What’s Right about Water That We’re Not Getting?
Written by Stephen Outram
Water is often cast in a humble roll, a base ingredient that we add-to, but there is so much more to water than is acknowledged.
A documentary aired on Australian TV, featured severe eczema sufferer Genevieve Lim, who traveled half-way around the world to the tiny village of Avene in the south of France, to bathe-in, drink and be massaged-with ... water. She came away after 3-weeks with clear skin - a phenomenal change. What’s right about water that we’re not getting?
Science may explain the effect of this water by analyzing and describing its mineral content, crediting placebo or the effect of a compelling belief system; but it doesn’t really matter how. The fact is that water, from deep in the body of the planet, facilitates phenomenal and rapid change in people’s bodies; a wonderful gift from one body to another.
There is much written about water and its myriad uses; it’s present in most areas of our lives, including our bodies. Yet water is often cast in a humble roll, a base ingredient that we add-to. We add flavor to water to create our drinks and food; it’s used in industry as a transport or carrier, added to soil to grow crops, and we use water for cleaning and to flush away our waste. Water is amazing! What’s right about water that we’re not getting?
The greatest bodies of water on Earth are oceans; they touch and connect every major land mass. What we add, massively, to oceans is our waste and they carry that pollution efficiently all over the planet.
A larger-than-life example is located in the remote North Pacific Ocean; the Gyre, where a continent the size of Texas is formed, made up of our discarded plastic. There are half a dozen more of these in different oceans.
"There were shampoo caps and soap bottles and plastic bags and fishing floats as far as I could see. Here I was in the middle of the ocean, and there was nowhere I could go to avoid the plastic." Captain Charles Moore, discoverer of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Water will carry and be a catalyst for what is added to it, be that nurturing and healing as in Avene or massive pollution. At breakneck speed and with increasing volume we are polluting and water is losing its ability to nurture and heal, in fact, it struggles to be water. There are so few places now, where pristine water is even available. What’s right about water that we’re not getting?
Can you imagine what life would be like on Earth if its 326 million-trillion gallons of water, were all nurturing & healing?
While we can take our bodies to a clinic in France to nurture and heal them with pristine water, Earth does not have that choice. It simply receives everything we pollute-with and tries to change that into something else or store it somewhere like the North Pacific Gyre. As capable as water is, it has limits. When what we add to it reaches saturation, water becomes dense, solid and stagnant. In this changed state is can facilitate disease and death.
Ocean 300 is an organization acknowledging that we all are grand and glorious creators of the mess our water is in and asks the following question for all of us,
