Wonderful,
Magickal, Mustika-Pearls Part 2
Some of the characteristics and virtues of mustika-pearls
are intensely curious and interesting. Below we present just a few of these :
The pearl from the dugong (called "Ikan-duyung" in Indonesian) for
instance, floats in salt water, but sinks in fresh water; this and the
crystallized pearl from its tear are good for love-spells. The otter-pearl
attracts lots of fishes during fishing trips; the fossilized egg of a crocodile
increases one's sexual prowess; the dew-pearl beautifies one's aura--the smaller
sizes of these pearls when moisten with one's finger, coheres to it as it is
dragged across a smooth surface; the golden carp and bamboo (symbols of wealth,
business advantage, and longevity in Chinese lore) -pearls attracts lots of luck
and increases prosperity; the centipede pearl helps one to choose the right
numbers during gambling; the owl-pearl helps to improve one's psychic senses;
the Galih Kelor seed-pearl wards-off negative energies in the form of black
magick and psychic attack; the boar-pearl makes one invulnerable to sharp
weapons. Almost all of the pearls have unusual powers and virtues. If one finds
an object embedded in a pearl it usually has extra virtues. Generally speaking,
the higher nature, power, abilities, virtues of animals/plants are to be found
in the pearls. Mustika-pearls, unlike ordinary gem stones and crystals,
possesses the combined spiritual blueprints, matrixes and forces of the
spirit-animal-mineral or the spirit-plant-mineral kingdoms.
Most mustika-pearl enthusiasts are amazed at the size and diversity of the
pearls. Take for instance the centipede pearl, these sometimes measures 1 cm or
more in diameter. The size itself could cause some skeptism as we normally think
of centipedes as small creatures; yet, in the jungles of Sumatra they may grow
to be as long as a meter in length! The quality and type of centipede pearls
differ depending on which region they come from. A centipede may also produce
four sorts of pearls--one on its head, this is called the "crown."
Another may be found in its stomach; smaller types are to be found among its
whiskers, and the most valuable and scarce of them all, the pearl to be found in
its mouth--this one is said to glow in the dark and gives one the power of
etheric vision.
Most mustika-pearls are of a crystalline nature, and are closely related to the
etheric world, perhaps much more than any of the common substances that we
normally come across in our daily lives. Each pearl carries the vibrational
essence of the Spirit Intelligence in charge of the evolution of the
consciousness and form of the animal/plant species allocated to it. Unlike
consuming animal meat and substances, close and regular contact with animal and
plant pearls have a healing effect upon our body and psyche and raises our
energy-frequency, aiding us to transit into a higher consciousness-level,
awakening our spiritual senses. Most owners of magickal pearls only look to
their physical effect--the true value of a mustika lies in what it can do for
one's spiritual evolution.
In alchemy, the practitioner would seek ways to transmute base metals into gold
and to acquire the philosopher's stone, and the stone of various substances.
Nature, the great alchemist, produces animal and plant stones in her laboratory
under the appropriate conditions known at present only to Her; we are blessed
that these stones are available for healing some of the psychological and
physical ills that we constantly suffer.
Mustikas are Nature's products and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes as
alluded to before. Mustikas of the same animal or plant-life may differ in form,
color, size, etc. The shape is sometimes given by the lapidary, though normally
the original outline is closely followed in the tumbling and polishing process.
The point is that the genuineness of a mustika cannot be judged by its
appearance alone--but by occult detection. Nevertheless, mustikas do possess
high vibrational qualities that most low-caliber psychics toxicated with egoic-debris
are unable to detect. Not sensing these they may pronounce a magickal pearl to
be a fake.
Mustikas in their original state have a rough texture and requires tumbling and
polishing to bring out their true beauty. Lapidaries are often surprised with
these mustikas. One fellow commented the strangeness of these pearls--normally,
tumbling and polishing ten ordinary stones gives him no aching problem. But just
polishing one of these mustikas makes his arm ache all over--and yet, they are
probably no harder than the average agate stone--some are even brittle. Not
knowing the origin of these pearls, he then suggested that they must be
enchanted. Indeed! A further shock was when he discovered that one of them
changed color when it was immersed in water. This is quite interesting as most
magickal pearls do have unusual physical characteristics.
Choosing a mustika for one's personal use may require careful thought. It should
be noted that the consciousness of God pervades all of Nature, and in each
creature we have the dynamic Divine Intelligence expressing in a certain way
with certain virtues. Thus, the spiritual attribute that we wish to develop may
be a factor in one's choice of an animal or a plant mustika-pearl. Studying
Nature--animal psychology, behavioral-patterns and instincts or the Doctrine of
Signatures of the plant kingdom and the symbolism of both would be a rewarding
venture for those intending to acquire mustika-pearls for personal use.
If one has no actual purpose in mind or preference, one should choose a pearl
that coincides closely with one's Totem-animal or the animal that harmonizes
well with one's Chinese zodiacal sign.
One's Totem-animal may be known by careful introspection; by sensing a special
affinity with an animal or feeling the animal that one resonates well with.
Totem animals may also be known through constant dreams of the animal; through
meditation/intuition; by one's childhood obsession or longing for the animal as
a pet; of the psychological identification with the animal itself or by the
animal that one is most attracted to or fears most; by constant pictorial or
concrete imagery forms of the animal arising in some manner, etc. If one often
dream of tigers, and as a child found joy in fantasizing about the animal, this
may indicate that the creature is one's Totem-animal. Sometimes the knowledge of
one's Power or Totem animal is acquired during a crisis--during a physical
encounter with the animal, for instance; or during unusual circumstances the
knowledge is brought to the awareness. Knowledge of one's Totem animal may be
acquired through a "VisionQuest." In Native American-Indian society
this VisionQuest is mandatory as part of the rite of passage presented to the
young. This quest entails fasting and seclusion in nakedness in a sweatlodge
where a vision of a Totem-animal is unexpectedly presented by the Great Spirit
to the consciousness of the child undergoing it. Tokens of the animal may be
discovered subsequent to the vision in the surrounding area. This quest may be
undergone by anyone willing to acquire the vision after due preparation.
The Totem animals are the projection of the elements of one's inner
consciousness representing the area or quality in one's spirituality that
requires balancing, harmonizing, or developing. Carrying a mustika-pearl of the
animal in question serves as an aid in attuning with the
Spirit-Guardian/Intelligences of the animal and helping us to administer to our
soul-need and harmonize the imbalances in the psyche. It also helps to transfer
the great wisdom or skill that each animal possess to our inner being.
Choosing a mustika-pearl based on one's Chinese sign is also a good method for
determining what pearl would be best for one. Naturally this method and the one
above does not apply to plant-pearls. These latter can be worn by anyone with
great benefit.
The Chinese Zodiacal signs are grouped into four :
Chinese Zodiacal Animals
Pig Rabbit Goat
Rat Monkey Dragon
Cow Chicken Snake
Tiger Dog Horse
If you happen to be a Goat, one suitable pearl would be the Pig (Wild Boar) or
Rabbit. If you are a Rat, the pearl that would best complement you is the
Monkey-pearl or the Dragon- (dragon-snake) pearl. Substitutes may be used if a
pearl from the exact creature is unavailable. For instance, the pig-pearl may be
substituted by the wild-boar pearl; the ape or gorilla for the monkey; the
dragon-snake for the dragon; the wild-dog or wolf for the dog.
One might also choose a mustika-pearl on the basis of its color as related to a
chakra. A pearl with the associated color of a chakra vibrationally enhances the
chakra and its psychological expression while aiding in removing any
pathological elements related to it.
Another possible alternative of choosing a magickal pearl is the element-color
method. Whatever element one lacks in his astrological nature may be
complemented with a mustika of the appropriate color. If a person has an
abundance of water in his psychological make-up, he may choose a color other
than blue, as blue represents water. Following are the colors and the elements
as given by one system of correspondence :
Red--Fire, Blue--Water, Green--Earth, Yellow--Air.
Mustika pearls of plants and animals may be chosen for their value in occult
workings and rites. Every mustika-pearl has its mystical virtues that may be
tapped and appropriated for the purposes of the Magickal Operator. The occult
practitioner would study the attributes of the animal or plant in order to know
which is especially required for certain magickal operations.
If one has absolutely no idea what mustika-pearl would be best for one's general
well-being, health, spiritual development, and prosperity, one could submit the
question to a shaman who is attuned to the Intelligences of Nature. The shaman
would choose that which is appropriate for one's present evolutionary
development, keeping in mind the subject's well-being in both spiritual and
mundane matters. It is also possible to acquire the necessary information from
one's Higher Self, one's Inner Guide.
Once having obtained a mustika, one might wonder what can be done with it or how
to harness the power that it possesses. Whatever virtues a mustika possesses
would be transferred to us by simply carrying or wearing it for some time. The
effects of the mustika may be perceived after several weeks or so depending on
the virtue sought. Greater powers such as invulnerability against sharp weapons
as that given by the wild boar pearl may take a greater period of constant
proximity with the pearl before it may show some effects. The time factor may be
quickened by following certain disciplines such as constant attunement-sessions
with the elemental spirit/pearl and drinking/showering with the water or elixir
of the pearl. These elixirs or enchanted water/oil carry no physical properties
of the pearls, but they do carry the vibrational quality and essences of the
spiritual aspect of the animals or plants from which they have been derived.
Steeping pearls in a glass of water for half an hour empowers the water with its
energies. Steeping it for several hours under sun or moonlight would imbue the
water with a greater amount of the pearl's vibratory energies and essences;
abundant life-force of a plant/animal mustika-pearl are channeled into the
water. The spiritual blue-print in the pearl containing information of the
animal/plant are also infused into the water. This is a supplemental nutrient
for the various psychic components within man. Whatever force is embued in the
water by the steeping process is transferred to one's physical and subtle bodies
impelling them to resonate at higher frequencies where diseases of mind, body,
and soul are non-existent and cannot exist. The enchanted pearl-water has a deep
impact upon the nervous and blood-system.
Generally, plant pearls affect more of the physical and etheric bodies while
animal pearls the astral and spiritual side of man.
Drinking mustika-pearl water assists in one's reintegration with the Cosmic
Intelligence; this cannot help but improve one's sense of oneness and harmony
with all of Nature. This has a tremendous psychological import in one's approach
to life, transmuting negativity into positivity. Mixing the pearl-waters of
various mustikas is permissible. Once having studied the powers, virtues and
healing properties of each pearl, a blend may be made of the waters to achieve a
specific result. Constant attunements with the pearls helps to intuitively know
their powers.
Mustika-pearl water should be made in a tranquil environment.When drunk, the
water acts as a tonic effect to the body, healing physical ailments,
psychological problems, balancing the chakral energies, and promoting spiritual
awareness and growth. Pearl-elixirs using an alcohol-base may also be made.
Nowadays, in the New-Age market, gem, crystal, and flower elixirs may be easily
acquired. There is no company as yet, however, producing mustika elixirs. When
properly made, these mustika-elixirs would possess more power and have a greater
effect than the ordinary ones produced from gem stones and crystals.
That mustika-pearl water possesses healing virtues, many people including
ourselves have personally determined to be true. It would be superfluous and
unnecessary to relate case histories; one would have to experience this for
oneself.
Aside from its consumption, mustika-pearl elixirs and water--and even oil--may
also be anointed or massaged into the body. The pearl-fluid may be applied to
the various points or chakral vortices along the main and secondary channels of
the subtle body where the energy-flow is blocked . Its application helps to
break up the psychic toxins embedded in the channels.
Pearl water, elixir or oil may also be placed in a room and left alone for its
evaporation. The vibratory essence of the pearl would transmute negative
energies in the surrounding area and harmonize the psychological condition of
the people moving and living within its influential reach.
Some practitioners believe that the consumption of pearl-water is insufficient
to tap the power of a pearl, that a password is required to command the
indwelling spirit. There is some truth in this but the password is just a
gimmick created by occult practitioners hoping to excite the interest of
pearl-owners and increase their clientele. What is actually required is a simple
psychic-attunement with the elemental spirit--by calling its name (if known),
absorbing its energies by holding the pearl, and explaining to it the purpose of
steeping the pearl in a glass of water. This communication with the
pearl-intelligence may be formulated into an affirmation or decree--they should
be specific so that the elemental-intelligence knows the healing or work that is
to be conducted.
Mustika-pearls should be handled with great care as some of them are fragile.
They should also be anointed often with aromatic oil such as sandalwood or
"zafarron." When not in used they should be stored in a proper case
with some flowers in it. Spirit elementals delight in the aroma of flower
essences--the anointment and the placing of flowers are gestures of appreciation
for their aid.
