In our modern world, most people, as long as they have enough of it, give little thought to water. In the West, even people who do think about water tend simply to question the quality of municipal water supplies, or perhaps to see water as a substance we should probably drink more of.
When we hear that the Earth's water supply may be dwindling dangerously, we find this concept hard to relate to. When the idea tries to come forward that there may be a greater importance to water than we have ever believed, it is "drowned out" by our media.For the most part, for example, there is little media support for the idea that we should drink water itself for our health. Television ads keep telling us that this or that new, commercialized liquid will make us healthy.And we watch acceptingly as millions of dollars are spent each year suggesting that we drink the milk of animals. Yet it scarcely occurs to us to question the fact that no one spends money talking about ordinary old water.
Why should they? How could something as commonplace as water be important?
Water Is Life
NASA, in its search for life on other planets, accepts without question that water is the first requirement. Without water, there can be no life. It's clear, also, that where there is rain there is life, and that where rain does not fall, there is a desert.Clearly, life here has evolved on a planet where two-thirds of the surface area is covered with water. We look out over our oceans, and water fills our unrestrained view as far as the eye can see.Our own bodies reflect a similar proportion. Approximately 60 percent of our physical bodies are made up of water (in newborns, it's 80 percent).Perhaps it is just because there is so much water in our reality that we have taken it for granted, thinking it is "only water."
A Sacred View of Water
In its very first sentence, according to the book of Genesis: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."These sentences deeply imply that early people believed that water was a prerequisite for life even to begin on Earth.And both the ancient Egyptians and the Christians linked water to spirituality and consciousness. Both used baptism with water to wash away sins and prepare the initiate for higher consciousness. In ancient times, the initiate was actually submerged in water.
The Druids of Europe and the Shintos of Japan believed that bodies of water, small and large, were openings to the inner worlds of the Earth, and thus considered them sacred and holy.In fact, all over the ancient world water was looked upon as sacred. The Christians blessed themselves in the sign of the cross with holy water as they entered their churches. The Shintos washed their hands and arms up to the elbows with holy water to purify their spirits before entering the sacred places of nature that were their churches. Religious and native peoples worldwide use water to purify themselves before beginning religious ceremonies.And in recent times, it was discovered that the water molecule itself, with its angle of 105 degrees, was in the Golden Mean ratio, a basic proportion in Sacred Geometry. This proportion in itself implies that water has a special place in Creation.
A Scientific View
Most of us assume that if water were purified there would be nothing left but molecules of H2O. But this is absolutely not true. What modern scientists have discovered with their advanced instruments is that no matter how "pure" it is, there are many different kinds of water.All water simply is not the same. A vast array of factors change water so that it exhibits different characteristics, varying according to the types of changes that have been made.An example of these kinds of changes is what happens to water that has flowed through the pipes we use to distribute our municipal water supplies.When it runs in streams, water naturally rotates in vortexes. This vortex motion is what water "wants" to do. As you see water move down the drain, you will notice that it naturally forms a rotating vortex — counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern.
And this motion of water has vast implications to the "structure" of the water itself.The great scientist Viktor Schauberger was the first to demonstrate what happens to water when we pump it through pipes under pressure. Coming out of the ground, Schauberger said, water is "living." It contains an extra electron in the outer ring, and it is the vortex of naturally moving water that creates this structure.But when pushed through a pipe, although it wants to move in a vortex, water is forced into a circular motion, and this circular movement strips the outer electrons off the water molecule, creating what's called "unstructured" water. It's still hydrogen and oxygen, but it lacks a specific electrical charge. The scientific study demonstrated the role of unstructured water plays in human disease. This study showed that healthy cells are always surrounded by structured water — water with its outer electrons intact — and that diseased cells are always surrounded by unstructured water.
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
Is our usage of water creating insidious problems. Will it eventually cause widespread disease? Time will tell, but it's possible that this effect has already happened. It's possible, for example, that our water consumption is related to the current epidemic of chronic, degenerative diseases that is being experienced in so-called "advanced" societies. It's even possible, as some of our sources for this issue believe, that the water we drink is related to the fact that cancer, once an anomaly, is now one of our most deadly killers.Today, we understand the lethal implications of the Romans' use of lead. Could it be that we will someday similarly accept that our old habit of drinking chlorinated water from pressurized pipes was equally devastating? The point is not that we should get rid of our pipes, but simply that the properties of water, whether they are altered by humans or by nature, are greatly varying, and in ways that may have both positive and negative implications for our health and well being.
