that's quick work chadking, I knew you'd relate to it. yes the coolness is the key(4 degrees C, 39 degrees F, the point at which water is at its densest, the anomaly point, the unique property of water as oppose to all other liquids, which become denser as they get cooler), the spring water once breaking the surface is charged with life imbuing properties. similarly, the drop of dew forming on a blade of grass at dawn is what victor calls 'first born', and is like a protoplasm that gradually through infusion with the suns indirect rays is endowed with ur-form (prototype), body and soul. (the foundation stone for new life.).
with the trout, victor is relating how it can remain stationary in a cold fast flowing stream, and then all of a sudden dart up stream, also he says he has observed trout up stream of high waterfalls, so how did they get there? in short he is telling us of a phenomena where there is a opposing levitative force that exists in a naturalesquely flowing mountain stream that literally sucks the fish up its wake, and it has everything to do with the source/quality of the water. man made channels, and turbines etc obliterate this 'living' force of the water. plants and trees he maintains produce a similar effect in terms of drawing their sap up. (if you don't believe in levitation, just come to NZ, and check out the Te Matua Ngahere Kauri tree).
lastly, about our technology; the other day I was thinking about the saying necessity is the mother of invention', but what we call invention in many cases, I would argue to be regurgitation. The same chapter in shaubergers book a little later on (pp83.), says it better that I can myself:
"So called 'savages' puncture plants to slake their thirsts (or maybe partake of the freshly emerged spring) with this exceptionally wholesome water, thus (by and by) becoming so intuitive or receptive towards external influences that they become spiritually aware. Understanding how to make use of this supposed wonder, they stand far above civilized people, who are led astray by relying solely on their speculative talents. As a result, these poor-in-spirit, greedy little misers become more and more spiritually sluggish, utterly ordinary speculators and ponderers, who are incapable of understanding highly intuitive people. Indeed they view such advanced thinkers as madmen. In actual fact the spiritual dimwits are the real 'lunatics', having created a fool's paradise of ours in which we can just about manage to vegetate. In our degenerative way of working, we not only devalue our food but also saw off the very branch of Life on which we sit. of itself......"
n.b. brackets are my words.
People today simply don't consider that ancient people might not have thought like we do and because
of this give no notice to the obvious differences far less the subtle ones. In the case of the Egyptians,
they lived in a desert and nowhere would it be more obvious to people that water is life. This simply per-
meated the entire culture and was the basis of the entire economy yet it is interpreted out of everything
that actually survives. People would see that everywhere water existed in the desert there was life and
it hardly existed elsewhere. Ancient people must have been highly intuitive and would have trained them-
selves to be intuitive in a world that lacked computers and specialization. Much of the ability to intuit lies
in the ability to process information logically. This says point blank they wouldn't have accomplished great
feats through magic and religion but understanding and knowledge. Why wouldn't they have made the
same observations that Shauberger and many others have made? They lacked the materials and tech-
nology to build large dams or power plants but this doesn't mean they didn't have other knowledge and
the technology that can be derived from that technology.
The problem with our technology is that we don't comprehend it and have lost sight of even what it means
to be human. We create stupendous waste and add that tothe GDP where it should be subtracted. We
manage huge mountains of debt that are also added to the GDP which should be subtracted. A massive
accident with numerous fatalities creates lots of money in the medical and legal system and the nation grows
"wealthier". Meanwhile most of the actual work being done is done by "illegal" aliens who can't even peti-
tion for a fair wage and have no vote. Rather than examine the results of what we are doing we simply
add more red tape and more machinery.
Rather than human curiousity driving science it's now a search for new ways to kill more people at lower
cost. Rather than doing what needs to be done or taking care of problems everything now has to be "man-
aged". Huge problems fester and spread because it is more rewarding to more people to study them or
to paper them over than it is to just fix them. We waste far more than we consume while most people live
in poverty or in quiet desparation. This isn't caused by technology but by its misuse and our inability to
understand it. If we doubled the net worth of the world today no one would be better off because they'd
just find a way to throw it away.
These were not problems the ancients faced.
