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 than 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) Nature as Teacher, the second volume of the Eco-Technology series which presents the original, passionate and convincing research of Viktor Schauberger in translation for the first time, looks at the ways in which we can return to the vital natural cycles that have been interrupted by modern unthinking technologies. Schauberger was a pioneering genius who combined keen observation of Nature with intuitive brilliance and a sharp engineer's brain. One of the first genuine environmentalists, he was predicting ecological catastrophe in the 1930s when no-one else could see it coming. Schauberger's predictions are now being proven 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.

A fearless exponent of natural energy who revelled in doing battle with contemporary orthodox scientists, his work is enjoying a worldwide revival because he was able to convey how an understanding of Nature's subtle energies is essential to our survival. This, and the fact that he developed free energy machines by harnessing the magical processes of Nature, has made Viktor Schauberger truly a man of our times. Following the success of The Water Wizard, 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. The Eco-Technology series makes available for the first time Viktor Schauberger's original writings and passionate debates. Callum Coats has painstakingly collected, translated and edited the material for what promises to be the most definitive study yet of this extraordinary man's life and work.

On Energy, Eggs and Natural Motion

Our Motion Is Wrong

Letter from Viktor Schauberger, 1954. (Implosion Magazine, No. 19)

Dear Dr M G,

I thank you for your interesting letter and I would like to answer your questions in a very unscientific way thus. The old foresters, huntsmen and fishermen and their wives at the spinning wheel, sought through old fairy-tales, to explain the mysterious steadfastness of trout standing motionless in the axis of flowing springwater.

It was rumoured that the souls of the departed were to be found in such springs. They were supposed to be slowly released from their decomposing earthly remains in the cool womb of Mother Earth. Gradually coming together in tumbling streams and migrating upstream, where upon reaching the spring they became charged with a purifying ascending current. This current also draws a certain quantity of springwater with it in order then to be able to rise heavenwards.

As a four-year old, I wanted to have a close look at this migration of souls and in the process fell into the ice-cold water. The maid-servant fished me out and administered stout blows, shaking the water out of my lungs and stomach. She then took me into the kitchen and angrily sat me down on the kitchen sideboard, where my shocked mother took over. While my clothes were being changed, she delivered an unforgettable lecture.

“You silly boy! How on earth can you go to that water, where the poor souls journey towards the mountains. They will attract you, pull you in, drown you, and then you die and have to go with them. When you are grown up and not before, if one day have pressing problems, then, my young man, go to the springbrook, where my soul will also be and which will then give you motherly advice and help you when I am no longer on this Earth.”

Thirty years later as a young forester, I was going to lose my job due to the inexploitability of the timber in remote stands of a forest reserve. It was due to be administered by a cheaper gamekeeper instead. Standing near a high-lying crystal-clear stream I gazed ruminatively into the fast-flowing water, which rose from a crack in the rocks a few hundred metres higher up, and murmured into it. My mother’s spirit did not answer and, disappointed, I wanted to cross over the stream, using my staff as a vaulting pole. Trying to find a secure purchase for the end of my staff on the smooth, rocky stream-bed, I flushed a stationary trout from its lair, which fled upstream like lightning.

Two questions shot into my head: firstly, how do trout reach these high places? Secondly, just how was it possible that there, right in the axis of the current, a large number of fish were able to stand almost motionless? Steering themselves with only slight movements of their tail-fins, how were they able so effortlessly to overcome their own weight and the specific weight of the heavy water flowing against them?

Was it the souls migrating towards the mountains that drew the fish along in their wake? Or did an axial, biomagnetic force prevail which also prevented the downstream acceleration of heavy logs, and yet which, through mysterious counter-forces of suction, made their transport down the central axis possible? To cut a long story short, this is how I discovered animalistic earth-sap-blood magnetism, which enables the naturally flowing, planetarily inward-spiralling water-masses to maintain their steadiness of flow in variable gradients. This steadying force is rendered inoperative if the watercourse is regulated and straightened out. It is also extinguished if springwater is centrifuged in high-speed, iron (steel) pressure-turbines.

Professor Ernst Ferdinand Sauerbruch discovered the organic low-pressure chamber that lies between the pleura and the surface of the lungs, which functions as a biological vacuum and enables the inhalation of breathable matter and the resistance-free expansion of the lungs. Professor Sauerbruch was not aware, however, that this phenomenon is only possible through planetary motion. In this process positive atmospheric pressure is countered by a negative pressure, variable at will, whose power increases by the square of the in-winding rotational velocity. Moreover, if water is centrifuged, positive pressure increases in precisely the same measure, resulting in the lateral ejection of bipolar sediments. The naturalesque way, however, is to centripetalise them along the central axis. Otherwise a bioelectric nuclear axis surrounded by a decadent magnetic field will develop (as with electromagnets) at the same time as a diamagnetic, oxygen-repelling, but nonetheless iron-attracting magnetic function. In this case a pole-reversal occurs, i.e. an atomic excess pressure evolves in the longitudinal axis of a watercourse, which makes all respiration and insuction of diffuse, atmospheric oxygen impossible. The water inevitably suffocates, and with further direct or indirect over-illumination it decomposes due to the increasingly aggressive concentration of oxygen.

If water is made to move in a predominantly centrifugal manner, an X-ray-like radiation is produced, which is the result of warm processes of distillation (fermentation) in the zone where the raw materials and basic substances are present. This mainly emanates in a horizontal direction, drawing decomposing matter into its wake and encrusting the wall-surfaces, as occurs in sclerosis. It triggers off additional heating effects which naturally are at the expense of formative and levitative atomic energies. This occurs when the temperature of a river is raised to bathing temperature in summer, which, if the rate of flow approximates 800 million cubic metres (1,046 million cu yds) of water per second, requires a further expenditure of energy of about 60 million horsepower (to heat up 1m³ of water by only 0.1°C, requires an additional heat input in the order of 42,700 kilogram metres).

The fact that energies are also bipolar has therefore been overlooked; which form of energy is activated is solely dependent on the type of motion of the medium in question (be it earth, air or water). Through the agency of warm or cold fermentation processes in the raw material zone, it is either the bioelectric, decomposive or biomagnetic, levitative energy-form that in the end prevails. In an unnaturally-regulated waterway or a river channelled through steel pressure turbines, increases in heat occur, which are identical to those in atomic piles when uranium (which is actually represented in every cell as a form of sediment) is bombarded with neutrons.

Every leaf, every pine-needle, every eggshell, gill, lung, or piece of bark is a diffusion system that possesses the same accommodating capacity as the pupil of the eye. It dilates or constricts, permitting only the passage of regenerative, refreshing and almost heatless oxygenic elements. It also absorbs those elements that are developmentally harmful. More precisely, it ejects them centrifugally, because they are endowed with enormous velocities. An indirect centrifugal effect is activated in this way, which purifies the entraining, half sucked-in, half pressed-in seminal matter. Any motion of bipolar entities always evolves through the agency of two components of motion – and what really matters here is which of the two components, suction or pressure, predominates. The regulation of this rhythmical (intrinsically dynamic) interplay of forces so that the suction component prevails is an art, which is only possible through a predominantly planetary form of mass-movement.

All over-illumination or over-heating, whether this takes place directly or techno-academically, weakens the biomagnetism that attracts and draws in animalistic oxygen. The same also occurs when toxic fumes are inhaled. Asthma and blood circulation disorders are the biological consequences of the type of motion that intensifies heat and reverses the polarity of the biomagnetic, axial force.

I could write you a book showing the errors committed by those in academies, universities and schools of higher education, who only know how to move bipolar masses when centrifugence predominates and pressure and heat intensify. They are ignorant of the life-curves which are made possible through a predominantly centripetal, planetary system of moving earth, blood, water and sap that reduces heat and pressure.

With the latter, giving due attention to the number of revolutions, it is possible to approach the anomaly point; the temperature zero-point of every manifestation of life. At this point the negatively supercharged inner elements of a seed, sediment or a cell become highly active, whereas positively supercharged energy-concentrates become passive. They become condensed, and after being atomised mechanically, are bound by negatively supercharged energy-concentrates.

The end-product of this interaction is biomagnetism. It emanates its surplus energy mainly in a vertical direction. If conducted through vacuum tubes, the tubes radiate a bluish-green shimmer of light. In contrast, the other forces exhibit a dark red, strongly pulsating light-effect at the periphery of a vacuum bulb. The former are the spiritual (atomic), biomagnetic and animating ethericities, which on their upward path attract and draw in surrounding atmospheric oxygen in its diffused state. In the process a tornado-like, upwardly-widening and water-precipitating ur-cyclone is triggered off, which draws up the whole mass of the Earth. This force is encircled by an expanding development of solidifying entities, which prevent the rupture of the Earth. The peoples of ancient cultures, who made excessive use of planetary motion, must therefore inadvertently have brought about the break-up of Atlantis.

However, gravitation and levitation can be regulated by mechanically-produced motion. With this comes liberation, independence from physical and spiritual ponderousness. Gravitation really only reigns in our atmospheric living space, for above this weightlessness prevails. Using this insight, I built the Repulsine in Mauthausen concentration camp. At the end of the war the models, prototypes and working drawings fell into Russian hands, and as so-called ‘flying saucers’ they will soon flit around the world like phantoms. These craft do not stem from higher beings, but rather from a forester who merely turned the Ressel pressure-screw inside out. In this way I managed to construct the biomagnetism-generating suction-screw or, expressed more scientifically, the logarithmical tractor-screw. Dr Putlitz calculated it for me and, as an inhabitant of Hamburg in Germany and a former communist leader, he is not entirely without repute. The rest of those assigned to the project in Mauthausen concentration camp were all either Poles or Czechs. I received reports from them after the war that further development of the Repulsine was being diligently pursued, so any further commentary is superfluous.

The gyrating motion detected by water-diviners is predominantly bioelectric in nature and function. In the majority of cases it is indicative of an intermixture of the diffuse substances in different types of water, where the latter mutually intersect. At their point of intersection an atomic form of rotational motion becomes free and active, which can also be achieved with the aid of dynamos, which centrifuge the sediment of the air.

The same applies to pressure-turbines used in hydroelectric power generation and hence with its soul removed, the groundwater must sink over wider and wider areas as the rate of rotation increases through the steepening of the intake gradient.

I have already stated that lower forms of radiation emitted in bundled form by techno-academically moved water ignite fluids and gases. It has likewise become completely obvious that their activity also triggers off inflammation of the blood and sap, called ‘cold fire’ according to folklore, and correctly named cancer. In this regard our miseducated scientists can be described as the true instigators of cancer.

Half of the twenty-six patents I have applied for have already been granted. Their illustration and explanation is correct. They are concerned with a three-dimensional form of motion and the atomic counter-flowing motion arising from it. In terms of its function, it is the primeval breathing force, which attracts and draws into itself the elements of oxygen and earth-magnetism. It is the generator of levitation force.

The will of the father builds houses for his children. Placing a curse on the mother tears them down again. As the ancients foretold, whosoever should disturb the spiritual journey of the eternally female, which lifts everything upwards and endows it with the ability to move autonomously, will be forever cursed.

Please read Stern, folio 29, of 18th July 1954, which states in this regard: “We stand before a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. The world has too little water. America reports new droughts. Denmark has introduced water restrictions. France is closing down businesses. In Germany in particular, scarcity of water is increasing despite alarming rainfall. Wells are drying up. Water supplies are rationed. Factories in the Ruhr are cancelling shifts. Now the artificial production of rain is being attempted by making ‘water out of water’. Seawater is to be transformed into poisonous distilled water by processes of warm distillation.”

Every fifth German is dying from over-acidified food, water and air for breathing. It is the origin of regressive development and of the onset and cause of cancer.

Those who refuse to listen to advice cannot be helped. Every square kilometre of mixed forest soil retains about 120 million litres of rainwater. Countless diffusion systems abstract oxygen from it and conduct this most finely atomised rainwater into the ground, where with the aid of planetary Earth-motion, it is once again transformed into levitative spring-water.

The Danube has a catchment area of about 90,000km² (34,750sq m). 46,000km² (17,760sq m) of this lie in Bavaria. If only one sixth of the erstwhile forest had been left standing, then about 180 million m³ (235 million cu yds) of water would have been retained, and the recent enormously destructive inundations would have been totally impossible. As a result, Germany must now spend 10,000m Marks (see report in Der Spiegel, 32, 1954) merely to alleviate the grossest water damage. No scientist knows how it could have happened. Were it known, then the madness and stupidity of de-spiritualising or de-magnetising the blood of the Earth through techno-academic forms of motion would not have occurred.

Everyone feels assailed when one tells the truth. The dearth of water will therefore inevitably result in an economic collapse. People could not have gone about it more idiotically and in so doing bring about their own demise. Either our present technical systems of motion will be prohibited by law or all humanity will be lost in zones of greater heat. Our children are confronted with a grisly future. They will have to dig for good water in the same way as today we dig for gold or other supposed earth-treasures. A totally stubborn scientist once told me curtly, “Few people ever listen to the bleat of the camels⁷³ of the advancing Bedouins”.

The camels already arrived long ago and their bleating only accelerates the further decline. I regularly ask myself; will those who have caused this global calamity beat on their heroes’ breasts and smash themselves to pieces? Will they bawl “mea culpa, mea culpa!” and accuse themselves? On the contrary, they will leave no stone unturned to save their prestige and in the process fail to see that they will be the first to be hung, once despair throughou...
