DOES WATER HAVE MEMORY

On a balmy afternoon, I was taken aback when my son mentioned after some readings that we live amidst among ancient and futuristic aliens.

 It is opined  by some scientists  that the  accuracy  of predictions  made  by our ancestors  about eclipses , circumference of the earth,  rotation  and revolution , concept of zero and even about the existence of galaxies and the origin of the universe           would  not have been  possible  without the availability of scientific instruments at their disposal.  It was through the power of deep meditation, that our Rishis could unravel the mysteries of universe was the explanation provided by my mother. My son debunked the argument and quoted recent research that this knowledge might have been imparted by ancient aliens.

Given this background, I asked my wife does, “Water have memory?”

My wife had attended a workshop at school, wherein it was debated that all animate and inanimate objects are impacted by positive and negative emotions.

      To amplify the point, two vessels were filled with water and tested. One sample was exposed to barbs, invectives, irresponsible comments, curses and raucous comments. Over a period of a few days the composition of the water became turgid and swollen.

The other vessel was offered incantations, prayers, blessings, positive thoughts and emotions. The water assumed a harmonious structure with crystalline molecules.

This was thought provoking.  Human bodies have 60 to 70% water element. The food we partake has a significant footprint on our minds. Partaking of Satvik, Rajasik or Tamasik food has ramifications on the body and mind. So does it happen with liquor which has water content? Advancing the argument, water too can impact the mind. It may sound incredulous, but do not kill the idea.

I ventured to ask, do oceans too have memories? The moon has repercussions on the thought process of our minds; it also creates tides in the oceans.   A   pattern seemed to be emerging between the moon, water and mind (memory in this case).

There is a famous sequence in the Mahabharata, wherein Yama forbids the Pandavas to drink water from a lake until all his questions were answered. Except Yuddhistir, the other Pandavas ignored the voice and partook the water and succumbed  .  So like the experiment in the school, where the property of the water was radicalized, Yama changed the  character of the water to make it poisonous . Therefore the water developed a memory.

The hallmark of water is to douse fire. Is this feature based on enclosed and stored information?

In the year 1998, Jacques Benvensite , a French immunologist  propounded  a  theory that,   water has memory. According to his team,

water has the ability to memorise substances dissolved to the number of serial dilutions. He advocates that homeopathic remedies can operate through this mechanism.  This has not been accepted by the scientific fraternity.

The French scientist and his team INSERM have researched that on a diluted solution of human antibodies to such a degree that there was virtually no possibility that a single molecule of the antibody could remain in the water solution. However it was reported after a battery of tests that human basophils responded to the solution as though they encountered the original antibody. This amplified the hypothesis that water had properties of possessing memory.

“It is like agitating a car key in the river, going miles downstream , extracting a few drops of water, and then starting one’s car with water” writes Jaques Benveniste.

The scientific community has called the experiments of this team as those of ghost hunters.  They term it as bizarre and a blinded study. Nevertheless, popular scientific magazine Nature and British television show After Dark have been debating the issue as to whether water has memory.

H2O is essential for human existence.  When we talk of Mission Mars, we always refer to existence of  traces of water on the red planet. Perhaps the water has kind off disappeared or vaporized and along with it certain memories.

 Victor Hugo wrote,” No power on the earth can stop an idea whose time has come”. In the instant case it is the memory power of water.
