Our Conscious Impact

There is a specific concept that I have been aware of ever since I was a young child. I always knew that our (human) focus indeed would effect our environment in some way. I never knew our capacity for "manifesting" reality, yet, there had to be some level of impact solely within our thoughts and intention simply because we are a part of reality. A fine book "The Hidden Messages in Water" outlines this concept very well. The author, Masaru Emoto, is a Doctor of Alternative Medicine that began photographing water crystals that had been introduced to various messages, symbols, sounds and conditions. His premise is that water has a memory and a reaction upon being influenced in some way.

The interpretation of the book is open to the reader. In this instance, I recognized one consistent variable in all of the photographs. Mr. Emoto and his chosen staff. Throughout the book there is an underlying trend. Peace, LOVE, joy, unity, God and other concepts of fluidity are within Mr. Emoto's positive influence. For his negative influence are war, hate, greed, corruption, pollution, heavy metal and concepts of a destructive nature. For example, Mr. Emoto had a negative reaction himself to heavy metal music, where other people (including myself) find a deeper meaning from some heavy metal music.

Could it be that Mr. Emoto's conscious interpretation was in fact influencing the water crystals rather than the piece of paper he attached to the water glass or even the pollution within the water? His simple knowing of the influence and his own feeling toward the influence was in fact dictating the reactivity of the water and the formation of it's crystals. Perhaps.

This would be explained by the elementary concepts of Quantum Mechanics. The energy Quanta of an observer effecting the energy Quanta of what is being observed. Regardless, it is always great to witness the practice in an easy to read format such as in "The Hidden Messages in Water."
