- REIKO: We have read your book The Message from Water,
and we introduced it on our website in our August issue (see ''Conscious
Water Crystals: The Power of Prayer Made Visible.'') It has been our most
popular article, with its readership increasing every week, and has raised
many questions.
-
- You mentioned in your book how you would type out words
on a piece of paper and paste these written words onto a bottle, and see
how the water reacted to the words -- what kind of crystals were formed
from the words. From your research, are you able to discern whether the
reaction of the water came from the vibration of the actual words that
were pasted onto the bottles, or whether the intention of the person who
was pasting the words onto the bottle influenced the experiment in any
way?
-
- DR. EMOTO: This is one of the more difficult areas to
clarify. However, from continuing these experiments we have come to the
conclusion that the water is reacting to the actual words. For example,
for our trip to Europe we tried using the words ''thank you'' and ''you
fool'' in German. The people on our team who took the actual photographs
of the water crystals did not understand the German for ''you fool,'' and
yet we were able to obtain exactly the same kind of results in the different
crystal formations based on the words used.
-
- REIKO: Have you found that distance made any difference
when people were praying over water? For example, if people in Japan were
to pray over water in Russia, would this be different from people praying
over water that is right in front of them?
-
- DR. EMOTO: We have only experimented once with that in
the book. But from that experiment, distance did not seem to matter. The
intention and prayers of the person still influenced the water. We have
not yet tried further experiments from a long distance. However, my feeling
is that distance would not make much of a difference. What would make a
difference is the purity of intent of the person doing the praying. The
higher the purity of intent, the less of a difference the distance itself
would make.
-
- REIKO: Have you seen any difference between one person
praying over water versus a whole group of people praying over water?
-
- DR. EMOTO: Since the water reflects the composite energy
of what is being sent to it, the crystalline structure reflects the composite
vibrations of the group. So one person praying reflects the energy or intention
of that one person. In terms of how powerful the effect can be, if you
have one person praying with a deep sense of clarity and purity, the crystalline
structure will be clear and pure. And even though you may have a large
group of people, if their intention as a group is not cohesive, you end
up with an incohesive structure in the water. However, if everyone is united
together, you will find a clear, beautiful crystal, like one created by
the prayer of a single person of deep purity.
-
- In one of our experiments, we had some water on a table,
and 17 participants all stood in a circle around a table holding hands.
Then each of the participants spoke a beautiful word of their choice to
the water. Words like unity, love, and friendship. We took before-and-after
shots and were able to obtain some beautiful crystalline structures as
a result of this. I have some slides that I will be showing of these crystals
in my upcoming European tour.
-
- REIKO: Is the water influenced immediately, or is there
a time lag?
-
- DR. EMOTO: In these cases we would freeze the water right
away, so we could say that the water is changed instantaneously.
-
- REIKO: Have you ever tested other human body fluids,
such as saliva, blood, urine etc?
-
- DR. EMOTO: Yes, we certainly have. However, fluids with
other elements in them, like seawater, blood and urine, do not form crystals.
However, we can dilute them with distilled water to something like 10 to
the power of -12 or -20 or so. This dilutes the component of other elements
in the fluid to the point where we can freeze the sample and obtain crystals.
-
- REIKO: Could you then see the effect that energetic healing
or prayer has on a person by looking at the crystals formed by their blood
or urine?
-
- DR. EMOTO: As far as experiments related to the human
body are concerned, there are a lot of subtle influences that also need
to be taken into consideration. So although we are looking at this, we
have not publicized any information yet. However, you can look forward
to hearing about our findings on this in the future
-
- REIKO: If we could imbue water with the energy of various
words, for example, with the word, ''health,'' could we then use the water
that has that vibration in it and use it to do things like grow food, water
plants, etc?
-
- DR. EMOTO: We have not tried this, but some people who
have read the book are experimenting with bottling tap water and taping
words like ''love'' and ''appreciation'' on the bottle and using that water
to water their plants, or to put cut flowers in. They are finding that
their cut flowers are lasting much longer, and that the plants in the garden
are much more radiant.
-
- REIKO: Once a certain vibration is introduced to the
water, how long does the water ''remember'' that crystalline structure?
-
- DR. EMOTO: This will be different depending on the original
structure of the water itself. Tap water will lose its memory quickly.
We refer to the crystalline structure of water as ''clusters.'' The smaller
the clusters, the longer the water will retain its memory. If there is
too much space between the clusters, other information could easily infiltrate
this space, making it hard for the clusters to hold the integrity of the
information. Other microorganisms could also enter this space. A tight
bonding structure is best for maintaining the integrity of information.
-
- REIKO: What kind of words would create smaller clusters
and what kind of words would create larger clusters?
-
- DR. EMOTO: Slang words like ''you fool'' destroy clusters.
You would not see any crystals in these cases. Negative phrases and words
create large clusters or will not form clusters, and positive, beautiful
words and phrases create small, tight clusters.
-
- REIKO: You say that some negatives do not form clusters,
but we see from your photos that they do still form characteristic patterns.
How would you classify these patterns?
-
- DR. EMOTO: Think of it in terms of vibration. It's easy
to understand that language -- the spoken word -- has a vibration. Well,
written words also have a vibration. Anything in existence has a vibration.
If I were to draw a circle, the vibration of a circle would be created.
Drawing a cross would create the vibration of a cross. So if I write the
letters
L O V E, then these letters put out the vibration of love. Water can be
imprinted with these vibrations. Beautiful words have beautiful, clear
vibrations. But negative words put out ugly, incoherent vibrations which
do not form clusters. Language is not something artificial, but rather
is something that exists naturally. I believe that language is created
by nature.
-
- REIKO: Does that mean that every word has its own signature
vibration or cluster that is unique to itself?
-
- DR. EMOTO: Yes. During our evolution, we learned what
sounds were dangerous, what sounds were soothing and safe, and what sounds
were pleasurable, and so on. We slowly learned about various vibrations
of the laws of nature. We learned this through instinct and through experience.
We accumulated this information over time. We started out with some simple
sounds like ''a'' or ''u'' or ''e,'' which evolved into more complex sounds
like ''love.'' And these positive words create ''natural'' crystalline
structures -- which are all based on the hexagon.
-
- In fact, the structure of all evolution in nature, from
an informational perspective, is based on the hexagon. The reason hexagons
are formed has to do with the chemical reaction of the benzene ring. I
believe that anything that lacks this basic hexagonal structure is out
of accord with the laws of nature and holds a destructive vibration. So
when we look at things that do not exist naturally -- things that have
been created artificially -- many of them lack this hexagonal structure
and so they have, I believe, a destructive vibration.
-
- This principle is what I think makes swearing and slang
words destructive. These words are not in accordance with the laws of nature.
So, for example, I think you would probably find higher rates of violent
crime in areas where a lot of negative language is being used. Just as
the Bible says, first there was the Word, and God created all of Creation
from the Word.
-
- So words actually convert the vibrations of nature into
sound. And each language is different. Japanese has its own set of vibrations
that differs from American. Nature in America is different from nature
in Japan. An American cedar is different from a Japanese cedar, so the
vibrations coming from these words are different. In this way, nothing
else holds the same vibrations as the word arigato. In Japanese, arigato
means ''thank you.'' But even when there is this mutual underlying meaning,
arigato and thank you create different crystalline structures. Every word
in every language is unique and exists only in that language.
-
- REIKO: Have you come across a particular word or phrase
in your research that you have found to be most helpful in cleaning up
the natural waters of the world?
-
- DR. EMOTO: Yes. There is a special combination that seems
to be perfect for this, which is love plus the combination of thanks and
appreciation reflected in the English word gratitude. Just one of these
is not enough. Love needs to be based in gratitude, and gratitude needs
to be based in love. These two words together create the most important
vibration. And it is even more important that we understand the value of
these words. For example, we know that water is described as H2O. If we
were to look at love and gratitude as a pair, gratitude is the H and love
is the O. Water is the basis that not only supports but also allows the
existence of life. In my understanding of the concept of yin and yang,
in the same way that there is one O and two Hs, we also need one part yang/love
to two parts yin/gratitude, in order to come to a place of balance in the
equation.
-
- Love is an active word and gratitude is passive. When
you think of gratitude -- a combination of appreciation and thankfulness
-- there is an apologetic quality. The Japanese word for gratitude is kan-sha,
consisting of two Chinese characters: kan, which means feeling, and sha,
apology. It's coming from a reverential space, taking a step or two back.
I believe that love coming from this space is optimal love, and may even
lead to an end to the wars and conflicts in the world. Kan-sha is inherent
in the substance H2O -- an essential element for life.
-
- REIKO: So if we were to develop a car that could run
on water instead of gasoline, and return the water to the atmosphere and
subsequently back into space in this way, would that be one way of fulfilling
our task?
-
- DR. EMOTO: I think that would be a wonderful thing, and
for the sake of preserving Mother Nature it is the direction that we need
to go. However, since water is the mirror reflecting our level of consciousness,
a large percentage of the people on the planet, at least 10 percent of
the people, need to have the love and the kan-sha awareness. When they
do, then the time will come when water can be used to replace gasoline.
And the reason I say 10 percent is that this ratio is mirrored in nature.
When we look at the world of bacteria, for example, there are 10 percent
good bacteria, 10 percent bad, and a majority of 80 percent opportunistic
bacteria that could go either way. In looking at the various environmental
issues we are faced with, and the tasks that we need to fulfill for the
planet, if we could get more than 10 percent of the people consciously
aware, than I believe we could pull the 80 percent in that direction, too.
-
- And so I believe that the people who are following a
spiritual path are promoting peace for the planet and for other people.
If we could only unite on this level of consciousness, then we will be
there.
-
- I feel that my book The Message From Water has given
birth to a convincing message through a common language for the whole world.
Not because I wrote it, but because I know it was birthed through kan-sha
toward mankind. I think this is why so many people from other countries
want to interview me about the book. I am being invited to give talks at
six different European locations. Things have been coming in non-stop from
abroad.
-
- REIKO: Do you believe that water itself is conscious
and is reacting to the words?
-
- DR. EMOTO: I understand that many of your readers are
people interested in spiritual matters, and I would like to answer this
question from that perspective. I believe that prior to Adam and Eve water
itself held the consciousness of God -- that God's intention was put into
the medium of water, and that this was used in the creation of Earth and
Nature. In other words, all of the information needed for God's Creation
was reflected in the water.
-
- And then we -- Adam and Eve -- were placed on Earth to
be the caretakers for this Creation of God. I believe that water held the
consciousness of God until then, but that after the caretakers were placed
on Earth, water became an empty vessel to mirror and reflect what was in
the heart. It became a container to carry energy and information. Therefore,
since this time, I think water has taken on the quality of simply reflecting
the energies and thoughts that it is exposed to; that it no longer has
its own consciousness. Water reflects the consciousness of the human race.
-
- REIKO: Would you tell us your philosophical thoughts
about what you believe these water crystals really are?
-
- DR. EMOTO: After the book was published, I was wondering
about this, and I came to the realization that these crystals are spirits.
There are many parallels. When ice melts, the crystalline structure becomes
an illusion. It's there -- and yet it's not there, because you can no longer
see it.
-
- Similarly, when a person dies their body loses several
grams of weight -- what some people think of this as the weight of the
soul. But then we can often visually see them. I think that the soul has
mass, and that it returns to water molecules. And because it has mass,
it is affected by the gravitational pull of the earth. And so sometimes
the soul cannot transition over to the other side.
-
- In Buddhism, we talk about attaining sattori, or reaching
enlightenment. People who attain sattori do not become ghosts. They are
able to achieve a certain stage of development at the soul level and return
to God for a while before they move on to their next assignment
-
- We traveled here to Earth on the water crystals of spheres
of ice [Editor's Note: You will hear more about this amazing phenomenon
in an upcoming issue of the Spirit of Ma'at on the subject of water.] Earth
is not our native home. There was nothing here. So these souls can return
to their native homes for awhile. That is sattori, or enlightenment. However,
most people on the planet are not able to attain enlightenment. To reach
enlightenment means to be able to completely let go of the ego and our
worldly attachments.
-
- In the past 100 years the world's population has increased
from 1 billion to 6 billion. During these 100 years, war and capitalism
has dominated the planet. Rather than being able to detach from our desires,
the opposite has been true. Our desires have grown and grown. Very few
people have been able to attain enlightenment in this environment. Few
souls have been able to go ''home'' and I believe they have remained on
Earth in the form of water. This connects into the concept of reincarnation,
where these spirits keep falling back to Earth and need to redo their lives
here.
-
- REIKO: So when a person dies, if they are unable to attain
sattori at that time, their soul remains on this planet as water?
-
- DR. EMOTO: That is what I believe, yes. The Japanese
character for spirit is a combination of the words ''rain'' and ''soul.''
People who have seen ghosts report seeing them in water or in places where
there is a lot of humidity. It's as if the imprint of the soul, which is
in the form of water, suddenly takes form when surrounded by water or moisture
-- much like a mirage.
-
- And so, looking at the pictures of the water crystals
and the impact they are having, I came to the realization that these themselves
are ghosts. Up until now, I had thought of ghosts as something to be frightened
of, something that we could do nothing about. But watching these crystals,
I realized that by simply projecting beautiful music and words onto them,
the crystals or ghosts become beautiful. If that's the case, there's nothing
to be frightened of. We need to let everybody know about this, and all
use beautiful words and offer beautiful music, and create beauty in the
environment.
-
- By receiving beautiful thoughts and feelings and words
and music, our ancestral spirits get lighter and are now able to make the
transition ''home.'' When we consider this, we can see the importance of
traditions like Obon [a Japanese summer tradition where ancestral spirits
are invited back to spend time with the family, and the ancestors are taken
care of and respected].
-
- When we are alive, the human body is at approximately
36 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature of the fluids in the body.
When we die, this goes to zero degrees Celsius. When we die and go to the
other side, crossing the river, we are no longer able to move our bodies.
But the crystalline structure of our soul emerges. It's like water. When
water turns to ice, the crystalline structure becomes visible, but it also
becomes immobile. So ''crystal'' equals ''spirit.''

- REIKO: Thank you very much.
