I borrowed a book on water filtration some time ago and it recommended this system or very similar for taking water from rivers, but you have to change them quite regularly. Drinking distilled water is not so good, as it doesn't have any bacteria in it. It is sterilised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard of this being done with bamboo. Although I am not sure how they bored throught the culms. Do you know what other wood was used?

Do you know what other wood was used? Here's a bit on wooden pipes, although I don't think it is ststed what kind of wood. Cycloid Space Curves: These can be created in pipes as well as in proper river regulation. 'If as a result of the elimination of cycloid space curves in straight channelled river regulations, the naturalesque evolutionary curve is lost and with it the possibility of self- renewal, then water becomes stale, insipid and sick. With this everythinbg that owes its existence, its physical well-being and its increase in mental vigour to the water also disappears. ( this is why it is so much better to drink Ganges water than ground water) Most importantly of all, it is quite futile to work towards an improvement in the present standard of living as long as the Blood of the Earth, the apparant ordinary looking water that faithfully accompanies us from the cradle to the grave, is not given back its matriarchal rights....The inner destructive fury must first be removed from what has been dispersed, and this is done with the use of cycloid space-curve motion.' This is a section under a heading - River Regulation - My Visit to the Technical University for Agricultural Science. (Viktor Shaubergers The Water Wizard.) '....Today, where almost all healthy springs have either dried up, or the water has already been intercepted at its source and delivered to urban areas in wrongly constructed water mains, the soils, the earth and the entire animal kingdom have to rely on worn out, stale and consequently diseased water. Even quite immature water (full of inferior, less complex substances, and torn from the womb of the Earth [i.e. by pumping]) or health endangering surface water sterilised with chemical additives) must be supplied for human use. |It is therefore high time we discovered ways and means of protecting human, beast and soil from the decay that must legitimately follow if the Earth dies of thirst - as a result of the internal decomposition of water arising from the current ECONOMIC measures and industrial practices.' I was going to stop here and write some notes on pipe construction, but I feel you will like this bit..... 'Nature alone can and should be our Great Teacher. If we wish to regain our spiritual and physical health, we should not simply rely on secondary mechanical or hydrolic phenomena. As a first priority we must see to it that sublime conformaties with natural law are thoroughly investigated - conformities which govern the ways in which Mother Earth prepares her life-giving fluid and the means she uses to conduct it to the Point-of-use. Once we have unveiled this secret, if we faithfully copy what has been tried and tested over millions of years, then we are on the right track. Only then can we intervene analagously in Nature's vital functions and harvest an overabundance of the best and most noble fruits that Mother Earth has created and maintained in countell varieties with the aid of healthy blood (water). In order to penetrate the great mystery surrounding the origin of all life, we must take an interest not only in our living space, but in the above and below, in which water persues its etenal cycle in obedience to a great and immutable law.' I thought you would... The Double Spiral Flow Pipe: The pipe is constructed of wooden staves like that of a wooden barrel, but straight. Wired toghether the joints would close due to expansion. Inside there are inserted, in the constructed pieces of the pipe, vane-surfaces that lead to the separation of oxygen in the inner region of the pipe and it's subsequent concentration at the periphery....Thus the water is easily and simutaneously purged of suspended matter...The bacteria move to the outer edge of the pipe in flow...in this way precisely those pathogenic bacteria susceptible to an excess of oxygen are advantageouly eliminated, whereas non-pathogenic bacteria which are not harful to human health, but in many cases are actually beneficial, are to a certain extent retained. (In the pipe wall, which becomes sealed and over the course of time the relative spacial distribution of the more central flow of water and the interactions of the surface of the pipe walls arrive at a certain state of equilibrium. These processes then cease - the water is now mature and both wood and water have become almost immune to harmful outside influences......but you must have the directional vanes installed and he says of a precious metal. Therefore, today, this would apply to water on your own property. ...Those particles not drawn towards the centre of the pipe will be pressed onto the surface of the pipe walls by the prevailing mechanical pressure, there to combine with the with the raw materials from which the timber was originally formed. Thus they seal the pores of the wood, which in this way becomes more durable than iron. We mus'nt forget that to bring about the influence of the Golden age (Satya Yuga) we are not to be so concerned with the iron age and its faculties. That is why I am interested in coating all implements with copper. Anyway to cut a lot of long text short - you'd have to read the book, what is created is a double spiral longitudinal vortex which purges and purifies the water. How long the pipe needs to be I'm not clear about. But I would have thought that any length would be beneficial. It is the same principal that he built over forty very long log flumes in Austria-Germany that were so constructed that they carried out huge quantities of logs from inaccesible areas that otherwise were getting stuck by jamming sideways due to the straight walled confines of the conventional channel construction. Especially at night the water temperature changes and even more amazing things can happen like the floating of birch and other woods that are heavier than water and even stones which float along river beds at night ...emitting visible electrical discharges!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 1999 Report Share Posted December 28, 1999 No, maybe I should have said gold?? re Satya Yuga, But I can't afford that so copper will have to do.. Does anyone remember the four metals for the four yugas. Gold, copper, and iron and in which order for which Yuga.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Yuga, this time around was Dvarpara not Treta. If that's right that's the silver time. We don't have access to silver for much , but copper we can get and afford.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 >Silver solder in the circuit boards of your computer. Oh right, how do you get any considerable amount of silver out of old computers. You'd need rather a lot?? I was talking about coating implements with a new covering. At least one spade shouldn't be toooo difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right, how do you get any considerable amount of silver out of old computers. You'd need rather a lot?? I was talking about coating implements with a new covering. At least one spade shouldn't be toooo difficult. I don't know if the wearing characteristics of silver would make it a good material for a spade. The steel ones wear out fast enough. I have a neighbor who every time he needed a shovel would come and borow one from me. After a few times, I pointed out a location where he could buy his own at a cheap price. He actually got a little miffed. Broke his habit by starting to give him my most worn out shovel. I remember 10 years ago when Kirtanananda was still in charge, having the revolutionary idea that we should have at least one shovel for every man in the community. We would have marathons where shovels would be needed, and instead of buying shovels, he would instruct me to go borrow shovels from householders (the same householders he would denigrate in Bhagavatam class for being too attached to material things). It was just ludicrous. So I had to play the bureaucratic game, but eventually got a line in a budget and bought a lot of shovels (good wholesale price, naturally). I had established a garden next to the temple, with a garden shed where I kept the shovels. As I had other things to move onto, a brahmacari was put in charge of the garden. He took the opportunity of a little responsibility and latitude, to move into the garden shed and make it his residence. Of course, all those shovels were in his way, so despite my protestation, he got rid of most of them. I always thought the Swiss were pretty bright about requiring every man in the country to maintain a rifle, a shovel, and a blanket ready to go. That is some serious national defense. My standard benchmark for emergency preparedness doesn't even include the rifle, but at least a shovel per man. Maybe silver ones for the brahmanas, who would be expected to be doing service to the Deities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
