I recently watched an episode of How The Universe Works and in it Theoretical Physicist Michio Kaku claimed that "Hydrogen atoms in water were born shortly after the Big Bang and then came everything else." Now if that doesn't get you thinking about hydrogen and water I don't know what else will. By now many of us know how important a role hydrogen plays in our lives. Among other things it helps to reduce free radicals in our body and free radicals are known to cause aging and disease. And what is a good way to get more hydrogen? Drink more water, in particular, structured water because the hydrogen will be more available.

But, thanks to the alkaline water craze, people are realizing that not all water is the same and some water has a more balanced pH level then others. What does pH mean? Hydrogen potential. So if the pH is higher then there is a higher level of hydrogen potential. So it is great to have your water at a natural balance of 7.0-7.5 pH so that you are getting a good amount of hydrogen potential. But what is hydrogen?

What Is Hydrogen?

Well obviously hydrogen is a gas. But was is that? I'm going to get philosophical now because I'm just amazed by this statement that "Hydrogen atoms in water were born shortly after the Big Bang and then came everything else." To me this means that hydrogen is part of our prime creation. Before that it was energy and before that it was, well, I don't know, nothing ?

Maybe if I catch you up more on the nature of our Universe's creation by explaining what scientists have unraveled by studying the Big Bang you will get more of the picture I am seeing.

The Big Bang

The Universe began with the Big Bang around 12-14 billion years ago. But it didn't look like it does now when it first began. To start it went through a heat wave that makes our Sun look like the Moon. Then for 380,000 years it was all a milky soup of loose electrons that eventually cooled down enough to allow the electrons to slow down and stick to atoms. Then it began to mass produce atoms and finally create hydrogen. Then it created helium and lithium. Around this time clouds of hydrogen and helium gases began a 200 million year period of floating in space until finally these gases came together and ignited into stars. Over this period the Universe had begun to clear up and the one we see today slowly started to take shape.

One billion years after the Big Bang galaxies began to form. Over the next 8 billion years countless more galaxies took shape. Then about 5 billion years ago in a quiet region of one of these galaxies, gravity began to pull in dust and gas until it finally clumped together enough to give birth to our Sun. Our solar system, 9 billion years after the Big Bang, sprang to life and with it planet Earth.

What's also amazing is that it almost took a completely different direction. In the beginning there was a battle between matter and antimatter. When these two collide they obliterate each other. Well there was basically a billion units of antimatter and a billion and one units of matter and because of that one unit more, matter won and that's all it took to create the known Universe with it's countless galaxies of suns, planets, moons and so on.

I still haven't found the answers to the questions I have about what hydrogen or gas really is but the next time you drink a glass of structured water, think about the hydrogen you are about to digest and how this hydrogen was one of the first creations of our Universe. Maybe you will have an epiphany and you can share it in the comments down below.

There are many ways these days to approach the description of non-ordinary reality or forces beyond the physical. It could be soul, spirit, mind, field, energy, higher self, divine energy or non-ordinary reality and forces beyond the physical just to name the most common ones I know of. Now many people in the science community believe that if you can't see it or quantify it, then it isn't real. To tell you the truth, I am completely open to this idea, but I'm also open to there being spirit.

Well, I certainly like to quantify things and just like the Dalai Lama, I follow certain philosophies that I am willing to adjust based on proven scientific reality, but I also believe that there is more than the eye or our scientific instruments have yet to see. I say yet because I wouldn't be surprised if one day we could find a way to measure spiritual experiences. There are actually some scientists like Mario Beauregard and Denyse O'Leary, two neuroscientists who wrote The Spiritual Brain, who claim to have proven that there are forces outside the brain that influence our experience. Or Bruce Lipton, a Cell Biologist, who has discovered that there is a force outside our cells that seems to be exchanging energy and information.

So what I would really like to ponder in this post is; if there is a spiritual aspect to the Universe, then what is the spirit of water all about? Here are some human like questions; Are there many spirits of water? Does every drop of water have a spirit? What is a water spirit like? Since we are mostly water are we in communion with the spirit of water? Does water even have it's own spirit? If water has a spirit, does it blend with ours or are we all one connected spirit on the spiritual level or is it separate, even on that level? If the spirit of water could speak to us, what would it say? Am I saying it right now? Either way, I would like to give thanks to the spirit of water. Thank you!

Viktor Shauberger said that spring water is the beginning of carbohydrate formation in nature. It's essentially forming sugars that give the water sweetness. This is why natures water can be slightly oily and sweet. The oiliness supposedly has to do with this carbohydrate formation.

David Wolfe says, "that eventually in nature plants and animals will add chains to the water which are polysaccharides which becomes the primary membrane material of every cell." He also comments on Bruce Lipton's work with cell biology and how the intelligence of the cell isn't in the nucleus but in the membrane. That's where the intelligence is. So polysaccharides could be delivering intelligence to us from nature.

What are polysaccharides? It's a carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together.*

Polysaccharides are one of 8 essential sugars we need to help with immune system, joints, tissue repair and neurological health. It has a long chain sugar structure where as most of the other simple sugars which are also essential are short chained.

I found a great wiki answer** about polysaccharides which stated that:

"Polysaccharides are used in living things for structure and storage. In plants, cellulose give structure to the cell walls, as does chitin in fungi and peptidoglycan in bacteria. All these carbohydrates are polysaccharides. In animals, glycogen (branched glucose chains) is used as storage of energy and in plants starch performs the same job.

Polysaccharides are important to living things because a polysaccharide is just another way to store and hold glucose, which is the only thing that can provide energy to living organisms. It is just another very important alternative to store energy in living things."

Some foods that are known to have polysaccharides are Noni, Aloe Vera and Chaga Mushroom.

Dr. Mu Shik Jhon refers to water as one of the science community’s puzzles because it has not yet been fully understood by us. However, being a pioneer in this effort, Dr. Jhon has done over 40 years of research and publishing almost 300 scientific papers on the subject of water.

Dr. Jhon points out in his book on hexagonal water, or structured water, that the Earth and its surrounding field hold between 1.3 to 1.4 billion km³. That is 146 ten thousand trillion tons of water! Only 0.65 percent of this is available for us to use.

The amount of water we have stays the same, continually being recycled through the process of evaporation and rain or snow. Water is also cycled through the living organisms on Earth, from humans to animals to plants to microscopic organisms!

Water keeps us alive and healthy. When a life form becomes dehydrated, its health can weaken and with continued dehydration may eventually die. The balance water delivers to our bodies is amazing: it gives nutrients and oxygen while removing toxins. Without water, we wouldn’t last long!
