This essay is created in order to compare several vastly different topics - the rational approach to career and soft skills development and a creative, irrational method which is used if you have enough time/space/motivation to perfect certain skills.
Semi-precious stones are used both as a practical term and a metaphor.
They depict a state of mind in which the operator can do some 'shapeshifting' (almost literally) and expand their creativity and world perception.
This irrational approach is based on the idea of holistic personal growth which seems to be one of the most ancient yet not primitive methods of gaining a moral/mental privilege over the others.
This trend and a penchant for leadership might be criticized vastly, yet in its cultivized form it is a notable part of human nature.
Since a spiritual path called channeling belongs to the 'culprit' sector of the immense esoteric continuum, partly because it seems quite hard for its operators to explain the nature of their gift, I try to resort to several other terms which might include the following:
'Hierarchic plasticity' - this is a term I use here for the first time without having been exposed to the whole ocean of classical works on spiritism. In the social field, however, the term 'plasticity' might refer to the ability (natural or previously evoked by means of training) to shift between social roles/strata/functions.
This is one of the skills which are vital in the times of turmoil, crisis and confrontation. Accompanied by resilience, it helps people keep their careers/social standing sustainable and decrease suffering.
This is what readers exactly seek when they turn to self-help literature or practical methods.
However, once you start shopping around, you might notice some trainers function and express themselves with a greater deal of intergrity than the others.
With hierarchic plasticity a question of quality might correlate - and quality could differ from perfectly brilliant to lamentable.
If you are aware of several key skills you possess - e.g. creative writing, sales, artistic self-expression, serendipity, maturity and some others, you could start looking for the likes of them and seek methods to improve them.
This is how and when the idea of using precious/semi-precious stones, numerology, astrology and some other 'irrational' methods might occur.
This by no means involves you becoming a full-time psychic. This merely corresponds with your workflow optimization or, alternatively, smart, mindful enhancement.
So, precious stone which have, according to ceaseless written and spoken evidence, proved their efficiency at showing you the best version of yourself.
