Nature As Teacher: How I Discovered New Principles in the Working of Nature (Eco-Technology Series) [Paperback]

Viktor Schauberger (Author)

Book Description

Series: Eco-Technology Series | Publication Date: November 1998

"Today we are standing helpless and perplexed. With no glimmer of improvement anywhere in sight, we feel hopelessly propelled towards a forlorn future. It is understandable therefore that an increasing number of people, sick and tired of this insane activity, are now seeking ways to return to Mother Nature." - Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) Viktor Schauberger was one of the first genuine environmentalists. In the 1930s he was predicting ecological catastrophe when no one else could see it coming. Schauberger is now being proved right. He foresaw: - Global warming and its devastating consequences. - Increasing violence and lawlessness as the direct result of destructive methods which block Nature's energies and balance. - The destruction of the world's forests and ecosystems. This, and the fact that he developed free energy machines through harnessing the magical processes of nature, has made Viktor Schauberger truly a man of our times. Following the success of 'The Water Wizard' (Vol I in the Eco-Technology series), 'Nature as Teacher' details Schauberger's thinking about environmental catastrophe. It includes correspondence with contemporaries and, in particular, his feelings of frustration at the blindness of those in mainstream science who seemed to him to be more concerned with their own welfare and their pride than with the fate of humanity. This volume gives tremendous insight into what is happening on the Earth today and presents practical solutions on how we may yet save our precious world. Most telling is Schauberger's elucidation of the vital natural cycles that modern unthinking technologies have interrupted and harmed, sometimes irreparably.

This review is from: Nature As Teacher: How I Discovered New Principles in the Working of Nature (Eco-Technology Series) (Paperback)

I had to use a title from one of the books' opening chapters. This book is going to annoy some people. Callum Coats presents Viktor Schuaberger's theories in a modern light. The laws of Nature, Questions for Science, Nature as Teacher, the fish-eagle, the swing, the trout, the ox, dancing logs and stones, the Genesis of water, the coming bio-technical age, the secret of the egg form...these are elucidated...then comes the fun stuff... the age-old secret of the atom, implosive breathing, life-force and animated breathing, is there perpetual motion (?), organic syntheses, the false world view, the mechanical equivelant of heat, plasmolytic motion; this volume gives tremendous insight into what is happening in the world, today, and practical solutions on HOW we may yet save our world. Most telling is Schauberger's innane gut feelings on the powers at work in the environment, and living water. Hey, it's only volume two of the series. Get all four, and see how these books will influence YOU to change the way we look at the earth.

If you have made it until here, buy the book.

It is not for everyone. Some people, especially technocrats may be annoyed by its contents.

Victor describes his experiences with nature and how he gained his knowledge about water, levitation and many other things.

His insights go well beyond the boundaries of contemporary science, because they deal in the realm of the higher worlds. I would recommend anyone who wants to understand Victors writings to read Steiner's "How to know higher worlds".

Victor describes the technology of the higher worlds.

These are not books, that you can consume. They will transform you. It may happen that you read and then put them aside for 10 years or so. But you WILL come back to them, because they teach you the deepest truth.

I give this a top rank. Its great.

This should be required reading for anyone studying any type of science. Anyone studying engineering should read this- it will probably make you feel stupid, but ultimately it will give a direction to pursue your field in a way that does not destroy the planet- though it will destroy the compromised and demoralized status quo if followed. Before all else, seek understanding.
