We know something is sentient if we reach it emotionally. The implications of what he found he could verify visibly, are encouraging and staggering. I own the second book and hope Masaru Emoto’s wild extrapolations simmered down.
It was no leap to consider water alive, thus I did not imagine giving “ The Hidden Messages In Water”, 1999, three stars. If tests confirm some metaphysical concepts, I am glad. Personal experience and perception are validating enough. Many of us can feel that there really is magic in our world. It's a quick read, and interesting enough if you're not completely close minded. So, coming back to the word "consider", I feel that this is a book that should be "considered" Not completely accepted, and not discredited in an off hand way. What a bitter irony that this is precisely the attitude science fought to escape during early clashes with the church.
Basically a, "What!?! If I don't understand it, or it challenges my viewpoint of the world then it can't possibly exist!" kind of attitude. On the other hand, from reading comments here, it's apparent that some people went into the book actively looking for any excuse to disprove anything and everything contained within. Even if the mechanism for that effect is unknown. But is the power of positive affirmation really so mysterious? Placebo/Nocebo effect is pretty well documented. Could it be true? Maybe, who knows? But it seems like there should be a lot more tests done before making the claims that he does. In my personal opinion, there is a lot of interesting information that Emoto has collected, but still not enough to really form a solid theory, so he tells the story he WANTS to tell (and that a lot of people want to hear). Specifically with the word "consider".Īs some others have noted, the theory Emoto has created from his research does seem to have some rather large leaps from point A to point B.
But that's where I feel some of the problems begin. Even if the theory doesn't mesh with you, the photography is interesting enough, and it never hurts to consider a new theory. The book does truly present something interesting to think about. You know, I think this book, and the reviews are good examples of some of the problems in both science and spirituality today.
