An interview with Dr. Masaru Emoto

Hado creates words.
Words are the vibrations of nature
Therefore beautiful words create beautiful nature.
Ugly words create ugly nature.
This is the root of the universe.”

Masaru Emoto

Dr. Masaru Emoto was born in Yokohama in July 1943. His initial education was in Humanities and Sciences at Yokohama Municipal University . In 1992 he received certification from the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. Subsequently he was introduced to the concept of micro cluster water in the US and Magnetic Resonance Analysis technology. His quest thus began to discover the mystery of water. “I undertook research of water around the planet not so much as a scientific researcher but as an original thinker, as a human being,” he says. “At length I realized that it was in the water crystal that water showed us its true nature.”

Dr. Emoto began his experimentation and subsequently has written a variety of books in Japanese, some of which have been translated into English. He is currently the head of the I.H.M.General Research Institute Inc., the President of I.H.M.Inc.and the chief representative of I.H.M.'s HADO Fellowship. The following is a composite interview from several sources, including The Bleeping Herald.

What started your investigation of water properties?

Emoto: I was doing health counseling using Magnetic Resonance Analysis, Hado measuring machine. One day I had to measure the Hado of some patient only from her name. (According to Dr. Emoto, Hado is the intrinsic vibrational pattern at the atomic level in all matter, the smallest unit of energy. Its basis is the energy of human consciousness.) Then I found out that written letters contain information. From this experience, I showed letters “thank you” and “you fool” to water. As the result, water shown “thank you” formed a beautiful water crystal but water shown “you fool” formed ugly water crystal. Also I was attracted by micro clustered water which I came across in the U.S, 20 years ago, and I wanted to pursue the true figure of water. That’s how I came to this work.

What were the first steps?

Emoto: We used a refrigerator for household use at first and made ice in its freezer. Even photo was taken in a room at normal temperature. Thus condition was really bad and it was hard to take photographs. But an employee in charge kept trying and after two months finally took a beautiful hexagonal crystal for the first time. After that, we obtained a huge refrigerator and a freezer to create better environment. (To read how the photos are taken hado.net/watercrystals/photographs.php )

I was under the impression that water crystals are highly individual and never repeat patterns. If you are freezing your samples to photograph the crystals, are all the crystals of each sample alike? For example if you have frozen water that was impressed with the word, "love," are all the crystals alike? And if not, how do you select which crystal is representative of "love?"

Emoto : We take 50 photographs from one sample of water. There are no beautiful water crystals obtained from polluted water or tap water which is treated by chemicals unless the energy of human prayer is sent to the water. The pattern of the water crystal is also different too. On the other hand, the water which is treated by the way water likes, the water shows beautiful water crystals in a different ways. Some are alike and some are different.  It is like a class room which has 50 students and a teacher, where each student are impressed and influenced by the teacher’s teaching in different ways. I am the one who always select one water crystal from 50 pictures and I always select one with using my aesthetic sense. In terms of selection of water crystal, I think I can say that there has been always constancy because I am the only one to select the water crystal.

How do you think that your discovery affects the way we think about the world, about ourselves and the others?

Emoto: From ancient days they say water is the origin of all creation. When you truly understand this and realize human consciousness or word can impact on the structure of water is when you understand all creation is made up with our conscious mind.
