Guru Purnima, full Moon, water
and science
Light and Love
This mail is about the same topic but from some other point
of view.
Swami tells:
"This material objective world is what becomes visible to
our eyes, what pleases our senses, what fascinates our minds and
what informs our brain. But in and through this very world,
there is one reachable non-material subjective world. When that
is known, both worlds reveal themselves as partial expressions
of the same indivisible Consciousness (Chaithanya). The two
supplement each other into the One Fullness, (Poornam). From the
Parabrahma, (the Full) the Jiva (the Individual, that is the
Complement) arises. When the Jiva sheds the material corpus in
which it is encased, the eternal Universal Consciousness is
again the One Fullness, the Parabrahma Principle." (Bhagawan
Sathya Sai Baba. Vidya Vahini, Chapter I, p. 3).
Time of full Moon when the Sun is in Cancer (Crab) by
ancients saints is time of fertility, growth, transformation,
fulfillment, love, power, maximum psychic ability. It is time
when a person's inner light goes further and accept the tasks on
the path towards to the Divine.
By Hercules at that time, a mortal comes in contact with
universal reason, (Universal Consciousness by Swami).
"On the day after Ekâdasi when the Sravana Star* appears,
at a day called Vyatipâta, one should recite it to a receptive
audience, taking shelter of the Lotusfeet of the Refuge of the
Seeker, without desiring remuneration; then one will find ones
mind pacified by the soul and will one thus become perfect. It
is the knowledge to the ones unaware of the reality; he who
imparts it is on the path of truth and immortality and as the
kind protector of the seekers he will be blessed by the gods."
(Srimad Bhagavatam by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa. Translation: A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and others. Canto 4, Chapter
12). (*Sravana Star - Moon).
Moonlight is the same sunlight, only reflected from its
surface.
Full Moon’s reflection is more powerful. The modern science
discovered (to Vedic saints it was known thousands years before)
that reflected light has not exactly the same influence to the
living organisms
(including human beings) as direct light.
It is known that in full Moon the mentality, mind of human
beings will
become more open to both: good and evil influences... All
depends on a
scale of human values. Guru Purnima is full of ritual
ceremonies, chanting
of sacred texts, which help the person to harmonize with rhythms
of a nature
and to develop control over mind. In full Moon activity of
animals, plants, viruses are activated. It is supposed that the
reason is the increased gravitation between the Earth, the Moon
and the Sun and the influence of reflected moonlight to the
Earth's biosphere.
Scientific discoveries, observations and hypotheses show
that the full Moon and water are closely entwined. Ancient
saints knew it and holy celebrations were performed in purpose
to connect humans closer to nature of their own reality.
Everyone knows tides. Tides produce by the gravitational
attraction of the Moon and the Sun. Tides exist also in large
lakes, the atmosphere, and within the solid crust of the earth,
however, to a much smaller extent. The range of the tides at any
location is subject to many variable factors. Mainly the
gravitational forces of both the Moon and the Sun act upon the
waters of the Earth.
When the Moon is full the gravitational attractions of the
Moon and the Sun act to reinforce each other. The combined tidal
force is also increased.
At full Moon the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are lined up,
resulting in higher tides than usual. The influence of the full
Moon is always accompanied by the additional influence of the
Sun.
The earth's surface has 80 percent water the human body
consists in more than 75% water.
It is water what is sensitive not only to high or low tides
but also to the smallest micro influences on the sub molecular
level.
By scientific discoveries water is a liquid crystal,
consists in clusters. Surface of water (World Ocean) may
consider, as is a huge liquid crystal.
Water is one of the most mysterious and power-intensive
substances in a nature. Water cluster has huge information what
is invisible, but the actions caused by it are quite visible.
Scientific researches of last years have confirmed in a water
drop a number of 'subtle' properties.
Oceans, rivers, whatever water sources contain the information
from ancient times... Is it the reason why Vedic saints called
Ganga a Great Sacred River and many rituals are connected with
water?
(Today several scientists understand that attention of
science would gradually start to be displaced aside knowledge of
a spiritual world. A person is theoretically capable to get
knowledge whence it can is necessary in a
space-time range or ...beyond it when he obtained atmic
Consciousness).
Water is the substance with several tens anomalies. Many of
them arise from the nature of the hydrogen bond. Behavior of
water is pictorially under control of the hydrogen bond network.
There exist intermittent collective molecular motions,
influences associated with the rearrangement caused by the
hydrogen bonds under strong or extremely week inner or outer
influences.
Life on the Earth depends on
the unusual structure and anomalous nature of water. Life in DNA
form consists as a rule mostly of water. Adult human's body
consists in about 3/4 from water. Child's body consists in water
significantly more.
By modern science, (extremely)
weak processes, which take place in
different water solutions or in relatively pure water influence
to the water (ice, water vapor) properties. For observation
these intermittent collective motions in water the method of
highly non-linear spectroscopy is developed.
Water molecule is practically never H2O. This formula is
only for a single molecule in a huge water cluster.
The lower water clusters can enlarge and to form highly
symmetric 280-molecule icosahedral water clusters. Water is as a
network of icosahedral water clusters what can dynamically form
continuous networks of open, low-density and condensed
structures.
(The minimum number of possible arrangements of hydrogen
bonds in the
fully occupied low-density icosahedral network is more than 150
thousand. A fluctuating network of water molecules, with
localized and overlapping icosahedral symmetry, was first
proposed in 1998 and independently found, by X-ray diffraction,
in water nanodrops on 2001).
The icosahedral water cluster
has a highly symmetrical and beautiful structure. By this
structure can explain processes in aqueous solutions, dilution
effect in homeopathy, effect of music, prayer, sound recently
discovered by Dr Emoto.
The properties of water also
depend on which materials water is in contact. There was no pure
water in a nature: even ice is a poor solvent.
Sweet taste of sugar depends on the presence of water
clusters in glass of tea or in saliva, when one eats sweet
candy.
All metabolisms in organisms occurs thanking water
clusters, which are transmitters of different kind information
in organisms and in a nature.
In liquids, the molecules are in constant transformable
motion. Water structuring may change over a periods of time at
least 1016 times greater than the lifetime of a single hydrogen
bond. (The data obtained by X-ray and neutron diffraction).
As the hydrogen bonding flickers between arrangements, the
stability of the expanded water dodecahedra will vary and has
infinite number of arrangements.
In water are always present dissolved gases and may have
important and varying effects. They may be responsible for
different strange effects such as free radical production in
electromagnetic fields; changes of gravitational forces, as it
take place at full Moon.
All kind of vibrations
(energetic fields) and materials be they greatly diluted
liquids, solids or gases leave their 'patterns' on the structure
of water. The information that is in a drop of water can to be
transferred to the water in a huge jar (several cubic meters)
where this drop has added.
Some researchers behold water as one of the forms of the
Platonic solids, which structure reflects law of Golden Mean -
universal law as a witness/carrier of Atmic Oneness.
Plato assumed the five basic elements with basic
structures. The shapes of tetrahedron - fire, cube - earth,
octahedron - air, dodecahedron - universe (ether), icosahedron -
water.
Plato thousands years ago compared liquid structure in
general to icosahedra as spherical atoms and molecules. The
importance of five
basic elements in the universe (as pinpointers to the unity in
diversity) seams to be the topic of rediscovery by modern
science.
On recent years, the special sensitivity of water has
received a scientific proof by Japanese scientist Dr Masaru
Emoto Yokohama (born 1943). He is the head of the I.H.M.General
Research Institute Inc., the President of I.H.M.Inc.and the
chief representative of I.H.M.'s HADO Fellowship. Dr Emoto was
introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and
Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. He has written several
books. One of them "The Message from Water" Vol.1 and 2 is
translated into many languages.
There is no need to retell his experiments, how different
sounds, (vibrations) and probably thoughts have an influence to
the structure of water clusters. It is possible to read at Dr.
Masaru Emoto's homepage is:
http://www.masaru-emoto.net/. One can enjoy the results of
Emoto's experiments pictorially also at the site:
http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm.
(Both sites are not used as references. It is the additional
information).
The photos of the last site are as evident to the real
influence of prayer and faith to the clusters of water in
human's body.
Therefore, not only the ocean with different outer/inner
influences is mystery but also a human's body what contain the
same sensitive water clusters in different conditions, the
essence of the influence is the same.
Swami tells:
"The ocean is a vast mystery. It is boundless and as old as
time. It had, in its womb, chaotic whirlpools, raging currents,
and it has a face with furious moods. No one can hope to sail
over it from one shore to another land-bank, without a sturdy
reliable boat. So too, man requires the sturdy boat of divine
grace to cross the raging ocean of this Samsaara (ever-changing,
ever agitated flow of life). This ocean too is vast and full of
mystery.
To equip oneself with the ocean-worthy boat of grace, one
has to develop in himself the qualities of faith and discipline.
One has to clarify and purify the Chiththa (past impressions).
Contemplating the glories of God, discovering His presence in
beauty, goodness and truth seen anywhere, meditating on His
form, repeating His name - by these means the process can be
made successful." (Excerpts from Discourse of Bhagawan Sathya
Sai Baba. "Body without Heart." 15 Nov 1973 Prasanthi Nilayam).
PS: Dr Masaru Emoto's seminar "World Day of Love and
Thanks to Water" is on 25 July 2004 (14:00 - 17:00) at Public
Hall in Eschen, Liechtenstein.
