On December 21, 2012, while people around the world watched the Mayan calendar wind down, we were in Texas—intentionally participating in a global consciousness study.
With Max, the Texas Crystal Skull, beside us, we focused on a single phrase:
“The best possible outcome for all involved.”
That focused energy was encoded into a small batch of quartz crystals—then quietly stored away.
Fast forward to 2020.
While packing products made with those very crystals, something unexpected happened.
A neighbor’s guest—a musician from a Blues Brothers tribute band—brought a dog.
The dog slipped through the gate and lunged at Neo, our pregnant Yorkie.
Elon stepped in to protect her.
He was hurt, but survived—thanks to emergency surgery and quick action from Dave, Elon’s best friend.
Later, we learned that Dan Aykroyd, co-founder of the original Blues Brothers, also founded Crystal Head Vodka—a brand inspired by the 13 ancient crystal skulls.
Including Max.
That moment—strange, real, and unforgettable—
became what we now call:
The Chomp of Destiny
It wasn’t coincidence.
It was the genesis of Encoded Elements™.
