Water is the single most important substance for life on this planet. Without water, no life would be possible. Water is so important, it is everywhere, wherever you look on this planet. It is in the atmosphere as humidity, clouds or rain, it is in the Earth’s crust within the rock and soil fabric, and it is in every living being, animal or plant. Humans are made up of over 70% water. Ancient cultures and civilisations had great respect for water and worshipped this "life substance" which they often equated with life force and surrounded with myths and legends. These people knew the vital importance of water. Today, people in the developed world take water largely for granted and treat it as a low cost commodity rather than the priceless elixir it is. Apart for drinking purposes it is used for the disposal and transport of wastes, washing, cooling, heating and a multitude of industrial processes. The pollution of our planet through careless and greedy use (or, should we say, misuse) of its mineral resources has brought about the inevitable pollution of water, inevitable because water is everywhere. |
Our environmental dilemma boils down to attitude. The Native American Chief Seattle once said: "The white man believes that the Earth belongs to him, we believe that man belongs to the Earth". We think this says it all.
Once, science comprised the spiritual sciences of Alchemy and Metaphysics and sought an holistic understanding of nature. With the taking of the industrial path some 200 years ago, the spiritual enquiry was neglected by the mainstream scientific establishment in favour of a purely materialistic and rational understanding of natural and technological processes.
In the
industrialised world of today, aqua vivens (=‘living’, energetically
charged water) is a rarity. In our drinking water supply systems, water
is exposed to the detrimental energetic effects of straight unnatural
water pipes, high mains pressures and chemical treatments. Water is not
allowed to move in its naturally winding way thereby causing loss of
life force. Negative energetic imprints from chemicals, such as
fertilisers, pesticides and sterilisers remain in the water, even after
physical removal of such substances (Ludwig, 1991).
The natural world, which we are a part of, moves in a spiralling fashion. This is particularly obvious in shellfish, snails, antelope horns, pine cones and climbing plants such as clematis and ivy. In a more subtle way, all plants grow in a spiralling fashion always turning to face the sun. The DNA of all organisms forms a double helix spiral. Water flowing in a natural meandering river system forms whirls and eddies and never follows a straight path, and like all free falling objects, rain drops too, fall in a subtly spiralling motion.
This spiralling motion allows all life forms to become energetically charged and enables life on this planet to exist and evolve.
