It's hard to talk about water, if you're not watching or listening to it, but lots of people have tried...
Viktor Schauberger tried to tell the German people how and why they needed to protect their waterways. He pointed out that water has its own amazing mechanisms for cooling itself and maintaining its ability to carry materials. He explained the concept of implosion as a source of life-giving energy instead of explosive energies used to power society. His mystical connection to water left him speaking in a language that was hard to understand.
Rudolf Steiner, with his own mysterious language, described how water could harness subtle energies and taught farmers to stir fertility materials into water by standing over it for an hour, creating and collapsing vortexes. Too often, the neighbors were not impressed.
Theodor Schwenk coined the term Sensitive Chaos for water and detailed the presence of spiral movement all around us in nature. He developed ways to reveal the inner flower-like nature of water with the drop-picture method and founded the Institute for Flow Sciences.
Callum Coats made it his life's work to translate the papers of Viktor Schauberger into English and find a wider audience for them.
Jennifer Greene has worked to reveal the amazing nature of water through years of presenting water as a phenomenon unto itself, in public displays and through the Water Research Institute of Blue Hill.
Masaru Emoto developed a method of photographing water at the instant it freezes to reveal how it is influenced by human thought. His books about Messages from the Water have made water's hidden nature visible in startling and of course controversial new ways.
Taken together all these pioneers (and many others who have built on their work) present an enormous body of evidence that water is something truly profound and needing to be treated in more intelligent ways. Still, public perception has changed little because so few of us have the opportunity to learn about water in the company of water, even though it is always with us.
My challenge is to add a little more to the body of knowledge about water and to spread the ideas of these pioneers. I propose that water is the best model for the flow of information. If we desire to change any system, an understanding of how water and information flow by the same paths may help us in our quest.
