■ Friday, April 30, 2004 Dallas
Seminar
|
Dallas is located in the central Texas and it is known that J. F.
Kennedy was assassinated and it is also the President Bush's home state.
It is a very conservative town. Being a peace advocate like myself,
I never imagined I would be invited to have a seminar here. This is why I selected Dallas as one of the seminar
locations when I planned the US seminar tour this time. It was a
smaller turnout
than we expected (due
to the forecast of the heavy storm and the media advisory to stay indoors and
we even experienced a hailstorm). However, when I finished the seminar, I received
a standing ovation and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the Texans.
***** Today was my wife's birthday. On my birthday last year, I was at Telaviv in Israel, having a seminar there and the audience celebrated my 60th birthday. I shared the audience here about my wife's birthday and about 250 attendees gave her the warm applause. We will continue our journey and appreciate that our audience celebrates us as we travel around the world. |
■ Wednesday, April 28, 2004 Flagstaff
Seminar
|
Flagstaff is a mountain town in northern Arizona, 2000 meters above
sea level. It is only 45 minutes from the Grand Canyon. The Black Mesa
Committee of the Hopi tribe hosted my seminar at the Northern Arizona
University Auditorium. I didn't know what "black mesa" meant until
I arrived here. I noticed many places named "So-and-so Mesa." Depending
on the geological condition, the mesas may look red, green, or black.
Iron, copper, and coal are the minerals creating these colors respectively. Many years ago, I was told by someone who can see previous lives,
"Mr. Emoto, you were once a master of water in the time of Lemuria,
Atlantis, Maya and Native Indians." I started to believe it since I
have experienced enough coincidences. |
■ Tuesday, April 27, 2004 Sedona
Seminar
|
Continuing from yesterday, Ms. Ruth took us first to the house of
Ms. Walker, the organizer of the seminar. Ms. Walker is a single lady
who moved to this house only two years ago. It is maybe because she
is getting ready to establish a kindergarten; the supporters came to
her house to help her one after another. This, I believe, represents
her personality that allows her to have settled down in the new community
quite easily within a short period. Thanks to her network of connections,
the seminar was successful; 280 seats were sold out quickly and believe
it or not 100 people could not enter and had to go home.
Mr. William Arntz and I discussed the release
of this movie in Japan. They have applied for the Tokyo film festival
in October but other than
that they have not done anything. I was asked for support in many
aspects and of course I was happy to accept it. Anyway we will be able to show
the movie at "The Water and Peace Festival" scheduled in November
(November
27 and 28 in Nihon Seinenkan). Please look forward to it.

■ Monday, April 26, 2004 From
Los Angeles to Arizona
|
In the midst of hectic schedule of this cross continental US seminar
tour, I cannot even have a time for my diary duty. It is already in
the afternoon of the 30th and I am writing this diary sitting on the
seat of rather cramped airplane flying from Phoenix to Dallas. To the
readers of my diary, I have to apologize for my irregular writing schedule. ***** At Phoenix airport, Ms. Ruth Joy was waiting for us. I knew her since she came to Japan to see me in Japan. She came to our project held on July 25the in of delicate our love and appreciation to water of the world. She is a serious supporter of mine.
Arizona seminar will be held on the 27th in Sedona, a famous place
among people of spiritual society and on the 28th in Flagstaff, a town
where many Hope people are living. The start of these seminars goes
always back to about 11 month ago, June of 2003. The elder of Hope
tribe contacted me through Mr. Nemoto of my company to see me. I agreed
with the meeting right away. I wanted to meet a person with an American
Indian heritage.
Now the plane is arriving at Dallas airport, my next destination. So, folks, this story will continue to my tomorrow's diary. |
■ Sunday, April 25, 2004 Los
Angeles Seminar
|
After two hour flight from snowy Denver, Colorado, I arrived at Los Angeles on a summer-like day. At the Los Angeles airport, Mr. Tatsuo Ide, an entrepreneurial dental technician, who had been supportive at my previous seminar, and Ms. Natsuko Sakai, a translator of my website diary, were there to greet me.
This is my fourth seminar in Los Angeles, and this time, the seminar was held in Torrance (Holiday Inn Torrance), which is a large city and has a substantial Japanese population. In Los Angeles seminar, there were similar phenomena as in San Francisco. There were many seats unsold until a week before the seminar. Ms. Sakai, co-organizer of the seminar seemed frustrated, however as the seminar date approached, many people called in and came to the event. Eventually three hundred came to my seminar. There were not too many people who knew about the film yet, but it seemed the spirit of hado is strong in Los Angeles. I was pleased to discover that my books were in demand and more than two hundred books flew off the tables that day.
At the seminar, there was an unexpected guest. There was a lovely lady who sat in the front row and a very smart looking dog beside her. At first, I thought the dog was a seeing-eye guide dog, however, I soon found out that it was a hearing assistance dog. During the three-hour seminar, the dog was very well behaved and loyally by her side. Since I love dogs very much, I thought that I would like to meet them after the seminar to ask her about her companion.
I was happy to have my wish granted. After the seminar, several of us were able to have dinner together. She told me very moving stories. It's almost the time to check out the hotel, and I will tell you more tomorrow. |
■ Saturday, April 24, 2004 Denver
Seminar
|
In the diary in April 22, I wrote, "I felt something great started
moving". But it turned out to be wishful thinking. The organizers
of our seminar in Denver provided us a hotel's party room, which can
accommodate 500 people, however, only 10 % of the capacity, in other
words, 50 people came to that seminar. You may wonder why. To tell
you the truth, there have been much snow around the site for three
days, and many of the roots to the site were closed. Many people cancelled
their attendance. I complained, "Why is there snow in late April!".
But I heard that Denver is located as high as the fifth station of
Mt. Fuji, and it is not unusual to have snow in that season.
Actually, the hotel stood in a vast highland solely. There was no other building around the hotel. It takes more than 1 or 2 hours drive to come to the hotel from another place. To make matters worse, almost all of roots were closed. Though I know that we cannot act against nature, I was shocked by this incident, as my activity was in ascending condition. I suppose that God still provide me a lot of studies. I must pull myself together again. By the way, I could give a very good seminar as usual. Since there was no Japanese, and there were not so many people, I gave a presentation in English. Of course I got some help from my interpreter, but I barely completed my presentation. I was convinced that I have done well because after my seminar 50 volumes of "Message from water Vol. 3" and "Hidden messages in water" were sold. Usually, if the 30 % of attendance buy a book, it indicates the success of a seminar. In this case, 50 people bought 100 books, so the index is 200 %. I suppose that they reworded me for my effort to give a presentation and make myself understood in clumsy English. I thank everyone who bought my books. |
■ Thursday, April 22, 2004 San
Francisco Seminar
|
As a matter of fact, we were staying at Ms. Koinuma's place for two
nights. She was the organizer for the seminars in San Francisco. It
was the day we arrived when we started to get many calls regarding
the seminar. But up till then, there were only signups for about 150
people. Then from yesterday onwards, Ms. Koinuma has been preoccupied
in trying to deal with all the calls, but the number kept increasing.
There was only one phone line and one person to receive the call, so
it seemed like there were many people who couldn’t reach us because
the phone was too busy.
|
■ Wednesday, April 21, 2004 Open
Secret Seminar
|
Still excited from the successful seminar the night before, we left
Portland early in the morning to our next stop, San Francisco.
Seminars in San Rafael, San Francisco and Denver are organized by Mrs. Masayo Koinuma, who is older than me only by four days. Her husband took a position in the USA and brought his family with him. But he passed away 15 years ago. Mrs. Koinuma decided to stay in the US with their three daughters. Now she has become an American citizen and lives in Petaluma, near San Francisco. I became friendly with Mrs. Koinuma only recently. Last year in February, I took a business trip to Los Angeles. She came from San Francisco to introduce me to her Polish friend, Adam (please see my journal of March 16). She later visited me in my Tokyo office and we became close ever since. She is an expert on spirituality with broad knowledge and sensitivity. Once she finds someone who she thinks as extraordinary, she studies his/her work extensively and support it fully. For example, she is a friend of Caroline Myss, Ph.D., the author of "Anatomy of the Spirit." Thanks to Mrs. Koinuma, Dr. Myss kindly wrote a recommendation note to the US version of "Water Knows the Answers." Another friend of Mrs. Koinuma owns a book store named "Open Secret" in San Rafael (one hour from San Francisco), where my seminar took place today. The space can hold about 100 people, but 160 people showed up. I felt sorry for many of those who had to sit on the floor or stand. Even worse, we had to turn 20 people away. According to the owner of the book store, a flood of phone calls from those who wanted to come started only yesterday. The staff had worked frantically to respond. The movie, "What The #$&! Do We Know!?" has not been shown in this town and hardly anybody knows about it. Even the organizer was puzzled why so many people rushed in at the last minute. I am curious to see how tomorrow's San Francisco seminar will turn out. |
■ Tuesday, April 20, 2004 Portland
(2)
|
The 7:30 seminar was held in the hall (capacity of 530 people) at
a large sport club that Cynthia-san is a member of. Since 100 more
people came, we urgently arranged an additional room with a large screen. I appeared on the stage mumbling "from pentagon to hexagon" having a hexagonal star on the chest, worked through the two-our seminar, receiving thunderous applause several times to conclude on a successful note. I was then thankful when they all stood up praising me for the seminar. |
■ Monday, April 19, 2004 Portland
(1)
|
At 9:00 in the morning, Ms. Crystal came to the hotel to pick us up and we headed to Portland, Oregon on the flight at 11:00. At the airport, the chief executive officer of the publishing company of "The Hidden Messages in Water", Ms. Cynthia and the interpreter, Ms. Hosoyamada came to pick us up. Ms. Hosoyamada has been living in America for 18 years and now she works in the field of healing mainly with acupuncture. She knew Ms. Yuhi Nakano, so we asked her to be our interpreter.
As we arrived at 12:30, we went straight to our first interview at the radio station. Ms. Hosoyamada prepared rice balls for our lunch, so we ate them gratefully while we were waiting for our turn at the radio station. There is nothing better than rice balls made by Japanese who live on the land.
After that, we had another interview waiting for us at a different radio station. This is what I feel every time, but I like radio interviews. It is very hard to describe in words how we turn the invisible world into discernable things, but through trail and error, I start to get the knack for it. So there are many times when I get inspirations about expressions and phrases that I can use in my seminars. At both of the radio station, the hosts
had deep understanding of the crystals so I had a wonderful time.
Both of them already
read
the "Hidden
Messages in Water" and asked me very good questions that
I had to keep my gears on. |
■ Sunday, April 18, 2004 Vashon
Island
|
Today, I went to Vashon Island. It takes about 20 minutes from Seattle
to the island by ferry. Ms. Korina, who came to my seminar in Vancouver
a year ago, asked me to attend the meeting of the island's local community.
Ms. Korina is a healer, and she heals people using a crystal.
I came back to my hotel at 6:30
p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura took us to Japanese restaurant a little
far from my hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura attended my seminar
yesterday, so we got to know each other In such a way, even in the foreign country, "Message from Water"
enabled me to have enjoyable conversation and dinner. Though having
a long tour
is not an
easy work, but such things give me joy and delight. |
■ Saturday, April 17, 2004 Seattle
|
Finally, we are heading for Seattle. Leaving at the Haneda Airport
at 5 pm on the 16th, we are flying to Seattle, a capital of Washington
State, via San Francisco. My wife is a big fun of ANA and we decided
to take the airline instead of flying with the United's direct flight.
ANA surely gave us a comfortable flight. In terms of food and services,
they are our favorite airline. By
the way, I wrote about the movie shot in Portland, Oregon in my previous
episode, I saw
the positive influence in the audience. 50
out of 300 people in the audience had watched the movie before
they came to the seminar. At the beginning of the seminar, I played
a
3 minutes DVD (Dr. Emoto Promotional Trailer) edited for this tour.
Since
the majority of audience had not seen the movie, the DVD gave a
good introduction to the seminar.
After the seminar, we had an interview by local TV and radio stations. It was a busy seminar having no enough time for lunch break, but I had the satisfaction that I gave a good seminar. I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment while having an interview from a female interviewer and answering to her questions in my broken English.
I was invited to
a dinner from members of Women's Association for Environment
and enjoyed the discussion. Especially, they were interested
in my theory regarding hemp. They promised to inform me of
the
International Hemp Festival held in this town every year.
If you are interested
in hemp, please look forward to the information. |
■ Friday, April 16, 2004 Taking
off to the USA! See you!
|
It was such a relief to hear that the three
Japanese hostages were released. It has been quite an experience for
all of us. I imagine
that each one of us has had different opinions and emotions throughout
the course of the kidnapping. Before we forget them, let's get together
and talk. We would be discussing many important issues, raised by the
three hostages. The three, as a result, risked their lives and brought
up many big questions to the world. Just about when I was to leave, Ume-chan came running up to me, out of breath. She brought me three hexagonal badges, beautiful star shaped ones which I liked very much at a seminar titled "Calendar with Thirteen Months." Yesterday, Nemoto-kun suggested, "Wouldn't
it be
nice if you wear the star when you lecture in America?" and
I said, "That's a good idea." So he told Ume-chan, who kindly made the
stars. |
■ Tuesday, April 13, 2004 Let
us pray for safe release of the three hostages
|
At present, at 2:00 pm on April 13, the three Japanese hostages who
were abducted near Perugia, Iraq have not been released yet. Since
it was once heard that "they would be released within 24 hours", the
level of disappointment that their families had to face has been beyond
what we can imagine.
I would appreciate it if you email this picture to as many friends of yours as possible. |
■ Monday, April 12, 2004 DVD

■ Monday, April 5, 2004 “What
the $#*! Do We Know?”
|
Dr. Jose Arguelles' Japan Seminar Tour, held on Saturday April 3rd was very successful, and had 950 guests. This is Dr. Arguelles' eighth visit to Japan. He was pleased with his visit to Japan and promised that he could come back at least five more times (to make the total visits of thirteen times) before he departed for his next stop. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all those who attended. The seminar concluded at 9:30 PM. As I autographed the books, one
young lady said, "I was in Seattle when I saw the film that you mentioned
earlier. It was very good. I don't understand English well, but enjoyed
it and saw it four times." One day, she began to experience mysterious events. While walking through her town, she saw a basketball rolling on her way. She tried to ignore it but a voice of a child followed her and asked, "Why don't you pick up the ball?" She found a young African American boy standing by the basketball court on the street, who was asking her to return the ball to him. She reluctantly picked up the ball and threw it to him. However the boy threw it back to her as if he wanted her to be more serious about playing the game. She
looked upset and threw the ball back to him with more effort. However,
the ball came back to her with more vigor. After a few times, he finally
asked her to get into the court with him, but she was reluctant. Finally,
she decided
to be in a court, and the moment she entered into, some sort of barrier
was developed; an image that there are two different dimensions between
the field
outside and inside of the court. |

Lunar Calendar
|
After two weeks of traveling through Europe, I returned to the office on March 31st to very exciting news. The film "What the $#*! Do We Know?", in which my book "Message from Water" was referenced, premiered with much acclaim in the Oregon and Washington State area. Please visit http://www.whatthebleep.com/ for more information. After a little more preparation, I will share with you more details
in next week's diary. For now, I can tell you that I am starting
my U.S. seminar tour of twelve cities starting on April 16th in
Seattle.
For some reason, I feel that God arranged me a special gift for this
tour. I have
met
Dr.
Arguelles
twice in the past and have been
a supporter of his vision
since I first heard of this idea in 1996. We as I.H.M. Hado Fellowship are
supporting to promote this event through a request from Mr. Hirohide
Yanase. |
