The Life-Force in Matter What orderly power, in the form of energy, lies behind this geometric perfection? If we look into a rock crystal we can see that it is composed of a measurable electric charge. In physics
we call this current piezoelectric. We also know that electricity equals energy, which represents a life force. This also makes sense because crystals need energy for their growth, and energy means life. That's why we can speak of
the vitality of crystals. In this sense, every crystal is a carrier of information. For example, every microchip, the basic element of a computer, is a rock crystal. However, it can only store and transmit information according to
its geometric structure. By destroying the structure of a crystal, it remains, from a chemical standpoint, silicate. However, its information content is lost. So, it's not the matter, in this case the silicate that is responsible
for the energy content, but the geometric structure. |
