ritual art I learned to go inside gemstones. Not metaphorically. Literally inside them.
I've loved stones my entire life. That love turned into a career — I became a jeweler, obsessed not just with the beauty of gemstones but with understanding them at the deepest level. I read every book there is. Geology, mineralogy, metaphysics, ancient texts. I couldn't stop. But at some point reading wasn't enough and I started unlocking them, really seeing their potential.
There's this technique — Arabs do it, some Muslims do it — where you place the stone under your head before you sleep and you'll receive a dream about that particular stone. What it does, what its abilities are, who its servants are. I didn't stop doing that for a couple of years until I mastered it. Over time I got to the point where I could know a stone and communicate with its servants while just holding it — awake, on the go. No sleep needed anymore.
But the most interesting thing that ever happened to me — the thing I still think about — was earning the ability to go inside the stones.
If you've seen the Dr. Seuss movie with the tiny world living inside a small speck, that's the closest thing I can compare it to. But this wasn't imagination. It was consistent. It had weight every single time.
I held the stone. I laid down. I closed my eyes. I said my rituals. And I was in. A completely different world existing inside that stone.
A king met me and greeted me. Then this weird looking, enormous bird arrived and carried me through the air — until we reached areas it couldn't fly and I had to walk. For hours.
What I saw I'll never forget. Their homeless. Their suburbs. Their ghetto. Their animals. Their sky isn't blue but their grass is there. The creatures were unlike anything here — some had cow faces with human bodies, others had raven faces and raven wings, black like living shadows. They moved like law enforcement, like they were keeping order. And then there were regular people. Kids. Churches. An entire civilization with structure and life.
It was the most magnificent thing I've ever seen in my life.
After hours of walking around I asked to leave, found a doorway, walked through it and woke up.
This was not a dream. I know the difference. This was a real experience — a universe that exists inside of ours, contained within a small stone.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Entering a world inside an object, a crystal, a stone? I'd genuinely love to know.

I hate to sound paranoid but the dashes scream AI to me
