"MAX", The Texas Crystal Skull

( Keeper: JoAnn Parks, Houston, TX, July, 1995 )

http://193.219.41.88/audre/maxcs.html

The largest ancient crystal skull at the present time is known as

"Max", the Texas Crystal Skull. I had my first opportunity to see "Max"

in February, 1988, when it was on display at the Whole Life Expo in Los

Angeles. Since that time, "Max" and his keeper, JoAnn Parks, have

traveled all over the Un-ted States, providing others an opportunity to

experience this ancient artifact.

Recently, Mrs. Parks and "Max" came to visit our home town of Chicago,

and was very well received. Mrs. Parks told me during our phone

conversation that she is receiving many invitations to bring "Max" to

various cities throughout the country. In addition, while she was

recently in Miami, doing a presentation at a local museum, some

professional technicians took a holographic image of "Max", which

should be available to the public at some future time. Mrs. Parks

is also working on a new book that will share more information about

the history of "Max", what type of experiences people have had in

the presence of "Max" and research that has been performed upon

this crystal skull. We strongly recommend to our readers, if you

have an opportunity to experience "Max", you don't want to miss out.

If a person wishes to contact Mrs. Parks, to find out the schedule

of events related to "MAX" and in which cities he will be available

to be seen and experienced, she can be contacted at:

One of the people who had an opportunity to spend time with "Max"

while he was in Chicago is Debbie Smoker. Debbie is a contributing

writer for New Avenues, a local New A-e journal published bi-monthly

for the Southern Wisconsin area. Debbie had an opportunity to

interview Mrs. Parks to discuss how she came in contact with "Max"

and what has happened to Mrs. Parks since that time. We have been

granted permission to re-print Debbie's article to share with our

readers.

Enjoy and discover the mysteries surrounding "Max" ...............

MAX, the Crystal Skull

By Debbie Smoker, R.Ht. (June/July 95 issue, New Avenues)

Believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old, Max is known to

be one of the 13 ancient crystal skulls of the world. Interestingly,

they were all found in Central America and Mexico. Much research is

currently being done on the skulls. However, their origin is still a

baffling mystery. They seem to defy logic. Everything that is known

about lapidary work indicates that the skulls should have been

shattered fractured, or fallen apart when carved.

Many People have profound visions and p-ychic experiences when

viewing the skulls. Some believe that the skulls are intricate

computers, possibly brought before from other planets, and hold

knowledge about the origin of our r-ce and the planet Earth.

Max was given to JoAnn and Carl Parks by a Tibetan red hat lama

named Norbu Chen. I recently spoke with JoAnn about Max and I was

impressed with her integrity. It struck me immediately that she is

not out for personal attention or sensationalism. She is a kind

woman with a great sense of humor, who had the courage to do what

the Universe has asked of her. This is what she told me:

Debbie: How do you know Norbu Chen?

JoAnn: We met Norbu through our family medical doctor in 1973.

At the time, we really didn't know who he was or what be did

Norbu needed some work done on his home, so our doctor recommended

my husband who is in the custom furniture manufacturing business.

After working on his house for about two months, my husband picked

up a magazine and saw Norbus' picture in it with an article titled

Norbu Chen, Tibetan H-aler. We were amazed! I then asked my husband

to introduce me to Norbu because our daughter was dying of bone

c-ncer and the d-ctors had only given her three months to live. When

I met Norbu and touched his hand, I knew instinctively that there

was something extraordinary about this man. I learned that he had

been back in the Un-ted States for some time practicing his ancient

Tibetan he-ling methods. I asked all about his work. He told me that

he needed someone to answer phones and to tell his patients how to

prepare their bodies to the hea-ing energies that would go to the

acupuncture points and meridian points of the body. Without really

realizing what the next seven years had in store for me, I offered

to help him. Norbu did work with my daughter and she lived three

more years, far longer than the three months we had been told to

expect.

All I knew was that he was helping people and that's what

mattered.

Debbie: I think it was obvious that you were destined to meet.

JoAnn: Well I hadn't even been into meta-hysics, didn't work with

crystals, and never heard of crystal skulls. It was like walking out

of a closet into a whole new world. Norbu had an office in the same

building as our family doctor. He had to use a lot of strong mind

power and breath probe. He completely immerses into our being in

the he-ling proms. But be had to make a lot of loud noises. This

disturbed people in other offices, so Norbu built a room onto his

home and moved his office there.

I was totally unprepared for what I saw the first time I walked

in.

From floor to ceiling, the room was entirely red. Norbu now wore

red and bl-ck robes rather than conventional clothing, and I

wondered what I had gotten myself into He then showed my husband

and I his altar which held several ancient artifacts on it,

including a 400 year old trumpet and the crystal skull which were

gifted to him by the Guatemalan shamans in Central America. He

never did tell me much about the skull.

Norbu founded the Chakpori Ling Healing Foundation in Texas. I

witnessed many m-racles there and was eventually allowed to go

down and watch some of the healing ceremonies. I didn't realize

at the time that this was a very, great honor. I remember that

one of the Tibetan lamas was always fixing me Tibetan hamburgers,

and those were some spicy meatballs!

I never read anything about the crystal skull, but the monks talked

to it and chanted to it in Tibetan and claimed they communicated

with it.

They would tap into the energy of the skull and run it through the

meridian of the patients' body to assist their healings. So they

used it as their s-iritual and h- aling tool.

My husband and I were very close to Norbu and before he died,

Norbu told us nothing about the skull except that it was a rare and

special crystal and that only a few of them exist in the world today.

He said, "Take this, and one of these days you will know what it is

for and about."

Well we didn't know, but we brought it home and put it in a box

in the closet for seven years, from 1980 to 1987. During this time

it would come to me in dreams. It told me it was looking for a man

and I should find him. I couldn't believe it, but suddenly found

myself standing in the closet and talking to a rock. I finally said,

"Wait a minute! I don't want anything to do with you ." We argued

for seven years. He said, "You will be talking to hundreds of people

about me. I'm very important to mankind.

You've got to find this man for me. By the way, my name isn't

The Skull. My name is Max."

So here I am, standing in the closet talking to a rock and

telling him that I'd help find this man. (She laughs) So in June

of 1987, I was watching a local TV show about UFOs. And there

was a picture of the famous Mitchell-Hedges skull. Until then I

hadn't realized there were more skulls. So I called the TV station

and told them I had a skull. They were very skeptical but

eventually came out to see it. They were flabbergasted.

From there I went to the Houston Museum where I learned of

several other skulls, one in a museum in France, one in London

England, and some are in private collections. I learned that Max

is the only skull currently allowed to be researched and to go

to sacred ceremonies or be looked at and touched. He goes to

many, many ceremonies, including the

Activation Ceremony, Editor's Note: Special Ceremony that was

conducted with hea-er - Star Johnsen in the past, view this page

for more information) which is the aligment of his energy field

with various vortexes and grids around the U.S. He's in hea-ing

ceremonies.

He is also involved in Native Indian ceremonies. At Mary

Thunder's Ranch, Max goes to the Sweat Lodge, Medicine Wheel, and

Sacred Pipe Ceremonies. Mary is Cherokee and Souix.

I attended a lecture of JoAnn more that 13 years in the past. It was

rather strange in that after the lecture got started some people lined

up in front of Max for a what they thought would be a h-aling. They

were told that there would be no he-ling. This cause quite a commotion

among these people but they finally were convienced to sit down and the

lecture continued. I saw JoAnne later and she was sitting in the loby

of the building where she had lectured, with Max in a box or something

like a suitcase. I thought it was a little bit dangerous, just to be

sitting in this this area because someone may come along and knock

her unconscious and take Max for a ride.

Debbie: I didn't realize that Native American culture would relate to

something like that.

JoAnn: Absolutely. They know about the skulls. Grandma Tywiah Nitsch,

a well-known Seneca Indian, loves Max and has six Wolfsong Gatherings

going (gatherings of peace). Max was in Wolfsong Two. I have a

http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/wolfsong.html

video that was filmed down there, called Max, the Crystal Skull It

shows Max in ceremony, and shows many of the Mayan, Aztec and

Peruvian elders and Celtic and Aborigines from all over the world

talking about Max and what he means. They believe they will all come

back together again some day.

They don't p-ay to it. They just honor it, pay tribute to it. They

revere it as a communication device.

Debbie: So what do they think the skulls are, energies or connections

with Beings of other places?

JoAnn: Well, yes. There are many theories. Although used in Mayan

ceremonies, they are not believed to have been created by the Mayans.

Max has met with p-ychics and gurus, met-physcians, shamans, lawyers,

Indian Chiefs, paraps-chology researchers, and UFO investigators.

People come ftom all over the world. They come here thinking that

either he is extraterrestrial, brought here by visitors of a distant

star system and he's programmed like a computer.

He carries ancient knowledge from his past. Perhaps the rock has

picked up some sound and vibration and images occuring around it and

it has programmed it and it's in there. Various people sit there and

get visions and images off of it. Others believe it's an Atlantian

crystal - that it came from both places.

Debbie: Did anyone ever ask MAX directly, 'Where did you come from?"

JoAnn: He says he comes from both places. He comes from Pleiades and

from Atlantis. He is a gift to mankind. He's here as a teacher, and as

a tool, to bring people together as a Oneness. He's also here for

mankind's s-iritual growth. He seems to open up an energy in the mind

that is there, but just needs a little push. People pick up visions of

the past, of other planets, and some are creatively inspired. They feel

healing. Max is a personal experiece.

Debbie: What kind of experiences do you have with Max?

JoAnn: Mainly through dreams. I'll even have UFO dreams where they'll

talk to me and tell me things. It doesn't dominate my life. I keep my

feet on the ground. I keep an open mind and an open heart and that's

how we want people to view Max. It's only been in the last few hundred

years that the skull has been used as a symbd of e-il. In ancient

history the skull was used as a symbol of knowledge.

Debbie: How did you finally meet F.R. 'Nick Nocerino?

JoAnn: I called museums, TV stations, etc. searching for information

on anyone who knew anything about the skulls until finally someone gave

me his name. He told me he had known about the skull and been searching

or it since 1949. Max said 'This is the man!' Nick brought some

documentation, and from there it has been a learning process. Nick was

able to identify Max in two ways, the first by his documented skill in

psyc-ometry, and the second by information that he was given in 1947

by a shaman in Central America when he was working for the Gov-rnment.

I keep in touch with Nick regularly.

I've written a book on the history of Max which is, as of yet,

untitled. It's just now going to the publishers, so it will be a while

yet before it is out. Max is the largest of all the skulls, weighing

18 pounds.

Debbie: What did you do for a living before all this started?

JoAnn: Absolutely nothing. I was just a regular little housewife,

cleaned my home. I did the books for our family business and raised

my two children.

I was raised in the typical southern L-theran C-urch but I keep

an open mind. Your truths are your truths and mine are mine. Each

carries his own truth. You don't have to believe and like everything

you see, but if you don't examine other peoples' truths then you have

nothing to compare your own to.

Debbie: Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to meeting you in

June.

Anything else you would like to add?

JoAnn: Right now our plans are just to continue to allow Max to

continue to be a joy and inspiration to many thousands of people to

come. Maxwill be waiting to meet you.

In 1990, Mrs. Parks wrote a booklet that introduced and told a brief

history about "Max". This booklet was entitled, The Story of Max, The

Texas Crystal Skull. In this section, I would like to paraphase a few

more details about "Max" that were not covered in the interview above.

Some interesting information which has been discovered about Max,

during its research: Max is at least 10,000 years old or older

(generally 36,000 years is attributed to its age). Max was probably

carved from a piece of quartz that was at least 40 or 50 pounds. If

the skull had been hand rubbed down to 18 lbs., it is estimated that

it took 200 or 250 years (etc) to do. This is because it is not

believed that the Mayans really created the skulls nor was it hand

rubbed down in Mrs Parks' opinion. Max was found in a tomb in

Guatemala between 1924 and 1926.

From the scooped out indentation underneath Max, it is speculated

that this was an altar skull, where it may have been worshipped as a

G-d. The major inclusions found within "Max" travel all the way down

the inside part of the skull. The creators of "Max" carved right into

these inclusions. Due to the depth of the inclusions most experts

(crystal carvers, geologist, gemologists) all believe that no

diamond-tipped tools could have been use to shape "Max" (if such tools

even existed at the time of "Max's" creation).

Just as with other crystal skulls, Mrs. Parks believe that "MAX" is

like a computer and has the ability to record and replay events that

occur in its presence.

"Max" and JoAnn Parks are now traveling all over the Uni-ed States.

Generally, when JoAnn works alone, she will offer a lecture and a

hands-on workshop as well as private sessions with "MAX". If you would

be interested to setup a private appointment with "Max" or to sponsor a

weekend event including "Max" and Joann, please feel free to write or

call:

Through Mrs. Parks, you can also obtain her booklet, The Story of

Max, The Texas Crystal Skull or she has available a

http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/wolfsong.html

video tape entitled MAX, The 36,000 Year Old Crystal Skull: The

Oldest Peace Elder at Wolf Song II produced by Blue Star Productions.

This is a wonderful tape where "Max" is part of this sacred gathering

of International Indigenous Elders for World Peace, held in 1992. Mrs.

Parks also offers some black and white photographs of "MAX", various

small contemporary carved crystal skulls from Brazil who stay with

"MAX" and carry his energies and various other related informational

videos.

PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM JOANN PARKS

We feel "MAX" will continue to be a Joy and Inspiration to many

thousands of people to come, that he has been exposed to us at this

time to Mankind for a particular purpose, and that purpose is only

just beginning to be realized.

I am so thankful to G-d to be a part, in whatever small way that may

be, to help us understand who we are and where we are going. Go- has

given us many gifts and tools in many forms to help us along our own

path of Truth. Is "MAX" simply a tool for us, given to help us along?

WE know "MAX" is special, and Carl and I think you for this

opportunity to share "MAX" with you. We hope he leaves you with that

special little something which he does so well.

Always,

JoAnn & MAX
