Under the guidance and leadership of Nick Nocerino, the Society of Crystal Skulls, International, has initiated, funded, and executed numerous crystal skull research projects over the years. Actual time spent with a particular crystal skull is but a minute portion of the hours needed to prepare for and mount such a project. Research is not a matter of collecting A impressions.
Research is undertaken for the purpose of establishing facts or principles .
It is accomplished in the real world environment using cognitive thinking. Crystal Skull research, by its very nature, requires an understanding of scientific, as well as, metaphysical techniques. To study one aspect without the other gives a lop sided view of these artifacts. A process that brings science and metaphysics together has been developed over the years through diligent and sometimes boring work, patience, and honest questioning. Both hard and soft scientific techniques are used to establish a foundation with individual crystal skulls.
