We stayed in Liechtenstein for 5 days. A while ago, Rasmus gave me a summary of his work and research, and Monica from Vienna, who studies colors, came to see it if was possible to use the crystal pictures as part of the color design for traffic safety.

Also, a professor from Cairo University in Egypt, who studies the prevention of electronic waves, came to have a discussion on the matter of shapes and electronic waves. Then we went to a city in Germany called Rothenburg and inspected the mineral water company there, which took us a whole day. So a busy set of work was waiting for us again. Even though we have not yet officially announced the opening of the institute, there are already many things to be done. So after fall, I imagine that there will be many people from different countries who will visit to bring various ideas and tasks.

On this occasion, Mr. Gaupp, the father of Rasmus, took us around the area where the institute is situated, and for the first time, we found out that this place is very close to the Rhine River. Then an idea flashed in my mind.

This idea was, "Let's make this place the stage for this year's July 25th Project to Send Love and Thanks to the World’s Water". Last year, it took place in Israel and various ceremonies were held around the globe with it. The number of countries supposedly reached 30, and over 100 organizations took part in this project. But for this year, we had no set plan to do it in a particular location. This is because I could not think of a place which could make me say "This is the place!". However, just recently, we received several inquires asking where it would it be held this year, so I was trying to reflect on the possibilities.

As you might know, the Rhine River originates in the Swiss Alps, runs across Austria, Liechtenstein, Germany, France, Holland, and ends up in the Northern Sea. It is a huge river that flows for 1,320 km, and has existed with the history of Europe for a long time. I thought that holding a ceremony that sends Love and Thanks to the world's water in Liechtenstein, which is located on the upper reaches of the stream, and putting the water in the Rhine River will surely bring resonance from people living in these areas (See the figure below).

Also from the prospect of world peace, I extended this idea further. We will hold a memorial seminar at the place, and have participants bring water from their respective towns, and have people from far send water to the Liechtenstein Institute. Of course, we will mix up the water to make into one and we will all send Love and Thanks to it. Then we will put the water into the Rhine River, leaving some of it to take crystal pictures. Afterward, through different websites, we will show those pictures. I wish that everyone would participate in this project in one way or another.

Having finished the U. S. A. seminar series, my next destination was Zurich via Frankfurt. When I arrived at the airport at 8:30 am, Rasmus from the Liechtenstein Institute was waiting to greet us with a smile. To the institute, it is 1 and half hour drive, and as I noted earlier in the diary entry on March 22nd, it is situated in a perfect location where it is surrounding by the Pre-Alps.

The Liechtenstein Institute is located

I would like to introduce what I wrote for the publication in Germany on why and how I built this institute on this land, and the goals that we want to achieve.

Regarding the Establishment of
the Liechtenstein Research Institute

Research on the Crystal Photography over the Ten Years

Ten years have passed since the time I devised the frozen water crystal photography. During this period, we have published books such as the three volumes of "Messages from Water", "Waters Tells Precious Things", and two volumes of "Hidden Messages in Water (direct translation: Water Knows the Answer)", which had an impact in the world on a global scale. I also traveled around the world to provide series of lectures where people wanted me. I fully grasped how people worldwide feel about this technology and reflected this in our further research.

We say ten years is a unit called decade, but this first ten years was a period of dawn, a period of raising problems, and a period of strong movement and action. However, I honestly admit that it has not yet reached the period of 'science'. Rather, we can call it a period of 'art using the means of science'.

Nonetheless, people reacted positively towards this technology and believe this to be convincing or they want to believe that it is convincing. It seems that the basis rests on the 'beauty of water'. As I traveled to different countries, I strongly came to believe that while each country practices different languages, religions, and cultures, all countries share a common recognition of the 'beauty of water'. Through the slide shows I presented, I have experienced without exception that the people’s reactions towards the various crystal pictures are the same.

A Common Scale for Humankind?

I think that the present situation of warfare in the world and the absence of a successful solution signify that at this moment, there is no common scale that people all share. Having said that, don't water, a common value that everyone needs, and its crystal pattern indicate an ideal design for peace that people have been hoping for?

Therefore, the responsibility that I hold as an investigator of this technique and the spreader of this idea is quite crucial especially now because people build anticipation and hope for our work. I began to feel that I, as a single human being, can no longer embrace and develop this in my sphere of thinking.

When I thought of this, the feeling that I need to create a second research institute else where started to grow in me. I mean somewhere outside of Japan. I did not want people to think that our work bore its fruit because of the Japanese unique history and culture.

Why Liechtenstein?

The countries which first invited me to give lectures were the European countries that all spoke German: Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The series started in March 2000, and with the publication of books in German, such as "Messages from Water", after four years the understanding and the support of the citizens of these particular countries remain to be strong compared to other countries even till this day. Therefore, when I pondered on the location of the research institute, it was natural to assume that it would be in one of these countries.

This time, we set up a research institute called HADO LIFE EUROPE in a small country that is situated in the middle of Europe, Liechtenstein for reasons mentioned above, and because we were able to secure a talented professional researcher who has a good command of German and English. His name is Rasmus Gaupp who worked on the study of water in University of Denmark and University of Vienna, and graduated last year. He is turning twenty-nine, and has a deep fascination for water. His father, Mr. Gaupp understood our work very well and supported us when "Messages from Water" first appeared in Europe.

He was a music teacher in Liechtenstein near the Austrian border, and hosted some of the seminars that took place in Austria. Rasmus also helped out with him, so I knew him for over four years. Therefore, when he told me that he wanted to take pictures of the water crystals, and become our disciple, I replied with a big yes.

Later on, he came to Japan twice to do some training. With his honest and cheerful character, he got along well with the staffs in Tokyo in no time, got used to the surroundings, and learned a great deal about the frozen water crystal photography in a short period of time. Also, he gave us some advice from the standpoint of a scientist, and suggested ways to improve the laboratory equipment. In a short while, he truly became part of our staff members.

We decided on Liechtenstein as the place for our research institute because the Gaupp family has close relationship with the royal family of Liechtenstein, so we had recommendations from them. When we actually visited the place and saw the location of the research institute, we stood there speechless as we found ourselves in the middle of a beautiful environment, which is found in the Pre Alps region. I appreciate them for kindly introducing a perfect location for taking pictures of the crystals.

Thoughts on the Future of the Research Institute

The business started officially in the mid- April. We have planned to perform several things.

1. Taking pictures of water crystals from the natural water
2. Playing music to water
3. Showing letters, pictures, colors, and symbols
4. Tests for developing hado (vibration) products
5. Research on solutions for electromagnetic wave pollution
6. Investigating correlation between results from standard testing of water quality and the pictures of the crystals
7. Designing a program for educating and training crystal photography researchers

After gaining more staff and expanding the facilities

1. Taking pictures of crystals in food products
2. Research on homeopathy and other alternative therapy
3. Taking pictures of crystals in building materials
4. Taking pictures of crystals in clothing
5. Research on microorganism
6. Taking pictures of crystals in chemical products
7. Research on crystals found in other products and matters containing water
8. Research on applying our study to fields of quantum mechanics, biology, chemistry, medical science, astronomy, oceanography, geology and archeology

I believe that there is nothing on this earth that exists without water. Hence, is it not possible to reveal the content of energy or in other words, the information of the substances, by studying the water which the matters contain? The research institute that is found in Liechtenstein only holds one researcher at the moment, so it is still small, but I am convinced that this is a laboratory that has a great potential in the future. This success also depends upon the support and the assistance of those who have hope and faith in our work. I would like to take this chance to wish and ask for everybody's full understanding, support, and participation in this new project.

Having successfully completed the seminar tour over 24 days across the US, my wife and I took only a day off on the 9th yesterday to look round New York.

A Country Hick in New York

First we went to see the Broadway Musical that my wife had been anxious for. They were showing a famous revival of the "42nd Street". The lead actress was Shirley Jones whom I used to see in the movies (such as Elmer Gantry and Oklahoma!) when I was still a young man. We were also lucky with our seats, in the third row from the front; the best position to enjoy a powerful musical that gives us an impact just like we feel from looking at a picture of a musical. We saw it right in front of us and we were so content. It was short two hours and a half.

In Front of the Sign of the "42nd Street"

After the movie, we went to the Empire State Building as my wife who loves height had hoped to visit. As we were lifted for about 60 seconds by elevator, we were in the world above the clouds and looking down below we could see the skyscrapers. Remembering a scene of a movie, "An Affair to Remember" that we watched like crazy (a wonderful love story with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr: a scene that they promise to meet each other again in one year on the top of the Empire State Building, but Deborah Kerr has a car accident right before the building and cannot come), we looked down to see New York City in the gathering dusk.

From the Top of Empire State Building

Then we saw on a guide map the spot that indicates where the World Trade Center used to be. Its dignified appearance could be remembered even on the map for us to miss the big beautiful building. We remembered the image shown on the TV screen of the event and we were overcome by strange feelings of reality that it was not just a dream. We prayed for the spirits of thousands of victims in the event and thought that the seminars that had been held till yesterday could have given some consolation to them.

Then we looked a little to the right and came into our sights the UN building. I pledged myself to give a lecture in that building next time when I come to New York. Till then good-bye New York !!

I presented the seminar according to the revised seminar menu that I especially planned for this day. The content is as follows.

First of all, I came up to the stage, raised my hand, looked at the hall and whispered, "There are so many people here. The people in Japan will not believe me, so I'll take pictures to show them". I took out a camera and took two shots of the audience from the stage with flashes. This is what I do every time I go to a new place, but because Japanese people are known for their fondness for photos worldwide, this always makes the audience amused. As I expected, an explosion of laughter occurred. With this, the distance between me and the viewers disappears.

1. "Messages from Water" The process of publication, the status quo -- At the moment, it is published in 17 languages; with other books included, they have sold over 1 million copies on a global scale, just like Harry Potter (Big laughter from the audience). I continued, "This book was refused from the major publishing companies, and only a small publishing company called I.H.M. accepted to publish this book. The CEO of this company is with us today, so let me introduce her" and I introduced a woman who was operating the computer. There is a big applause from the audience. When that was over, I added "I forgot to mention that she also has been my wife for 36 years." Now, the people got excited and gave my wife, with an explosion of laughter, an enormous applause. With that I grabbed the audience's full attention.
2. Why did it become so popular?
3. There was a change to the atmosphere as I discussed serious problems that the world faces in a solemn manner. The audience gets quiet.
4. In order to solve this, we have to know what energy is. What is energy? It is vibration.
5. Population crisis and energy.
6. The water crystal is a designed visual form of energy (vibration).
7. Showing of the video of "Messages from Water" -- The process of taking pictures, playing music to water, and prayer with water (about 15 minutes). Everybody puts their full attention to the video. This video is convincing. Especially the scene where the crystal grows with Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is overwhelming.
8. The world's tap water -- I emphasized how the concept of sterilization is damaging.
9. The world's natural water -- I discussed about the cycle of the water's circulation and explained how the rain that fell 30 or 40 years ago turns into the ground water, and how it is worrying.
10. The mysterious power of water -- No one has explained it yet. Let's know more about water. That leads to knowing who you are.
11. Relaxing time -- We all sing Amazing Grace in a choir. American people love and sing this song very well.
12. Showing pictures of -- dolphin, Great Camphor, elephant, Izumo shrine, Niagara Falls, Sedona, American flag, and the American flag if the stars were hexagonal.
13. Showing words of -- Thank you, You fool, Do it, Let's Do it, Mother, The Love of Husband and Wife, Mother's Cooking, Instant food.
14. Introducing "Messages from Water VOL 3". I said I wrote this book with a purpose in my mind to find out how we can attain peace. With this came a big applause.
15. Showing words of -- war, peace.
16. Playing music of -- Imagine.
17. Presenting Ms. Yoko Ono's home page -- We are all water.
18. Showing words of -- Namu-myouhou-renge-kyou (Buddhist chant), Namu-ami-da-butu (Buddhist chant), Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam.
19. Power of words -- The Love of self, Family love, Neighborly love, Patriotism, Love for humanity, Reverence, Emotion, Hope, Despair, Blasphemy, Blasphemy (English), Human cloning, Truth, Eternity.
20. Power of Prayer -- Before and after the prayer at Fujiwara Dam, why was it taken?
21. How energy is different depending on the shape of the prayer --Praying with holding hands, Praying with closed palms.
22. Explaining Dr. Sheldlake's Theory -- I explained that this phenomenon is occurring now.
23. The most beautiful crystal -- Love / Thanks.
24. Why is that?
25. Another meaning of Love/Thanks -- immunity.
26. Let's give our feeling of Love/Thanks to the earth.
27. How can we do it?
28. Using Einstein's equation on energy.
29. 80 % of the microorganism is harmless to people -- Explaining what I learned from Dr.. Teruo Higa.
30. "Thank you" is stronger than "You fool".
31. How did the miracle of Apollo 13 occur? -- At that moment, people for the first time prayed as one regardless of their origin and religion.
32. Showing five major religions at once.
33. What appears at the 6th point of the crystal -- It is yourself.
34. Let's pray with everybody for world peace.
35. How can we do that?
36. Love, thank, and respect yourself.
37. Love, thank, and respect the world's water.

Of course, it was through an interpreter, but I talked passionately for 90 minutes on these topics. I never talked with such enthusiasm as this time. I believe that the feeling that I wanted to heal as much people as possible who suffered 9.11, made me so. When I finished talking, bowed, and raised my head, there were many of my good comrades who continuously gave me a round of applause.

Standing ovation, a moving experience to me

As I glanced, my wife who was operating the computer also rose and applauded me. I found something shining on her cheeks. When I saw that, there was something from my eyes that started to flow and I was dazed.

Even after the seminar, the excitement still did not cease for many, so they remained and talked passionately to each other. People were crowding towards me to take picture, get autographs, and shake hands. I was impressed by how people looked very happy.

*****

After this U.S.A. tour, I felt a strong response for peace. I was determined that "Yes, this is all good". I will keep my confidence and walk around countries of the world where they want me. I will accept people’s heart across the globe and pass on this collective feeling to water. This will lead to form pictures of the crystals as a blue print in order to create a truly enjoyable, happy world of reality.

Signing autographs has never been a pain, but a fun for me, since I enjoy talking to people face to face and shaking hands while I do the autographs. From these little conversations that I have, I can truly understand what people felt about our seminar. What I most commonly heard was "Thank you for doing a great job (in giving us the realization)". Also, people told me "Thank you for giving us hope". Both are very nice words that make me happy.

In the meantime, the presenter came and told me that he wanted to start the seminar. When I glanced at the clock, it was already 6:10 pm. I hurriedly came out of the crowd, and looked around the hall with amazement. The first floor was all filled and there were people of the second floor as well. In my mind, I cried "Yes!" and gave a big high five to myself as I moved towards the front. There were many people who filled the gap between the stage and the seats. My wife was there and told me, "We got a gorgeous bouquet from Ms. Yoko Ono, so let's take a picture with it". I said "O.K." and at the moment I started walking towards the stage where the bouquet was, I tripped on something and fell on the floor.

My glasses few away, and I hit my forehead hard on the carpet. There were so many people that I couldn't recognize a little step near me. I completely fell down shouting "Ah! Auch!!", but only a few people near me recognized what has happened. It was that crowded. I sat on a chair for a while as my wife patted my head, and fortunately, I only got a bruised forehead and the pain soon eased away. Since I was young, my head was tough (because I played rugby when I was a student and fell down with tackles many times). The photograph below is a picture that I took right after the fall. But , I trip a lot nowadays. It seems that my lower body is getting a little weak (though it is better to trip here than at work or in private).

(Right after the fall)

Now, today is the last day in this series of seminars and the New York seminar is the main event of all. At 11:00 am, we left the hotel in Sparta, New Jersey where we had lectures the day before and we headed to Manhattan, New York with Ms. Naoko Campbell's car (who organized the lectures in Albany, Sparta, and New York).
