The Lands of Crystallization (Tierras del Cristalizar) are the dream dimension of the shared cosmos, parallel to Antiterra and to Earth and connected with both by furrows, portals and the twelve zodiacal platforms. There the ideas, feelings and desires of humanity crystallize, solidifying as crystals do when water evaporates; they are “the dwelling of devoured consciousnesses.”

Nature
Not dream in the ordinary sense: what is thought without consequence in this world takes form there; what is devoured unknowingly here has a face there. They are a “distorted mirror” of the feelings, ideas and desires of the community and of humanity: each ripple of the mirror matches a real human projection, so travelers who cross over both recognize and do not recognize themselves.
Definitions:
- In the crystal plane, a person’s or collective’s ideas, feelings, desires and attempts crystallize into an infinite universe.
- They are a different perceptual lens on the other reality, where truly opposite desires are projected: “a mirror in a shadow,” which gives travelers a shadow and makes them strangers in this land.
- Each devoured person ends up on the platform of the archetypes that ruled their life, with no consciousness or memories left, the former personality split into pieces.
- Humanity feeds them unknowingly.
Layers and time
Their internal geography is onion-like: each terrestrial age adds a concentric layer around the previous one without destroying it. Older layers remain reachable through portal points such as pyramids or old wood, so a traveler can enter the “crystallized age of the Egyptians” without having died.
Time does not flow there as here. The temporal tide is zero at the extreme surfaces, growing centrifugally toward the edges. The skaters, called guerreros de Castaneda (“Castaneda warriors”), travel the furrows at zero time and escape the crushing highways and colectivos of the middle layers.
Ardis Vala
In the present cycle the most visible layer is Ardis Vala, the ten-layered crystal where the Seekers move and where the Zodiacal Platforms appear with concrete guardians.
