In this vortex or flow-brake, a trout is able to float motionlessly. Whenever it intensifies the transformative processes with the aid of the cycloid curves of i t s gills, it is accelerated upstream at the speed of lightning. This is yet another clue as to how naturalesquely-built aircraft and submarines can also move with equal speed. Every plant is an extremely efficient producer of water. On no account is it any kind of water-consumer. The root-tips of all species of plant are hermetically enclosed by protoplasmic structures, which even gaseous elements are unable to penetrate. The formation of the later structure with more highly evolved basic elements is only possible through this hygienic filtration of all physical raw material (solid, liquid and gaseous). This growth will be impaired, for example, if root-protoplasms are etched away by artificial fertiliser, or if they wither or become porous. Inferior substances are then up-taken and inaugurate cancerous decay. In trees this begins inside the base of the trunk and spreads, blackening the branches, which rot right through to the pith where they spring from the trunk. To an alert forester this is an indication that the proper mixture of species is out of balance and that the accumulation of geospheric soil-potential has been disturbed or is taking place unnaturalesquely. Every cell creates its own protoplasmic nucleus autonomously. Every protoplasmic structure generates new protoplasmic energies for its own use. This explains, for example, how a large chestnut tree can effortlessly counteract the heavy weight of its leaves, flowers and nuts, which collectively weigh several tonnes. In such a tree-community millions of minute power-stations operate jointly in order to maintain the carrying capacity, tractive energies and orientational force, i.e. the life-force. This is the reason why sap supposedly rises in trees often a hundred metres high. This is none other than the consequence of a rhythm against which a deracinated humanity, imprisoned within walls of its own creation90, toils by the sweat of its brow. All visible phenomena, it is immaterial whether these relate to a solid, liquid or gaseous product of growth, or a species of water, blood or sap, are the reversionary products of primary products of synthesis. It is an outfall of energetically depleted matter which possesses too little intrinsic potential and solidifies under the influence of light and heat. Due to the cycloid motion of the Earth they are able to produce the physical seeds for their own reproduction and, as the finished products of raw materials, they die off as the plasmolytic forces are extinguished. Eventually falling back into the Earth, they enter a zone isolated from light, air and heat. There they are decomposed by analysing and vibrating energies in preparation for their contribution towards the build-up of the soil's metaphysical and energetic potential. 90
Here the German word 'freigemauerten' is used. A 'Freimauerer' is a freemason and therefore in view of Viktor Schauberger's active disdain for the activities of the 'be-wigged and be-gowned', this phrase could also be interpreted as 'imprisoned by Freemasonry'. - Ed.
