Stone, The
There are well known legends and sagas about the wandering stone—lapis exilis—which is glorified throughout centuries from the Pacific coast—to the mediaeval Meistersingers, to the famous Wolfram von Escenbach … It is true that one may find in legends indications about signs on the stone, which appear and disappear. It is said that the stone warns his temporary owner of various significant events. On special occasions the stone emits cracking sounds, it may become very heavy, or on the other hand may lose weight considerably. At times the stone radiates light. The stone is usually brought to the new owner quite unexpectedly by some strangers. Not without cause are so many sagas and songs dedicated to it. The stone is also mentioned in mediaeval scientific and historical chronicles. On the Himalayas, in Tibet, and Mongolia one constantly comes across references to this miracle. In the same connection the name of the mysterious King—Prester John—is also often cited, and even the Holy Grail is identified with this stone. (Him, p 36)
The crystal of Materia Lucida can be shown only rarely in such magnitude as has been visible to you. For this, there is needed a special converging of magnetic currents. The crystal appears, as it were, to be attracted by the Stone. (AY, 214)
Unutterable are the Forces which serve you. They who carry the Stone radiate the stars of benevolence. (LMG II, p 22-23)
My command to disciples, and lawful is My request, is to walk sternly but without irritation. Irritation makes one’s vessel crystalline and fragile. A silver chalice better befits the Stone. (LMG II, p 25)
Reading the suggested books, you will find sparks. Place into one receptible the fragments of reverence to Maitreya. Thus, over the face of the Earth I Myself have laid the chips of the One Stone. A new miracle will bring the nations together. Our Ray will expel doubt. (LMG II, p 123)
Who can justly assert that he has been the giving one? We will open Our account books and show how much every one received. For it is not at all easy to sacrifice when a sacrifice is a possibility, and the possibility is a benefit, and the benefit is a sound cooperation, and the cooperation is the Alatir-Stone, which either resurrects or consumes. (LHR I, p 127)
