The research published here -- conducted over the course of fifteen years by Inge Just-Nastansky -- reveals, through extensive illustrations, a side of nature that otherwise remains hidden to us.
The water drop -- that small, transparent vessel -- leaves behind remarkable structures after drying, structures in which its "experiences" are imprinted. Salt, minerals, gemstones, and plant organs -- such as roots, stems, fruits, and seeds -- are submerged in water for weeks or months. At regular intervals, samples are taken and dripped onto a microscope slide. After drying, characteristic and reproducible images of astounding harmony and beauty appear through the microscope. The variety of forms seems inexhaustible. We encounter in the phenomena under the microscope a language of images which in its lawfulness expresses another level of nature’s reality. The understanding of this creative world of life that lies behind the world of appearance develops through a living feeling and understanding of what is given as an active impulse in the images. "The silent language of life" is therefore inaccessible to a logical, abstract approach.
Body fluids (tears, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and serum) are also a subject of research here. We perceive permanent structures with a saltlike character in the region of the nerve-sense system, whereas in the images of blood, we see ever-changing transformations under varying conditions. The necessary condition for everything that comes into existence is water as a mediator between idea and substance. All life processes originate in water.
