These shells were picked up on a beach of South Africa while a delegation from the School of Metaphysics was presenting at the 1999 Parliament of the World’s Religions. The delegation consisted of Dr. Sheila Benjamin, Paul Madar, Damian Nordmann, C.J. Perry, and Kathy Gay.

Varabasum, India

Stone 12: Sandstone

In the Fall of 1999 I was part of a People to People delegation to India and a representative of the School of Metaphysics. During that trip we travelled to various historical and spiritually significant sites in northern India. We also net with other spiritual leaders and gave Universal Peace Covenants to as many people as we were able. One of the Places we visited was Deer Park near Varanasi, The oldest living city in the world. Deer Park is the Place where Guatama the Buddha taught his disciples. I remembered Deer Park being mentioned in the writings about Buddha but I had never imagined being in the very place where Guatama had taught. This thought was exciting to me since I have learned thought and actions leave their impressions on the places where they occur. I stilled my mind in order to receive impressions of the consciousness at that time. It was approaching sundown and we asked our tour guide if we could have a few moments of quiet before we left. It was at this time that I looked fro a rock to bring back with me. There is no telling how old this rock is, but maybe it lay on the ground under Guatama’s feet as he taught. Maybe he even picked it up to draw something on the ground or used it to illustrate a point for his disciples. --Dr. Pam Blosser Windyville, Missouri

Aukland, New Zealand

Stone 13: Igneous Rock-Scoria

This rock was sent by a correspondent student at the School of Metaphysics to be placed on the Healing Wall.--Gerald Shrubshall, Aukland, New Zealand

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Stone14: Quartz

My four and one half year old grandson, Devon and I went to find a special rock for the Healing Wall when I visited him in Minnesota. We both wanted to find a rock that would be from him and his newborn sister, Delaney Anne, who is five weeks old. We went on a walk through the woods near his house to a neighborhood park. As we walked down the path to the park he held my hand and we talked. We spotted this shiny rock, all white, and thought this would be a marvelous rock for the Healing Wall. --From Paul Blosser, Windyville, MO for his grandchildren Devon and Delaney.

South Africa

Stone 15: Quartz

“This quartz crystal was given to me by a young lady I met in South Africa during the Parliament of the World’s Religions in 1999. Her name is Julisa Peters and I met her on the way to a presentation on Labyrinths. We were both walking to the same presentation so we struck up a conversation. She was born and raised in South Africa and she told me she had a strong desire to see all of her country then to travel all over the world. We shared stories about what brought each of us to the Parliament of the World’s Religions and who we were and what we did. I gave her a copy of the book Kundalini Rising and she was so grateful she gave ne a small quartz Crystal.

I want to give this crystal to the Healing Wall with the thought form that we are indeed all brothers and sisters no matter what country we are in. I dedicate it to all of my family whether they be my biological relatives, my spiritual brethren or those beautiful souls who I may never meet in the physical world.” --Damian Nordmann, Oklahoma City, OK.

Del City, Oklahoma

Stone 16: Sandstone

“This small rose rock was found in my yard after several days of meditation on the Peace Dome and Peace on Earth. I went out in my yard and looked down and there it was. It’s the first rose rock I have found in over 25 years on this property.” --Linda Yeingst, Del City, OK

Columbus, Indiana

Stone 17: Chalcedony

“Enclosed are some stones collected for your wall project. The white quartz is from my back yard creek-Clifty Creek. Thank you for all of the wisdom you share to bring understanding to those who search for meaning in life.” --Angela Morio, Columbus, ID

Ellington, Missouri

Stone 18: Granite

“My stone comes from a creek in Missouri, close to where my father was born and raised in the heart of the Ozarks. The area where he grew up is Ellington, MO. As children, My siblings and I would go on vacation with our parents once a year for a week during the summer months to visit our relatives from my father’s side. Well, I have always loved the outdoors in general, but I have a special place in my heart for the Ozarks, I love that area! I never grow tired of messing about in the ‘criks” as my Dad used to call them and exploring in the woods. When my father died, one of the stipulations he had, besides that he was to be buried in the little cemetery where his parents, and older generation relatives are interred, was that his headstone was to be made of Missouri red granite. Nothing else would do. This stone that I collected is from a visit I made while he was still alive ‘muking about’ in the creek and it happens to be a piece of Missouri red granite. I have kept hold of it ever since, but I now believe it is time for it to move on to a higher purpose, that of the Healing Wall. I share it with you and the rest of the world. Peace.” --Christy Ann EIA’mma

Ecotermales Fortuna, Costa Rica

Stone 19: Volcanic Pyroclastic Blast

This is a Lava stone from the Arenal Volcano in Northwestern Costa Rica. Arenal had a massive eruption in 1968 and has had continuous lava effusion since then. This stone was found at nearby Ecotermales Fortuna Springs where the water is warmed naturally from the heat of the volcano.--Claire Fuller, Atlanta, GA.

Colorado Springs, Colorado

Stone 20: Both stones are Sandstone

This stone was obtained on a trip to Colorado to visit family in 2003, during the time Christine was pregnant. We picked this stone up in the Garden of the Gods as we walked and talked, planning our future with the baby. We shared our ideals of what to teach and how to teach our child. --
