Marcel Vogels transformation from Rationality to Spirituality
Marcel Vogel's life was anything but ordinary, marked by a profound journey that transitioned from rational scientific pursuits to a spiritual exploration. His story commenced with an extraordinary event in his childhood—a near-death experience that left him grappling with existential questions at an early age.
Instead of the carefree pursuits of a typical childhood, Marcel's focus shifted to the profound queries of purpose and existence. A turning point came when, at the tender age of 11, he received a revelation during a period of deep contemplation – a message forecasting a future as a phosphor chemist, engaged in pioneering work in luminescence, culminating in the creation of his own business.
Marcel's early fascination with the luminescent properties of fireflies fueled his scientific endeavors. His journey to replicate the chemicals responsible for these insects' glow began at the age of 12, involving tireless efforts and even translation of German articles on phosphor chemistry at his local Mechanics Institute.
Despite the absence of luminescence courses in high school and college, Marcel's passion flourished. In 1940, a meeting with German Professor Doctor Pringsheim marked the collaboration that led to the publication of "The Luminescence of Liquids and Solids and Their Practical Application" in 1944. This endeavor laid the foundation for Marcel's luminescent enterprise, Vogel Luminescence Corporation.
Marcel's career took a significant turn in 1957 when he joined IBM as a research scientist. His remarkable creativity and dedication resulted in over 30 patents, including the development of a magnetic coating for IBM's hard disks. His inventions extended to fields like liquid crystals, photo relays, and rare earth phosphors, contributing significantly to the technologies powering today's LCD displays, watches, and radios.
After 27 years as a rational scientist, Marcel embarked on an unconventional path in 1984. Establishing Psychic Research, Inc., he delved into human-plant communication and crystal healing. His well-equipped lab, courtesy of IBM, became a haven for exploring the uncharted realms of consciousness.
Marcel's experiments aimed to understand if plants could respond to human emotions and thoughts. Through meticulous setups, such as connecting plants to Wheatstone Bridges, he demonstrated that plants could indeed react to human intentions, regardless of distance. This marked a pivotal shift in Marcel's perspective – from a rational scientist to a spiritual seeker.
In his pursuit of spiritual knowledge, Marcel introduced Vogel Crystals, meticulously cut quartz crystals designed to amplify Universal Life Force energy. Beyond technical specifications, Marcel emphasized the importance of cutting these crystals with love, aligning them with a higher intention for healing.
Marcel's therapeutic work with Vogel Crystals gained acclaim as he collaborated with medical professionals to explore their healing potential. His global tours, television appearances, and publications positioned him as a prominent figure in crystal healing during the late 20th century.
Marcel Vogel's intention was clear – to replace mysticism with knowledge, fostering a loving and informed approach to healing. His life's journey, from a rational scientist to a spiritual explorer, continues to inspire those seeking a harmonious balance between science and spirituality.
