Water is essential to life on Earth and priority of any civilization for settling down and expanding. The intelligent management of water and its logistics have always been an important factor for any human construction project to help water go new places.
Artificial waterways, rivers and currents have been used by human beings for millenia with a large degree of success, however the more we lose connection to our roots and to the actual knowledge about nature and our universe, the more we can witness water becoming increasingly scarce and of low energetic quality. We find less natural spirngs today and more and more "energetically dead water" bottled in plastic.
And as with many other fundamental topics we explore on this blog, would it be really surprising to you if I claimed that we are completely ignorant about what water actually is, how it relates to the nature of our universe and how we are deliberately quelling this most essential energy source on a daily basis out of sheer habit and our own indoctrination?
And as usual, most of the research has been long done but is never being talked about. We all love water, it's time we reconnected!
A forester said "wait a minute!"
Now fortunately with real scientists, there have always been the few who set out to do their own thing and opted to do actual in-the-field observations and experiments instead of relying on the convictions of their peers. One of these seldomly-sung heroes of science that most people have never heard about is Viktor Schauberger, a forest caretaker who lived in Austria until the middle of the 20th century.
Viktor started to focus on the dynamics of water and currents by observing fish swimming upstream effortlessly. Intrigued by the mountain streams he started to investigate currents and how these natural feats could be possible. Eventually Schauberger's research and inventions may deliver a profound insight into the nature of physicality, of energy transportation, as well as our own connection to this most essential element of life that surrounds us - water.
Where Schauberger successfully utilized river currents to float logs through difficult terrain in Austria initially, he later started to look at what actually constitutes a healthy river, how civilization has unwittingly started to destroy most aquatic environments it has 'interfered with' and how we can help nature flourish in a by its own preferences rather than blindly superimposing our limited modes of understanding by force.
But far from being a mere theoretical argument, Schaubergers findings could have major implications for all of us. There may be only few areas of inquiry that are so easily accessible and yet so underestimated and so well hidden (in plain sight) as the potential of water for the well-being of the ecosystems, for the beauty of nature's diverse environments and certainly for our human health.
It's all in the spin
Schauberger soon started to notice the importance of 'spin' to physicality, namely a characteristic of water that dictates the optimal path of least resistance through the environment and that can beworked with in marvellous ways to save huge amounts of energy, gain beneficial effects or to change the health of natural environments for the better - not through "correcting" the natural spin but rather through working with the natural spin of water. To build on it.
He started to understand that the current-dynamics of any river, the turbulences and differences in water level from one side to the next has major implications for all life in the environment. Not only that - these natural factors outright determine what goes on inside the water moreso than the actual water itself on a purely material and chemical level. Where we thought a bit of oil in the water would surely be more hazardous than making the river flow straight, we may start to doubt this assumption after digging deeper into what Schauberger actually found, proposed and eventually applied.
Among many other incredible breakthroughs, Schauberger has shown that water spins naturally when not hindered artifically (through pipes and channels), and that its inherent quality of spin successfully cleans water of impurities and solids, enriches its oxygen content through turbulence and transports nutrients where they need to be along the river.
Straight lines
As we will explore in an upcoming series on Alan Watts, there are ample hangups in the way human beings observe and interpret "reality" that come largely from our culture and upbringing. For one, straight lines are somehow desireable - streets are ideally laid out in a line to create the shortest route from point A to point B, the walls of our houses are straight just like the borders of the real estate the houses are built on.
So naturally, being part of the contemporary cult of materialism, straight lines do make a lot of sense, because anything is purely about distance and efficiency from a human-minded linear standpoint.
From nature's standpoint however this is a somewhat ridiculous notion, because it goes against the dictates of natural circumstances and observable behavior patterns in physicality that we find hard to grasp.
If you walk in a modern city and there's a river, chances are very high it is flowing in a straight line or "channel". Its banks are often fortified with straight lengthy surfaces like concrete walls and usually the river logically has the same depth everywhere as not to endanger boats and ships to hit their hull on anything.
And while this may sound totally plausible from a "rational" and materialistic perspective, it is highly questionable from a holistic perspective Schauberger has worked so much on to share with the world.
As experiments show clearly: Rivers do not flow in straight lines. They are naturally not made to do so, they can't be made to do so and when they are they will eventually spring back into a more wiggly form of existence - against all human efforts. Which means that straight rivers have to be maintained in a costly manner, similar to highways, where every once in a while things will need to be "repaired" because the effects of the water have slowly gnawed away at the banks over time.
Nature always takes back its realm - it's only a matter of when. Or, we could simply try to get with nature instead of continuously fighting it.
What do you mean "the river springs back into wiggly form of existence"?
Observations showed Schauberger that curvy (or meandering) river outlines naturally establish themselves because of water's inherent spin that dictates how the molecules move in relation to one another and how they interact with the river banks. As with any vortex, the spin has the potential to shape any other matter it comes in contact with through its sheer force. The water's spin also acts as sort of a natural logistics powerhouse where the water itself doesn't only shape the environment but also carries away the smallest particles it has engulfed.
Spin in rivers is highly necessarry in order to establish flourishing natural habitats for countless aquatic species. Water's spin will naturally alter the currents in different parts of the river, and will eventually start making the river depth uneven and hence optimal for breeding species and a variety of aquatic organisms in need of a diverse natural environment. If left unchanged rivers always meander their way through their environment all by themselves.
Rediscovering the spiral
But as Schauberger found out: Spinning water is not only essential for nature's well-being, energized water has major benefits for human beings as opposed to the "dead" water we get out of our taps and water faucets.
Our modern tapwater may be clean and high quality on the material level (in terms of the absence of flouride and other toxins) but when it comes to energetics our cilization's waters are dead. Why? Because our water doesn't flow, nor does it move in a natural spin pattern to stay energized before we drink it... it literally sits in straight pipes for days waiting to be drafted.
The flow of water has been broken, and so has the understanding for the nature of spin that water constantly tries to remind us of but that we have long seized to acknowledge.
Fortunately, Schauberger's work is here for us to and consider learn from, to learn about simple ways to reconnect with the cosmos and to possibly gain a tremendous understanding for the nature of things through this most overlooked "triviality" of life - water.
We will dive deeper into water-energetics and some of Schauberger's other work in the next two parts of this series where I will also share some videos that showcase Schauberger's extensive work.
For now I will leave you with a small preview of his work on implosion technologies that have never gotten much attention in the dogmatic world of academic science despite their enormous experimental potential to transform the way we live and relate to nature.
There's a lot more, but I had to start somewhere ;)
