Our thinking apparatus runs on water. Our
physical bodies are two-thirds water, so obviously its qualities
can heal or harm us. We now learn that water seems to remember and
later convey "information". No wonder the most dynamic
frontier in science today is water research. Or is it a re-search,
I wondered, after encountering researchers who: show how
neuroscience tends to confirm medieval concepts situating memory,
imagination and reason in water-filled cavities of the brain.
experiment with transferring, from water to us, the life-force
energy chi, also called prana down through the ages, or study
specially-shaped water pipes used by ancient Minoan culture in
Crete; or show how the emanations from healers' hands change
water. Measure physical qualities of "holy water," or
effects of conscious intent upon water's crystalline structure, or
build prototype inventions aimed at using water as a source of
energy.
Some study the big picture, such as the
claim that rivers self-organize and energetically recharge
themselves through spinning motions. And some point out the
well-known anomalies that water is densest at 4 degrees Celsius
(=39F), and strangely expands when cooled further, so that its
solid state floats on top of its liquid state. Water as the
"universal solvent" melds with nearly any element.
Hydrogen, the main ingredient in water, is spread throughout
galaxies, and ice is found in dust clouds in outer space.
The picture of water that emerges is what
Marilyn Ferguson in her book Aquarian Conspiracy calls" the
strangest stuff around." Learning about the mysteries of
water evokes a primal fore-knowing, like a racial memory, perhaps
pro-science, something we have known for a very long time.
Before our materialistic age lost the
abilities to sense subtle energetics, water was central to sacred
rituals and symbols: Baptism, The holy river, Spiritual visions of
the Ocean of Love, Myths of the flood or of creation, Drinking of
sacred waters when visiting an oracle or a shrine. The Sumerian
goddess Inanna had a vase in place of a heart, from which flowed
miraculous water. The Bronze Age civilization of King Minos at his
city of Knossos on the island of Crete apparently lived by the
principle that water should be returned to the earth in the same
conditions it was when it was borrowed, treating all water as
holy. Our era in contrast treats rivers and oceans as dumping
grounds, and we face shortages of drinkable water. Dr. Karl Maret
predicts that water will become the currency in the new century.
Meanwhile researchers of water mysteries struggle for funding.
Ferguson notes: "The quest to
understand water hasn't summoned up the capital and glamour of
space research, although it may have more direct bearing on our
lives. While humans burn rain forests and alter other factors that
kept our habitat moist, we should remember the nagging suspicion
that Mars was once a watery planet."
Let Water Move, Keep it Cool
We've had ample warnings. Austrian forest
warden Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) warned about wastelands that
did and would appear on our planet when vast forests disappear. He
observed the interaction between water and forest, such as the
vitality of cold, pure water in tree-sheltered streams. He
admonished: "Comprehend nature, then copy nature." He
taught that water is a living rhythmic substance. In maturity, it
gives of itself to everything needing life. However, water can
become diseased through incorrect handling. Dying water harms
animals, plants, and fish.
Whether stilled by a dam or a bottle,
stagnant and warm waters begin to deteriorate. Conversely, at a
cool 4 degrees Celsius (39F), moving water is densest, strongest
and at its best carrying capacity. Wild rivers have inherent
self-control mechanisms, if left alone to establish their own
homeostasis, that is if kept cool with natural overhanging
vegetation and allowed to meander around bends and therefore be
lively with purposeful swirling motion. Shortsighted human
engineering, clear-cut forests, mega-project dams, and rivers
confined into canals all tamper with the circulatory system of our
planet. Having interfered with the hydrological cycle, we reap
floods, droughts, and other extremes of weather.
Olaf Alexandersson in his book Living
Water introduces Schauberger's insight into river management,
water-fueled devices and energy. Its successor is the book by
Callum Coats, Living Energies, that could be the textbook for a
new eco-technology, to construct or encourage processes which
don't fight nature but instead work in harmony. Coats researched
for two decades into Schauberger's discoveries from forestry to
flood control to soil fertility and water purification.
Hydrologists could learn by reading this book how crucial the
small variations are in a river's temperature, and how water's
spinning motion recharges it with subtle energies.
Water Power without Dams
The naturalist's warning echoes across
the decades, "Prevailing technology uses the wrong form of
motions." Twentieth-century machines leave behind waste
products because their processes use the destructive half of
nature's creation/destruction cycle, the centrifugal outward
moving motions of heating, burning, pushing, radiating or
explosion. They channel air, water and fuels into the type of
motion which nature uses to decompose matter. Schauberger observed
that the centripetal inward-spiraling force is the creative,
cooling, sucking motion without friction, which results in
increased order instead of destruction. He applied his
understanding of cycloid spiral motion to a wide range of
inventions; methods that are in harmony with nature's creative
motion.
This "water magician" found
solutions for agriculture, for energy generation, as well as
transporting water in pipes that encourage the inward-spiraling
motion of water. Today's researchers follow and expand on
Schauberger's earlier knowledge. For instance, the Swedish Malmo
group use the phrase "self-organizing flow" to describe
what they are creating, since Schauberger's technology made use of
the natural orderliness spontaneously created by a system under
the correct conditions. Meanwhile, new energy-generating
processes, such as Randall Mills' Black Light Power, convert
ordinary water into hydrogen and oxygen. Paul Pantone of Utah runs
engines on water mixed with waste substances, and the air that
comes out the exhaust pipe won't dirty-a white handkerchief held
at the end of the pipe.
About a century ago, John Worrell Keely
figured out how to run a motor on the power of cavitation or
implosion, while alternately compressing and expanding water. He
harnessed that we dismiss as nuisance- the water hammer- in water
pipes. Dale Pond, researcher of Keely's physics, says that Keely's
Hydro-Vacuo motor created a water hammer shock wave which when
synchronized with the wave's echo, "results in Amplitude
Additive Synthesis, a process which tremendously increased energy
accumulations in quick order." Pond warns that this resonance
amplification is similar to the process, which breaks wine
glasses.
Liquid Memory, Do We Really Know
Water?
At Water-science conferences which this
journalist attended in recent years such as the one at Seniamhoo
Resort, WA, Nov. '98 (funded by Living Water International); a
privately funded '97 meeting in Los Angeles organized by Linda
McClain; and the Institute of Advanced Water Sciences (AWS)
symposium the previous year in Dallas, TX the one fact that
emerged was that water is not a single homogeneous product of
nature.
Water in living cells has unique
structure, and clusters of its molecules have organized
relationships. Another factor is what Schauberger called the
"immature taker" vs "life-giving mature"
water. Since water without minerals Is a relentless solvent, if we
could distill 100% of impurities out of a batch of water, it would
be dangerous to drink, leaching minerals from our bones.
Then there's the movement-vitality
factor. Stagnant bottled water, even though chemically clear, is
dead compared to water in the rushing brooks. But it has to be
proper movement. As water is pushed through cities in the
unnatural confines of metal pipes, its energetic oscillations
interfere, and the natural order in water's structure is
canceled.' How do we know this? For one, German engineer Theodor
Schwenk and his Institute for Flow Science developed a technique
for photographing the internal structure of water. In drops of
water taken near pristine springs, a symmetric rosetta pattern was
revealed. On the other hand, the internal structure of damaged
municipal water is-chaotic. Chemical contaminants and
electromagnetic pollution compound the damage and cause chaotic
clustering of water molecules. These meetings wrestled with
questions such as whether 'living water' is an organized state of
matter and energy, and capable of storing and transmitting
information. If so, the implications go beyond homeopathy and
'energy medicine" and into the interaction between water and
consciousness.
Dr. David Schweitzer, grandson of Albert
Schweitzer, is the first scientist to photograph the effects of
thoughts, captured in water. This shows that water can act as a
liquid memory system capable of storing information. David
Schweitzer first stepped into this trail by becoming an authority
on blood analysis. He learned that blood cells express themselves
in sacred geometry and their harmonious shapes and colors. Since
blood cells hang out in water, he looked farther into that
substance for answers about our thinking processes. After ten
years of observing blood, in 1996 he made the discovery which
opened the door to photographing the stored frequencies in
homeopathics and natural remedies and to researching the impact of
positive or negative thoughts on bodily fluids.
"Having studied the relationship
between the brain, cells and emotions," he told Joseph Duggan
in Vancouver, "I came to realize that certain trace elements
were needed to send information from one area of the brain to
another." Minerals alone could not convey information. To
find out if the carrier was water itself, Dr. Schweitzer
experimented. French scientist Jacques Benveniste had already shed
light on the memory of water in homeopathy. He and a dozen other
scientists demonstrated that water can retain a memory of
molecules it once contained. Nature magazine in 1988 published
their experiments showing that if water containing antibodies was
diluted repeatedly until it no longer contained a single molecule
of antibody, immune cells still respond to the water. The
publication drew outrage from orthodox professors, and the
magazine later sent a team to Benveniste's laboratory including
the magician James Randi and Walter Stewart, a self-appointed
investigator of scientific fraud. The team judged the French
scientists' results to be a "delusion." However, a
recent book by Michel Schiff says the slander of Benveniste was
the delusion.
Dr. Schweitzer says, aspects of the
homeopathic research couldn't be measured by the investigators'
instruments. The witch hunt in France didn't stop him from radical
thinking. He remembered Albert Einstein's idea that particulate
"light bodies" act in ways we don't yet understand.
Waking up one morning with insight on how to make these bodies
visible, Schweitzer began working on a fluorescent microscope at a
certain light intensity. He wanted to see somatids change in
response to thought and other influences. Just before the water on
the microscope slides evaporated, he saw certain formations
develop "dependent on the thoughts or energy atmosphere it
had been impregnated with." l observed that this cluster
could be modified at will." Further work showed that
microscopic light bodies in the water intensify in the presence of
positive thoughts. They shine brightly if thoughts are backed up
by emotion, and it makes a big difference whether the emotions are
negative or positive.
Intrigued by the tiny light-bodies, he
tested holy waters of religious faiths, from Italy, Russia,
Yugoslavia and North America and saw somatids floating even after
years of being bottled on shelves. "This means there is an
ideal balance when somatids never touch,' each other, which gives
them the greatest capacity to store information." But when he
studied homeopathic remedies, careful storage of energy medicine
is crucial. French immunologist Jacques Benveniste had learned
that electronic circuits can impress lasting information upon
water, and low-frequency electromagnetic radiation and heat
destroy homeopathic strength. Further, Dr. Schweitzer has a
warning about purified water we buy in clear plastic bottles that
have been exposed to fluorescent lighting. When we drink only this
water, our lips dry out and become chapped and cracked.
"Normally, drinking water does not dry out the mouth, but
fluorescent lighting changes the structure of water such that it
dries out the mucous membranes."
Randy Ziesenus, of Edmund, Oklahoma, says
anyone can personally improve the water they use. "It's
amazing what happens when you take a glass of water and hold it
between the palms of your hands and ask your higher Self to work
with that water and whatever you need for your highest good. And
then drink it; incredible what that little (ritual) does."
Ziesenus is president of Bio-Com, a company that specializes in
the development of biotechnology using radio-frequencies (RF) to
alter water's bonding structure. 'He says "if you drink water
that's harmonious to the human body, water will pass through the
body within ten to 15 minutes. Then you've got to go to the
restroom. The (harmonious) water will carry out toxins."
One of his inventions condenses water
from air." That's one of the biggest things I've been working
on by using frequencies to draw moisture out of air." He and
researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory are working on
" a program where you can take a photocell device, put it out
in the desert, and it will make a gallon of water overnight."
The unit is powered by photovoltaics (electricity from sunlight).
Ziesenus agrees with Dr. Scheitzer's claim that our AC electricity
leaves a harmful imprint on water.
William Tiller
At the Living Water conference, professor
emeritus William Tiller quietly obliterated the conventional view
that humans cannot meaningfully interact with their experiments,
"Conventional science would even more emphatically state that
specific human intentions could not be focused into a simple
electronic device, which is then used to meaningfully influence an
experiment in accord with the specific intention. We have made a
valid test and found conventional science conclusion to be in
serious error."
In his work Dr. Tiller describes the
people who are capable of sustaining high-coherence in intentions
as "imprinters." They, for example, sit around the table
while putting out the intention "to activate the indwelling
consciousness of the system" so that the pH of the
experimental, water increased or decreased significantly compared
to the control. It did. How does he explain this?
The theory used by Tiller and
co-researcher Walter Dibble, Jr., is multidimentional. These
scientists see water as a special material, "well suited for
information/energy transfer from this frequency domain into our
conventional domain of cognition, the physical." Regarding
the factor of mental capability of whether imprinters know enough
science to visualize changes in pH, Dr. Tiller said," the
unseen intelligence of the universe is an even more important
factor." Later he added," in my view it is the spark of
Spirit in the cells that give rise to the life force."
Another scientist at that meeting, Dr. Glen Rein, points out, that
physicists know about the existence of energy fields with
properties, which are not explained by classical equations. He
refers to the non-classical fields as quantum fields. Rein's work
again shows that this non-electromagnetic energy-information from
the primordial vacuum of space- can be stored in water and can
later communicate with living cells.
Perhaps Viktor Schauberger's most
startling observation was that subtle qualities of water can
affect humans mentally and spiritually, either revitalization or
deterioration of society. Dr. Thomas Narvaez has proven to his own
satisfaction that a vitality factor exists and can be increased or
decreased in water by human activity." We now see that our
thoughts not only affect our own bodies, but also the bodies of
those around us. Members of this group (speaking to the Institute
of Advanced Water Sciences, in 1996 ) who bottled water or who
worked with broadcasted energies like crystals or magnets
therefore have a responsibility to keep our view of the world
upbeat and positive."
