What do we know?

Category: Editorial

For a year or more now I have been wanting to find out about quantum energy. I have reviewed the book Success Engineering by Phil gosling, which described the concepts of manifestation and parallel realities. That was a start.

I wonder whether we are on the threshold of a new age in which we shall discover lots of new intelligence and energy - or whether we are actually rediscovering what was known long ago.

At the CoachVille conference we were shown a film, 'What the bleep do we know?', that also addressed these isssues and attempted to introduce them with a mixture of a story, scientific evidence and interviews with scientists. It was an odd and challenging film (and I was still suffering some jet lag). Some people in the audience had already seen the film once and were excited by it, and confirmed that it was a film that needed to be seen several times. Then later in the conference we had a talk by the co-producer, Mark Vincente, explaining why he had made it and how it had been received around the world.

It has certainly had a major impact. Here is an extract from a web site reporting its release in Australia at the beginning of May.

The boundary-breaking film What the Bleep do we Know!? that made US$12 million in the USA and created a cultural phenomenon with study-groups, a best selling book and internet forums galore, has come to Australia, and is now playing at Luna Cinemas Leederville.

What the Bleep do we Know!?, a film that melds science and spirituality, made $40.775 over the weekend on just five screens making it number one in the cinemas it played in.

Incredibly, What the Bleep do we Know!? has been released on a plan that breaks from traditional release campaigns with very limited advertising, no reviews and no publicity but rather backed by a heavily targeted marketing campaign using the internet and email networks that have created huge positive word of mouth.

What the Bleep do we Know!? had the highest screen average in the entire country, with $8,155, beating other week one heavyweights like The Interpreter ($7647), Amityville Horror ($7,032) and Hostage ($4,993).

The film is available in DVD in the USA and was being released in the UK on May 20.

One of the things that really struck me was a series of photographs of water taken in Japan by Dr. Masaru Emoto. Dr Emoto was born in Japan and is a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University and the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. His photographs were first featured in his self-published books Messages from Water 1 and 2. The Hidden Messages in Water was first published in Japan, with over 400,000 copies sold internationally.

What has put Dr. Emoto at the forefront of the study of water is his proof that thoughts and feelings affect physical reality. By producing different focused intentions through written and spoken words and music and literally presenting it to the same water samples, the water appears to "change its expression"

Essentially, Dr. Emoto captured water's 'expressions.' He developed a technique using a very powerful microscope in a very cold room along with high-speed photography, to photograph newly formed crystals of frozen water samples.

Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colourful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colours.

The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal health. The success of his books outside Japan has been remarkable. Dr. Emoto has been called to lecture around the world as a result and has conducted live experiments both in Japan and Europe as well as in the US to show how indeed our thoughts, attitudes, and emotions as humans deeply impact the environment.

Last Saturday, as part of my campaign for personal life balance, I attended a course on dowsing. I was particularly interested because my last house had no mains water and I had employed a dowser to find a source for a borehole.

This course, however, was about dowsing for energy. The demonstrations were amazing. I could move copper rods dramatically just by changing my thoughts. Rods held by a colleague moved significantly when she walked backwards and reached the end of my energy field and this energy field was dramatically expanded (certainly outside the range of the room) when I simply thought of connecting my energy to the energy of the Universe.

Seeing is believing. We also did exercises with pendulums and the workshop leader explained that not only could he divine water on land but he could find it with a pendulum from a hand drawn map of a site he had never visited.

He also explained about the effect of thoughts on water and showed a book of photographs of crystals taken by Dr Emoto.

Dowsing in the UK and What the Bleep in the USA in just over a week. There is a message building here.

I must say that I heard the end of a discussion on the radio this week about the launch of What the Bleep in the UK and the scientists interviewed were very cynical about it. However, my experience last Saturday shows that not only is there power in thinking, but there is energy too.
