Welcome to Mark Winter, a respected authority on eastern philosophies and the New Age. Mark, a long-time friend of Jonathan, will examine a very wide variety of New Age subjects each week on this page. Archive for Wednesday 26th November 2003 - World of Alternatives

Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto believes that water has a message for us all - to look inside ourselves for answers. His amazing photographs of water have had a profound effect on all those who understand their implications. Water, he has demonstrated by photographing microscopic frozen crystals, can store and communicate both message and meaning. His pioneering work began decades ago. Whilst pondering the fact that no two snowflakes are alike, he decided to probe the nature of water to see if you could unlock a similar mystery. In London, this week, Dr Emoto told me he knew he had a "message for the world" when his pictures revealed that water not only responded to prayer, but was also structurally affected by music, photographs and even individual words. He is dismayed at the scepticism shown by fellow scientists for his breathtaking photographs. "My aim is to get other researchers to replicate my experiments so that they can understand their significance. "At the moment I have had to choose the path of art instead of science, and people have been moved by the beauty of water. We are made mostly of water and the truths I have unlocked resonate in people." He takes heart, though, from the great physicist Albert Einstein whom he quotes, 'Within mysterious beauty, there is truth'. Emoto says: "Water is a mirror. It reflects our state of mind."

He believes water will unlock a new medicine for the new millennium - where non-invasive vibrational medicine, like homeopathy, will turn us all into natural healers. Dr Emoto's team have used their research to help heal thousands of people by tuning into the frequencies of their ailments and neutralising them with healing energy.

Words have the power to change more than just our minds. Dr Emoto's experiments have revealed that language can alter the actual physical structure of water. Photographing water crystals from containers labelled with contrasting words, such as 'Soul' and 'Demon' yielded pictures consistent with their meaning. Dr Emoto believes that water has a message for us. Water, photographed as it changes from ice to water, displays an image identical to the ancient Chinese character for water (see picture). This he believes is no accident. Ancient words have a transcendent quality, which conveys more than meaning. The Sanskrit word 'Om', for example, has a particular peaceful vibration which, some say, bridges the present with the eternal.
