make the force strong enough to create the need to utilize wetting agents in our gardens, and produce the surface tension that creates a meniscus in a glass, or that allow a water bug to skirt the surface of a lake. This phenomenon actually spawns an entire ecosystem of biological life, called a neuston. Liquid water molecules, through this hydrogen bonding, tend to clump together into structures called “microclusters.” There are literally limitless possibilities for the structure of these microclusters and there are many books written about them, that the ideal structure is hexagonal or pentagonal, but the truth is that anyone claiming a specific structure of water is selling snake oil, as there is not yet a human technology that will allow us to view individual water molecules. However, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that water must organize itself in deliberate ways to carry out its natural functions; consider the symmetry of a snowflake. A scientist in Japan, Dr. Masaru Emoto, has taken this idea a step further by providing factual evidence that human vibrational intention, through thoughts, words, ideas and music, affect the molecular structure of water. The results of his experiments show that positive words or melodies, such as ‘I love you’ or symphony music, produce a pure, clear water crystal; while negative words or hate music produce incoherent structures in corresponding crystals from the same water source. This resonance between life and pure intentions is also rooted in the idea of talking or playing music to plants, documented in the books Secrets of the Soil and The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. We’ve only just begun to scrape the surface of how dynamic water truly is. Part two in this series will elaborate on these concepts, with a focus on aquaporins and the way in which water desires the vortexial form and how this is evidenced in nature.
