I don't know who all is familiar with the work of Masaru Emoto, but he was featured in the recent film "What the Bleep Do We Know" for his study of emotional effects upon water.
At first, I was skeptical of this man because he claimed to be a scientist, but had not been published in any legitimate scientific journal. Therefore, I prematurely dismissed him.
However, today I was at my local shop for all my supplies and crystals and books, and I was talking to a lady who had also been skeptical, and actually tried some of Emoto's experiments herself. She showed me what she had found:
In one jar, she placed a small amount of cooked rice and sealed the jar, labelling it "Thank you." In another, she placed an equal amount of cooked rice, labelling it "You fool." In yet another jar, she placed an equal amount but placed no label on it and completely ignored the jar. As of today, the jars had been sitting about two months, and she showed me the results.
In the "thank you" jar, the rice had minimal traces of a white goo-like substance over the top of it. In the "you fool" jar, there was white mold literally covering almost every inch of the jar's interior. And in the ignored jar, there was a layer of black mold on top of the rice.
I plan on simulating this experiment on my own to see the results. If this is verified, I think I will be forced to change my opinion of Emoto. Also, if anyone else can simulate the experiment, please post your results (pictures would be nice too) here.
