The premise of the book is: We are water. He shares a few more pictures of water crystals and some stories of his life and his perspective on them. He shares his thoughts based on all his experience with water and Hado. He talks about resonance and vibration and offers a plausible story of how we came to be in the universe and the source of water. He also discusses the power of prayer and spoken words are energetically transmitted through the ethers. It begs the question that if the spoken word has such power then how much are we affecting one another and the planet as a whole with our negative speech?

I commend Emoto for sharing his thoughts and stories. It evokes us to realize the obvious that is easily overlooked.

Unfortunately, I didn't find this book as good as Emoto's others (those I've read). (Sorry, Dr. Emoto,)

This was partly because there were bits about musical notes that I didn't understand, partly because of a long chapter expressing Emoto's personal views about the origins of our Earth. He has a theory that water came to Earth by way of comets, and this may well be true, and that the people, animals and so on came later. I agree that human beings originate from other solar systems or what not (See David Icke's books, among others), but not or at least not exclusively from the Big Dipper, as Emoto suggests.

However, I learnt something important from his photo of the crystal formed (or rather not formed) when water was exposed to the words "Do it". I understand that my well-meaning advice to others, including my daughter, in difficult situations is perhaps not as helpful as I thought, since the photo shows that water,for one, wants to make its own mind up as to what to do. (Not that I would say to anyone that they HAD to do something). So thank you, Dr. Emoto.

I was also inspired by the chapter "The power of prayer", where Emoto recounts the result of an experiment where a priest performs incantations and prayers directed to healing the water in the Fujiwara Dam. A week after the treatment, the body of a woman surfaced at the reservoir, the killer being apprehended shortly after. Amazingly, through Emoto's eyes, the water crystal picture prior to the treatment looked like a woman struggling and suffering. After the treatment, and the surfacing of the body, a crystal picture showed a merciful face the author thought resembled that of Mahatma Gandhi. Wondrous things happen in Emoto's world.

So despite my reservations, I feel this is a worthwhile book and recommend it too to those interested in Emoto's work.
