Turning water into.....

The Knowing is a source of information.

I call it a very reliable source of information.

I’d like to dive a little deeper into the concept of reliable source , by exploring the word ‘source’ separately from ‘ information’.

Water, so is the perceived wisdom, is crucial to life. If scientists want to investigate if a planet is likely to have life-as-we-know-it, they first determine if there is water.  In human evolution, people created new settlements always preferably close to water.
We need water, as part of the physical packet for life sustenance.

We all know, the purer the water, the better the quality. Contaminated water is unhealthy.
If you are concerned about your safety, it is likely that you’ll give some consideration to:

- the source of your water : where does it come from?

- the flow of the water: how did it get to you...what happened along the way?

- how far away are you from the real source (distance and time)?

- how do I use it ( hygiene, how do I treat it once it gets to me)?

Looking at water, the purest water on earth is found in two places: in the sky and (deep) in the earth.
The process that got the water there in the first place, purified it. It was condensation, to get it up there and filtration, to get it down there.
Dirty bits are usually heavier and don’t make it all the way to the place where it gets stored for a while, whether that is up or down.
High up there and deep down there, the water is not usable.. we simply don’t have practical access to it. It is not where we are.
Luckily, there is ‘ rain’ giving a regular flow of this necessity from above.
Luckily, there are  ‘springs’ giving an endless flow of this necessity, welling up from deep within.
Great!
And we all know that the water just cycles, in time, from being rain, to being spring water, to moving through rivers, lakes and seas and evaporate somewhere along the way, to become rain again.
So calling something ‘ spring water’ or ‘ rain water’ is merely referring to its latest known source in a pure state.

It doesn’t take much imagination, to see that if you use water straight from the well, or straight from the sky, it is cleaner, it is purer than if you use water others have used before you (water from behind the outlet of a factory, or water people and/or  animals have been using for bathing and.. well.....let’s call it ‘other activities’.)
If it has been processed by many, the impurities in the water are accumulating.

That happens in the best of circumstances, let alone in modern day densely populated and polluted areas. There, even the water quality close to the source becomes questionable: rain falling through polluted air, gets contaminated with particles and doesn’t arrive clean on the surface anymore. Spring water, welling up through polluted soil, is contaminated with particles and doesn’t arrive clean at the surface anymore.

Knowing that, there is still a way of distilling (literally) clean water from it. The pure water is always there, it is just a matter of taking the harmful particles out. Distillation of filtration are methods open to you too. It takes some time, some effort and some energy... but the result is much purer.

Obviously, cleaning the environment, NOT polluting the environment, has enormous benefits to the quality of this whole process too.

In all cases, wherever it comes from, no matter what the quality is.... if you don’t drink the water, if you don’t process it yourself, your system doesn’t benefit from it, dehydrates and ......

With water, this is easy to imagine.
Now... this whole process is equally true with another necessity in life: information.

Can a human being not live without information?
I say ‘ no’.
Following the simplest reasoning:  if you don’t know (= have access to meaningful information and are able to process it) where and how water and food can be obtained, it is game over, fairly soon.

I can rewrite the whole paragraph about water to make a point about information, simply by replacing ‘water’ by ‘information’.
I can because I know how to do that.
However, I also know that there is a much greater learning benefit if I leave a gap here and allow you to do that yourself, if you so wish.

In that way, I leave it to your imagination to do so, enabling you to observe what filters through (‘true’) in the process.

Just tempted to sprinkle here a few add-ons to ease the switch from the physical/ concrete concept of  ‘water’, to the metaphysical/ abstract concept of ‘ information’.

To my understanding:

·         The purest, clearest information is called Truth, it doesn’t contain harmful particles that pollute the Truth.

·         Pure rich completely ringing True information poured down is usually called: inspiration.

·         Pure rich completely ringing True information welling up from within is usually called: intuition.

Enjoy the process of turning water into something else!
