These words that I am thinking and then writing right now are affecting the world. I'm not an omnipotent power by any means, but my thoughts and feelings are alive, and when expressed they change the patterns of the objects around them. Sounds crazy doesn't it? Check out these web articles about Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist who studies the effects of thoughts, speech, and music, on water: www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/aug1/consciouswater.html, www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/nov1/cwater.htm

The theory is that if you say positive words like 'thank you' to a jar of water and then freeze the water you can then look at the ice and see small clusters of beautiful crystals. However, if you say something negative, the ice shows no crystals at all, just a messy smudged-like appearance emerges. The connotations here are immense. Dr. Emoto believes that if humanity could get at least 10% of its population to think and feel gratefully and lovingly, the whole of our world could be changed remarkably for the better. Why only 10%? Like bacteria, 80% of human beings just like to go with the flow of what seems right in the moment. This doesn't mean humanity is bad (or bacteria), it simply means that we are a collective community who often likes to hear opinions from others 'in the know', and then act upon these suggestions.
Check out some of the photos from these articles, get the book, "The Hidden Messages of Water"(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-0682243-4304714), or have a look at the documentary, "What the bleep do we know?" (www.whatthebleep.com/) and see what I'm talking about. It really is amazing. Imagine, they got a Buddhist monk to do a one-hour prayer treatment to some water in a dam and the result was a seven-pointed water crystal. The fact that the priest was invoking the 'Seven goddesses of fortune' causes the whole experiment to have much more depth than ever anticipated.
When water was exposed to aromatic floral oils, the crystals tended to appear like the original flowers that the essences were extracted from: E.g.: Chamomile. When the word 'soul' was taped to a bottle of water, a beautiful crystal with a heart-shaped center came to life. However, when heavy metal music or the words 'you fool' were emitted next to water, almost the exact same ugly smear was formed in the frozen water.
So what does this mean to people like you and I in our 'normal', everyday lives? 70% of our bodies and the world are made up of water. What if all of your thoughts and feelings are actually changing the people around you, as well as yourself? Everything you ever say or think is having a direct influence on life. Does this mean that we need to be much more serious about life? Or, does it mean we need to lighten up?
It sounds like another great paradox but I think that one message is ringing through clearly: What we do every moment of every day has much more significance than we presently believe, and now could be the opportunity to become aware to the fact that life is very interconnected, mysterious and magical.
