Liked It “more than just a book about water” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “This is an interesting book. The idea that the formation of water crystals is influenced by words, thoughts, and sound is plausible to me and it would have all the critical implications for water-based sentient organisms that the author proposes. |

“Japanese scientist Masaru- Emoto has come with very interesting findings on water with some unbelievable images of water crystal. Yes, in what may appear as bizzare or primitive superstitious postulation there is enormous telltale empirical evidence to ignore. Water is frozen at minus 5 F and the crystals thereof are photographed.There are beautiful crystals and equally bad crystal formation depending on various situation.The images formed when water is appreciated with gratitude before photographing are very aesthethic and harmonious. Images formed when water is insulted are very vague and disarrayed as though water is angry.Again water is labelled Thhank you in different languages and You Fool in different languages such as English, chinese, japanese etc. The outcome is outstandingly similar. Water crystals when appreciated in any language display similar formations and those insulted in different languages also are equally disarrayed pictures.

“The implications are astounding, considering a human body is comprised of anywhere from 50 to 75% water, but what bothered me about this book was that the experiments themselves were presented as science yet the procedures themselves are, as mentioned in a previous review, inexact at best. I also thought the conclusions were delivered in a pontifical sort-of way. Maybe something was lost in translation? ”

However, the reason I didn't like the book is that it is very shoddy in marrying the science to the spiritual. Whenever you have science and what the skeptics call "woo-woo", you MUST bear the burden of the scientific method (otherwise just toss it out and write a cool, inspiring spiritual book).
However, the lack of explication of the scientific methodology used to obtain the crystals, and the utter lack of demonstration of reproducibility (which may be impossible because crystals are like snowflakes (i.e. no two exactly alike) . . . with such poor explication of the scientific method, one is left to wonder if the chosen photos from the many thousands the author says have been taken were chosen for their effect.
Yes, "love" creates a fine crystal and "i hate you" creates a mess . . . but is it so everytime? And if it is so, are the fine crystal consistently similar in a way that makes it a "love" crystal as distinct from the other fine crystals formed by other positive influences?
The impassioned case for the mutual effect of water on life and vice-versa is sound; but the book just falls apart because it fails to marry two completely different paradigms for approaching truth which is a shame because I am ready to be convinced that water has a "memory" and that our intentions affect the purity of water . . . but the science just isn't there. ”
“The book is written very scientifically but the ramifications are nothing less than spiritually mind blowing!”

“So true, I even did some of the experiments and they do work. Use this technique to purify water and heal plants.”

“Water is phenomenal and what Masaro Emoto has discovered about water is nothing short of the same! Emoto's pictures reveal not only the physical-chemical content of water, but the meaning of our intent; what resides in our body via thought and feeling(remember we are mostly water), and our effect on others becomes infinitely important. Read this book and you'll never again take a glass of water without thinking about what you hold and how you effect it and how it effects you!”

“A truly fascinating book that has the power to change the way you look at the world.”

“This book is fascinating. The author introduces water to different thoughts, words etc. or takes water from different places, then freezes it and takes pictures of the resulting ice crystals. There is definite correlation between the effects and the qualities of the crystals. The book is full of pictures. The only thing that's not stated, unless I missed it, is how many tests he did that *weren't* shown, if any. Without seeing all of the results (or knowing that the results in the book were the only results), I can't know whether selective bias has taken place. It's just because the implications would be so astounding that I wanna be sure.
