Living Energies: An Exposition of Concepts Related to the Theories of Viktor Schauberger (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Why are so many species of plant and animal disappearing? How is it that Earth is losing more fresh water than it is producing? What are the effects of chlorination and fluoridation of water? The answers to these and many more pressing environmental questions are to be found in this remarkable book - the first in-depth examination of the life and work of the brilliant forester, scientist and pioneering inventor, Viktor Schauberger. Schauberger's insights into Nature pivoted on the essential characteristics of water as a living and pulsating substance that energises all of life, both organic and inorganic. He frequently asserted, "Water is a living substance!" - an ideal to which many philosophers have subscribed. With his ground-breaking concepts on energy, biomagnetism and the true function of trees, he showed how a world that exploited its resources rather than cherishing them was doomed to destroy itself. Above all, he demonstrated how Nature's abundance is the result of a complex interaction of energies that actually create matter, not the other way around as orthodox science believes. For him energy was primary, and physical form the secondary effect.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Schauberger books!, January 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Living Energies : An Exposition of Concepts Related to the Theories of Viktor Schauberger (Paperback)

I have most of the books based on Victor Schauberger's theories about water and energy which I connected to after having some profound spiritual experiences with water and wanted to know what the unexpressed potential might be with water, living energy and knowledge and the transmission of knowledge through water particles and vibrations....if you are looking for a very, very, practical and powerfully insightful book, on the scientific understanding of the true importance of water on all levels, and how energy REALLY works through FLOW...this is THE book to read and learn from and also learn how to observe and gain additional insights from what you are seeing. The books edited by Collum Coats I find to be more readable...this is not light and fluffy stuff... Enjoy! I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars IF you only buy one Schauberger book - get this one!, November 24, 2002

By	Frank D. Germano (Lake Wallenpaupack, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have every book written by Callum Coats on the Schauberger subject. This book, if you only buy one of them, is the definative book to get. I would basically call it a complet Schauberger reference work, as it contains all of the material that will later be expanded in the "Eco-Technology" series - which contain more thorough descriptions of Viktor's work. This book is great on its own, however, and will not dissapoint anyone interested in learning more about the "water wizard" - Viktor Schauberger. I highly recommend this book as a great starting point for study on everything from understanding the vortex, implosion technology, water-power in general, Schauberger's inventions, his forestry upbringing, and as a general biography, this book can't be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living Energies, May 23, 2001

By	Frank D. Germano (Lake Wallenpaupack, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Living Energies : An Exposition of Concepts Related to the Theories of Viktor Schauberger (Paperback)

This book started it all! Callum Coats basically brought to "light" the resurgence of interest in Viktor Schauberger's theories. This is truly a brilliant work. Water as a carrier of vital energy information, trees as bio-condensers of energy between the deep earth and the sun, how self-cleansing rivers nourish the landscape, how the future of the earth depends on the replanting of natural forests, revolutionary agricultural implements, free energy heater-coolers, jet engines and gravity defying machines invented by Schauberger in the 30's and 40's, home power generators...it's pretty much all here. It was a hard book for me to put down once I started reading, and I go back to it continually for reference. This book pretty much sums up Schauberger's work, which Coats then compartmentalized and expanded in the "Eco-Technology" series with four other books. I would highly advise getting this book, first, and reading it thoroughly, before moving on to the series, as it is a fascinating preface into discovering who Viktor Schauberger WAS, and learning just how far-reaching his theories were, and aplicable to us, today.
