Minni Jain - on The Water of Consciousness

 

Is global warming a ‘consciousness problem’? Consciousness is generally understood as the state of being aware of ‘oneself’ and one's surroundings. To be in this state one has to have life—or be ‘alive’. There is of course more to ‘consciousness’ than just the physical manifestation of it. There is the ‘awareness of self’ and of all that is interconnected across a cosmic level going far beyond an anthropocentric definition of it. Whichever view you hold, the basic and essential material foundation of life (and the physical manifestation of consciousness) is water.

 

Is water's role only that of a medium for biological processes? Does lack of water lead to a ‘loss’ of consciousness? Do people living in water rich areas have MORE consciousness? Do people facing poverty and hunger have LESS consciousness? Or do they get a fast track into understanding consciousness and interconnectedness? Through the example of community driven ground water retention projects across the planet and how they are helping deal with global warming,  Minni Jain will be asking questions around  ‘consciousness’ and our experience of it in a world that is fast losing its understanding of life’s natural processes and of ‘consciousness’ itself.

 

Minni Jain is the Operations Director of the Flow Partnership (www.theflowpartnership.org) working globally with locally community-led management of floods and droughts using simple, successful, low-cost, traditional methods. She also runs Water Schools (www.waterschools.org) a global platform for community sharing of successful water retention practices. Minni is also the co-author of The Language of Water: Ancient techniques and community stories for a water secure future(available at all bookshops and online).
