Our Max Experience

On October 11, 1996 Starwomyn and I had the fabulous experience 
of being attuned to Max, The Texas Crystal Skull. 

We really didn't know what to expect, never having 
encountered a crystal skull before.

We had the fellowship of dear spirits whom we 
had gotten to know on a mailing list and had just met for the first time.
 I've long found it quite fascinating how often we meet
strangers whom we have always known (or that's how it feels anyway) 
at the same time as peak experiences. Every time it revalidates my
knowing that everything happens for a reason.

We were ushered into a small room with about 15 other folks 
and given a short talk about Max by his keeper, Joanne Parks, 
who then left us to ourselves and Max. 

It's difficult even now to put any sort of words to the Max experience. 
It lies in that realm which Don Juan Matus termed the nagual. 
Those things that can't be talked about directly 
because the concept doesn't exist and can't even be 
translated into the terms of the linear world. 
One can't talk about what it is like as it's like nothing else. 
The most you can do is talk about how it effected you.

I can describe Max. 
He's a carved crystal about a foot in diameter. 
The picture at the top of this page is he. 
He feels very odd to the touch.
Sometimes his surface feels warm and 
other times cold without any corresponding
environmental change. As you touch him there
is a momentary sensation that your hand will go 
right through as though he were just a holographic image. 
It often feels as though your hand has gone 
through the surface. 

Energetically, Max is powerfully omnipresent. 
I found myself leaving the linear world behind 
blocks and hours before our actual encounter.
I was a little surprised to find the energy coming 
from Max in waves was coming in both arms
rather than in one side and back out the other as is usual for me. 

I had no immediate revelations or anything like that. 
I just sat and communed with this wonderful 
humorous and warm but very ancient presence. The 
sensation I had was like I was being expanded 
past my wildest dreams. In the time since I've 
discovered that to very true; truer than I knew
at the time. 

Since that attunement we have both had many more 
experiences with Max though none of them have been 
physical encounters. There is a certain place or wavelength 
where Max is now. We carry him with us; or he carries us with him. 
I'm really not sure which. 

I've been told by Max and my own guides and spirits 
the areas to expand my pathwork  and lightwork, I have 
to gasp in awe and ask,

	"Are you sure? I'm supposed to do this?"

I've been shown a bigger picture of how everything
fits together than I have ever been able to comprehend 
or puzzle together before. It's quite breathtaking.
