00:04 In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a nation through a series of radio broadcast known as the Fireside Chats. His aim was to reassure the common man that our society would recover from its troubled times but we're far from 1930 and I deal with a different kind of fire For a new era of worldly frustration We offer a fresh conversation! Well pack your bowls and smoke your coals people because today we're going to talk to a man that I would consider a supreme authority on a type of object. I occasionally hear referenced in 2012 prophecies as well as stories about Atlantis, i've seen him in Stargate SG-1 Indiana Jones movies and Dan Aykroyd's Liquor Cabinet if you're still guessing or you didn't think to read the title of the show i'm talking about
00:56 crystal skulls people, and Joshua Shapiro. He's been on The Case for over 25 years. Josh thanks for being on the show how you doing? I'm doing great Greg how about yourself today? Never better! You know lately I've been kind of drifting away from your typical Alex Jones Illuminati type stuff and getting into the more metaphysical cosmic hidden knowledge side of things and you don't get too far without hearing about energy and crystals And the real papa bear here is the crystal skulls. Tell me what we're talking about when we say crystal skulls and how they become such a big part of your life? Okay, well as the term implies, we're speaking about this skull close to human bone skull that's made out of quartz crystal was originally
01:44 Crystal skulls were defined as now crystal skulls are any type of skull that's kind of done in a similar fashion made from different types of gemstones. But I need to share with your listeners, although there are people who have great affinity for all the different types of crystal skulls that are carved now, for myself I feel the strongest affinity for quartz crystals So that's kind of what I specialize in. Now, I specialize in that probably because as you were talking about related to the concept of energy You know? I believe each person is a unique note and God's infinite symphony Is a unique vibration
02:33 And so each one of us is going to have our own set of unique things that we feel a vibrational affinity for. So this is the only way that I can try to explain for myself why quartz crystals and the quartz skulls, now I also think it has to do with if you go into the paranormal, the idea of reincarnation that there have been other lifetimes that I've had where I have worked directly with the crystal skulls. So it's kind of like a continuation of where I left off, wherever that was you know could have been in Atlantis or Egypt or the Mayans There are a lot of different cultures that talk about these crystal skulls so as far as where i've been with it
03:27 When I first got involved in the spiritual metaphysical, it wasn't my intention that i was going to be working with crystal skulls. Right? I kind of came upon it when I met one back in 1983 an amethyst crystal skull which today people call Ami and that comes from a name given to this particular crystal skull from one of its former guardians he was the only one that really understood it and saw it as a special artifact that was here to assist humanity, and to assist people that the skull is meeting for healing. That's kind of like when I had contact with this skull first. I was just looking at a picture of it, and I had like an inner earthquake going on inside my body
04:20 And then when I finally met the skull, I felt an energetic connection to it. And that energetic connection has been with me since that time." So, sometimes what happens is you're going to have an experience with something that you have no intention of. You don't plan it but it comes up and then it's kind of like you have to make a decision. Am I going to do something with this? Am I gonna pursue it? Is it crazy and I should forget about it? Well obviously when I met this particular skull it struck a note inside me and I felt there was something important about it
04:59 and I had no clue where it would take me or what i would be doing all these years but, I just had this sensing inside and that's never died. That the crystal skull are one of the ancient tools let say from prior civilizations that are returning now to help humanity create a planet of peace and harmony. That has been my feeling since 1983 when I was looking at picture up this crystal skull called Ami Now, does that have anything to do with… I've heard of vaguely the legend of the 13 crystal skulls. Are you familiar with that legend and why 13? And where did that start? Yes, I am familiar with the legend but first what we should talk about is number 13 or one surrounded by 12. There are many people who believe
