The Life And Times Of Viktor Schauberger

By Tisha Greer


Since time immemorial, there have been several unsung heroes who set out to change peoples lives and life on earth. One of these heroes is Viktor Schauberger, a man with no formal education but nonetheless well read who spent most of his life observing and learning from nature. The beauty in the simplicity of his insights and applications and the way they are harmonious with nature makes his works and ideas deserve to be more recognized. In fact, the world is desperate for technology that is inventions-based to become the industrial norm, such as those of Viktor.

Viktor was born in Austria on 30th June 1885 from a family of foresters. His father, grandfather, great-grandfather, as well as the father before him were all forest wardens. As a kid, he showed a lot of interest in anything to do with nature. From his background, he learnt to trust his intuitive awareness and observations, just like the fathers before him.

From his adult life researches, Viktor got the ability to explain the significance of the properties of water. In addition, he devised numerous methods for maintaining water at its optimum vitality and purity level. Viktor observed the underlining pattern in the universe originating from two polarities. He saw how water moved and swirled naturally in creeks and streams.

Through observing the manner in which free-flowing natural water usually turn in an expanding and tightening vortex pattern, Viktor ended up with several ideas. One of them is that the two polarities that can be seen in the spiral patterns of nature make up the necessities of life. Life takes place in an expanding spiral going upwards, then reduces while decreasing in the receding opposite spiral. Viktor came to a conclusion that in nature, the forces will always cooperate in harmony, creating the foundations of life.

Later in his life, Viktor utilized these observations to come up with designs that could generate motion and power. The designs worked in harmony with nature as they could in no way make toxic emissions. He believed that nature is the utmost teacher, thus all technological work should be aimed at copying nature as opposed to correcting it.

Viktor afterwards conducted research on how the decline of river Rhine took place, finding out that it was an example of the aftermath of convection regulation of water and deforestation. All the today's degenerated and mismanaged rivers initially were mighty rivers with waters so clear that the surface could be observed at depths of several meters.

The declination of river Rhine began when the Swiss Alps, which are the source of the river, underwent deforestation. This led to the disturbance of the ecological balance, leading to the silting up of the river. Meanders and bends were straightened to facilitate the increment of speed of water flow as well as to enable the river clear off its path.

Sadly, the genius and knowledge of Viktor Schauberger became perceived as a threat powers in the society and its corporate ideologies, and he died a despaired and broken man. Under coercion and threat, his lifework and patents were signed over to men who discarded what could be used for good while exploiting the rest for destruction and greed.
