Marcel Vogel, IBM scientist and world renown metaphysician, devoted the latter part of his life to comprehending hidden truths, and in particular, the mysteries pertaining to crystals. Utilizing scientific methods and working with a host of volunteers he pioneered the field of crystal energies. Marcel Vogel investigated the interaction of crystal energy with the so-called subtle or etheric forces within nature.
Crystals are a special form of matter. Each crystal is a solid with a regular internal arrangement of atoms or molecules. Like all other 'living' things, crystals are 'born' from a seed and undergo growth processes in their formation. He discovered an intelligent matrix existing in crystals with the ability to store, amplifiy and transfer resonant information,
Crystals have been utilized by mankind throughout history, although particularly so in the past few hundred years. Just as different plants provide a variety of herbal essences, different crystals serve a myriad of functions. For example, some crystals are piezoelectric. Discovered by the French physicist and chemist Pierre Curie (1859–1906), the piezoelectric effect is a phenomenon demonstrated by certain crystals: when squeezed or stretched, a voltage is produced across the crystal's face. This effect is reversible as well, for when a voltage is applied to a piezoelectric crystal it will stretch; if the polarity of the voltage is alternated, the crystal will rapidly expand and contract, producing a vibration. It is this vibration that makes quartz especially useful.
The understanding that crystal energy can be of positive use to humanity is a tremendous realization. The discovery of the mechanism behind this action is of even greater importance. Marcel Vogels work remains a milestone in this process. Just as electronic revolutionized physical life, future crystalonics will transform the inner life.
