I wouldn't ordinarily give Amazon a plug, but when checking out the Drum Circle, the Graceada Park Performance Art Project, I. L. Gerlovin, which I admit to being part of, chief instigator as I came up with the name for it, the inmates, residents of the Graceada Park Burrough, as Phil called it, were familiar with the terms, sometimes practitioners of wizardry, chakra believers, energy runners, a bit new age, possibly dead heads, liked Crystal, or Crystal, or crystals in general for healing, because they're pretty, as jewelry, or related to electronic high tech gadgetry, even computers. 

The Skeptic's Dictionary by Tood Carroll is a fine counter point to review ideas related to Tachyons, or Tachions, as reemed apart in the online definition by Carrol, new age field of unsubstantiated scientific empiricism.  True to some degree, though the construct is more nebulous in the scientific posture, of a particle or entity component of information, one that has origin, can grow, etc, makes up the defining parameters, of strings, or subatomic particles as in quantum issues that have the same issues with provable science, not necessarily with mathematical construct.  Still, it is this sort of critique people should take a look at, likely before taking on anything as the absolute truth.

And this project no different.  Some is related as fact, as metaphor, fiction, accurate or not of a delusion you may not see the same as I do, or may have to do with personal beliefs in magic, magick for the arcane spellers, faeries, spirtual paradigmn, science vs science fiction, naturalism, fraud, fancy or myth. and that's a lot of what this, of my favorite links challenges, including that of my friends in chiropractic medicine, crystal healing powers, running energy, alternative medicine, alternative science, intelligent design, creationism, evolution, all of the above, or nihilistic denial of all of it.  Nonetheless, suggested reading.
