It has been fifteen years since we succeeded in taking the very first photograph of a water crystal. It took more than two months to get that image after we started the experiment. I still remember how deeply moved my staff and I all were when we finally captured it on film. When we developed the photo, a beautiful hexagonal crystal appeared. I was captivated by its beauty, and since then, my team and I have continued taking many water-crystal photos.
The beauty and mystery of the crystals
Among all of the pictures, the most beautiful crystal, in my opinion, is the one that was exposed to the phrase love and gratitude for twenty four hours.
Take a look at this photo. What do you think? To me, it resembles an open flower and emanates a mysterious and graceful light. I donāt think this kind of magnificent beauty can be created by any human being. Even after examining thousands of photos, this is the one that captured my heart, but I wondered how those simple words could give birth to such an exceptionally elegant crystal. This became the burning question that I had to solve at any cost. Looking back now, I realise that the last decade has been dedicated to finding the answer.
In recent years, Iāve finally reached a conclusion. And within it, thereās an important message, that is the theme of Messages from Water and the Universe. Iām going to share what Iāve learned about the truth of the crystal of love and gratitude, and this message couldnāt have arrived at a more perfect time.
The world is in turmoil, as a great turning point is approaching. Many of us are already experiencing the various problems that humanity is facing, such as the economic crisis, diminishing natural resources, or newly emerging diseases that threaten our health, to name but a few. A lot of people are simply at a loss when it comes to how they should live in this chaotic world.
However, everything becomes clear if you listen to the messages taught by water.
I believe what causes our confusion is the fact that we havenāt learned the authentic nature of the world or the essence of living, but this wisdom is revealed in water.
Since I was a child, Iāve wondered about these seemingly simple questions: āWhere did I come from?ā āWhat is my purpose?ā and āWhere am I going after I die?ā Iāve never stopped looking for answers; and when I āmetā water at the age of forty three, I dedicated myself to studying it and have been deeply absorbed by its power ever since. In the course of seeking the truth, Iāve discovered the answers to those fundamental questions. Further, I was led by water to develop my own understanding of the way of life that can bring the greatest happiness, and even how the universe itself was created.
The biggest catalyst for me was gazing upon the crystal of love and gratitude. Water taught me that those words shine most beautifully. In fact, I think theyāre the key words in the coming age of the great transition. Love and gratitude make up the essence of life.
The essence of life
As I travel the world and meet new people, I refer to those who shine with the light of love and gratitude as Aikansha-bito ā ābeautiful humans of love and gratitudeā. When everyone on Earth embraces these values, weāll be surrounded by this spectacular, eternal shining light.
My hope in sharing this message from water is to touch your heart so that you experience peace and healing through love and gratitude. And I would like to dedicate Messages from Water and the Universe to you for that day when youāll be born again as Aikansha-bito.
Know that the best way to shine is to follow your heart and express loving-kindness to everyone you encounter. Always remember that water will show you the way, no matter where you are or what youāre doing.
When you look at a water crystal through a microscope, you can see countless other crystals behind the one youāre focusing on. Itās as if an extended universe exists within a tiny drop of water. When I get a glimpse of this beautiful world, a single thought comes to mind: once we activate our DNA to its full potential, a door to a new way of life will open, When that happens, our hearts will be filled with love and gratitude for each other and the entire planet. Imagine what a wonderful world that will be!
