Let us now examine how the Sun affects us here on Earth. As it rotates, so energy is given off in the form of a solar wind consisting of positive and negative particles that take approximately 48 hours to reach the Earth. Solar wind particles are a by-product of magnetic activity, which arises due to the differential rotation of the polar and equatorial fields.
The Earth is also rotating once round the Sun every 365.242 days. So it has been calculated that every seven days, due to this differential rotation, the Sun's energy hits us with alternating polarity, i.e., positive to negative every week. It is interesting to note that because of this, underground water energies seemingly change polarity every seven days too. This is particularly noticeable along Stone Age 'alignments'.
The Sun's rays contain the necessary energy from within the solar wind to generate life and rebirth throughout the planet. S.A.M. [Stone Age Man] often aligned his ancient structures to the seasons of the Sun - solstices and equinoxes - to 'capture' this energy in his structures and re-energise the earth itself. He engraved the rays of the Sun on his lintle stones with lovely zigzag lozenge wavelength pictures telling us of this (black and white plate 1).
When these rays penetrated deep into the chamber of the cairn they were engraved as the triple spiral of Newgrange. This beautiful engraving (diagram 14) is of the Trinity of the creative breath itself. In India this is drawn as the sign and meditative sound of 'OM', being the three aspects of the Trinity: Brahma the creator, Vishnu the holder of reality, and Shiva the destroyer and rebirther.

In Ireland we have a silent secret language called 'Ogam', pronounced 'OM', depicting the same principle (diagram 15). In scientific terms the triple spiral denotes the interweaving DNA up and down the spine - the Kundalini in Eastern mythology. It also denotes the forces of electricity (the Sun), magnetism (the Earth) and light, all interacting as the creative forces of electro-magnetism. In later Christian terms the triple spiral became the Trinity of 'Father, Son and Holy Ghost', whereas it should have been 'Father, Mother and Holy Ghost'; the latter referring to divine 'light'. It also symbolises the conjunction of Sun, Moon and Venus through the sky-light of the cairn.
Quartz is a white stone looking like hunks of gleaming white cheese that occurs in blocks and seams in granite. Sometimes it also contains wisps of gold within its cracks. Quartz has been found throughout the world and has been incorporated in many ancient structures. S.A.M. used blocks of it in the construction of Newgrange, the great Irish Cairn in Co. Meath, and often in his circles and burials. It grows from this white translucent rock into 'rock crystal'...--for the crystal is clear, colourless and of perfect atomic structure. The chemical composition of quartz is Si02, It has a particular growth pattern with a structure, either right-handed or left-handed, in spiral form. This is said to be a helical growth pattern, from the Greek 'Helios', the Sun.
We have seen how the Sun and the Moon produce positive and negative spirals from an underground spring. In a like way, rock crystal, energised from the Sun and Moon, has grown in patterns over endless centuries giving off minute vibrations of energy. This energy manifests as pyro-electricity when subjected to variations of temperature and piezo-electricity when subjected to changing pressures. We can say therefore that the changing energies of day to night and season to season allow rock crystal to become alive. S.A.M. knew this and used this intuitive knowledge to energise his early structures to help the soul consciousness...
Quartz also has a unique property in the whole of the gemstone world, in that when polarised light (sunlight directed as a beam), is passed through it, it refracts or bends that light through 45 degrees i.e., it turns it. In doing so, it displays the hidden vibrations of white light or sunlight through its component parts; the seven rays of the body of light we see visually in the rainbow and psychically in the chakras of the human body.
Also, this bending produces a balance between electricity and magnetism; the energy that with consciousness makes up the triple procreative spiral forces of Planet Earth. It is not surprising that the light image of the 'figure' produced by directing polarised light through quartz onto a 'plate' is the same in cross-section as the DNA - the cerebro-spinal fluid that courses up and down the spine to give us our own personal illumination.
