prose Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 [url="http://www.whatthebleep.com/crystals/"]http://www.whatthebleep.com/crystals/[/url] I thought this was really interesting. What do you think? Fraud? Actual?
Balthazor Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Actually very interesting, I have heard of studies where one sample of water was blessed and the other wasn't and the both were covered and left out for a week The blessed sample always came out with less harmful contaminants, than the non-blessed one. This work seems to follow the same line. I do not think that water in itself has a conciousness, however I do know that there is so much in this world that we don't see, feel or know that something could be causing this reaction in the water.
prose Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 I don't believe that there is any consciousness involved either, but I DO believe that it makes sense that such a natural substance would react to different stimuli in such different ways. It got me to thinking about teens and their brain development. If the water in their system is exposed to music that changes the water crystals, are they permanently affecting the biochemistry of their brain?
Balthazor Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I am sorry for not being a good debate partner because I agree with you 100%. Similar studies have been done to plants. Playing different kind of music and monitoring the plant growth and development. I really beleive that violence and negativity in and of itself can be harmful on a wide scale.
prose Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah, maybe this is an Open Mic type subject...
Fidei Defensor Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I love that film. I think it speaks volumes to the power of intention and the power of positivity.
ardillacid Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 The movie is full of poo. but fun to watch haha

The movie was made by a New Age cult that believes in this warrior from Atlantis called "Ramtha". It's come under heavy fire from the scientific community as for the most part being pseudoscience. Here's an article from the Guardian detailing the opinion of a few leading scientists on the film. [url="http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featurepages/0,,1484925,00.html"]http://film.guardian.co.uk/features/featur...1484925,00.html[/url]. Just to reference a few points made by the scientists. Richard Dawkins: [quote]Over-use of the word "paradigm" is a pretty good litmus for inclusion in the scientific equivalent of Pseud's Corner, and the film's "expert" talking heads score highly. Perhaps the leading one is "Ramtha", a dead warrior from Atlantis who addresses us (in a fake accent) through his "channeler", a woman called JZ (Judy) Knight, founder of the Ramtha Cult which sponsored the film. Thirty-five thousand years in the grave have not dulled Ramtha's business sense: he charges $1,000 per counselling session. Poor JZ has her work cut out.[/quote] Clive Greated: [quote]Masaru Emoto's photographs of water, which Amanda comes across after missing the underground train, are even more confusing. Pictures we are shown from his dark-field microscope are presumably of tiny frozen water droplets. These patterns are dependent on the complex structure of ice and are influenced by any suspended matter in the water so it is hardly surprising that he obtained lots of interesting shapes. The idea that he can change these by thought processes or by sticking messages on bottles is ridiculous though.[/quote]

Ramtha is HUNGRY!! Ramtha also believes in abortion & apparently uses the word f*ck a lot... Got this video as a present a couple of years ago. Did some research on it & it's a bunch of crapola. Sorry I lost track of all my sources.... Edited September 6, 2008 by Cow of Shame

Ziggamafu Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 How ironic. My neighbor recently lent my that DVD to watch. I had not actually watched it yet. I figured it would be New Age, however, since she also lent me [i]The Secret.[/i]
T-Bone _ Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 One of my old roommates loved that movie. I couldn't stand to watch it.
Brother Adam Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Turned it off after 10 minutes. Boring as all get out and full of nonsense.
