Pure accident so we are told, or is it by clever, symbiotic design?

Conceived in the cool, dark cradle of the virgin forest, water ripens and matures as it slowly mounts from the depths, gathering to itself trace elements and minerals on its upward way. Only when it is ripe, and not before, will it emerge from the bowels of the earth as a spring, which, as a true spring, in contrast to a seepage spring, has a water temperature of about 4°C. Here in the cool, diffused light of the forest it begins its long, life- giving cycle as a sparkling, lively, translucent stream, bubbling, gur- gling, whirling and gyrating as it wends its way valleywards. In its natural, self-cooling, spiralling, convoluting motion, water is able to maintain its vital inner energies, health and purity, and in this way preserve this planet as a habitat for our con- tinuing existence. Water has the capacity to retain large amounts of heat, and were there no water vapour in the atmosphere, this world en Of Ours would be an icy-cold, barren waste- land. Water in all its forms and qualities is thus the mediator of all life and deserving of the highest focus of our esteem. : 'To be, or not to be: In nature all life is a question of the minut- est, but extremely precisely graduated differences in the particular thermal motion within every single body, which continually changes in rhythm with the processes of pulsation." * "This unique law, which manifests itself throughout nature's vastness and unity and expresses itself in every creature and organ- acts as the conveyor of all the necessary minerals, trace clemenis ‘5, is the law of perpetual cycles that in every organism is linked to and other subtle energies to the surrounding environment.
