On a highway journey by way of Norway a few summers in the past the sheer variety of lakes we drove previous, over, underneath and thru was breathtaking. An countless succession of limpid candy water swimming pools, some huge, others petite, some with inexplicable houses in the course of them, many with elks and moose consuming at their banks. I couldn’t assist however consider the unfairness of world water distribution; a lot all the way in which up there, so clear and pure and but in different components of the world there may be nearly none and what little there may be of it’s soiled, diseased and unsafe, in so many locations the place the cursed ‘backside billion’ reside, or do their greatest to take action.
This 12 months World Water Day places the concentrate on the connection between water and the creation of power, clear protected power just like the Norwegians produce, (for instance most of their electrical energy comes from hydropower) in a bid to enhance well being and environmental requirements and make the lives of these billion higher, habitable.
Water is certainly life, and there are even those that maintain that it’s actually alive. A Japanese man by the title of Masaru Emoto, a Physician of Various Medication is a type of and he claims that water is conscious of kindness and cruelty identical to all residing issues are – individuals, animals, water…. He’ll for instance say pretty issues to a glass or beaker of water, play Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Corelli to it or name it names and shout unfavourable phrases like demise or struggle at it. He then freezes drops of water from the beakers and the following snowflakes which are shaped are both crystal clear and superbly formed when gently spoken to or fragmented and soiled when subjected to harsh phrases and emotions; apparently. (He refuses to copy his water freezing experiments in entrance of a scientific group…)
The roots of his idea lie in an historic Japanese faculty of thought known as “Kotodama” or roughly translated – the therapeutic energy of phrases. So right here’s an anecdote:
Lake Biwa is a big, polluted freshwater lake within the space the place Dr. Emoto lives that can be stricken by algae that rots and turns foul smelling, 12 months in 12 months out. One current summer time Emoto and a bunch of 300 or so individuals gathered on the lake’s shores and principally mentioned good issues to it in a form of prayer ceremony.
Locals and revered nationwide newspapers a number of months later famous that Lake Biwa was now not foul smelling…
It’d be good to suppose that the ‘backside billion’ may very well be helped by Kotodama, that every one it will take are a number of good phrases and goodbye cholera and typhoid; hmmm…
That mentioned whether or not by way of the esoteric or the concrete, clear, protected water for all of humanity is an crucial should, and a non-negotiable prerogative, so please help:
