Crystal Mission begins with the Greenpeace Antarctic expedition and leads a New Zealand doctor into fantastic territory – the discovery of a planetary electro-magnetic grid, and its connection with ancient foundation points like the Great Pyramid of Giza, a crystal mountain in Arizona, and secret sites in Tibet and New Zealand.
Assisted by Hopi Indian, Mayan, Australian Aboriginal and New Zealand Maori wisdom-keepers, Crystal Mission becomes an exploration into the history of Planet Eart. Ancient healing methods involving crystals and electro-magnetism are rediscovered and put to use, both on a human and a global scale.
Crystal Mission is the story of one New Zealand explorer who voyages into the American New Age consciousness and lived to tell the tale... Cornelius van Dorp, intrigued by the “magical” power of crystals, has written what must be one of the most interesting inside accounts of lunacy, solipsism and yes, “far out” work being done in the New Age south-western community.
We meet an ex-IBM scientist working on medical applications of crystal technology, ex-US naval intelligence operatives sounding the alarm over UFOs, a man who may or may not be a CIA agent with a crystal purportedly snatched from an underwater pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle, and a crew of people whose group therapy consists of channeling ancient Egyptian deities.
It’s a loving book and the author is resolute in his courage and willingness to pursue his intuition, no matter where it takes him.
Sunday Star Times
The writer begins a journey into territory that makes Asimov’s Fantastic Voyage seem merely pedestrian. Crystal Mission becomes a voyage into New Age ideas, tribal myths and legends. The book can be seen as an intriguing dip into arcane waters.
Nelson Evening Mail
An interesting and hard to put-down book, this is the story of Cornelius’s journey from being a doctor for Greenpeace in the Antarctic to his experiences on the Native North American Indian mesas and amid the pyramids in Mexico. Many of his experiences are fascinating.

Dr van Dorp’s journey is a mystical one which continues to this day. We here in Nexus who appreciate the joys of synchronicity weren’t surprised when, out of the blue, we received an unrelated fax from the good doctor just as, unbeknown to him, we were about to start reviewing his book. May the force be with you, too!
Nexus Magazine
A startling series of coincidences are the basis for an exploration of the principle of synchronicity, which connects the five parts of this book. The author’s wish is to inspire people to follow their own synchronicities and discover their own true potential – to find their own Crystal Mission.
What’s On The Planet
In this book, Dr Cornelius applies his diagnostic skills to research the use of crystals and electro-magnetic technology in healing. An incredible journey of physical and metaphysical adventure. Well worth reading!

Excerpt...
On the night of the 16th of August I noticed we had the most stunning display of the Aurora Australis that year. The sky was alive with shimmering curtains of white light. It was forty degrees below zero, and I was soon driven inside into our high-tech, warm little base.
I put my favourite tape on the stereo: Bob Marley Live. Somehow it sounded different. It was a live concert, and I could almost feel the energy of the crowd as they responded to the music. Suddenly the feelings and emotions intensified, and I was picking up not only the sorrow and suffering of people all over the world, but the suffering of thousands of years of human history; bloodshed, rape and horror.
It was the most powerful feeling of my life. I was alone there in the Antarctic, dancing with the music with tears streaming down my face, feeling the pain of human history. The event more than any other turned my life inside out.
This was first experience of human telepathic contact, and feeling it – as painful as it was – gave me hope. I knew that the Harmonic Convergence was not just a pointless exercise, a “moronic contrivance” as the Americans called it at McMurdo Station.
But it wasn’t only the event at the time that changed me; it was also what happened after I got out of the Antarctic. It was then that I started, as recorded in this story, bumping into people all over the world who had participated in the event. Very mysteriously, very synchronously.
This is a story of synchronicity; of what happens when we ignore our rational thought processes for a while and just follow the energy, using as our signposts, strange coincidences.
