Information regarding Dr. Emoto for those of you who might not remember his work.....

Miraculous Messages from Water
How water structure reflects our consciousness

by WellnessGoods.com

Water has a very important message for us. Water is telling us to take a much deeper look at our selves. When we do look at our selves through the mirror of water, the message becomes amazingly, crystal, clear. We know that human life is directly connected to the quality of our water, both within and all around us.

The photographs and information in this article reflect the work of Masaru Emoto, a creative and visionary Japanese researcher Mr. Emoto has published an important book, "The Message from Water" from the findings of his worldwide research If you have any doubt that your thoughts affect everything in, and around you, the information and photographs that are presented here, taken from the book of his published results, will change your mind and alter your beliefs, profoundly.

How the molecular structure of water is affected...

From Mr. Emoto's work we are provided with factual evidence, that human vibrational energy, thoughts, words, ideas and music, affect the molecular structure of water, the very same water that comprises over seventy percent of a mature human body and covers the same amount of our planet. Water is the very source of all life on this planet, the quality and integrity are vitally important to all forms of life. The body is very much like a sponge and is composed of trillions of chambers called cells that hold liquid. The quality of our life is directly connected to the quality of our water.

Water is a very malleable substance. Its physical shape easily adapts to whatever environment is present. But its physical appearance is not the only thing that changes, the molecular shape also changes. The energy or vibrations of the environment will change the molecular shape of water. In this sense water not only has the ability to visually reflect the environment but it also molecularly reflects the environment.

Mr. Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water and then examines them under a dark field microscope that has photographic capabilities. His work clearly demonstrates the diversity of the molecular structure of water and the effect of the environment upon the structure of the water.

Discover how each source has an effect on the visual photographed structure...

Snow has been falling on the earth for more than a few million years. Each snowflake, as we have been told, has a very unique shape and structure. By freezing water and taking a photograph of the structure, as Mr. Emoto has done, you get incredible information about the water.

Mr. Emoto has discovered many fascinating differences in the crystalline structures of water from many different sources and different conditions around the planet. Water from pristine mountain streams and springs show the beautifully formed geometric designs in their crystalline patterns. Polluted and toxic water from industrial and populated areas and stagnated water from water pipes and storage dams show definitively distorted and randomly formed crystalline structures.

Japan Shimanto River, referred to as the last clean stream in Japan


Antarctic Ice


Fountain in Lourdes, France


Biwako Lake, the largest lake at the center of Japan and the water pool of the Kinki Region. Pollution is getting worse.


Yodo River, Japan, pours into the Bay of Osaka. The river passes through most of the major cities in Kasai.


Untreated Distilled Water


Fujiwara Dam, before offering a prayer

With the recent popularity in music therapy, Mr. Emoto decided to see what effects music has on the structuring of water. He placed distilled water between two speakers for several hours and then photographed the crystals that formed after the water was frozen.

Sorry... the photo's didn't download.. I'll go get the url for the info and post it...

with the Screening of the Ground-Breaking Documentary Film "WATER"

Best-selling author and internationally renowned water researcher, Dr. Masaru Emoto will make his first appearance at The Reconnection’s 6th Annual Mastery Conference highlighted by a screening of the innovative film "WATER" to be held the evening of September 17th at the Universal Hilton in Los Angeles. A leading researcher and pioneer in the study of water, Dr. Emoto and his revolutionary discoveries are featured in this break-through film. The film challenges audiences to explore water – the most abundant resource on the planet and 70% of our bodies - as we have never seen it before.

The VIP premiere event will take place at 7pm on September 17th, 2008 at the Hilton Universal City, 555 Universal Hollywood Drive -Ballroom D, Universal City in Los Angeles. The evening will be hosted by Internationally recognized healer and best-selling author Eric Pearl and The Reconnection.

The evening will commence with a presentation by Dr. Masaru Emoto and Konstantin Korotkov featuring their latest experiments from Lake Baikal, Russia.

Following the screening of the film "Water", there will be Q & A panel discussion with Eric Pearl, Dr. Masaru Emoto , Konstantin Korotkov, Betsy Chasse co-founder of Intention Media and co-creator of the hit film "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" and the film's producer Russian Filmmaker Saida Medvedeva.
The screening will kick off The Reconnection’s 6th Annual Mastery Conference: Science, Consciousness and Healing, September 18-21, also at the Hilton Universal City, presenting some of the most powerful and insightful teachers and researchers on the planet, including Eric Pearl, Dr. Masaru Emoto (costar of Water), Konstantin Korotkov (costar of Water), William Tiller (costar of What the Bleep), Gary Schwartz (costar of the upcoming movie The Voice), worldwide bestselling author Dannion Brinkley (Saved by the Light and At Peace in the Light), Lee Carroll (Kryon and Indigo Children books), Terry Cole-Whittaker (Dare to Be Great) and more. To learn more about the conference and how you can attend please visit http://www.TheReconnection.com/seminars/LosAngeles2008

The film "WATER" investigates the most abundant yet least studied substance on earth, as Nobel prize winning scientists and leading minds explore the powerful connection between “our water planet” and its inhabitants. In the last few years, a revolution has taken place in the science community explaining the structure of water and how easily it can be changed.This fascinating and detailed information is featured in the film by researchers from Russia, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Israel, the US, Britain, Austria, Japan, Argentina, China and Tibet, including world famous water researcher and New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Masaru Emoto of "What the Bleep Do We Know?!.” The film covers a vast array of water related topics including it's relationship to biology, religion, science, parenting, conservation efforts, behavior, and politics and explores how human intentions not only can change the structure of water, but how our thoughts can alter our environment.


"Just as with the film "What The Bleep" , "WATER" shows us through science that our thoughts have an effect on our external reality. Imagine the possibilities when people realize their own potential for creativity. Films like this give me hope that there is an emergence of collective intelligence that can solve the problems of the world." Deepak Chopra

The Department of Heartland Security Recommends "Wise USA"
To Help Bring About Political Climate Change

October 10, 2008

"Instead of giving our leaders a piece of our minds, maybe we should try giving them a mind of our peace instead." -- Swami Beyondananda

In these times of political polarization and economic distress, we are launching the Department of Heartland Security http://www.departmentofheartlandsecurity.org/
to promote health, coherence, sanity and wisdom in the body politic. Prior to our official launch on January 11, 2009, we will be highlighting projects and programs that offer healing and enlightenment in the domains of Heart, Land and Security:
Heart represents our universal spiritual foundation, the vast and untapped resource of love and connection.
Land represents a restorative, sustainable economy that empowers a mutually beneficial partnership between human and biosphere.
Security represents our evolution from the single cell "every-cell-for-itself" philosophy to the multi-cell "we're-all-in-this together." In doing so, we move from survival of the fittest to thrival of the fittingest, from mutually-assured destruction to mutually-assured survival.

In the first such endorsement in the Heart domain, we are happy to present WiseUSA '08, a worldwide teleclass, meditation and ceremony to mobilize millions of people to "participate in subtle activism ... to call forth wise leadership in America." Co-sponsored by CommonPassion.org and a host of global collaborators, the project will use leading-edge internet technologies to link millions of people in meditation and prayer in the lead up to the U.S. election to "call on Americans to use their deepest wisdom as they consider and cast their votes for President this November."

According to the WiseUSA press release, "During the teleconferences and web-discussions, participants will learn about and apply 'subtle activism,' discuss what it means to live from a place of wisdom, and explore other ideas about what can be done to support the emergence of wisdom in American politics and daily life."

The program officially began on Wednesday, October 1st with a series of teleconferences and audio webcasts featuring spiritual teachers from around the world, and will culminate in a 13 day intensive program that runs from October 25th to November 6th. This interactive program will peak on November 2, 2008 in a Global Ceremony featuring meditation, prayer and music which will simultaneously bring together public gatherings in Washington D.C., San Jose, and other major cities. These locations will be linked by videoconference and the event will be broadcast live online to hundreds of groups and tens of thousands of individuals worldwide.
Here is the proposed focus for the meditation:
We, the people, the ancestors of our great, great grandchildren call forth the deepest wisdom and highest compassion from the heart and soul of America, for the benefit of the entire Earth community and the next seven generations. May wisdom prevail in the USA. May peace prevail on Earth.

I am happy to say that I will be participating as well, leading a one-hour teleclass on Heartland Security on Monday, October 27th from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. PCT. Other featured speakers include Marianne Williamson, Gabriel Cousens M.D., Alfredo Sfeir Younis, Dattatreya Siva Baba, David Spangler, Lynne Twist, Howard Martin, James O'Dea, Elizabeth Tobin, Arthur Collins, Joseph Giove, James Twyman, Corinne McLaughlin, Rev. Ellen Grace O'Brian, Max Simon, and more. You can find out more by going here, or by contacting David Nicol -- dnicol@ciis.edu, 510-525-9516 / 510-299-5698, or Joseph Giove -- jgiove@commonpassion.org, 925 215 4017.
Do we have the power to initiate a true political climate change? Well, perhaps if we all blow in the same direction at the same time, we can stir the winds of change. It couldn't hurt to try. Let's give 'em a mind of our peace!

Inspired by this communication? If you'd like to find out more about the foundations of Heartland Security, order Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and How to Get There From Here featuring cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton and myself. If you'd like to join the Heartland Matrix community -- at no cost -- please go here: http://www.departmentofheartlandsecurity.org/

Remember, we are the leaders we have been waiting for ... and we may very well be the answer to our own prayers!
Heartfully yours,

Steve Bhaerman and the Heartland Matrix team.

Mayan Majix Announcement

The 6th Day of the Galactic Consciousness Cycle

13 - Crocodile (Imix) November 13, 2008


Dear Mayan Majix Friends,


I have a number of announcements today.


1) Today begins the 6th Day of the Galactic Consciousness Cycle. To view a simple chart showing the dates for the
Day and Night periods of the Galactic Consciousness Cycle you can go to this link:
http://www.mayanmajix.com/cycles.html


To refresh your memory on the Mayan Calendar and the Evolution of Consciousness presented by Ian Xel Lungold
you can view the transcript to Ian's 2004 Mayan Calendar talk:
http://www.mayanmajix.com/Mayan_Calendar_Comes_North.pdf

or view the on-line video in the Learning Lab section of Mayan Majix:
http://www.mayanmajix.com/lab_F1.html

2) William and Viola Welsch have written an excellent article on the 6th Day. Please check it out at this link:
http://www.mayanmajix.com/art3762.html

3) Here is Simone Butler's take on the 6th Day:

"On November 13, the Sixth Day of the Mayan Calendar dawns. This is expected to be an unparalleled time of enlightenment. At the last Sixth Day, from 1952-1972, beatniks and flower children shook off their shackles and embraced a new consciousness. This time, we'll take the process to the next level. The chaos that will reign through the two-year period of the Sixth Day and Night is necessary for the creation of an enlightened world. The Golden Age can only emerge out of a series of transformative pulses, including periods of destruction. The very process that breaks down the world economic and political hierarchy also paves the way for a new world to flower."

You can read the entire article titled - NOVEMBER THEME: Winds of Change at this address:
http://www.astroalchemy.com/thismonth.html

4) Here is Karen Majorowski's take on the End of the 5th Night and Beginning of the 6th Day:

Achieve articles on Linda -- Thread posted by Listens to Trees...

This posting is too good to miss, and since the articles can go to back pages, I'm posting it here as well.

* May 14, 1979
* Vol. 11
* No. 19


Why Did Her Lover Flee? Is Her Daughter Dead? Linda Goodman Seeks Answers in the Stars

As dawn breaks over her remote aerie high in the Colorado Rockies, Linda Goodman shakes off sleepiness, feeds wood into the stove against the chill and sets about a bizarre daily ritual. To the low recorded music of a Gregorian chant, she lights candles on a handmade altar and recites a mystical litany she created six years ago as a message to her departed loved ones. It begins with the prayer of St. Francis: "Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace..."

Goodman's life defies imagination. On the one hand, she is a very rich woman, made so by her wildly popular books on astrology. Her 1968 explanation of the zodiac titled Sun Signs sold four million copies, and paperback rights to her current best-seller, Love Signs, went last year for $2.25 million, equaling the record held by Mario Puzo's Fools Die. By any standard, Goodman at 54 is the most influential astrologer in the world. But she has also become a recluse, hidden away in Cripple Creek, Colo., haunted by the disappearance of the two most important people in her life within the space of 20 months. One was her lover, Robert Brewer, a marine biologist of 22 who fled to Mexico without explanation in the spring of 1972 and has not been seen since. The other was her daughter, Sally, officially listed by the New York medical examiner as a suicide just before Christmas 1973, a casualty of liquor and barbituates at 21.

Goodman believes Brewer will return soon of his own accord; she keeps a place set for him at the dining table. Her grief over Sally, a budding actress and drama school graduate, has taken a more obsessive turn. "I know Sally is not dead," says Goodman. "I've done her chart over and over again. An astrologist can't predict death, but I can foresee non-death. I don't know exactly why she was taken, but I feel the time is right for her to reappear. The only reason I'm talking now is hope that I'll find some lead to her."

Cause for hope seems slim. Sally had a period of depression and was hospitalized after a suicide attempt at the age of 18. Her body was identified in the New York morgue by Linda's second husband, Sam Goodman. (Still legally married, they have lived separately for 12 years, but still relate "as brother and sister," she says.) After an autopsy, police declared the case closed and Sam had the body cremated. Linda was penniless then, living in Cripple Creek on welfare and the generosity of such celebrity acquaintances as Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw. According to Linda, her royalties from Sun Signs had been withheld when she failed to deliver a second book to her publisher as promised. Friends helped her buy an airline ticket to New York, where she lived out of a suitcase and occasionally slept on the grounds of St. Patrick's Cathedral while tracking down leads on her own. Within a few days Sam recanted his identification of the body ("I was all hyped up at the time," he says), but he was still skeptical of her investigation. "He would say, 'Linda, you've got to stop this and face the fact that she's dead,' " she recalls. "But I couldn't."

Linda faulted the police work from the beginning. The suicide note, she swears, was not in Sally's handwriting. There was no empty pill bottle in the apartment. Police reported no signs of violence, but Goodman says she found bloodstains and bleached hair, although her daughter was a natural blonde. "For seven months I stayed in New York, going from homicide to the DA's office," she says. "I became a pariah. I never got any answers. They promised me blood and lab reports. In the end, I got nothing. They just said, 'Well, there was some mistake.' "

Last year, when her $500,000 advance for Love Signs came through, she hired Ray Neff, 55, a professor of health and safety at Indiana State University with a background in forensic medicine. From his study of police, lab and autopsy reports, Neff has concluded that the body could not have been Sally's. He says, among other things, that she was two inches taller and 25 pounds lighter than the corpse, that the high level of drugs in the bloodstream could indicate homicide possibly by injection, and that he has found a witness who drove Sally to Boston the day she was supposed to have died. "I am certain Sally survived the whole thing," Neff says. "Perhaps she's married and living somewhere quietly." A Goodman family friend believes the young woman may have just wanted to drop out: "I think she had trouble accepting her mother's life-style."

Linda Goodman's case is not helped, it is true, by her profession and lifestyle. She first ventured into astrology when Sam, a onetime disc jockey and carnival comic, brought home The Coffee Table Book of Astrology in the mid-'60s. Her first marriage, to a writer named Bill Snyder, had ended in divorce a decade later. (Three of their five children died in infancy; only Sally and a younger brother survived.) Linda's two children by Sam were then school age. "I think she stayed in a nightgown studying astrology 20 hours a day for a year," Sam recalls. By 1970 Sun Signs was on the best-seller lists, she and Sam had split, and she was deep into a new circle of friends and concerns on the outer limits of theology.

The 10-room Victorian house where she has lived in utmost simplicity since moving to Cripple Creek remains an open classroom on vegetarianism, reincarnation and metaphysics. It is also HQ for the religion she started with her lover Brewer called "Mannitou," an odd blend of Franciscan and American Indian teachings. Mannitou gets 49 percent of her earnings tax-free; the list of other causes to which she has given money is long, including an environmental group, a plastic surgeon whose work she admires, a plant-life experimenter, husband Sam ("He's been a rock of Gibraltar") and the family of a deceased former literary agent, to whom she gives five percent of her net. "I've seen her empty her pockets to anyone who asks," says her accountant, Joel Cohen. Adds a friend: "She's incredibly naive."

Goodman's current literary projects tend to cast further doubt on her credibility—an autobiographical account of reincarnation and a book-in-progress about Howard Hughes, who she claims is alive and living in Alaska. Her dark theories on the case seem equally strange. They involve organized crime and/or the CIA. "I don't see death in Sally's chart," Linda says, "but shock, amnesia, seclusion and a convent. I've heard the government hides lots of witnesses." Grasping at straws, she also suggests that her troubles may be rooted in the fight with her first publisher. Improbably, she claims that a now-dead Chicago mobster threatened her into signing a contract that gave the publisher half of her future royalties. "I'm not sure what motivates Linda," says her lawyer, Arthur Klebanoff, who arranged to buy her out of that agreement for $250,000. "The intensity of her concern makes it clear that she felt she was being forced to act under duress."

Finally, Professor Neff concedes that some of his conclusions are still questionable. Certain discrepancies, he admits, "could be just sloppy police reporting," and the witness to Sally's presence in Boston has yet to be examined. Neff, who is trying to sell a manuscript contending that John Wilkes Booth actually escaped the barn fire after assassinating Lincoln, sums up: "We have lots of leads, but not enough solid evidence."

The retired New York detective, Al Desmond, who investigated Sally's death insists there isn't any evidence to find. "There was a rambling suicide note," Desmond recalls. "The father identified her. Then 10 days later the mother comes to town saying—hold your hat—she dreamed her daughter was still alive. She was very domineering, so Sam changed his mind. But we exhausted everything."

Still, even Desmond wishes there had been more positive identification of the body, if only to account for differences between the police and autopsy reports and the facts about Sally that have come to light since. Even Linda Goodman admits, "It's all very confusing—like the Mad Hatter's tea party."

Her curious profession may hold some key to her faith that she is right. A well-known astrologer on the East Coast, provided (by PEOPLE) with the date and place of Linda's birth (West Parkersburg, Va., April 9, 1925) but not with her identity, describes "an Aries who has a tendency to spin dreams. She is not a liar—she just dramatizes things. She tries to make her fantasies come true." Indirectly, Goodman's explanation seems to agree. "I admit that to be an astrologer you live a great deal in the imagination," she says. "But about Sally I'm like any distraught mother. I just want my daughter back." http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20073623,00.html

*(Of course, I don't agree with the journalist's left-brained opinions of Linda, but I think there are some bits of information in there which do perhaps help bring together the missing pieces of the puzzle).
