23 Jun Scientific Proof That Thoughts Alter The Physical World
You might already know about Dr. Masaru Emoto, the Japanese “scientist” who magically turns normal rice into gross rice, simply by yelling at it.
But for the uninitiated, Dr. Emoto gained international fame from the film What the Bleep Do We Know?!, where he studied the affects of conscious intention on water molecules.
During his experiment, Dr. Emoto separated water into one hundred petri dishes and assigned each dish a fate: good or bad. He then rallied a group of approximately 2,000 people in Tokyo to focus positive or negative intentions on the water samples. The good water was blessed and praised, and the bad water was scolded with aggression. Each petri dish was then frozen, allegedly under the same conditions. When the frozen water was viewed under a microscope, the water which had been praised and valued had rearranged itself into beautiful crystalline structures. The “negative” water was deformed, showing a lack of symmetry and more overall jaggedness and darkness.
Given that humans are comprised of about 60% water, this discovery has far-reaching implications…
Even our smallest, seemingly harmless negative thoughts and energies have a very real affect on the world around us – and within us.
He didn’t stop there though. Dr. Emoto has done it again, this time in an experiment with jars of rice, targeted thoughts, words and intentions.
Dr Emoto placed portions of cooked rice into two containers. On one container he wrote “thank you” and on the other “you fool”. He then instructed school children to say the labels on the jars out loud everyday when they passed them by.
After 30 days, the rice in the container with positive thoughts had barely changed, while the other was moldy and rotten.
The rice experiment is another powerful demonstration of the influence negative thinking has on our physical experience (and conversely, the power of positive thinking).
If this isn’t proof that consciousness and intention can affect the physical material world around us, we don’t know what is. This proven connection can be a powerful motivator of self-discipline the next time you feel like indulging yourself in negativity…
