Marcel's collaborators : Drew Tousley (V)



         "Telephones for God" is how crystals were described by Marcel Vogel, a former research scientist for IBM, and the man who became the pioneer in developing the modern therapeutic use of quartz crystal healing tools. The Vogel name has become synonymous with the double terminated shape that has been so extensively copied in the new age/healing community marketplace.

          I had the great fortune to work for Marcel and his son Marcel Jr., and to learn the craft of cutting the Vogel crystals which became his trademark.

          I managed Marcel's cutting operation from 1985 until his passing in 1991, starting with virtually no skills (I was horrible!), and gradually developed a level of mastery within the medium . While I still make (and love) the basic Vogel designs, both healing tools and pendants, over the years I have been blessed with a great many new designs- to be used as meditation enhancers and healing tools in their own right- some of which are presented here.

          I could not begin to share all of the wonderful experiences my wife and I have had with crystals, and there is no doubt in my mind that crystals have a unique and special ability to help us open to a broader experience of ourselves as spiritual beings and to strengthen our personal connection with God/Goddess.

          I have always endeavored to create a peaceful and harmonious environment in which to cut crystals and I have always made it a point to say a special prayer before starting each piece, while also blessing and programming each crystal before sending it into the world. Cutting is my Yoga and meditation, and we have been told over and over again that our work is unmatched both in terms of physical beauty and in terms of energy.

         Ultimately crystals are about energy, and I'm pleased to know that these crystals have found their way into the hands and hearts of people who understand and have reaped the benefits, psychologically, spiritually, and even physically, of wearing and/or using crystals for their own awakening.

Marcel's collaborators : Gil Riegler (IV)

 


       Gil is one of the only two cutters that Marcel certified to cut his Vogel cut® crystals.

       Gil Riegler one of Americas premier crystal cutters, inherited his artistic talent and eye for details from his Yemenite ancestors which are known for their delicate and harmonious art work. He balances this talent with his energy sensitivity which he has developed during the last fifteen years. Gil has studied with Marcel Vogel and various other teachers. He is a certified Hypnotherapist and MariEl healer. Gil Has also studied channeling for many years and incorporates this talent while cutting custom pieces for his clients. 

       Gil Riegler is one of two people that were certified by the late Dr. Marcel Vogel to cut his Vogel Cut® crystals. Gil started his crystal cutting career in 1987 in Marcel Vogel's crystal work shop with the help of Drew Tousley who showed him the basic techniques of crystal cutting. Together they improved crystal cutting methods until, today, these crystals are internationally famed for their energy, brilliance and geometrical symmetry.

       When working with a client's hand print and date of birth Gil creates quartz pieces which are individually tuned to the customer. Whether the piece is custom cut for healing purposes or as a gift the unique talents of the cutter make this a very special crystal.

       Gil Lives in Ramona California with his sweetheart and nine camels. A few years ago he came across scientific research stating that camel milk contains insulin that can help diabetics control their blood sugar. He is now starting the first camel  dairy in the United States. 


Gil Riegler, certified by Vogel to cut his crystals since 1988.

Gil Riegler:

       “If I were to sum up my experience of Marcel in two words I would say "Unconditional Love". It seemed that Marcel lived a double life. In one he was with us, teaching, loving, intriguing us with new thoughts as he challenged our old beliefs. In the other life Marcel seemed to be one with life. His perception seemed to follow the atoms of life itself as if they were his friends. He knew them, He knew the founding block of the universe and I am sure that if I asked him how he persuaded them to reveal their secret life to him he would reply "Unconditional love".


       “I remember Marcel as the man that in his early seventies was still giving bear hugs to everyone. As I entered His lab Marcel would turn around and pick me off the floor with an amazingly strong hug! 


       I am not the specialist that can tell you of all Marcel's great achievements but I can tell you that meeting him changed my life forever. From the moment that he 'interviewed' me for the job by checking my energy level and frequency on the Omega Machine  to his flattering comments as he held up the crystals that I cut. He is a person that I will always miss dearly.”

Marcel's collaborators : Dan Willis (III)



           Dan Willis is one of the Top Secret Military Witnesses that testified at the National Press Club in Washington DC in 2001 in front of the major mainstream media of the world with hundreds of other military, intelligence, and scientific experts that disclosed the existence of Extra terrestrials, UFOs, and Free Energy and Healing technologies. Dan is also a scientific collaborator of the great IBM scientist, and crystal researcher Marcel Vogel, creator of the Vogel Cut healing crystal. Dan has been working with Jen Han Eredyon, a Plieadian crystal scientist to confirm Vogel's research and create a free energy generator using crystal technology.

           "In the early 1980's I was honored to have as a dear friend and work with the late Dr. Marcel Vogel who founded Psychic Research Inc.

          Although my background is in traditionally taught electronics and communications, I have always felt that the laws that govern these sciences have a profound basis that goes far beyond that which scientists can presently measure.   An unusual experience in my life that triggered my interest in sacred geometry is what lead me into seeking out the one person on the planet that was scientifically linking consciousness with geometrical forms as exemplified in crystals, Dr. Marcel Vogel. In 1983 he asked me to join him as a research associate.

           In the year 2022, my dear friend Elena Danaan was able to relay communications via her implant to an off world Pleiadian scientist by the name of Jen Han Eredyon. In these ongoing exchanges I have greatly expanded my understanding of this science from a culture that is many thousands of years ahead of our current understanding. I am sharing this knowledge in the spirit of exploration that Marcel exemplified in the research of crystals and consciousness.

          To obtain some of the first crystals to be used in this research work, so that the quartz could be cut in the above shape for experiments, I drove from San Diego to the mines in Arkansas and carefully hand selected the first large batch of quartz crystals for Marcel. These were cut and faceted for approximately two dozen medical doctors in the San Francisco Bay area. This group of doctors he used as an experimental base for research for the application of his technique of releasing discordant energy patterns in patients bodies that manifested as physical aliments. These ailments were treated through the intervention of focused thought with breath amplified by utilizing these quartz crystals. Below is a 1984 photo of myself at the crystal mines in Arkansas, on a mission for the lab.

           I took this photo of Marcel in his favorite chair at home in San Jose. Marcel could rotate the crystal to what he called "The Critical Rotational Angle", which is the angle in which the crystal becomes resonant with the body you are attuning to. Resonance is indicated by a sharp rise in energy sensed by the hand and which Marcel said he could measure on an electrostatic voltmeter.


 

          The quartz crystal sphere which Marcel is holding is one I lent him for his experimentation.  I still have the sphere and I believe what he said is true "Records are written in stone" for I can still sense his presence with the sphere. It appears in the photo that the camera's flash happened to catch the correct angle to light up the sphere as it did, but with Marcel, you never knew if it was only the light of the flash, as he was focusing energy into the sphere.
