The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it,
Dr. Carl Sagan, world renowned astrophysicist
it’s the way those atoms are put together.
Water: A Liquid Crystal
Water is not the simple glass of liquid we were taught in school, some random arrangement of hydrogen and oxygen (called “bulk” water by scientists). Rather, water has the amazing ability to arrange its hydrogen and oxygen molecules into repeating, geometric formations – just like a crystal (thus, it is called ordered, or structured, water by scientists). Why does this matter? Because we are not made of random, “bulk” water – we are made of ordered, structured water, which are nearly two completely different substances, with different properties and different actions. And since 99% of our molecules (by count) are structured water, it suddenly becomes critically important if we are to understand ourselves at all.
Water, as we know it, that hydrogen-bonded bulk liquid…may not exist within cells.

So what is a liquid crystal?
Think of a water’s liquid crystal like a perfectly orchestrated “school of molecular fish”. It has molecules, or groups of hydrogen and oxygen, that are arranged in ordered, repeating, geometric patterns – just like a solid crystal such as ruby, quartz, or diamond. But unlike a solid crystal, its molecule pattern is fluid and flexible, capable of change. And just like that perfectly orchestrated school of fish, these molecules can break apart and reform new patterns in fractions of an instant.
In a solid crystal, the structure or pattern of molecule and atom arrangement determines it’s properties. It is the reason that ruby was able to be used to create the original lasers – because it’s certain pattern of organization gave it different properties, namely the ability to cohere light into one laser-like band. Or the reason that diamonds are the hardest substance on earth – because its pattern of organization gives it the strongest structural integrity of any substance on the planet. In crystals, both solid and liquid, and really all of Life, pattern and structure is everything.

As it turns out, the Water in our body – which accounts for over 99% of our molecules, (by count not weight) – is highly structured, meaning its molecules of hydrogen and oxygen are arranged in complex crystallographic patterns…at least, it is in healthy cells. Thanks to the development of NMR technology (Nuclear Resonance Imaging – think MRI scans in hospitals, only NMRI), scientists have been able to compare the arrangement of water in different cells. What they found was astonishing – water in healthy cells remains crystallographic, true to it’s liquid crystal nature, while water in aging, diseased, or otherwise unhealthy cells, becomes more like “bulk water”- the broken, misshapen forms of random arrangements of hydrogen and oxygen. And since Water is a liquid crystal, it means it can reorganize its structure in response to new information. Thanks to the work of countless scientists, researchers, and Nobel Laureates, we now know that it does restructure itself in response to new information – all the time. Water, in its flexible and changeable arrangement, rearranges it’s structure in response to virtually all types of energy, and it does so constantly – like an ever updating network, every trillionth of a second.
Photographic researchers like Masaru Emoto, Laurent Costa, Konstantin Korotkov, and others have demonstrated the change in ice crystal formation from water exposed to different energies – whether positive or negative emotion, music, intention, language, light and colors, etc. And now we know the science of just how water is able to do such amazing things – how and why it has the ability to create beautiful snowflakes from thoughts of love and prayer, or have its crystals completely broken down into misshapen blobs and broken symmetries from negative thoughts, or even computer and cell phone radiations. Perhaps more importantly, we also finally now know the connection between water, consciousness, and health – and how it is that water that truly integrates and connects our mind, body, and spirit, into one individual Self – serving as the storehouse of our consciousness, and the interface between consciousness and energy to the physical body. It is how thoughts affect our health, and how negativity and stress can cause drastic physical changes – through the breakdown in our body’s waters – also called our bio-waters.
The structure of our water is vitally important to our health, and it may even be the only thing that really matters. Once we start to look into how the water in our body affects our DNA, proteins and enzymes, and cellular communication, it really becomes apparent that it truly is all about our Water. And it turns out that not only is our health dependent upon the liquid crystal nature of our water, so is our consciousness – our thoughts, perceptions, and judgements – and, according to virtually all of our ancient texts from every tradition around the world, our spirit – our experience of a relationship with God, spirituality, or Divine nature – is also dependent on our water system.
What we have found in our laboratory is that the energy of mind projected through a crystal will structure water just like it was frozen into ice. The remarkable and unique differentiation is that water, when it is structured with mind and with thought, remains fluid but structured, that type of category is called a liquid crystal, a mesophase, a mesomorphic transition.

The Importance of Water Structure
Their theory was that the chemical composition is important.
Professor Rustom Roy, University of Pennsylvania, Member: International Academy of Science
Now the sensational news is that that is nonsense. The structure of the water is much more important than the chemical composition”
In our world, structure really is everything. Rustum Roy was right, chemical composition is not what is important, it is the structure. This applies not just to Water, but to our entire Universe. Our Universe is built on patterns and structure, and the chemistry-based paradigm may one day be obsolete. Through the amazing world of crystals and water, we can come to understand the critical nature of patterns, and realize what it means that the water in our bodies – termed “biowater” – is highly structured with complex geometric patterns. These structures in our biowater do everything from maintaining our DNA, shaping every protein and enzyme, and conducting energy and information in our bodies – not to mention simply keeping our cells intact.
If we are made of diamonds – or at least the H2O equivalent – it becomes quite ludicrous to approach the body and our health as if it is a system made of graphite or coal.”

Crystals and Patterns, Water and Structure
The effect that structure has is most easily seen when looking at crystals. Take graphite and diamond, for example – two forms of carbon, varying only in the structural arrangement of a single element (carbon). One makes excellent pencils for its softness, the other makes excellent cutting for its strength. Both are made entirely of carbon, yet these structural changes yield massive differences, and as any woman will tell you, one is not the same as the other.
SiO2, or silicon dioxide, can appear as either quartz, flint, or glass – and again, all share the same chemical composition and yet yield completely different substances, with completely different properties. Glass cannot be used to make hard drives or radios, you cannot time a watch to glass and when it is squeezed it does not create electrical energy – but quartz can and does, and because of its structure is able to store information, vibrate at specific rates, and create electrical energy when mechanical pressure is applied – a property called piezo-electricity. It’s because of its specific crystalline structure – which is what determines its properties.
Crystals have amazing properties, from the ability to transform energy from one type to another – like in the case with piezoelectricity – or to express pyroluminosity, emitting light when exposed to heat. It can be cut into a specific shape to vibrate at a specific rate – so precise it can be used to keep time, as is the case with quartz and certain watches. It can be used to tune into certain frequencies, as is the case with radio frequencies in the original crystal radios. Certain crystalline structures can cohere energy and information, such as rubies in the original lasers. The specific pattern of molecular arrangement is what allows a properly cut ruby to focus scattered light waves into one direction, and project them as a synchronized, cohered wave – also known as a laser.
The specific pattern of the molecules determines the crystals properties, i.e. how it reacts to energy. Different geometric structures have different effects on energy and information – energy is transferred along its structure in different ways – depending on the pattern, this energy may be transduced (i.e. change form) or transmitted (i.e.radio frequencies, light frequencies)in different ways.
It’s not just crystals, it’s everything. Carl Sagan said it best, “It’s not the atoms that go into it, it’s the way those atoms are put together.” We can do this with proteins in the body – change all the ingredients of a protein, but keep its same shape – and the body will accept it as the original protein. The ingredients, or what parts and pieces make up the protein, don’t even matter. Only the structure matters.
And guess what determines the folding, shape, and structure of every single protein in the body, including DNA? That’s right, it’s water. The minimum 10,000 water molecules that surround every protein in the body are directly responsible for the shape, folding, and coiling. And it does this through its liquid crystal geometric structures.
But that’s not all it does. The water in our body has been found to contain every crystallographic pattern known to man, and these complex structures are also what allows water to record information, changing its structure to reflect the new information to which it is exposed, and to act as a fractal antennaso it is capable of transmitting and receiving vast amounts of this information – just like our smartphones, which can only run things like wi-fi and GPS thanks to their fractal antennas. It allows water to act as the interface between our physical bodies and our bio-energetic systems, and to serve as the storehouse and mechanism of our consciousness. Find out how the structure of our water affects the rest of your health, and read Water Codes to get the full story on the structure of water and why these geometric shapes have been utilized and honored throughout antiquity.
