I wonder how many snowmen fell to Earth today unassembled? Dark stealthy clouds rolled in and delivered thousands of delicate, little white doily parachutes. Snowflakes are uncountable and unattainable. I’d like to capture them in a jar like fireflies and study their delicate crystal designs for awhile, but it is not an option. Snowflakes are wild like the wind and cannot be tamed. They will just melt in the jar. When poured out, they begin their next phase of life as water.
A couple of years ago I wrote about a fascinating study concerning water crystals by Dr. Masaru Emoto, entitled “Water Consciousness and Intent." It should interest all of us since we are made of 70% water. At that time I was only considering water crystals, but while watching it snow recently, I thought the same facts apply to frozen water or snowflakes as well.
To refresh your memory, Dr. Emoto was born in Yokohama, Japan, in 1943. A graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University, Dept. of Humanities and Sciences with a focus on International Relations. His water study began in 1993 where Dr. Emoto began cryogenically flash freezing water crystals after exposing them to photos, prayers, names, etc. He then photographed the crystals under a dark field microscope at the Research Center. After introducing pictures of nature and babies, the water crystals formed into delicate, beautiful snowflake designs. The same experiments were done while playing music. Lovely symphonies were played and a myriad of astonishing crystal formations appeared. Then hard rock heavy metal music was played and the photographed crystals were ugly colors, distorted, gross muck. Names like Hitler were mentioned and the water crystals appeared unstable, muddy and dirty. So whether liquid or frozen in snowflake form, water crystals have feelings.
Research is exploding. Scientists are finding water to have consciousness and memory and don’t know why. Just as we know gravity exists, but we don’t know how it works. Water is the most receptive of the four elements. Researchers are having success reclaiming polluted lakes by the introduction of new information along with small amounts of fresh water. Ponder that.
The river of time flows on and now there’s a white blanket of snow outside my window. I think I’ll go out and respectfully have a chit-chat with my snowflakes. I’ll thank all the frozen water crystals and then build a snowman or snow woman or a snow dog. I’ll have to discuss my decision with the snowflakes now that I know of their awareness. Now that I know that yes, snowflakes have feelings too! Ponder that.
