Hello to one and all,
Chris, Geoff, Hadi, Carol, thank you for the research on the anamolies in the properties and sub-atomic composition
of water, the wonder liquid, the sustainer of lakes, rivers and the seas with so many life forms, here on earth
and God knows, where else in space!
It's amazing how a seemingly simple thing can become so technical and difficult to understand when the scientific lingua is brought to bear
on it. I think it sounds like some kind of elitism or knowledge/insight possessed by a lucky few - I don't mean in a pejorative sense. How is a common person to understand
it? There must be another way to show that water has these unusual qualities, like, "so that forms of life swim and live . . ., in an experiential way, in a way
it relates to an evolutionary plus, enabler, enhancer, nurturer of life like the eternal feminine that draws us on . . . .
Chris, the site you sent us to . . . mindboggling! Thanx.
I now realize I asked the wrong question in the first place!
In passing
I am also immensely puzzled by how people quote from books they have read, or authors whose
wisdom has impressed them in some way.
Can we express our own original? ideas based on real experiences/realizations etc.? Because when one quotes, the 'words' become literal and devoid of the force of the personal feeling
which makes them alive and potent.
Pardon my ignorance.
What is 'love'? Everyone quotes, writes and elaborates its virtues. Can someone explain the phenomenon to me?
Is it: 'I love a hamburger'.
Or is it: 'Sweetheart, I love you so much; let's go to bed and celebrate".
Or is it: 'Soulmate, I love you so much that I'm not going to touch you but draw inspiration from your
ambience to grow and prosper.'
Or is it an unattached dispassionate feeling emanating from the heart, touching and bonding with every object, thing, entity and concept like
'time' and 'space' around me?
Which one is it? Is it subjective or objective? All of the above or none of the above?
Please no quotes; your very own perceptions that make you 'you'.
Does everyone have it or only the privileged few? The chosen few?
How does one acquire this marvellous virtue?
Do lookin on:(and bask in the glow)

May this 'love' prevail upon you soon!

Cecile,
I was thinking about your question of "why" ... then I was reading Conversations With God and I thought you might like this little passage:
Let's start here. The soul - your soul - knows all there is to know all the time. There's nothing hidden to it, nothing unknown. Yet knowing is not enough. The soul seeks to experience.
You can know yourself to be generous, but unless you do something which displays generosity, you have nothing but a concept. You can know yourself to be kind, but unless you do someone a kindness, you have nothing but an idea about yourself.
It is your soul's desire to turn its grandest concept about itself into its greatest experience. Until concept becomes experience, all there is is speculation. I have been speculating about Myself for a long time. Longer than you and I could collectively remember. Longer than the age of ths universe times the age of the universe. You see, then, how young is - how young is - My experience of Myself.
