The Living Force
From a 2002 interview of Dr. Masaru Emoto by a reporter from Zhengjian.net:
Reporter: Dr. Emoto, I read your book “The Messages From Water.” I feel it is very unique. You brought up several very meaningful topics. At the end of the book, you wrote,
“If water did not originally exist on earth but came from the outer space, then it means that our existence also began in outer space.” Could you please elaborate on what you meant?
Emoto: Five years ago, an asteroid that carried ice came down to earth. Researchers from the University of Hawaii measured it and found that it weighed 100 tons. Each year tens of millions of such large pieces of ice fall to earth from outer space. If we calculate the amount of water that they carry, people will see that it is very possible that the water on earth originally came from outer space.
Researchers from the University of Hawaii said that maybe at the beginning there was no water on earth and the water came to earth from outer space. Many scientists and researchers don’t agree with this theory, but I believe that it is correct.
Reporter: Since water came from outer space, then life also came from the outer space. Is this what you think?
Emoto: Yes, of course.
Reporter: At the end of the book, you said, “Where is the final destination of this chaotic world? How did human beings come to existence? What is their history? What will the future look like?”
Emoto: I think that human beings are the water itself. The human body is the clothing that we wear on this planet and, on other planets, the clothes might look completely different. Water is scattered over the entire universe. I believe that the earth is like the kidney of the universe. A lot of water from the universe came to this planet. It must be purified and go back to other planets to purify those planets. Those planets need purified water.
Water is just ourselves. We human beings must purify ourselves. The reason that we came here from the universe is to be purified. Then we must go back to the universe. Other planets are waiting for us. They are saying, “Come back! Come back! Hurry up and come back! Hurry up!”
But we still remain on this earth and keep being reincarnated. We can’t continue being incarnated like this. We must graduate and go back. We the human beings are just like water. We need to go back to other planets.
Reporter: But the reality is that this world has become dirtier and dirtier.
Emoto: If we continue to live like this, the planet Earth might encounter catastrophes and might come to an end. If we don’t change our ways, we might have a huge flood, like what happened in Noah’s Ark.
Reporter: Then how can we avoid such catastrophes from taking place?
Emoto: It is very easy. Love and gratitude, toward each person, every single thing. If 10% of people can do that, then there won’t be a catastrophe.
Reporter: Why 10%?
Emoto: Experiments have shown that if 10% of a bacteria colony contains good bacteria, 10% of it is bad, and 80% of it is neutral, the whole colony is good, and the good bacteria will triumph. (Dr. Emoto’s son commented, “That is why Dr. Emoto is trying hard to find 10% of people on earth who have righteous thoughts. There will be peace on earth as long as there are 10% of such people.”)
Reporter: After performing your water experiments, in what ways do you think about humankind differently?
Emoto: Where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going are important mysteries, mysteries that should be unveiled. Experiments through water can enable us to unveil these mysteries.
From a 2002 interview of physicist Dr. Cheng Luojia about Emoto’s water crystal research:
Dr. Cheng Luojia: The experiment is pretty simple. It demonstrates the differing ways of water crystallization in different situations. It is rare to have an experiment that is this concise, intuitive, and easy to understand, and that in itself is a huge accomplishment. This experiment deals with an extremely immense and important subject, namely how people’s minds influence matter.
Not too many experiments have been done in this area. The relationship between matter and mind is a topic that has been debated for a long time. Being able to explore the relationship between the two using such a simple experiment is very meaningful.
In addition, the original photographs of the experiments are enlarged 200 to 500 times. The observations have actually reached microscopic levels, that is, it is observing microscopic planes instead of points. This is rarely seen in scientific circles. I believe observation of the whole microscopic plane will bring forth a brand new world to us.
I think, both in terms of its subject and its research methodology, this experiment is a new beginning in science.
Reporter: The results of the water crystal experiment have been published in detail in the two-volume book Messages from Water. Which parts have impressed you most?

The ancient ancestors of the Chinese people perhaps already had the capability to see to the microscopic level. This (above) picture gives me a new understanding of Chinese pictographic writing.
When the water sample was exposed to harsh, destructive words, the crystal formed is in chaos and without order. The contrasting results are amazing and are a direct reflection of the influence of people’s mind on matter. We used to think that people’s mind intent and spirit were metaphysical. They belong to a different category from matter, but this experiment has revealed an in-depth relationship between matter and mind.
Furthermore, we are also able to see that good intent positively influences matter, and bad thought patterns make matter ugly. When you speak “beautiful” to the water, its crystal becomes beautiful. When you speak “dirty” to it, its crystal really looks extremely dirty. Looking at these pictures, a mother would probably understand that more encouragement and praise would make children become more intelligent and beautiful.
The enlightenment the public might gain from this experiment should not be underestimated.
Reporter: This experiment has also tested how language, image and sound affect water. What is your view about the results?
Dr. Cheng: It is very interesting. Exposed to the word “Wisdom,” written in Japanese, English and German, the water formed a similarly shaped crystal. Exposed to the word “Cosmos,” written in Japanese, English and Greek, the water did the same, too, and likewise to “Love” and “Thanks.”
This indicates that it is not the individual word, the language in which it spoken or the sound vibrations that are the reason for the formation, but the inherent thought processes behind the language or meaning represented by the language that influences the water.
The same meaning or the same information will produce the same effect, even though it is expressed in different languages. In this case of water, if we advance our thought a step further, that every word/thought produces a different shape, what conclusion can we draw? We can arrive at only one logical conclusion - the meaning of a word produces a shape! In other words, thoughts have shapes! Doesn’t that say mind is matter?
Water is also very sensitive to images.
After “reading” a lotus picture, a water crystal will grow unceasingly, as a lotus grows unceasingly. After “reading” a picture of a fir tree, the water will periodically change its color in the process of crystallization, as a tree undergoes changes, like its respiration process. More interesting yet is when water “reads” a picture of the sun or the word “sun,” the two crystals formed are identical in shape.
This indicates that an image also possesses a kind of consciousness, a kind of information. The same as a word, it represents a kind of thought, but is expressed in a different way. Every kind of shape represents a kind of spirit. An ancient adage tells us that similarity of shape is similarity of spirit.
This is one reason why a painting can express the artist’s thought and emotion and evoke those in the viewer. [This explains why art and music are such an integral and enduring part of human civilization.]
The capability of water of listening to music is more impressive.
After water “listens” to a musical composition by Bach, the shape of a water crystal looks neatly organized and clear. The shape of a water crystal looks clear and jubilant after the water “listens” to Beethoven’s “Pastoral” symphony. After “listening” to a nursery rhyme, water will become clear and pure. After listening to a musical composition entitled “Forest in the dim light of night,” the water crystal appears to be shrouded in the dim light of night. The dimness reflected in the crystal is not due to lack of light, but sound. Those results have shown that the sound and the shape of an object are interconnected.
This really opens up a totally new world. The interconnecting relationship between the sound and the shape is an important new concept.
For example, a good musical instrument must have a good shape. In ancient times, when casting a bell, an experienced worker would be able to know if the sound of bell was good or not with just a glance at the shape of the bell when it was taken out of the furnace mold. The influence of sound on shape manifested in this experiment is very vivid.
Reporter: Most people are initially surprised when they see those marvelous and beautiful water crystals. They did not expect water to have so many connotations.
Dr. Cheng: Actually, in Chinese tradition, people had a meticulous understanding of water. For example, in creating medicine one must chose water carefully. To make Aijiao (a Chinese traditional medicine), water from a well called Ai in a village called Ai in Shandong Province must be used.
Water for boiling tea was also carefully chosen. Some tea must be made with specific spring water, some must be made with dew from lotus leaves, other tea was prepared with snow from plum blossoms; another tea was yet prepared with the water from a certain segment of a certain river.
All of these do not only prove that people in ancient China were refined and cultured; they also represented in-depth knowledge of the nature of water.
In the countryside of China, women know a lot of simple but effective folk remedies. Among them, water is one of the most commonly used. For instance, when a child eats something not too well cooked, he or she will get a stomachache. Sometime the pain is so violent that the child rolls about on the ground.
His mother will then heat a bowl of water to the point where it is just about to boil but not quite boiling yet. When the child is fed the water, the pain will be gone immediately, an instantaneous effect. Water usage among the people for different uses is numerous.
Reporter: In the postscript of the book The Message from Water, the author raised several questions - where it comes from, where it goes, what is the purpose of existence, and others. How do you respond?
Dr. Cheng: Instead of only focusing at the subject at hand, Dr. Emoto is able to jump out of the box and take on profound questions. It is an indication of his open-mindedness. Water is an essential factor in the creation of everything. To understand water also helps us to understand matter, spirit and life.
From a 2003 interview of physicist Dr. Li Chunbing about Emoto’s water crystal research:
From the photographs of different formations of water crystal we can easily see that mind and matter are one thing. It appears that there is a mind inside a matter.
For example, a word carries a thought, which manifest itself in the formation of water crystal in the water crystal experiments. This proves that a matter has life and thought of its own, and that a thought has its tangible representation.
Matter and mind are one body with two kinds of manifestations of the same substance.
These experiments have proven that water is a form of life, and this also applies to every word, every shape of object, and every single sound, for everything has a mind. Perhaps someday we will even be able to say hello to them once we have acquired higher abilities of observation.
Reporter: A lot of photos of water crystals from the experiments have been published. Which photograph do you like best?
Dr. Li: The flower photos are inspiring. You can see that after being exposed to the pictures of chamomile and fennel, the formations of water crystals completely resemble the respective shapes of the two flowers. That a water crystal simulates the shape of a message it is exposed to is solid proof that every particle carries the whole image of a matter.

This hologram vision is visible only at a micro-level. We cannot see the “thought” with our flesh eyes because “thought” exists at a micro-level and our eyes do not. If we can find a way to see things at a micro-level, we will be able to see “thought.”
Reporter: This experiment differs from other sophisticated science experiments in that very few specialists were involved but a world of attention was drawn to its results. What kind of impact do you think the experiment results will bring to the public?
Dr. Li: We can see clearly from the experiment on water crystals that a kind thought makes things beautiful while an evil thought mutilates things. The greatest part of a human body and everything else in the world is made of water. It follows that our kind thoughts will improve the external environment, as well as ourselves.
If we always keep kind thoughts, we will purify our own body, and thus become beautiful and healthy. If we always keep kind thoughts, we will also purify the environment and people around us. Our kind thoughts can improve everything in this world. It is mind-blowing to see this philosophy clearly in the water crystal experiments. The most direct way to purify the world is to keep kind thoughts. It would have a tremendous impact on the world if the public could see that point.
Reporter: Dr. Masaru Emoto has already done an experiment where a group of people sent kind thoughts such as “thank you” and “love” to a bottle of severely polluted water. The water was purified quickly. In addition, Dr. Emoto has recently invited the whole world to send kind thoughts to water on earth at set times on a regular basis. What is your comment on these experiments?
At 2 o’clock of February 2, 1997, 500 people from all over Japan, upon the invitation of Dr. Emoto, sent kind thoughts toward a bottle of tap water in Tokyo on Dr. Emoto’s office desk. Everyone was asked to think the same thought, “The water is now purified. Thank you.”
This affectionate message was sent at the same time from 500 people all over Japan. The photo on the right was taken right afterwards. No man-made processing was done to this photograph at all.
Even though the research team had expected this result, all the members of the team were moved to tears when they saw the photograph.
Dr. Emoto often tells a story of a group of people sending kind thoughts together. When Apollo 13 landed on the moon, the crew experienced some technical problems that caused damage to their oxygen tanks. They were not supposed to be able to make it back to earth alive under the circumstances. However, the entire world watched the expedition and prayed for them.
In the end, the crew made it back to earth safely. Dr. Emoto believes that it was the work of sending kind thoughts as a group. Dr. Emoto regards it as a global activity where the world, regardless of race, belief, and country, sent benevolent thoughts together simultaneously.
if we keep our mind peaceful, I believe the water that surrounds us will become very clean. I think the clarity of water will reflect the clarity of our tranquility. If we sit in meditation in a high level of tranquility, we should have more impact on water. Here, I would like to explain quickly that there are different levels of tranquility.
The process of eliminating interfering thoughts and attaining a higher level of tranquility is essentially a process of cultivation. I would bet that the experimental results would be astonishing if a genuine cultivator sits in meditation next to a brook.
I would also like to add a comment on the activities where a group of people send benevolent thoughts together. These activities are short-lived and, hence, yield temporary results. It is more important that we keep benevolent thoughts at all times because each of our thoughts influences our body and everything that surrounds us.
It is only when we continue to eliminate bad thoughts, discipline ourselves with high moral standards, and learn to lead peaceful lives will we be able to purify our own bodies and our environments, as well as to attain and maintain world peace. This is the true way of life taught by the saints.
Reporter: A Chinese proverb says, “Water is a mirror of the heart.” From Dr. Emoto’s experiments, we now have a clear understanding that pure water is a product of a pure mind. A mind that resists kind thoughts has no power to improve water.
The experiments are enough to make us sigh in wonder and ask ourselves how little we know about water.
How can water respond to the different emotions and feelings of humans?
Is it possible that water has sensory functions and the ability to change according to its environment?
Can water distinguish good from evil, beauty from ugliness?
If it can, how does it do it?
What is the real origin of water?
Are there common universal messages that go beyond words and language?
Life cannot exist without water. If water is able to sense things, do we need to re-examine our understanding of life all over again?
How should we use this knowledge to improve the quality of our lives?
Those questions seem to go beyond what the so-called mainstream contemporary science can answer. When I met Dr. Masaru Emoto in Boston last year, he clearly stated that he had no intention of getting into a debate with the community of mainstream science. Instead, he wants to disseminate the knowledge to people in society so that the public and the younger generations will realize that kind thoughts such as love and thanks can make changes to water and the environment around us. The significance of the water crystal experiments will transcend the imagination of everyone.

Dr. Cheng: The first picture in the book is an ice image, water in the frozen stage, about to melt into water, but has not yet become water. It represents a complete drawing of the Chinese character for water!http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_salud/emoto01.jpg

The significance of the water crystal experiments will transcend the imagination of everyone.
