The Fourth Phase of Water
Or: Insights Concerning The Crystallization of Our Energetic Transformation
We’re all taught in school water has three phases—solid, liquid, and gas. But recently there’s been the discovery of a fourth phase to water: known as structured water or the liquid crystalline state of water.
A solid water crystal—aka an ice cube—has the advantage of being very structured but not much flexibility. Conversely, in the liquid phase of water, there’s fluidity but not much structure: e.g. water slips through your hands when you try to cup it.
A liquid crystal water in a sense combines the strengths of each; it has the structure of a solid but the fluidity of the liquid state. The liquid crystal, aka structured water, is something akin to a plasma or gel.
It is known as a liquid crystal due to a quartz crystal having the same molecular makeup.
Quartz crystals are used in the computing industry for their ability to embed and transduce information into a cohesive form. They embed information in coherent forms—forms that happen to reflect the ancient teaching of sacred geometry.
Could then a liquid crystal (structured water) function similarly? Could it embed information in a cohesive manner? Could it transduce light (conscious energy) and then radiate it back into life?
The liquid crystalline state of water occurs naturally in life through waving, spiralling motion. Drinking water from a fresh spring is an entirely different experience than drinking it out of the tap. The stream water is invigorating and vivifying because the water is actually alive in that case.
We’ve all heard that the human body Is made up of 70% water. Then question then becomes: is it possible to use energetic and spiritual practices to create spiral movements in our being such that the water in our bodies could be structured, crystalline water? And if so, what would be the consequence of such a process?
Crystalline Consciousness Technique (CCT) is a consciousness and energetic transformational tool that works with liquid crystalline water. I’ve been working with CCT for 5 years now, as a student, then practitioner, and more recently as a teacher. CCT calls the liquid crystalline state of water in the body, co-created through the spiralling motion of life, the Crystalline Energy System (CES for short).
The CES is, in essence, a different operating system for assimilating conscious and energetic transformation in the human body. Working with the CES teaches our energetic being to transduce conscious light through the fluid crystalline structures of the body (water, connective tissue, minerals). The experience is something akin to a float tank or hydrotherapy. All different forms of conscious practice can be incorporated (literally in-bodied) through the crystalline dimensions of the body: e.g. meditation, movement practice, visualization, mantras, etc.
When doing so those various practices come in contact with the spiralling cohesive wisdom of life. The changes embed themselves bodily in a very seamless, elegant, graceful manner.
Historically the vast majority of energetic and spiritual practices have taken place through the human body’s electrical aspects. Think the traditional seven chakra system with the chakras being aligned along the spine: aka central nervous system.
While those traditional practices could be quite effective they often came with a lot of emotional and nervous system “off gassing” in the form of things like abreaction.
The more we learn about the process of human nervous system regulation the more evidence piles up that many traditional therapeutic, energetic, and spiritual practices could actually have the unintended side effect of overwhelming the nervous system and leading to traumatic experience.
Attempting to integrate transformational modes of practices through the electrical nervous system of the body is a dicier proposition. It’s more of a gamble—having had plenty of experiences in that manner I’m speaking from experience there both to the potential strengths but also the limitations and inherent dangers.
When working through the CES by contrast, which as mentioned, connects into the human body through the fluid dimensions of the body, transformational work in one’s being spirals. It slows down the assimilation and integration which is absolutely core to the processes of human system regulation.
Trauma can be defined simply as any experience that is happening too quickly and/or too insanely to be processed at the moment. By the definition even many positive spiritual experiences can be traumatic in that they can leave a residue of overwhelm (“awe”, “holy terror”). They can be too intense and happen too rapidly to process in the moment.
By working with the crystalline spiralling processes things slow down. Like with a labyrinth, it takes time to circle from the outside into the core. That time allows for the “funnelling” of experience; it allows for room to move, breathe, and digest.
In this way the crystalline spiralling processes help us “slow down to speed up.” They actually allow for a deeper acceleration of transformation in our days though the internal experience is of being slowed down—even while things speed up around us.
Water is able to hold memory—memory being a quality of consciousness. Water is sentient in that regard. Liquid crystalline water holds the memory of things in a state of clarity and deep neutrality. Water holds the memory of the future—of possible states of deeper alignment. Liquid crystalline water holds memory in a more pristine, clarified state. That pristine, clarified state is one we can cultivate through working with our own crystalline energy system.
