Why does water always take a winding course in streams and rivers? Do common principles and rhythms underlie its movement - whether it be in the sea, in a plant, or even in the blood of a human being? In this seminal and thought-provoking work, the laws apparent in the subtle patterns of water in movement are shown to be the same as those perceptible in the shaping of bones, muscles and a myriad of other forms in nature. Fully illustrated, Sensitive Chaos reveals the unifying forces that underlie all living things. The author observes and explains such phenomena as the flight of birds, the formation of internal organs such as the heart, eye and ear, as well as mountain ranges and river deltas, weather and space patterns, and even the formation of the human embryo. A perennial bestseller since publication, Sensitive Chaos is an essential book for anyone interested in the mysteries of life on earth.

Water's flow constantly links life and death. It is the mediator between the two, and its surface provides a common frontier in nature where they meet. Death is continuously being overcome there." It is the living movement of water that makes life on earth possible. Based on spiritual science and on their own numerous experiments, Theodor and Wolfram Schwenk show that earth is a living organism and that water is its sense organ, which perceives vital cosmic influences and transmitting them to earthly life. The authors' approach to the current water and environmental crises goes beyond problem-oriented and piecemeal band-aid solutions; it suggests that we need a new and radical understanding of water, a revolutionary consciousness that we must reach if the earth is to remain alive. This pioneering classic on water is back in print and more relevant than ever before.
