"The precise nature of the element in which the Earth island floated came to be a matter of concern and much speculation. At first it was assumed to be simply water; later it was defined as "water or some other liquid,” and finally it was believed to be a liquid not unlike the composition of the waters directly under the firmament or lower heaven, which were supposed to be a crystalline, congealed water, specially combined to resist the flame of the Sun, Moon, and galaxy of stars, to be itself full of fire, and yet not to burn. It was water, yet not water, air yet not air, fire, yet not fire. Probably this was an attempt to describe the medium in which the Island Moon floated, all sustaining, yet clear."

"Thus Thales poses Water, Anaximander the Indefinite, Anaximenes Air, and Herakleitos Fire, as the principle of all things. Here we have an ensemble, Chaos and the four elements, but what is to be made of it?"

"Equally certain however is the fact, perhaps even more at that time the water on the whole earth was much thinner than today. Because of this thinness the water could be directed by the germinal energy used by the Atlanteans into technical services which today are impossible. As a result of the increased density of the water it has become impossible to move and to direct it in such ingenious ways as once were possible. From this it must be sufficiently clear that the civilization of the Atlantean period was radically different from ours."

"...Gilbert Ling, whose monumental contributions first stirred my interest in water. Ling has been far ahead of his time. His pioneering work opened the eyes of many scientists to the realization that water is not merely a background carrier of the common molecules of life; it is a central player in all of life’s processes. Sadly, his many contributions have gone unrecognized, and his willingness to challenge science at its core has made him something of a pariah. From the time I first met Gilbert in the mid-1980s, he has continued to inspire me; if anyone is responsible for seeding the creation of this book, that person is Gilbert Ling."

... Gilbert Ling who taught me that water in the cell is nothing like water in a glass"

"It will also be understood that the physical nature of an Atlantean was quite different from that of a contemporary man. The Atlantean took into himself water which could be used by the life force inherent in his own body in a manner quite different from that possible in today's physical body. It was due to this that the Atlantean could consciously employ his physical powers in an entirely different way from a man of today. He had, so to speak, the means to increase the physical powers in himself when he needed them for what he was doing. In order to have an accurate conception of the Atlanteans one must know that their ideas of fatigue and the depletion of forces were quite different from those of present-day man.
