Water
As long as I can remember I've been fascinated by water. I don't really know why. It just seems there is something different about it, yet, familiar at the same time. I know over 70% of our planet is covered by it. Over 70% of our body is made up of it. It's one of the few substances on Earth that can hold 3 different phases of matter: solid, liquid, and gas (not sure about plasma, that's a new one. I mean, come on, in my day, Pluto was a planet).
The thing that struck me the most was in my reading of Genesis 1. The first two verses go like this in the NIV:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Since this is Hebrew poetry, it's assumed that there will be illustrative language to convey the general idea of what is happening, but it seems to me that water was here before God started to create anything. Is it a companion to God? Did God NOT create water? Or was it the paint sitting on a pallet waiting for the artist to create His masterpiece? It seems to be linked with an idea mankind has yet to understand called "Spirit."
There is a Japanese scientist who takes pictures of frozen water crystals after they have been exposed to certain things. His name is Dr. Masaru Emoto, and he's probably crazy. He literally used a computer to print out phrases on paper such as "Thank You" and "I hate you and will kill you," taped it to a glass of water, and photographed the effect on the molecular structure of the water hours later.
I know the site looks a little shady, but after surfing a bit, I've found that this information is legit.
Go see for yourself.

Have you ever "sensed" that something is wrong? Have you ever "felt" the love of an embrace from a loved one? These are just words to describe something that we honestly do not understand. Maybe it's not a secret unlocked by the mind.
Maybe the science will one day catch up with Faith (or as some call it, Theory). I can feel it in my Spirit.
Or maybe there is just something in the Water...

I saw somewhere the other day how Quantum Physics talks about how even observing something has an effect on it. I don't understand that at all but it seems to be a similar study. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWater has always interested me as well. But for me its more in terms of, "its interesting how many things in the ocean want to eat me." And that's why I never swim in large bodies of natural water.
