Maureen: This channeled message came in response to questions about how quartz is used in timekeeping devices. All electronic timepieces, clocks, watches, refrigerators, and even stoves use quartz specifically created to make use of the piezoelectric effect that causes it to oscillate in a very precise and rhythmic way. The questions were directed to the Lords of Time because the man making the inquiry suspected that all quartz in devices around the world could be programmed to potentially cause aging.
