Living out here in Lubbock, I spend a lot of time training clients and dealing with the physical body, but my heart's always leaning toward the mystical. I dropped out of college to teach myself philosophy and mysticism, and one thing that's always stuck with me is how crystal lattices mirror the deeper patterns we see in sacred geometry.

When I hold a crystal, I don't just see a rock; I see a map of the universe. The way the atoms stack up in a lattice structure reminds me of how we build strength in the gym—layer by layer, angle by angle. It's all about structure and flow.

From a psychological angle, I think Carl Jung's idea of synchronicity plays a big role here. When we look at the precise angles in a crystal's structure, it feels less like random chance and more like a meaningful connection to the patterns we see in sacred geometry. In tarot symbolism, the Ace of Pentacles often represents new beginnings and material abundance, and I see a strong link between that energy and the way crystals channel it.

I've always had mixed feelings about these topics. On one hand, I really resonate with what Alan Watts wrote about the illusion of separation and how everything is interconnected. But I have to be honest—I'm not a fan of what Aleister Crowley preached. His approach felt too focused on power and control, which doesn't sit right with me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you see crystal energy and sacred geometry in your own practice.
