more familiar concepts of tempera- ture. The movement of temperature in its eternal cycles is also the activator of life and death, of increase and decrease, decompo- sition and renewal. It is temperature, or rather the innate energies functioning under the ban- ner of temperature, that produce the pulsations which punctuate and control all life's processes. We think of evolution as a continuous process, which it is on the whole, although it also has an important discontinuous aspect. If it were not for these energy pulsations which at one moment act to dissociate and at another to recombine both energy and matter, there would be no ordering instruments by which the countless individualities and qualities could be created that make up life as we know it. Thus the cyclical movement of temperature can be viewed as individuality-evoking motion which creates episodal conditions conducive to the evolution of new life forms or the renewal of existing ones.
The defining factors of temperature are the two antitheses of heat and cold, their extreme limits being the transcendental aspects of infi- nite heat and infinite cold. As we have seen, the achievement of either limit is impossible in the physical world, since the attainment of one would totally negate the existence of the other, while at the same time negating itself. It would then have no counterpart, no polarity, no dual- ity, and the wholeness comprising the interac- tion of heat and cold at a physical level would cease to exist. Through the neglect of dialectic
thinking in science, through which both sides of the coin, as it were, are taken into account, it would then have become a 'Law' in the same way that science speaks of the 'Law of Gravity' while discounting the counter-aspect of Levity (see fig. 4.6, chapter 3).
While there may indeed be very high tem- peratures elsewhere in the Universe, here on Earth the temperatures conducive to growth and development are relatively low and lie within a fairly narrow band-width. In the main, natural growth takes place in moderate temper- ature conditions, large or abrupt variations being harmful to most organisms. Owing to our blinkered education and the technology arising from it, we are accustomed to think of, and accept as natural, temperatures of an extremely high order. We generate our power using combustion and hot fission. Our form of chemistry is coercion-chemistry, in which we cre- ate compounds and power our machines using heat, often under extremely high pressures.
Nature, on the other hand, has little construc- tive use for high pressures and temperatures, except as a means of relieving stresses, e.g. vol- canoes and earthquakes, and instead employs
cold fusion in her cooperation-chemistry. This is
the cool chemistry of mutual suction or attrac- tion between opposite polarities and charges, in which under a partial vacuum - the spacial and energetic vacuity between attracting bodies - various elements come together to create life.
Were it not for such a vacuum, we would not be able to breathe. In 1908 the German sur- geon, Prof. Ernst Ferdinand Sauerbruch, discov- ered this region of low pressure between the pleura and the surface of the lungs and

explained it to his superior, Professor Mikolitsch, as follows:
In the enclosed and healthy lung a low-pressure zone exists, which maintains the pulmonary cavity and enables the lungs to expand with inhalation and contract with exhalation. Were there no vacuum between the surface of the lungs and the pleura, no intake of breath, no resistanceless expansion of the lungs would be possible. Without this partial vac- uum, which causes the lining of the lungs to cling to the interior of the rib-cage, the lungs would collapse and death could follow. Should this biological vacu- ity be filled with normal, atmospheric pressure through any form of perforation, then everything would suffocate.1
When Sauerbruch had finished speaking, Mikolitsch old him he was out of his mind and dismissed him without notice. So much for Mikolitsch's open, objective, scientific opinion, a response many other discoverers have suf- fered at the hands of orthodoxy! The currently accepted and one-sided view of this heat-cold duality, however, is that heat rises and expands, and cold falls and contracts, This is certainly valid for all technical systems and where this applies we shall call them tech- nical heat and technical cold, for want of a bet- ter definition. However, this view is only part of the truth for Nature also uses the opposite form, namely rising and expanding cold and falling and concentrating heat. Relative to the vast expanse of the Earth, we humans are little more than viruses, if that. Our general perspective therefore borders on the analytical, since from our low vantage point we cannot observe the whole, but only the smaller parts in our immediate vicinity. By raising our station, as it were, we can see that this other, opposite temperature relationship also exists, Viewed from space, a high-energy state of risen and expanded cold, we can see that a condition of falling and concentrating heat gradually evolves as we approach the Earth's surface, where it supposedly reaches its maximum in the Earth's interior, depending on whether the Earth is viewed as a solid or a hollow body. So far neither of the latter propositions has been proven incontrovertibly.
The difference between these two forms of temperature most commonly experienced,
relates to the temperature inversions that occur between night and day, between winter and summer, or a combination of both diurnal and seasonal temperature fluctuations. During the daytime increasing warmth is experienced as we descend to the bottom of a valley (falling and concentrating heat), whereas it gradually becomes cooler (rising and expanding cold) as we ascend. At night the process reverses (it is more apparent in winter). As we descend the air becomes chillier and denser (falling and concentrating cold), whereas when we ascend the air warms (rising and expanding heat).
It is therefore evident that two different forms of natural temperature/density relation exist, one of which has as yet neither been recognised nor investigated by science, although according to Viktor Schauberger it is the predominant form and the one that makes life possible. Our present technology is there- fore completely unbalanced as a result.
These two different forms of temperature, or temperament as Viktor says in reflection of their ethereal origins, have opposite functions and are both active in Nature simultaneously. For evolution and development to proceed unimpeded, however, the higher, uplifting form must predominate. This we will call Type A, representing the collective attributes of ris- ing and expanding cold and falling and con- centrating heat, which acting together have an integrating, life-affirming function, leading to cold, formative, metabolic processes. It arises through the 'original' motion of the Earth and can be induced mechanically through the artificial, but naturalesque creation of the cycloid-spiral-space-curve motion (radial-axial) discussed in previous chapters. By this means bio-magnetism can also be generated, a form of energy of which science is presently ignorant.
Conversely, Type B temperatures where heat rises and expands and cold falls and con- centrates, have a disintegrative, life-negating function and give rise to warm, decomposive, metabolic activity. Being associated with the analysing energies of electricism, when gener- ated naturally, Nature makes use of Type B for the proper organic decomposition of previ- ously living matter, i.e. for decay without putrefaction.

between these two types of temperature, in the later wars of the 1930s and early 1940s Viktor Schauberger developed the 'Klimator', a space- heater/cooler that functioned according to nat- ural law and was the size of a hat. With the use of this machine, instead of the usual conditions of cold feet and hot head experienced in winter and symptomatic of technically controlled environments, warmer air was generated at lower levels and cooler air higher up. It was also able to create the reverse conditions in summer. In the later chapter 21 on implosion this will be addressed more fully. Type B temperature can be generated by ex- cessive heat - man-made creation of deserts and overclearing of forests. When exploited mecha- nically in machines or devices not constructed according to Nature's system of dynamics, it gradually disturbs the delicate balance of health in all organic bodies, making them sus- ceptible to cancer and other diseases. This is mainly due to disturbances in the metabolism and therefore in the healthy formation of the life-fluids of water, blood or sap. Unfortunately for us and the rest of the environment, today it is Type B that is exclusively in widespread use.
