Former NFL player Devon Cajuste is trading the ultraphysical for the metaphysical.
Cajuste, a Seaford, LI, native, who walked away from the game in January, has spent the first few months of his retirement working as a crystal healer. He’s using his arsenal of 100 precious stones and gems — worth more than $20,000 — to tap into the transcendental energy of an entirely different fan base.
“Football was not my passion,” says Cajuste, 26, a towering 6-foot-4 former tight end. “The feeling that I got from [crystals] was greater than any play I made in the game.”
A little more than two years ago, he was released by the San Francisco 49ers and signed to the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. He was miserable, he says. Winters in Green Bay, Wis., felt extra-harsh for the sun-loving Stanford grad. Plus, he’d played wide receiver in college and on the 49ers, so he had to start from scratch learning how to be a tight end.

Cajuste had a 28 on the Wonderlic.
That’s about the average for engineering majors.
Being a good enough athlete to get to the NFL plus a 28 Wonderlic is nothing for Stanford to be ashamed of admitting.
Don’t. Ever.
AND it made Tor laugh!
Sounds like the homes here is a New Ager.
TCE...the struggle is real.....
I really don’t understand why ‘crystals’ would be somehow ‘dark’.
If it makes people happy and gives comfort, what’s your problem?
If you get thyroid disease, and go for therapy, you’re basically putting your faith in “rocks” anyway...
(Maybe we don’t know much about crystals, yet....)
A base of suckers and moonbats willing to pay money for someone to wave magic chicken bones over them.
“The feeling that I got from [crystals] was greater than any play I made in the game.”
"... especially when I put the crystals in a pipe and smoked them. It was ... like ... far out, man."
Crampbark? I love Crampbark!
Advanced math books constantly change, but we don't want to mess with the basics. My calculus book that I'm writing will be different. I have problems about beer, sex, love, farting, and a bunch of other silly stuff (like women). My goal is to make the students read the textbook just to see what is the next crazy problem. My book will be online, and free.
At least he is not a thug, respect him on that at least.
Interestingly enough NASA uses crystals to warm up space suits. They grind up jade very fine and dump into vat of polymers to make threads used in fabric to line space suits. The crystals work on the same frequency as human ‘chi’ of Chinese origin, and our bodies’ chi responds in kind, boosting circulation of blood. Demonstrated scientifically and used in NASA.
Belief in the “powers” and attributes of gemstones and crystals has existed for thousands of years. The Asians have always prized Jade; and some pretty smart men, including Aristotle, believed in the efficacy of gemstones to protect/heal.
This isn’t ‘demonology’, witchcraft, or anything like that, it’s just folklore; perhaps an intuited idea that came to ancient people from a perceived ‘pattern in the web’ as they viewed their material surroundings - and which may someday prove to have some relevance to fact, as ‘scientism’ views fact today.
(I’ve stood on a hill above a large construction site where they were building an enormous parking garage. In the midst of everything, one worker was walking, “surveying”, with dowsing rods. If you don’t think people still believe in stuff like this, and practice it - even good Christians - you’re not paying attention :-)
-JT, going now to work on my crystal radio set.
