls are receptacles of great knowledge and information.


______________________________________________________________________________

You have worked with trained sensitives in connection with the crystal  skulls.  Can you describe what type of tests were performed and what were the conclusions that you reached based upon this particular study about the skulls?
_______________________________________________________________________________

The tests performed with train sensitives and the crystal skulls are very simple. The sensitive is allowed to hold the skull, and normally will go into a trance or altered state of consciousness. Sometimes during the trance or afterwards, they will verbally share out loud their feelings about the crystal skull or the object they are holding or they may have a specific vision that is linked to this skull or the crystal skulls in general. From such research we have been able to gain greater insights into what the crystal skulls are capable of doing and about which civilizations in the past may have created them and specifically how they were manufactured (if manufactured is the right word even). Based upon this form of research we have come up with various theories related to the skulls and their purpose as follows:

1) The skulls were created through the use of an advanced laser that was able to cut the quartz into a precise shape and form.

2) the skulls are a thought projection either from beings in higher dimensions or they were created by the thought projects of priests such as in Atlantis

3) possibly the skulls were gifts from the Gods (ETs)

The sensitives also discuss how the crystal skulls were utilized by past cultures similar to the question asked earlier. Some of the sensitives discussed that through their vision they saw that there are other crystal skulls located upon other planets and that some of these skulls were brought to the Earth by various Galactic Races or ETs.  Then, these other worldly beings utilize the crystal skulls as communication devices to speak to the people of Earth as well as act as devices that are recording all activities that occur in the skull's presence.  This transmission is than being observed by some unknown beings or a spiritual (higher dimensional) council so they are aware of exactly what is occurring on our planet in various moments as we continue through our evolutionary process.

Further, there has been a lively discussion about a strong link that the crystal skulls share with a race of people who live on the Inner Surface of our world (also known as the Hollow Earth).  That these races, which have a Galactic Origin, brought to this world in the far past an entire crystal skeleton that contains the entire knowledge of their race encoded within so that some of the crystal skulls that have surfaced today could have a crystal body.  

The major problem or challenge working with sensitives and the skulls is that we have trouble getting consistent information from different readers who work with the same crystal skull. One sensitive will tell us one story or scenario and the next a totally different one especially related to which culture or cultures actually had possession of this skull or how the skull was created or fashioned.

We believe this happens because sometimes the crystal skull works like a mirror and is reflecting back to the sensitive something about themselves and various past lives which has nothing to do with the crystal skull itself.  We also believe that there exists a number of parallel Earths, and each one has its own unique history slightly different from other parallel Earths.  Thus how one sensitive may see the events that are linked to a specific crystal skull maybe completely different than how another sensitive perceives the same skull who is linking into a totally different Earth (similar to the idea shared in the American TV program called "Sliders").  So as you can see, working with a crystal skull becomes a real adventure and is totally unpredictable.  However, the insights which are gained by working with such talented people is still a key process that is and will continue to help us to unlock the mystery around the crystal skulls and to better understand what they represent. 
 

______________________________________________________________________

Do the modern crystal skulls have the same properties as the
ancient ones?  How many ancient crystal skulls are known or
are there in total?

_______________________________________________________________________

merlin.jpg
We would like to answer your last question first. We do not know exactly (nor we suspect is there one person who truly does know) how many ancient crystal skulls truly exist. Of course there are various legends about a group of 13 very old or original ones which is discussed by a number of Native American tribes -- the Mayans also discuss a group of 52 skulls, perhaps four set of 13.

As of today, maybe there are approximately 15-20 crystal skulls that researchers believe could be called ancient but again there is no definitive physical procedure or process that has been developed that can substantiate this number as each crystal skull researcher has their own ideas and theories. But now, let us ask this question to our reader: "Does it really matter for us to know exactly which crystal skull is ancient and how it was created if that skull is able to help many people and produce a positive lasting change or effect in our world?"

For Blue Arrow Rainbow and myself, we both feel that eventually, when it is the right time and humanity is truly prepared and ready, it will to be revealed publicly that there exists literally hundreds or thousands of ancient skulls which have been hidden from the world until it is the absolutely right time for them to be revealed. We believe that many such skulls are now being guarded by different indigenous people all over the planet. But in truth and to conclude, we believe that no single individual knows the answer to the number of skulls and perhaps this number is not so important. Again, a better question to ask (which we answer below) is what role do the crystal skulls have to play to assist humanity and help us create a time of total peace in our future?

As far as what phenomena occurs around the the newer or contemporary crystal skulls and what capabilities they have -- they definitely do show signs of duplicating to a certain degree some of the same phenomena and capabilities of the older ones -- why is this?

From Joshua: Well Carole Wilson, a good friend who is also a powerful sensitive in her own right, has channeled for an intelligence contained within the famous Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull that resulted in a book (The Skull Speaks). She once asked me the following question -- "Does it matter when a crystal skull is formed --- is not all quartz crystal itself, ancient and very old having taken thousands of years to form in the ground?" Of course this point is quite true.

Then, I recall a conversion I had once with my former co-author F. R. 'Nick" Nocerino (who worked together with Sandra Bowen and myself as we published a book entitled "Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed" released in 1989) who was sharing with me his views about the origins of the crystal skulls. He told me that for him when he has met and sat with some of what he considered to be the very very old crystal skulls that he sensed who were the real people who had created these skulls.  That he intuited that the consciousness of the people involved in manifest these skulls were so highly evolved (far more then the current level of humanity), that perhaps we could not even conceive of what these people were really like, what were their abilities or even what they were capable of doing!!  So there is no doubt that when one has contact with an ancient skull, that has been awaken and brought to life by people or beings who are highly evolved that such a skull can quickly bring many life transformations for the people who they touch.

Now when an older or ancient crystal skull has contact with one that has been  recently crafted (a modern one), some interesting things can happen. We have personally observed how an older skull will pass special abilities and gifts to its younger brother or sister skull. How the energy or feel of a newer or contemporary will quickly change after such a contact as it becomes almost a brand new and completely different skull.  Why is this important however? Because, the younger skulls are far more free to travel the world so they can share these new frequencies and energies they acquire then the older skulls who are constricted in their travel.  This is due to the fact that there are a number of countries who wish to preserve the treasures from past civilizations and to keep the remains in tact at the sites they have been discovered so they have specific laws to not allow the tombs and ruins to be looted.  Thus one has to be careful bringing an ancient skull into some countries less the custom agents will try to claim them.

Also we believe that when a newer skull is activated and opened by its caretaker, then various unseen and kindly friends (spirits and beings from other dimensions) can also place special energies and information into the new skulls. We have watched how our own personal crystal skulls (most which are very new skulls) have been completed transformed over the years via all the activities and travels we have conducted working with them. Again from our own observations, the ability of a new skull to be more energized or activated lies in a direct relationship to the level of spiritual growth and consciousness of its caretaker. If such a caretaker has worked with crystal skulls in other lifetimes, we believe that they have encoded in their DNA special energy that can really help to activate a new crystal skull and conceivably bring it to a level that closely approximates a very old one.

A person should not automatically assume just because a crystal skull is newly made that it has no value or it can not be of great assistance to the people that this skull has contact with. We have many many reports that the new crystal skulls are doing a great job too and changing people's lives in a positive way.

To conclude related to this question, I am remained of the answer Grandfather Tue Bear (deceased) told us in 2004 during his interview at the Four Direction Conference in Texas. Allow me to paraphrase what he said. He stated that the more modern crystal skulls were very important because they represented the hands and feet of the older crystal skulls. The older crystal skulls are not able to travel so freely but the newer ones can and thus represents all crystal skulls and can allow the energy of the older skulls to be broadcast through them.

And lastly, I recall the first night after I slept with our personal crystal skull called "Portal de Luz" (Portal of Light). "He" told me that there exists an etheric energy network that links all the crystal skulls together -- like our modern internet which links computers all over the world together (well actually computers are made from quartz crystals). Therefore, once a new skull becomes activated or the crystal wakes up then the skull begins to proceed to fulfill its tasks or mission in the world - at this stage it can link into this etheric energy network and receive knowledge, information and energy from any other crystal skull that is also linked to this network that physically exists on the earth (or maybe even skulls that lie in other dimensions). Imagine the possibilities of this last statement. Therefore, the new crystal skulls have just an important role to play as their older brothers and sisters!!

Can you please describe for us a few of the key crystal skulls
that you have in your crystal circle.  What are their properties
and your connection with them ... and is this connection
perhaps more of a mental one?

Currently we have over 20 crystal skulls in our possession whom we take care of but for the purposes of brevity we will discuss the three skulls that came to us first.

Joshua: Of all the crystal skulls we have, my strongest link is with the one that is called "Portal de Luz", which is a 10 lb light smoky (gray) (although when I first received him he was much darker) quartz skull.  He is the crystal skull in our circle I have had the strongest experience with.

portal1.jpg
"
Portal de Luz's" life began as a large block of smoky quartz mined in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. He was brought to a carver in this area who fashioned "him" into a skull shape in 1998. Then "Portal de Luz" was sold to a couple in America who sell crystal skulls and I met this couple and the skull at the Crystal Healing Symposium in Sedona, AZ in 1999, receiving him as a gift. Carole Wilson, the Canadian sensitive I mentioned before, worked with "Portal de Luz" and told me that the quartz of the skull had been specifically programmed for me energetically before I was physically born and was just waiting for the time when we would physically meet. She told me that "Portal de Luz" would help me to activate some of my hidden inner gifts and help me to expand my work with the crystal skulls which has really happened over the past eight years.

The name of this skull is Portuguese or Spanish and Means "Portal or Door of Light" -- this name was chosen because we were inspired to use such a name and also because the crystal came from Brazil and the carver is Brazilian, so we want the name to be in Portuguese.

When I have communicated with "Portal de Luz", the communication comes to me more on a feeling level or I will hear in my own thinking voice an idea or information he wishes to share with me. (And yes I feel that this skull has a more masculine presence so I use The word "he" when I refer to "him"). Now I am not alone in the world to be receiving a telepathic communication with my friend, this happens to Blue Arrow Rainbow as well and with many other caretakers we know. Exactly who is speaking through the crystal skull is hard to say though!!

"Portal de Luz's" special gifts are many. To try to explain in words, as best as I can understand it well ... "he" definitely likes to work directly with people (human beings) and to meet and get to know a lot of us. "He" likes to help people to discover their purpose in life from an earthly point of view and at times "he" will offer healing or energize the person who is having contact with him. In a way, "he" is like his male caretaker (myself) in that "he" is a jack of all trades and will try to assist the person "he" works with in whatever is the best way for their highest good in that moment.  "Portal" definitely is about sharing of important information and collecting information. For example, "he" sat with me during the entire time I was writing our new crystal skull book and I think "he" was helping to create a very good energy in the room so I could be clear on what to write in the book. "Portal" has been tested and tends to create energy fields that helps to balance the energy of the person or the environment "he"
is in.

"Portal" also enjoys to be filmed and to be part of media shows -- for some reason "he" is quite photogenic. "He" loves to be involved with any research projects we are conducting to better understand the crystal skulls as "he" was our key test skull in many of our experiments (as reported in our new book) and "he" likes (almost demands) to be present during any important meetings that are dealing with his crystal family (such as our conference in Holland in October, 2006 or the new non-profit foundation we have set up).

"Portal" likes to offer himself to new people, who have never had a chance to be in the presence of a crystal skull and to experience the energy of one. "He" seems to know exactly what type of experience the person needs and will be very gentle with them in order to help this person to prepare for their first encounter with an ancient crystal skull.
 

Ok, here is Blue Arrow Rainbow's comments about two of our other crystal skulls that she works very intimately with called "Unity", a 1 lb rose quartz skull and the other is a 3 lb clear quartz skull called "Mozes of Peace", both of these crystal skulls made by the same carver as "Portal de Luz" in Brasil:

Blue Arrow Rainbow: "Unity" was the very first crystal skull I held on the same day that I first met Joshua in Holland (March 2001). Later, "she" helped me to balance my emotions in my Heart Chakra and to release any energies I had at this time, which were of no use to me anymore. I just loved this cute crystal being. By holding and taking care of "her" I remembered the Love I should give to myself (we all have this Love inside of us) and it reactivated my gift (which I had in many former lifetimes) to be able to open up any crystal.

Although I "Love" and "Honor" all the crystal skulls that have come to us, "Mozes of Peace" is the crystal skull I work the most with. "He" is my one of main teachers, my friend, my pal, and my crystalline family member. "He" and I ARE ONE.

moses.jpg
"Mozes of Peace" told me that my DNA was merged with his crystal structure long before I was even born. So my DNA actually, can be found within "him" as a crystal skull. "He" was patiently waiting for me, for thousands of earth-years. When I was a young girl I had many times the same vision, an androgynous being (who looked female to me) came to the Earth in a spaceship and brought a crystal into a crystal mine. Then after she placed all the information about her planet and herself into this crystal, she fused this particular crystal with other crystals in that cave. The cave seemed to be on a planet called Earth - Gaia - Tara. This being knew that this particular crystal would be made into an object that would be received by a being living in a time-period in the far future. What this being did not comprehend at that moment was that this future being/ person who would eventually receive this crystal, was her future self.

Now I, Blue Arrow Rainbow, do understand when "Mozes of Peace" came to me and said:

"Remember your vivid vision that you had when you were a young girl, a vision about the being who came to Earth with a crystal that she brought into a mine? That crystal Am I".

When "Mozes of Peace" came to me in 2001 "he" said to me: "I will help you to get millions over the border." I interpret this now as, "I will help you to open many people up to their spiritual potential, preparing them for the big transformation that will come to our world and to remember who they really are, Beings of LIght.".

I do hear a real male voice when "Mozes" (telepathically) talks with me. "He" goes wherever I go when I am out for more than a day. Normally, the daily travelers (the skulls) who go with me, are of smaller size because they just fit into the pockets of my jeans. These skulls will bring home the energies they have incorporated on their daily adventures, so that they can share them with the other members of our crystalline family that stayed home.

The gifts that "Mozes of Peace" will offer the people and "he" gives for myself are very elaborate.  "Mozes" (as I stated before) is a wonderful healing skull who is able to channel the "7 Rays of Light" and can show to a person very clearly what is the blockage that exists in their personal life.  "He" is very connected with the "Merlin Energy" and with the energy of the Ascended Master "St. Germain", who told me that "HE" also takes care of this crystal skull. "Mother Mary" blessed "Mozes" in 2004, in a chapel in England where "she" appeared very clearly in front of both of us and I saw how the 'Lady of all Nations' put her hands on top of "Mozes'" head and blessed him, which filled me with Joy and deep Gratitude.

Another gift "Mozes" possesses is "his" ability to connect a person with the energies of the original planet or world from which this person's soul originates from. This is very handy for certain people who feel kind of "homesick" at times. The spirit of "Mozes" is able to travel far distances and "he" will bring me quite often through different galaxies and into other dimensions and timelines. "He" is not as fond of large public events as his brother "Portal" but in order for "him" to transfer his beautiful energies, "he" sometimes needs to be with a large group of people and this is ok for "him". And last but not least, "Mozes of Peace" likes the water, rainstorms, snow storms, and especially luke warm water to bath in. "He" recently shared with me that we both have to do some work with the waters of Holland, but this is for the near future.

In  your opinion are the crystal skulls:

1. computers
2. tools for healing
3.
they help people to awaken to their true nature
4. other ...??
___________________________________________________________

Yes to all three

Why?

1. computers -- one gets the sensing they are holding tremendous information inside that can help humanity in so many ways

2. tools for healing -- every time we travel with our crystal skulls and offer our private sessions -- we see remarkable transformations happening to the people and at times, complete reversals of their health challenges - - so, you bet they are definitely a healing tool and more ...

3. Yes, absolutely they are a catalyst for helping people to see their true nature -- they are like a mini - energy vortexes and they will almost propel a person to release physical, mental, emotional, and past life blocks very quickly -- which helps one to see oneself. The crystal skulls are a mirror who show us what is truly inside of each of us!!

4. What else can they do -- well they are living beings in their own right and they definitely enjoy helping their human brothers and sisters to learn more about themselves and enjoy life.  And collectively, the consciousness of this truly crystal family wants to help the Mother Earth and all  of her living citizens to move forward and into the next higher dimension of being.

What kind of holographic images appear inside the crystal skulls and what do you think these images mean or represent?  Could they be projections from the minds of other people or perhaps from the minds of the carvers who created the skulls?
__________________________________________________________________________

During the research conducted by the Crystal Skull Society International during 1970-1980, they discovered that when an individual works with a crystal skull, that either that individual's personal energy or their mind is able to somehow activate the crystal skull and this will produce various holographic images that are seen and form inside of the crystal skull.

These images could be photographed (a few were shown in our first book, Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed) -- and all kind of scenes and objects would show up including

1) small and giant people
2) scenes from many places or many worlds
3) UFOs and ETS
4) animals and plants
5) other crystal skulls
6) dolphins and whales, underwater scenes
7) even images of the people who were recently working with or were standing
    or seated around that specific crystal skull!

The idea presented by the crystal skull researchers who have observed and recorded these holographic images is that this represents the skull's natural ability to work as a video camera of sorts -- that the crystal skull is able to record in some form (perhaps on another vibrational level) all the activities that happen around it. Then depending upon the person's energy who is currently working with that specific skull or the energy of the location where the skull is positioned, this energy acts like a key that unlocks the various holographic images stored within the skull.  And the type and style of the images and pictures that appear within the skull are directly related to the energies which the skull is exposed to at that specific time.

However, not everyone can see these holographic images, or some people see different things inside of the crystal skull at the same time. Therefore it is unknown if such images truly exist in the skull physically or are on another dimension and the skull is just projecting these pictures or images into the mind of the viewer. It's possible it could be a combination of both possibilities that there are physical images appearing and other images which do not.

Also we feel it is highly likely that there were indeed some very powerful beings who had strong mental abilities that not only were involved in creating the so-called ancient skulls but that they could have placed these images for us to view at some future time when humanity was ready? When one begins to work intimately with a crystal skull, anything is possible and one must be open to all kinds of conceivable possibilities!!

Blue Arrow Rainbow, can you describe the method you use to channel divine healing light energy. Do you work with the crystal skulls in any way to help with this?
__________________________________________________________________________

I am trained in the Universal Energy healing transfer (for more information please visit: http://www.mel-hq.com) and also with the VortexHealing® energy transfer (see: http://www.vortexhealing.com) as well as the ability to share with other people crystalline vibrations as was taught to me by the crystal skull, "Mozes of Peace".  These various techniques and training, allowed me to develop my ability to work as an open channel for Light Frequencies and Divine Energies. (Basically I step aside and allow these special energies to come through and be given to my clients.)

I feel this process started and I was prepared for being this channel during the "energy meetings" I shared with our beloved "Mother Mary" who appeared frequently at the end of by bed when I was a young girl. In 2001, while I was taking the basic level of the VortexHealing® course, I suddenly was visited by "Mother Mary" after many years of absence, when I was singing the song, the "Avé Maria" in a local chapel. "Mother Mary" asked me to feel deeply inside myself if I would like to be again, one of "Her" Priestesses. The next day when "Mother Mary" appeared to me, I signed a scroll (with an energetic stamp from the "Love of my Heart Crystal") to do this task to the best of my ability.

For as far as I understand, this experience opened me as a channel for Divine Healing Light Energies from several high energy Beings in other realms. I do use the energy of a Crystal Skull for this, but when I do this work and if a crystal skull is involved, I will work closely with "Mozes of Peace" as "he" is also a true healing skull and "his" very first initiation with an energy-vortex was one linked to the White Brotherhood. Sometimes the energy I channel will start as a combination of the VortexHealing® energy and the crystalline energy and often it will be replaced during that session by this Divine Healing-Light.

So what is the importance of the crystal skulls?  Why should other people become familiar with them or learn more about the skulls?  What is coming up in the future that has a link with the crystal skulls?
__________________________________________________________________________

Well, we believe the crystal skulls (the older ones) are the ancient computers that were used by various advance cultures in the earth's distant past. Thus these skulls are the gifts from the Gods or the ETs. The knowledge and information they contain within can be of vital importance and assistance for humanity and our future. At the present time, it appears this information is best communicated to a person via telepathy (thought) but eventually we believe (if we don't already have such devices) we will construct a type of machine that is able to replay the information (visually and audibly) that has been encoded or recorded within a crystal skull through some method we don't fully understand as of yet. We could compare this situation to the following idea: What if we went back in time, say 100 years ago and brought with us a CD or DVD. Well those folks wouldn't believe us if we told them on this disc is contained libraries of books, music and visual movies as there would be absolutely no way or technology at that time that could play or show that this information truly was contained on the disc.

On numerous occasions, people have witnessed how the Crystal Skulls have been able to help (or heal) people of all kinds of physical or emotional problems, after a person has a personal contact with one. Thus the crystal skulls can be seen as a powerful tool for awakening the full living consciousness sitting inside of a person.  On a more mundane level, the crystal skulls help many individuals who they have a contact with, to quickly release any type of blockage that is inside of them (again emotional or mental blocks or physical imbalances) thus allowing such individuals to discover more of their true inner self.

Some of the legends and information we have gathered through various indigenous sources suggests that there are certain groups of crystal skulls (perhaps scattered all over the world) who will eventually come back together and when these crystal skulls re-unite, they could generate a powerful energy that could act as a catalyst to forever change the vibrational frequency of our planet which could result instantaneously in a total awaken of all of humanity to their spiritual nature.

It seems on some level, the consciousnesses (or a form of living presence) that has bee held within the crystal skulls (perhaps for thousands or millions of years) is beginning to awaken in a big way which could explain why that within the last ten years or so there has been such a strong public interest to know more about the crystal skulls. Now, we are seeing for example, more television shows (documentaries or specials) that somehow are including the crystal skulls as a subject of discussion and even in a few new movies a crystal skull plays some role. Several new books have been written about the skulls and thousands of people now have had their own personal experience with a skull or even have a strong desire to have a crystal skull of their own to work with. Back in the 1970s and 1980s there just wasn't a lot of interest as there is today. It is quite remarkable!!

For Blue Arrow Rainbow and I, we know in the core of our being, the return of the Crystal Skulls is a powerful physical sign of the coming of the prophecised Golden Age. This is why the crystal skulls are coming out now more and more, and why people are beginning to hear more about the skulls and there is more news given publicly after they have seemingly been hidden for so many thousands of years.

Joshua: I remember when I first saw a picture of the ancient crystal skull "Ami" - as I was viewing the photograph, I heard some part of myself say that the contact with this crystal skull was my inner proof and confirmation that the prophesized Golden Age was really going to happen in our lifetime. Amazing!!

So in regards to the future, we fully anticipate and expect that far more ancient crystal skulls will be appearing. We expect that eventually some of these skulls will be brought out by the various native tribes who guard them. We expect there will be new research conducted upon the crystal skulls to help us to even better understand what they truly represent and eventually, through some means or process we believe the skull will not only communicate valuable and timely information humanity needs to save itself from itself and create a world of Peace but they will speak to us directly, as one living being to another. It is just that they are silicon based beings and we are carbon based beings.

Lastly, can you share about any new projects you are involved
with to help the public know more about the crystal skulls?  What are some of the exciting new activities you will be involved with
into this year of 2007 and beyond?

__________________________________________________________________________

In October of 2006, working with a number of Dutch organizations (including the Crystal Skull WorldFoundation) we are able to create a very special Festival for the Crystal Skulls in the Netherlands.  It was a 3 day event where we invited crystal skull and indigenous teachers from Europe, Asia and the U.S. to share with us various aspects of the crystal skulls.  The attendees who came told us they enjoyed it very much as it was a combination of lectures and workshops, personal sessions with the crystal skulls and entertainment.  We were able to build good relationships amongst the teachers.

In 2007, there was another Festival that occurred in Budapest (for a report see the website below)
that was very very successful and for 2008 we have setup two new festivals in Belgium and Budapest again.  We hope to continue these festivals all over the world and are looking to work with new friends in other countries.

Our new crystal skull book has been released in Polish (2004) and Dutch (2006) so far with a Hungarian version scheduled for September 2008.  The title of this book is called "Journeys of the Crystal Skull Explorers".  We are working on an English printed edition which we hope will be released sometimes in 2008. This book includes an overview of many key aspects surrounding the crystal skulls including a brief history, interviews with various crystal skull caretakers, carvers, indigenous sources and researchers. Additionally we share a number of examples of the personal experiences people are having with the crystal skulls and the research we conducted with the crystal skulls over a three year period.

More information can be read about our new book entitled "Journeys of the Crystal Skull Explorers" by visiting our website at:

http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/contents.htm

Also we have re-released our free small e-book, it shares the same title as our more comprehensive book coming out that anyone can get their own copy.  Just go to this webpage to secure your free e-book:

http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/free-ebook/csexplorers.html

And in combination with the free e-book we have started a new on-line newsletter called the Crystal Skull Explorer's List -- to become a member of this list  and to hear about the latest news with the crystal skulls as well as to obtain other important free information and special e-books, all a reader has to do is just send a blank email to:

crystalskullexplorers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com


For those people who never had a chance to read the first crystal skull book that Joshua was involved with (working with Sandra Bowen & F. R. 'Nick' Nocerino) entitled, Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed (published in 1989), even though the book is out of print, we still have a few copies left.  To learn more about this early crystal skull book, which was considered to be the definitive book at that time, visit:

http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/mcsrbook.html


Finally (boy do the crystal skulls keep us busy!!) we are also working on some media-based projects, such as a new documentary that will include interviews with various presenters from our Crystal Skull Festival and a feature film that shows a special story linked to the crystal skulls.  We are seeking people or organizations involved with the movie industry and also potential investors.  See below for our email address to contact us.

The interest around the crystal skulls continues to explode all over the world as we are being contacted each week by new people all over the world.  We believe the energy of the collective consciousness of the skulls is becoming more active and calling to the people (the souls) who know the skulls from other lifetimes.

Thanks for listening and learning more about our crystal friends known as the Crystal Skulls

in peace and light always,
