MASARU EMOTO'S "HIDDEN MESSAGES IN WATER"

Review by Paki Dechen Palmo

                 Masaru Emoto's ground-breaking approach and work with water, as seen in the movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know?," is a timely "message in a bottle" -- except that the bottle in this case is a water crystal.

                 Emoto is a mystic who is also a scientist.  His mission is to wake us up to the magical, mysterious properties of water, i.e., since our bodies are composed of 70% liquid, ourselves.  His work documents, in stunning photographic images, the way water can "read" words, "hear" music, "transmit" information, not to mention heal and help life exist on our little beleagured planet."

             As if we needed proof, Emoto's photos show, over and over again, that "love and gratitude are fundamental to the phenomenon of life in all of nature."  He experiments with the effects of positive, negative, and even indifferent words and thoughts on water.  The conclusion? 

               "Our emotions and feelings have an effect on the world moment by moment.  If you send out words and images of creativity, then you will be contributing to the creation of a beautiful world.  However, emitting messages of destruction, you contribute to the destruction of the universe."

                   "Pollution originated within our own consciousness," Emoto writes.  With this book, we have the images and hopefully the inspiration to clean up our collective/individual, outer and inner messes.
