✵ Bible ✵
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; Deuteronomy 8:15

✵ Cayce Readings ✵
Flint is mentioned six times in six documents.
The Source discussed flint in a few Life Readings, including references to Flint, Michigan and a Flint building in Auburn, NY, which I did not include.
. . . In Uranus, we find that the entity may be very magnanimous in some experience and then as hard as flint in another, or variable even to that of pessimism or criticism . . .

Another reading described the sale of a company called Flint Gravel:
Q: Will the Flint Gravel Company . . . be sold soon, and will this body lose anything on this investment?
A: . . . they will make some money out of it.

Another reading discussed digging a well. The questioner wanted information about how to best proceed:

More on Flint
Flint has been used since prehistoric times to construct tools and is consequently an important stone in the history of mankind.
On the other hand, I almost didn’t include the stone. I accidentally found flint while searching through the Bible and ultimately realized that I needed to cover this important topic.
For millions of years, mankind has fashioned various tools and implements using the chert and quartz compound known as flint. We’ve already discussed why quartz crystal and other rocks composed of silicon dioxide are important. They are sturdy materials that could be used to make vital weapons or tools during those early times.
If you are guided to work with flint, this stone will connect you to your past lives in prehistory and may help to provide healing for that energy. I believe that daily living was extremely difficult for people during that time. A constant fear of animals or the elements threatened the existence of mankind at every turn during those early days.
Working with flint will assist you in letting go of those memories at the cellular level so that you can move forward without carrying any of that primal fear into your current life. If you suffer from deep fears and do not know the cause, use flint by holding a piece during a past-life regression session. Doing so will allow you to travel safely back in time energetically to revisit those painful memories and then let them go. Releasing those memories will give you greater physical energy in the present and a renewed sense of strength and courage for all of your daily endeavors.
Often as we go about our present daily life, we are afraid of things, whether we realize it or not. There is the fear of rejection or the fear of failure—and these days our fears are usually more emotional than primal in nature. Nevertheless, we often carry deep memories of survival fears. Any fears that pale in importance to life and death matters can be crippling to our evolvement if we allow them to be.
Flint helps you to release emotional fear. It is beneficial to accept the simple reality that the fear of rejection or perhaps the documented worst fear of most people—the fear of public speaking—will not kill you. In fact, facing these fears will only make you stronger, as the saying goes. Use flint to empower your actions as you gain strength from this extremely tough stone. It will help you to transcend your limitations and become courageous in the face of any adversity.
