Alick Bartholomew

Once held sacred the world over, water contains a wisdom few today acknowledge. Drving everthing from our metabolic processes to weather patterns and climate change, its real significance lies in its role as a medium for metamorphosis, recycling, and exchanging energy and information.

Seeking a return to our ancestors' reverence for water, Alick Bartholomew explores water's sacred uses, its role in our bodies and envrionment, and the latest scientific studies to reveal that water is a conscious organism that is self-creating and self-organizing. Examining new discoveries in quantum biology, he shows how water binds all of life into one vast network of energy, allowing instant communication and coherence. Covering the research of water visionaries such as Viktor Schauberger, Mae-Wan Ho, and Masaru Emoto, he examines the memory of water and reveals how the same water has been cycling through Earth's history since the dawn of time, making water nature's greatest recycling and reclaiming agent. With information on the enrgetics of water, water treatments, finding the best-quality water, and the perils of bottled and distilled water, this book offers us a path to reclaim the spirituality of water.

Alick Bartholomew studied geology and geography at the University of Cambridge and University of Chicago. He was part of the editorial team that in 1962 published Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. In 1971 he founded Turnstone Press, publihser of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, with a vision to reconcile science with a spiritual view of the world. The author of several books, including Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger, he lives near Bath, England.

El agua da forma a nuestros paisajes, sustenta la vida en la Tierra, influye en nuestras emociones. Pero no la valoramos porque damos por descontado que seguirá accesible y que no esconde nada. Estudiar el agua se convirtió para el autor en una profunda búsqueda personal, hasta lograr abarcar en un libro todo sobre este elemento imprescindible. Desde cómo aparece, a la sutileza y complejidad de sus funciones; cómo forma parte del sistema solar y de nuestro cuerpo, de las plantas; cómo la percibimos, aunque ignoramos hasta qué punto rompe las leyes físicas; cómo actúa, cómo es sensible y tiene memoria. Resume incluso nuevas investigaciones cuánticas, según las cuales el agua es el medio de comunicación dentro de los organismos, entre ellos y con el entorno. Descuidándola, nuestros recursos merman y sin embargo, el agua puede ayudarnos a cambiar, es crucial: está en el punto en que nuestros caminos como seres humanos pueden ir hacia el cambio o hacia la destrucción. Solo si entendemos la verdadera función del agua en la Naturaleza podremos comenzar a vivir de manera responsable y perdurable.… (plus d'informations)
