Well, it seems a speculation of "mine" that "I" have been going on and on about has been validated. (First let me add that "I" isn't "me", but what word do I use, my higher self?) The validation is to be found on this link:

In part it says:
"Unlike most religious relics, typically pieces of saints' bones, the remains of great Buddhist teachers include tiny pearl-like objects known as ringsel. These crystalline beads are said to be formed when a Buddhist master is cremated. It is said that the beads settle into the shape of a heart, conch, flower or other object. Buddhists believe that the presence of ringsel proves the teacher achieved spiritual purity and that those who view the ringsel can be spiritually transformed."
Part of my theory (and it is not "mine" but was given to me through meditation) was that adrenalin as well as other chemical discharges that occur when one is in a high-charged, emotional state leave residues or tiny crystals. These crystals attach themselves to the soul which itself is a crystal. These "seeds" or "crystalline structures" are what is referred to as "karma". These karmic seeds are what pull situations and people to us over and over again. The more we react to the situation, the more karma we create until we learn the secret of keeping emotions under control and making our karma dormant.
This structure that is formed is interesting. For "I" also said by way of explaining this theory, that the heart is the way to true intelligence. This true center must be found and entered into to. In this way, the soul (which is a crystal) may pull to her what arrangement completes her. This next quote is from "The Theoretical Mathematics of the Pythagoreans":
"The mathematical productive principles therefore, which give completion to the soul, are essential, and self-motive; and the reasoning power exerting and evolving these, gives subsistence to all the variety of the mathematical sciences. Nor will she ever cease perpetually generating and discovering one science after another, in consequence of expanding the impartible forms which she contains. For she antecedently received all things causally; and she will call forth into energy all-various theorems, according to her own infinite power, from the principles which she perviously received."
"I" then surmised that if the soul was a crystal it would grow like all crystals and in the following manner:
"GROWTH PATTERNS
All crystal growth patterns are ordered. No one knows how the crystals can come together and make the formation. Crystals grow from the outside, unlike that of a human being. Particles are attracted to the seed of the formation and then build on up in an orderly pattern. "The only way for a crystal to grow is for the right kind of atoms or molecules to reach its surfaces and fit themselves into the same pattern of order the tiny "seed" crystal has." Time and freedom are needed for the molecules to make perfect crystals. Crystals can form from a solid, liquid, or gas."
In terms of emotions forming karmic seeds we have this:
"FORMATIONS
All crystals have a definite shape. For crystals to form, they need time and freedom. Sometimes an atom that doesn't match that of all the other atoms while forming a crystal gets mixed in with them. This is called a stowaway atom. It could be of a different color, or size. Some gems are different colors because their molecules are different colors. Crystal formations are formed by solutions. A crystal increases size by adding atoms to its surfaces. They can also be formed by hot molten lava. The lava cools, and crystals start to form. That is why when the lava cools we get rocks. You may not think about it, but rocks are crystals too."
Note how you have to "heat up" and then cool down. Isn't that what we do when we lose our tempers? In Kundalini, we purposefully heat up and cool down, but WITH NO EMOTION. Does this make these seeds dormant? That is what is taught.
So I suppose the question is whether this "ringsel" or heart-shaped crystal is the shape that our soul pulls forth to complete itself so that we may obtain release?
It is a beautiful notion and well worth contemplation.
Sat Nam!
