Water crystal replication study with Dr. Emoto and Dr. Radin (Blog)

[jacob]

Discuss here the following article from mind-energy.net blog.
I believe that if you're somewhat interested in parapsychology or if you have seen the movie What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole (you might like it if you liked The Secret movie or book) then you've heard about the study of Dr. Masaru Emoto, where he claims that people's intentions change the structure of water crystals. 

There was some criticism of the study and Dr. Dean Radin, with Dr. Emoto and other people decided to make a replication of this study, with tighter controls. The research was triple-blind, meaning that nobody knew everything - the people giving intentions, the raters, the photographers and researchers. All this should control for some biases that are usually present in loosly controlled experiments.

Now, Dr. Radin published some results of the research on his blog. Some excerpts:

An experiment tested the hypothesis that water exposed to distant intentions affects the aesthetic rating of ice crystals formed from that water. Over three days, 1,900 people in Austria and Germany focused their intentions towards water samples located inside an electromagnetically shielded room in California. Water samples located near the target water, but unknown to the people providing intentions, acted as "proximal" controls. Other samples located outside the shielded room acted as distant controls.

And some of the results:

Results suggested that crystal images in the intentionally treated condition were rated as aesthetically more beautiful than proximal control crystals (p = 0.03, one-tailed). This outcome replicates the results of an earlier (double blind) pilot test.

Some more information, including good Q&A in the posts comments can be found in the original post by Dean Radin. This may prove to be a very interesting and important experiment.

If it is proven that remote intention can change matter, then it's a whole new world. This can explain remote healing, micro-psychokinesis and other aspects and effects of psi.

Most of us can easily understand intention and distance healing is no problem.

We can now demonstrate with meridian energy graphing, using the latest instruments connected to computers, that even distance energy healing dramatically changes these energy meridian graphs. Ghosts & Spirits also show up as disturbances which disappear once they are removed.

If we can affect something so powerfully from such a large distance, what are we doing to celebrities?

I believe the world created Michael Jackson and the world also killed him.

Sure collectively many minds can affect or create a situation. However so can people themselves and this is infinitely more powerful than outside influences.

I have heard about these studies a few years ago, quite a time before I saw "What the Bleep" and read "the Secret". I was fascinated, but forgot about it after a while.
But within the last two months two friends told me independant of each other, that they are concerned with this matter. One of them, Q Moayad, called "The naked healer", is a professional life coach, his main focus is on business coaching, but he is a doctor as well and he knows a lot about nutrition and what our bodies need to work without problems. He told me, that is does matter, how the food we eat is produced, we started talking about meat and the way the cattle is slaughtered and finally we talked about water and its quality! It is amazing, what influence thoughts have on water! And how many thoughts are around us every day! Maybe this is the reason, why some people can really "feel" it when they enter a room where others are in a bad mood!
