Life Before Qatuan: Looking at how I ‘found’ Quantum Archaeoastronomy.

This inquiry touches on profound concepts that intertwine the physical properties of water with philosophical and metaphysical ideas about consciousness and the essence of life. The notion that water could be the embodiment of consciousness is a captivating idea that has been explored in various philosophical and scientific contexts.

Water, with its unique ability to resonate and carry frequency, vibration, and energy, is indeed central to life as we know it. It’s a medium through which the fundamental forces of nature are expressed, and it plays a crucial role in the biological processes of all living organisms. In some philosophical and spiritual traditions, water is seen as a symbol of purity and fluidity, and its ever-changing form can be seen as a metaphor for the dynamic and interconnected nature of existence.

In terms of describing water as the embodiment of consciousness, one could draw from the field of posthuman feminist phenomenology, which suggests rethinking embodiment as watery, challenging conventional individualism and anthropocentrism [1]. This perspective views bodies of water as more than just physical entities; they are part of a larger hydro-commons, interconnected and interdependent.

As for the ‘REAL’ architecture of the landscape, we seem to be seeking a deeper understanding of the environment that goes beyond the physical design and into the realm of how landscapes interact with societal and ecological systems. The field of landscape architecture indeed engages with these complex relationships, and there is a growing recognition of the profession’s role in addressing social justice and environmental sustainability [5]. This holistic approach considers the landscape as a living entity, shaped by and shaping the consciousness of individuals and communities.

Connecting these dots, one might describe water as a living embodiment of consciousness through its omnipresence in the environment and its fundamental role in sustaining life and shaping landscapes. It’s a concept that invites us to consider the interconnectedness of all things and the potential for landscapes to reflect and influence the collective consciousness of society. The pursuit of understanding the above through landscape architecture seems to align with this broader, more integrated view of the environment as a reflection of our collective being and consciousness.

In ‘basics’ then, we can visualize how water encapsulates in terms of frequency, vibration and energy, everything that we know, including ‘light’. Each of those ‘manifestations’ take a form that we can describe geometrically, observe the energy that creates the form by means of vibration and recognise it either internally or externally, microcosm/ macrocosm… if indeed water encapsulates ‘everything’ we know, or ‘could’ know, does it, ‘IS’ it, the living embodiment of consciousness?

If so, how can we describe it?

When I went to read for my degrees in Landscape Architecture, I wondered when we we’re going to talk about the ‘REAL’ architecture of the landscape. We never did. This post is about how I connected the dots to understand what I was looking for, which today is becoming recognised as the field of Quantum Archaeoastronomy.
