Synopsis

The research published here―conducted over the course of fifteen years by Inge Just-Nastansky―reveals, through extensive illustrations, a side of nature that otherwise remains hidden to us.

The water drop―that small, transparent vessel―leaves behind remarkable structures after drying, structures in which its “experiences” are imprinted. Salt, minerals, gemstones, and plant organs―such as roots, stems, fruits, and seeds―are submerged in water for weeks or months. At regular intervals, samples are taken and dripped onto a microscope slide. After drying, characteristic and reproducible images of astounding harmony and beauty appear through the microscope. The variety of forms seems inexhaustible. We encounter in the phenomena under the microscope a language of images which in its lawfulness expresses another level of nature’s reality. The understanding of this creative world of life that lies behind the world of appearance develops through a living feeling and understanding of what is given as an active impulse in the images. “The silent language of life” is therefore inaccessible to a logical, abstract approach.

Body fluids (tears, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and serum) are also a subject of research here. We perceive permanent structures with a saltlike character in the region of the nerve-sense system, whereas in the images of blood, we see ever-changing transformations under varying conditions. The necessary condition for everything that comes into existence is water as a mediator between idea and substance. All life processes originate in water.

“The work of Inge Just-Nastansky joins the ranks of the so-called ‘image-creating methods’ that have emerged in anthroposophical natural science. One thinks of the pioneer Lili Kolisko, who studied the coming to rest of liquids in rising images. For example, at full moon and at new moon radically different rising patterns of the silver salt solution are formed. Inge Just-Nastansky also shows the polarity of the droplet image at full moon and new moon. Macroscopy brings balance to microscopy.” ― Armin Husemann, MD

About this title

About the Authors

Inge Just-Nastansky, MD, is a general practitioner based in Stuttgart. Born in Cologne in 1942, she embarked on her medical journey by obtaining her degree in medicine from Hamburg. Following her graduation, she dedicated three years to research at the UKE/Hamburg, followed by six years serving as an assistant doctor in pediatric and adult surgery.

In 1981, she assumed the responsibilities of a large rural practice in the northern Black Forest, where she practiced for eight years. In 1989, her interests shifted towards eurythmy studies in Stuttgart, culminating in the attainment of her diploma in 1993. Subsequently, she pursued a year-long eurythmy therapy training program in Stuttgart.

After a two-year stint as a school doctor, she returned to Stuttgart Bad-Cannstatt to establish her own practice, where she diligently served patients for seventeen years until 2014. Since 2001, she has been actively engaged in water drop research, alongside her lecturing endeavors.

Bernd-Helmut Kröplin (1944–2019) was born in Schleswig, Germany. After a trade apprenticeship as a bricklayer, Kröplin studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig in 1977 and received a PhD. In 1979, Kröplin received a Heisenberg Scholarship of the German Research Community DFG and in 1982 he received an appointment as a professor at the University of Dortmund “Applied numerical methods.” From 1988 to 2010, Kröplin was dean of the Institute for Statics and Dynamics of Aerospace Structures of the University of Stuttgart. As a researcher Kröplin became intrigued by the possibility that consciousness could have an effect on water. Kröplin sponsored a number of experiments that have been published as a book with many high-quality images.

Dr. Armin J. Husemann, MD, born in 1950, worked as a school doctor from 1988 to 1993. He has been a general practitioner in private practice since 1987 in Stuttgart, Germany. Since 1993, he has been the director and a lecturer at the Eugen Kolisko Academy (formerly The Anthroposophic Medical Seminar) in Filderstadt. Dr. Husemann's books translated into English include The Harmony of the Human Body: Musical Principles in Human Physiology (Floris Books, 2003); Human Hearing and the Reality of Music (SteinerBooks, 2015); and Form, Life & Consciousness: An Introduction to Anthroposophic Medicine and Study of the Human Being (SteinerBooks, 2019).

Introduction to the Research

(excerpt)

The inspiration for this research work goes back to an exhibition―"Welt im Tropfen" (world in a drop)―at Stuttgart Central Station in 2001. Professor Dr. Bernd Kröplin, head of the Institute for Statics and Dynamics of Aerospace Structures at the University of Stuttgart, showed enlarged, dried water drops in images on numerous display walls. Various waters, essences, potentized plant juices, saliva drops before and after mobile phone radiation, drop communications, etc. were displayed.

He had taken over the idea and practice of this "drop-image method" with representation in the darkfield microscope from the Stuttgart artist Ruth Kübler with amazement and enthusiasm and worked it out scientifically.1

It involves water drops of various origins, dripped onto a microscope slide, showing an image after drying. These are looked at in a darkfield microscope and photographed at various magnifications.

This quite straightforward, actually simple method of finding out something about water from its drop fascinated me instantly. The question came to me whether plants, minerals, precious stones...objects from the realms of nature leave an image in the dried drop of water when you put them in water for a longer period of time?

I immediately started putting plant stems in water for a week, as well as minerals and gemstones. The water was taken out in a 1 ml disposable syringe and dripped onto a microscope slide with a fine needle. In the brightfield microscope of the practice, after drying, faintly visible, but meaningful, partly plant-like structures actually appeared. The other objects also produced different image formations.

This was astonishing to me beyond measure and aroused my interest. So, in 2002 I began researching these phenomena in a darkfield microscope with a camera attached. The physical processes are described in detail in "Material & Method."

While walking through nature, everything was now questioned: What might it show in the drop image if it is put into water for a certain time?

Plant branches, leaves, barks, flowers, seeds, fruits, roots, minerals, etc. were "set" in water glasses on the laboratory table. Astonishing images emerged, characterized by order, rhythm and harmony, which soon grew into a great abundance.

How could one understand their formation in water on the one hand, and their pictorial message on the other? Minerals do not dissolve in water, neither does the plant stem made of cellulose―so what does the image produce?

Comparative observation became the main task in order to discover a certain order in these rather specific results. An exciting journey of discovery began with obstacles, errors, and astonishing insights into coherent natural phenomena. This is reported.

In the background were the years of preoccupation with the formative forces of nature and their visualization in the realm of substance. The drop pattern method, which Theodor Schwenk (1910–1986), engineer and water flow researcher, had developed until 1967 and which is still used today at the Institute of Flow Sciences in Herrischried to test water quality, is another method. The seminal publication of his water research, Sensitive Chaos: The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air, has been a companion to me for many years.2 In his droplet imaging method, distilled water drips into a glass dish with a homogeneous mixture of sample liquid and the purest glycerin (17.5 ml sample liquid with 2.5 ml of the purest glycerin) every 5 seconds. Due to the increased viscosity of the sample liquid, the droplet pattern grows from the center. In symbol drawings, seven drop image types can be distinguished.3 I had also dealt with the ice crystallizations of Masaru Emoto, MD (1943–2014)4 and the water-sound paintings of Alexander Lauterwasser (b. 1951)5.

Out of medical-humanistic interest, the "image-creating methods" were a concern for me. This should be mentioned briefly: Lili Kolisko (1889–1976) used capillary analysis (called capillary dynamolysis by her, later the rising image method) to prove cosmic forces in metal salt solutions with immersing flow paper. "Sternenwirken in Erdenstoffen" (Star work in earth substances) is, among many other publications with pictorial plates, the title of a small paper published by her in Stuttgart on March 30, 1927.6 In it she documents a fraction of her many years of work at the Biological Institute of the Goetheanum and the Clinical Therapeutic Institute in Stuttgart.

The "capillary-dynamic blood examination" (rise and fall method) according to Werner Kaelin, MD (1888–1973) gave me valuable diagnostic indications for patients over many years through the research laboratory of Geerd Seelig (1932–2015) in Winterbach/Gütersloh.

Out of diagnostic interest, I worked for a while with the "sensitive blood crystallization" (small image method) of Dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (1899–1961) and Alla Selawry, MD (1913–1992). Here it is the copper chloride which, in solution as a reagent on living forces of a drop of blood, forms various organ-specific crystallization shapes in the drying process―this in a circular image area, viewed with a magnifying glass.

These different ways of visualizing living forces are described in numerous publications by the researchers.
