Aheny River, Co. Kerry, Ireland

A gorge and small waterfall on the Aheny River, inland from the charming town of Kenmare.  The whole land seemed so alive and full of vibrant energy, as each turn and twist of the small road brought new heart-tugs.  I loved this wee spot with the oak trees overhanging the gorge.

I love the writing and ideas of the Austrian forester and water engineer Viktor Schauberger, who pioneered ideas about water, energy and consciousness in the 1930s that are only just beginning to be appreciated.

“…As time passed I began to play a game with water’s secret powers; I surrendered my so-called free consciousness and allowed the water to take possession of it for a while. Little by little this game turned into a profoundly earnest endeavour, because I realised that one could detach one’s own consciousness from the body and attach it to that of the water. When my own consciousness was eventually returned to me, then the water’s most deeply concealed psyche often revealed the most extraordinary things to me.  As a result of this investigation, a researcher was born who could dispatch his consciousness on a voyage of discovery, as it were. In this way I was able to experience things that had escaped other people’s notice, because they were unaware that a human being is able to send forth his free consciousness into those places the eyes cannot see. By practising this blindfolded vision, I eventually developed a bond with mysterious Nature, whose essential being I then slowly learnt to perceive and understand…”
