(He) was one
of the inmates of the concentration camp, but obviously he
hadn't been there long: His posture was erect, his eyes bright, his
energy indefatigable. Since he was fluent in English, French, German
and Russian, as well as Polish, he became a kind of unofficial camp
translator.
We (the American
soldiers) came to him with all sorts of problems; the
paper work alone was staggering in attempting to relocate people whose
families, even whole hometowns, might have disappeared. But though he
worked fifteen and sixteen hours a day, he showed no signs of
weariness. While the rest of us were drooping with fatigue, he seemed
to gain strength. "We have time for this old fellow," he'd say. "He's
been waiting to see us all day." His compassion for his
fellow-prisoners glowed on his face, and it was to this glow that I came
when my own spirits were low.
So I was astonished
to learn when his own papers came before us one day,
that he had been in (the) Wuppertal (concentration camp) since 1939!
For six years he had lived on the same starvation diet, slept in the
same airless and disease-ridden barracks as everyone else, but without
the least physical or mental deterioration.
Perhaps even
more amazing, every group in the camp looked on him as a
friend. He was the one to whom quarrels between inmates were brought
for arbitration. Only after I'd been at Wuppertal a number of weeks did
I realize what a rarity this was in a compound where the different
nationalities of prisoners hated each other almost as much as they did
the Germans.
As for Germans,
feeling against them ran so high that in some of the
camps liberated earlier, former prisoners had seized guns, run into the
nearest village and simply shot the first Germans they saw. Part of
our instructions were to prevent this kind of thing and again he was our
greatest asset, reasoning with the different groups, counselling
forgiveness.
."It's
not easy for some of them to forgive," I commented to him one
day as we sat over mugs of tea in the processing center. "So many of
them have lost members of their families."
(Then he told
his story.) "We lived in the Jewish section of Warsaw, my
wife, our two daughters and our three little boys. When the Germans
reached our street they lined everyone against a wall and opened up with
machine guns. I begged to be allowed to die with my family, but because
I spoke German they put me in a work group."
"I had
to decide right then, whether to let myself hate the soldiers who
had done this. It was an easy decision, really. I was a lawyer. In my
practice I had seen too often what hate could do to people's minds and
bodies. Hate had just killed the six people who mattered most to me in
the world. I decided then that I would spend the rest of my
life-whether it was a few days or many years-loving every person I came
in contact with."
"Loving
every person"...........................this was the power that
had kept a man well in the face of every privation.

Is this the secret that explains why his body and mind had not deteriorated under such conditions?
The best
way to begin our exploration into this
subject is to look at our
universe and how it works. Einstein's equation
E=mc2 tells us that all
matter is energy. Physicists have proven that
everything in our world that
appears solid is actually made up of swirling
molecules. These molecules are
vibrating at different frequencies, which mold them
into their current forms.
And most importantly, our own bodies are energy.
Here's where
it gets interesting. You actually have
the ability to control
the frequency at which your body vibrates.
Scientists have measured the
body's vibrational frequency when people are in
various physical and
emotional states. And the results have been
eye-opening.
For example,
a man named David Hawkins conducted a
29-year study that
demonstrated that the human body becomes stronger or
weaker depending on a
person's mental state. He created a scale from
1-1000 that mapped human
consciousness.
Any state
that causes a person to vibrate at a
frequency below 200 (or 20,000
cycles per second) weakens the body, and from 200 to
1000 makes the body
stronger.
The lowest
vibration rate is shame. When you have a
shameful thought, you
weaken yourself. The next is guilt, and then
apathy, grief, fear and
anxiety, craving, anger and hate. All these will
weaken you.
But at 250
on the scale you have neutrality (trust),
which strengthens you.
Then going up on the scale there's willingness,
optimism, acceptance and
forgiveness, reason and understanding, love and
reverence, joy and serenity,
peace and bliss at 600, and enlightenment and
ineffability at 700-1000.
The highest
calibration during this study was Mother
Theresa at 700. One
thousand is called God-consciousness, or spirit.
This is the frequency of
absolute power.
And it gets
better. Because when the highest and
fastest frequencies of
spirit are brought to the presence of lower and
slower frequencies, they
nullify and dissipate those things we call problems.
They said of Jesus that
his presence in the village and nothing more would
raise the consciousness of
everyone around him. When Mother Theresa walked
into a room, everyone was
suddenly filled with a feeling of bliss, and
thoughts of hatred were almost
impossible in her presence.
I'm telling
you right now: You have the capacity
within you to emanate the
same energy as these saints. You have the ability
and the power to increase
your vibration rate and access the highest and
fastest energies for the
purpose of eradicating any problems in your life.
You can negotiate the
presence of higher, faster spiritual frequencies at
any time in your life and
then witness the miracles that follow.
