In my last few blog posts, I discussed some ideas presented by the authors Masaru Emoto, Leonard Horowitz and Michael Tyrell. It must be noted that I have barely scratched the surface of the ideas they have discussed in their works. For more details about these and related ideas, I recommend a more in-depth study of their publications, which include books, articles, and audio and video presentations. It is not my intention to go into a detailed discussion of the entire contents of their works. I have discussed here no more than may be found in a book review or, perhaps, an academic dissertation – citing their works under fair use guidelines.

That said, I would like to recapitulate, summarize and elaborate upon some of the ideas previously discussed to enable the reader to come to a better understanding of the deeper significance of the themes being discussed here. These are tough concepts to understand and need to be revisited, chewed and digested before they can truly be appreciated.

Water has structure and memory

One of the basic ideas emerging from these discussions is the revelation that water is not what it appears to be. It is not simply the bland liquid we use to slake our thirst and, for the most part, take for granted, unless one is stranded in a desert with no oasis in sight.

Water, in fact, has a distinct molecular shape – a tetrahedron – that enables water molecules to assume invisible (for the most part) microscopic structures. Structured water behaves like a “liquid crystal superconductor of sound and light” (Horowitz, Leonard G., The Book of 528: Prosperity Key of Love, Tettrahedron, 2011, p. 166). The form of structured water was captured by Masaru Emoto, in his experiments with freezing ice crystals under various conditions. Emoto claims to have established that not only does water have the ability to structure itself, microscopically, it also appears to display one of the primary characteristics of consciousness – response to external stimuli. The hidden structure of water appears to be affected by external circumstances – and even by human actions, words and, it appears, even thoughts. Water appears to have some sort of connection with human consciousness in that its hidden structure and ability to crystallize when frozen are affected by human consciousness. This concept is so mind-blowingly remarkable that it is worth thinking about and discussing extensively as a subject in itself.

If it is true that water has the ability to retain and “remember” various types of information, then the implications of that possibility are profound. Hopefully, such an understanding will inspire a more reverential attitude towards the world’s water supplies, particularly with regard to dealing with issues involving water contamination and pollution. If rivers, lakes and oceans are literally alive at some level, then surely humanity has a great deal to learn from them – if it were possible, somehow, to communicate with water or, at least, interpret its “hidden messages” (Emoto, Masaru, The Hidden Messages in Water, Atria Books, 2005, Prologue).

Water resonates with certain sound frequencies

Owing, in part, at least, to its tetrahedral molecular shape, water appears to be influenced by sound frequencies so that it seems to resonate with certain frequencies in particular – namely, the so-called Solfeggio frequencies and their harmonics. Water appears to demonstrate its resonance with these frequencies by organizing itself, at a molecular level, into “structured water” – liquid crystal – which is visible when the water is frozen under certain conditions, as in the case of fresh snowflakes or Masaru Emoto’s experimental ice droplets. These specific sound frequencies were discovered through mystical/Divine inspiration and a study of the Biblical Book of Numbers by Dr. Joseph Puleo, an associate and collaborator of Dr. Leonard Horowitz. These frequencies are centered around the sound frequency of 528 Hertz (or cycles per second). While each of the Solfeggio frequencies discovered by Dr. Puleo has a characteristic set of traits, the “Miracle tone” of 528 Hz. – the Mi note in the Solfeggio scale – seems to be unique for its miraculous healing and stress-relieving ability.

Additionally, through the study of Cymatics – which examines the symmetries of wave formations generated in various media – it is possible to gain some appreciation and understanding of how various sound frequencies influence the media they travel through. The wave formations studied in the discipline of Cymatics can readily be viewed when transmitting sound frequencies through bowls and containers of water. The frequency of 528 Hz., in fact appears to generate a unique shape – a 36 pointed star. It is possible to capture these shapes through photography or other methods, e.g. the cymascope. The images of wave formations obtained by such techniques often manifest as remarkably complex patterns and designs – mandalas – which are a deep-rooted part of many Eastern religions and cultural practices.

The human body is largely made of water

The human body has been described by many as being a glorified sac of water. The human physiology, by varying estimates, is 60-70% water.

It stands to reason, therefore, that if water is deeply affected by various sound frequencies, the human body would also be profoundly affected by those frequencies. Indeed, as posited by Dr. Leonard Horowitz, the Solfeggio frequencies are exactly these biologically resonant sound frequencies. This may be why, it has been suggested, the human body vibes with certain sounds and, especially, musical notes. These particular notes – claimed to be the Solfeggio frequencies or notes – are organically resonant because they  profoundly resonate with the water that makes up 60-70% of human body chemistry.

12-Ways-To-Naturally-Raise-Your-Vibration

We human beings “feel” certain musical notes deeply in our beings – resonating with us at a profound cellular and molecular level – because this music resonates with the water in our body chemistry. This water responds to the stimuli of musical notes by organizing its molecular structure into so-called “structured water”, which has a unique set of properties. It stands to reason, therefore, that our health – which includes our physical fitness and well-being as well as our brain function – is profoundly influenced by the resonance of structured water to the Solfeggio sound frequencies. For this reason, among others, it has been suggested that the Solfeggio frequencies may have healing properties.

The Key of David

The musician Michael Tyrell recounts in his book The Sound of Healing that he believes that he has discovered the so-called “Key of David” – an enigmatic icon derived from a mention in the Biblical Book of Isaiah. By following numerological clues and his knowledge of Biblical and musical history, especially regarding how the legendary King David of Israel tuned his lyre (kinnor) to a higher note or frequency than was the common practice, Tyrell surmised that David possibly tuned his lyre to set the key of A to 444 Hz., as opposed to the modern tuning of A=440 Hz. (standard western turning) or the alternative tuning of A=432 Hz. Doing so results in 4 of the 6 Solfeggio frequencies manifesting themselves when playing the instrument, especially C5 manifesting as 528 Hz.

Tyrell came to believe that this secret higher-than-usual system of tuning of A=444 Hz. is the key to the allegedly miraculous powers of King David’s music – its supernatural healing properties and miraculous heavenly sound. Apparently, the secret has to do with the Solfeggio frequencies manifesting in the music, which, as was mentioned earlier, resonates with water at a molecular level and, as such, appears to have profound effects on human health and well-being.

The Rockefeller Foundation, Joseph Goebbels and Standard Western Tuning

Both Dr. Leonard Horowitz and Michael Tyrell provide extensive evidence on the background and historical circumstances leading to the eventual standardization of music tuning in the the 20th and 21st Centuries – standard western tuning, which defines the key of A tuned to 440 Hz. This system of music tuning is currently widely adopted and universally accepted as the standard.

Dr. Horowitz mentions that in the 1930s, prior to WWII, according to citations in their own archives, the Rockefeller Foundation conducted extensive research into the psychological impact of sound frequencies for wartime applications, especially with regard to the ability of certain sound frequencies to trigger negative emotional responses such as unease, fear and even mass hysteria. Dr. Horowitz also mentions that the Rockefellers’ Standard Oil corporation was closely affiliated with Nazi Germany through its association with the IG Farben petrochemical cartel. These circumstances culminated, on the eve of WWII, with the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, holding a conference in London to institute the music tuning system of A=440 Hz. as the international standard. While this arrangement did not last for long, due to the war, subsequent attempts were made to standardize music tuning by the ISO and the EU, presumably at the behest of the Rockefeller Foundation.

Both Dr. Horowitz and Tyrell emphatically state that the standard tuning system of A=440 Hz., which is widely deployed by the modern mass media, produces a biologically harmful set of sound frequencies that do not resonate organically with human physiology. While the difference in frequency between standard tuning vs. Solfeggio tuning is barely perceptible to the human ear – a mere 4 cents or approximately 0.16 semitones difference in music pitch – the difference can be felt physiologically and even psychologically. The lack of organic resonance to the standard tuning of A440 results in a devastating physiological and psychological impact after prolonged exposure. This can lead to significant health and psychological problems in the widespread populace – a circumstance aggravated by the exponentially growing deployment of mass media technologies like TVs, cellphones, tablets, etc., all of which apparently transmit media at standard frequencies.

The need for a universal music pitch shift

Underscoring the devastating effects of prolonged exposure to music tuned to the “standard” frequency of A=440 Hz., Dr. Horowitz and Tyrell call for a dramatic shift in universal practices of music tuning. They urge musicians and music producers worldwide to reject the standard system of A440 music tuning and, instead, adopt the much more organically resonant and beneficial Key of David tuning system of A=444 Hz. Doing so, they allege, can bring about a dramatic shift in circumstances for the human race.

This new system of music tuning has the potential, if exponentially deployed and amplified, to raise the collective vibration of the human species and to bring about a paradigm shift in human affairs. We could be witnessing miracles transpiring everywhere and dramatic instances of healing and recovery from deadly diseases.

As Tyrell mentions, when music is played at the correct frequency and with the right intentions, when it is magnified sufficiently to the glory of God, He responds and Heaven comes to earth (Tyrrell, Michael S., The Sound of Healing: Unveiling the Phenomena of Wholetones, Barton Publishing, 2015, p.96). Both Dr. Horowitz and Tyrell firmly believe in the remarkable potential of correctly tuned music to dramatically improve the quality of life for all people worldwide, if deployed at a sufficient scale and with the right intentions at heart.

Conclusions

The evidence provided by the authors I have cited is pretty compelling. If I may add my personal testimony to the mix – although I have not experienced any dramatic instances of healing or recovery resulting from music tuned to A444, I have certainly experienced a profound sense of peace of mind upon listening to A444 music tracks. They are also extremely powerful stress relievers and energizers to listen to. I can also attest to playing some Solfeggio music tracks on headphones for my father when he was gravely ill – while there is no direct evidence that the music had any significant healing properties, I did notice that it gave him a tremendous sense of relief from the illness – an effect that was directly perceptible in his improved heart-rate and breathing patterns.

Is it possible that music played over the Solfeggio frequencies could dramatically transform our lives – healing us from illness and clearing our troubled minds? While the definitive corroborative clinical evidence may be lacking, the possibility certainly holds a great deal of promise. If nothing else, the music is tremendously effective at providing relief from troubles and stress. At best, however, and with further research, it holds the promise of miraculously transforming our lives for the better – but these possibilities still need to be researched and investigated further.

Postscript

There may be some misconceptions about musical instrument tuning, and I think I should clear them up here. For example, I believe there may be some confusion about the difference between major and minor keys on a keyboard vs. the tuning of the keyboard. These are not the same things. A typical keyboard, like the one I own, has a “Function” button with some enhanced settings. If I press the “Function” button on my keyboard a few times, I arrive at a setting labeled “Tune”. This tuning setting was set, by default, to 440.0 Hz., which is the standard western tuning of A=440Hz., perpetuated by Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels and the Rockefeller Foundation. What I have done on my keyboard is to modify this setting to 444.0 Hz., which results in A=444Hz. tuning, as suggested by Dr. Leonard Horowitz. As a result, my keyboard now plays in this “Key of David” music tuning system. It still has both major and minor keys, but the entire keyboard plays in this new, more vibrant tuning system, which, supposedly, has health benefits and, in general, is more pleasing to the ear.

Music of the Spheres: Leonard Horowitz and the Solfeggio Miracle Tone

In 1998, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, a Harvard-educated independent researcher, published Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse, in which he recounts his collaboration with respected naturopathic physician and herbalist, Dr. Joseph Puleo. In his book, he describes Dr. Puleo’s discovery, through mystical inspiration, of the so-called lost “Solfeggio musical frequencies.”

In his 2011 publication, The Book of 528, Horowitz describes the events that led to Dr. Puleo’s epiphany:

Dr. Puleo, who died in 2008, had a knack for decrypting Bible codes. He never told me if he developed his decoding skills in the military, while serving as a Navy Seal, but I suspected he was more than an intelligence agent turned naturopathic doctor….

Joey knew there were six verses to St. John [the Baptist]’s sacred hymn. Each verse was chanted in a different ancient Solfeggio frequency. The sacred music, he knew, could resonate Water to Divinely anoint herbal formulas (sic). Joey’s Catholic intelligence network could (or would) not provide the intelligence he sought. So, Dr. Puleo took his quest to Jesus, and prayed for the musical revelation.

Soon thereafter, Joey awoke to “a vision” of Jesus standing bedside, next to a huge angel. The vision did not disappear when he opened or closed his eyes.

Joey reported that while in this “altered state,” Jesus showed him a section of the Bible’s Book of Numbers, Chapter 7, beginning with verse 12 – wherein the six musical frequencies are hidden in the verse numbers. Joey found and deciphered them, without the aid of a computer….

The numbers: 396, 417, 528, 639, 741, and 852, provided the musical notes (i.e. Hertz frequencies) of the original Solfeggio musical scale. These were passed down to Levitical priests from ancient – pre-Egyptian – mystics. The Levites later encrypted the pure tones in the verse numbers of the Bible for posterity. (Horowitz, Leonard G., The Book of 528: Prosperity Key of Love, Tettrahedron, 2011, pp.2-3)

Horowitz points out that the water molecule has a tetrahedral shape and resonates, in its natural state, to certain sound frequencies. He notes that water is abundant throughout the universe and that “pure structured Water vibrates in 528Hz, as does the entire hydrated universe, as evidenced by snowflakes and their sacred geometry” (Ibid., p. 19). Through the study of Cymatics, the science of how sound vibrations affect physical media, especially water, one can come to an understanding of how sound impacts human body chemistry at a cellular, even molecular, level, by vibrationally influencing the water that constitutes nearly 70% of human physiology. “Ultimately, harmony, health, and homeostatic balance is administered vibrationally.” (Ibid., p.32)

Horowitz presents a more detailed mathematical analysis of the number 528, which, he suggests, is a “universal constant” that defines the mathematical constants Pi, Phi and the Golden Mean. He suggests that “the number 528” is “a most important frequency impacting sacred geometry, space/time measurements, and the energetic dynamics of the universe.” (Ibid., p.49) Horowitz points out that the 528 Hz. frequency resides at the heart of the electromagnetic spectrum, translating to the greenish yellow color of chlorophyll and nature, at the center of the rainbow of visible light. “This ‘good vibration’ identified as the ‘miracle frequency’ at the heart of the ancient Solfeggio is, likewise, at the heart of the sound and light spectrum” (Ibid., p.59).

528_cymagraph-300x292

A striking proof of the significance of the 528 Hz. frequency presented by Horowitz is the photograph of a “hydrosonic CymaGlyph” produced by John Stuart Reid – a remarkable 36-pointed star generated on the surface of water upon transmission of a “528 Hz pure tone.” (Ibid., p.60) Horowitz also presents detailed analyses in sacred geometry and Pythagorean mathematics by mathematician Victor Showell to demonstrate the numerical significance of 528 and other Solfeggio frequencies in the grand scheme of reality – proofs which are best interpreted intuitively as reflective of a symmetry and mathematical design underlying all of existence.

One of the most remarkable demonstrations Showell makes involves the original value of the mathematical constant Pi, which, he notes, evaluates to 3.142857 repeating to infinity. When doubled, the constant evaluates to 6.285714 to infinity, etc. Remarkably, the digits to the right of the decimal point include transpositions of the Solfeggio frequencies 528 Hz and 741 Hz, which, when combined, produce a dissonant sound known, in musicology, as the “Devil’s tone.” This arrangement of digits to the right of the decimal point, which is retained however many times the value of Pi is doubled, reflects the yin/yang pattern of nature.

Missing in the fractional part of Pi, are the digits 3, 6 and 9, which inventor Nikola Tesla suggested were the key to a deeper understanding of reality. Describing the structure of Pi in its decimal form, Horowitz notes that “the ‘period’ may denote a time warp separating past and future, instead of being in the NOW of physical/spritual totality, or existentially enlightened experiences” (Ibid., p.73). Horowitz also points out the interesting observation that “when [musical] instruments are tuned to 396 Hz., the music feels ‘angelic’ or more spiritual.” (Ibid., p.73) Horowitz concludes that:

All piezoelectricity, oxidative-reductive reactions, and electromagnetism, affecting chemical interactions (sic) rely on the harmonics or dissonance of a musical-mathematical matrix fundamental to physics and chemistry.” (Ibid., pp.82-3)

Having posited that the sacred Solfeggio frequencies of sound and light are fundamental to nature, and that all of nature, especially the tetrahedral water molecule, resonates to these frequencies, Horowitz describes the actions of an international cabal of bankers and industrialists, led, prominently, by the Rockefeller Foundation, to manipulate and suppress these holistic, organic sound frequencies, while imposing, instead, a dissonant set of frequencies designed to cause physiological and psychological stress to the human system.

consciousscience26_33

Horowitz describes research into acoustics prior to WWII, funded largely by the Rockefeller Foundation, into determining which sound frequencies would maximize stress and mass hysteria in an audience. He cites Dr. James Tobias’ review of Rockefeller Foundation archives which “documented investigations leading to psychological warfare applications of acoustic vibrations, ultimately advanced militarily and commercially.” (Ibid., p.91) According to Tobias:

“[t]he (sic) power of sound control [creates] musical, corporeal synchronization.” That is, people’s bodies would bioenergetically entrain to the musical frequencies and electronically-engineered sound effects. These would affect people’s emotions and cause them to act in certain programmable ways. (Ibid., p.117)

Citing historian Lynn Cavanagh, Horowitz suggests that all this acoustic research into determining which sound frequencies would maximize stress and mass hysteria in an audience led to the adoption of the A=440Hz music turning standard by the British Standards Institute. Horowitz mentions:

Ironically, and most revealing about the British-German-American cartel arrangement, European musicians and the British Standards Institute (BSI), were persuaded to accept this tuning in 1939 by Nazi party propaganda minister, Josef Goebbels. (Ibid., p.103)

Thus, we have the bizarre historical circumstance that, on the eve of WWII, the British Standards Institute was persuaded into adopting a music tuning system promoted by an enemy agent of propaganda, working for one of the most blatantly evil and infamous regimes in history – the product of research into acoustics funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and their international banking and corporate associates. Horowitz notes that:

After the war, the Rockefellers’ Standard Oil Company was indicted by a US Federal Court as an ‘enemy national,’ that is, an American traitor. It was proven that the Rockefeller enterprise was a full partner with IG Farben and the Third Reich” (Ibid., p.104)

IG Farben, it must be noted, was an industrial cartel, that included Bayer Pharmaceuticals, BASF, Agfa, and others, which collaborated with the Nazi Third Reich during WWII, profited off concentration camp slave labor, and even manufactured the poison gas used in Nazi gas chambers. Apparently, IG Farben was a major shareholder in and collaborator with Standard Oil, and the Nazi war machine was heavily reliant on allied suppliers like Standard Oil for their success. For example, Standard Oil was a major supplier of tetraethyl lead gasoline, which was required by the German Luftwaffe to fly their aircraft in bombing raids across Europe.

img_0650-1

Regardless of the legal fallout of WWII, which resulted in grave harm to the Rockefeller family legacy, the damage was done with regard to the institution of the A=440Hz music tuning standard, which continues to this day. Citing Cavanagh, Horowitz even notes that “the B.B.C. began to broadcast the A=440 Hz tuning note, which, for the sake of accuracy was produced electronically.” (Ibid., p.104)

Citing musician and researcher Brian T. Collins, Horowitz notes that “the current tuning of music based on A=440 Hz does not harmonize on any level that corresponds to cosmic movement, rhythm, or natural vibration.” (Ibid., p.108). On the contrary, it appears, this standard western system of music tuning is fundamentally dissonant with nature, with human physiology and even with the molecular structure of water. On the other hand, citing Llewelyn S. Lloyd, Horowitz notes that “the British author and composer expressed his preference for precisely A=444Hz tuning, that manifests the C-5-pitch at 528Hz. He wrote that this 4Hz higher pitch is more pleasing generally for musicians worldwide.” (Ibid., p.107)

A difference in 4 Hz of sound frequency in the tuning of the key of A may not seem to be very significant, but I can personally attest to the fact that this subtle pitch shift is enough to render a duller, flatter tone into a brighter sound, which appears to be more physiologically and psychologically resonant. Using audio software, it is easy enough to pitch-shift any music track recorded at the standard frequency tuning of A=440Hz, by approximately 0.16 semitones, to render an output tuned appromimately at A=444Hz. One can observe the brighter, more resonant sound for oneself and attest to the validity of the claims made in this article and in Horowitz’s books. As pointed out by Dr. Horowitz, a frequency tuning of A=444Hz produces several of the organically resonant Solfeggio frequencies, in particular C-5 at 528 Hz, resulting in music that is more pleasing to the ear, spritually uplifting and even, it appears, having healing properties.

Horowitz concludes his discussion of the “musical cult control” exerted on modern society by the hidden powers that be, with a series of powerful statements:

The current world crises, cultural indoctrination, and behavior modification has a lot to do with the science of coercian, the history of musical instrument tuning, and the media. (Ibid., p.119)

Music bioenergetically affects your body chemistry, psychoneuroimmunology, and health. Your body is now being vibrated musically, audibly and subliminally according to an institutionally imposed frequency that resonates in dissonance with LOVE and positive emotions. (Ibid. p.120)

… the military’s acoustic frequency research and technological developments advanced during the 1930s to induce psychosocial pathology, herd behavior, emotional distress, and mass hysteria, were successfully deployed and are now being used against We The People. (Ibid., p.120)

Instruments and voices tuned to the A=444Hz scale are far more acoustically pleasing, instinctively and kinesthetically stimulating, spritually refreshing, linked to genetic repair, and arguably, even resonating pure LOVE. (Ibid., p.121)

Dr. Horowitz then urges humanity to “reject secret militarization of music, and retune instruments and voices to frequencies most sustaining and healing.” (Ibid., p.121)

Indeed, music has, since time immemorial, been a profound and deeply spiritual expression of the human experience. Ancient Tibetan musical chants were believed to have the power to levitate boulders and open portals into other dimensions. Music has also played a key role in religious and spiritual experience, from the Psalms of King David, to the Gregorian chants, to modern church hymns and popular music.

Dr. Horowitz summarizes these ideas with the observation that:

Music is humanity’s best hope for physical salvation and Divine-human connection. The spiritual musical portals through which planetary rebirth and harmonization is destined, await your vision and activism. (Ibid., p.121)

Mirror of the Soul: Masaru Emoto and the Messages of Water

On By udaygunjikarIn education, health and fitness, ideas, mysticism, Personal developmentLeave a comment

In June, 1999, a Japanese entrepreneur named Masaru Emoto self-published a curious collection of photographs. They were images he had taken of water crystals under certain specific conditions. Describing his methodology in his 2004 publication The Hidden Messages in Water, Emoto states that after some trials with examing ice from a kitchen refrigerator under a microscope, he eventually built a walk-in refrigeration unit maintained at below freezing temperatures in which his researchers examined and photographed ice crystals in Petri dishes. He cites that:

I put fifty different types of water in fifty different Petri dishes…. I then freeze the dishes at -20° C (-4° F) for three hours in a freezer. The result is that surface tension forms drops of ice in the Petri dishes about one millimeter across. The crystal appears when you shine a light on the crown of the drop of ice. (Emoto, Masaru, The Hidden Messages in Water, Atria Books, 2005, Prologue)

Commenting on his prolific collection of images of ice crystals, Emoto noted that the results tended to be varied – never consistent. The forms, shapes and regularity of the crystals differed widely, and, sometimes, no crystallization occurred at all. At first glance, it appeared, the circumstances dictating the ice crystallization were completely random and unpredictable. But further experimentation began to yield some remarkable results.

Initially, Emoto discovered that “natural water” derived at source from “springs, underground rivers, glaciers, and the upper reaches of rivers” (Ibid.) tended to yield better results than urban tap water. In the latter case, there was little or no crystallization of the ice. By contrast, natural spring, glacial and early river water formed complete crystal shapes in the ice.

Prompted by his researcher, Emoto describes trying a new strategy – exposing his water samples to music before attempting to crystallize the ice. Using distilled water he had purchased from a drugstore, he would position a bottle of the water between a pair of music speakers while playing music for some time before refrigerating the water. He descibed his results as follows:

All the classical music that we exposed the water to resulted in well-formed crystals with distinct characteristics. In contrast, the water exposed to violent heavy metal music resulted in fragmented and malformed crystals at best. (Ibid.)

Emoto’s research team then experimented with writing words and phrases on pieces of paper wrapped around bottles containing distilled water, discovering that:

Water exposed to positive expressions … created attractive, well-formed crystals, but … water exposed to negative expressions … barely formed any crystals at all. (Ibid.)

The results of his experiments with photographing ice crystals led Emoto to make some profound observations. Emoto came to believe that “water is able to memorize and transport information,” (Ibid.) though he points out that “this suggestion has been met with complete rejection by the medical community.” (Ibid.) He proceeded to make the following profound observation:

Water is the mirror of the soul. It has many faces formed by aligning itself with the consciousness of human beings. (Emoto, Masaru, The Hidden Messages in Water, Atria Books, 2005, p.38)

Emoto claims that water, which composes around 70% of the human physiology, is, in fact, a profound, life-giving, mystical medium that has a subtle connection with human consciousness itself. Water is structurally influenced by a number of external factors – human consciousness, electromagnetic fields, music, fluid dynamics, contamination, etc. – and responds in subtle ways – ways that Emoto claims to have captured through his technique of photographing ice crystals created under various conditions.

The extrapolations of Emoto’s thesis, if verifiable, are profound. It suggests that water is not simply the “universal solvent” we know from laboratory experiments and with which we slake our thirst. While it is common knowledge that human life could not last more than a few days, at best, without water, it is, apparently, less well known that water seems to act, under certain conditions, as if it is alive and conscious itself. It appears, at least, to have a mystical connection to human consciousness in that it apparently reacts in subtle ways to such stimuli as human interaction, electromagnetic radiation, sound, flow, etc. These subtle factors appear to have a profound influence not only on the quality of the water we drink, but also on the very water in our bodies, and, by extension, our physical and mental health and well-being. Emoto believes not only that water can be “healed” through “healing prayer” and incantation, but that such water, in turn, has a profound healing effect on our own physical and psychological well-being.

Emoto suggests that water is a mystical medium that links the human to the Divine. Not only does it physically link all life, being one of the building blocks of life on earth, it, in fact, appears to be a reflection of human consciousness and the human soul in that it responds, in subtle ways, to human consciousness and the subtle energies and vibrations emanating from it.

Emoto came to believe that unless human beings come to realize the impact that human consciousness has on the water that surrounds us, we will inevitably poison ourselves by our own negativity – not merely spritually or psychologically, but physically, in a very real sense, by damaging and destroying the subtle, underlying structures in the very water we drink and that sustain life on earth. Emoto’s work is a wake-up-call to all of humanity to come to an awareness of how the human consciousness can affect reality – by either sanctifying or poisoning the very water we drink as a projection of our thoughts. Emoto’s message, clearly, is to change our ways and our thinking before we poison ourselves out of existence!
