* Tuesday, Sep 28-29, 2004 At Liechtenstein

After the Frankfurt seminar, my wife returned to Japan a little earlier than the rest of us. Mr. Otake and I stopped by at Liechtenstein where Hado Life Europe is located. I am supposed to meet two guests at the location. On 28th, a famous German singer, Nena’s manager is coming. And on the 29th, Ms. Brigitta Mathes of the Aquabella project that I mentioned in August 3rd diary will be coming to meet me.

Now that I have a research center in a central location of Europe, I have the opportunity to meet a lot of people. However, the amount of work is piling up and we do not have nearly enough people to take care of it all. A big point is to find the right, effective people to work for us.

However, we came across a very helpful person. A German cultural studies professor at TokyoUniversity that we have known for a while introduced us a woman called Yukiko Hirakita Jordan. She is married to a German man and is living in the northern Germany with her three children. She had accepted the job at our Hado Life Europe office.

Things used to be in a mess when Rasmus was the only one at the office but now, with a secretary that can speak German, the place is starting to look more like a real company. With that, Mr. Otake has become the vice president of the company and will be traveling to Liechtenstein for half the month from now on. I am hoping that I can introduce his hardworking self in this section from next month.

We also had interviews for photo shooting staff. We settled for a nice looking young man who drove all the way from Slovakia for the interview. Mr. Sato will come from Japan to train him in the technology soon. So the company expanded from one person to five people office. The place is looking more like a real company now. Looking like a great start.

The talks with Ms. Nena’s manager and with Ms. Brigitta went smoothly as well. We made an appointment to meet again in late October. I would like to share what we talked about at that time.


Ms. Brigitta (on the left) came from
Vienna with five of her friends and a dog.
She took me out to dinner.


The biggest event in Germany this time was the joint seminar with EM’s Dr. Higa. We were discussing how great it will be to have Dr. Higa with us at the last European seminar tour. I acted upon our great idea and asked talked to Dr. Higa about it. To somewhat of my surprise, he agreed with the idea without any hesitation. Since a EM international meeting was planned in Holland in September, he suggested that we will have our seminar afterward. Thus, my dream of having a joint seminar was planned for the 25th in Berlin and 26th in Frankfurt.

I got to know Dr. Higa through a book, “Discovery of True Things” by Dr. Yukio Funai where Dr. Higa and I were both introduced. That was over ten years ago. Since then, we had joint seminar at Uozu-shi, Toyama organized by an EM organization, I introduced him at my Hado magazine, and I was invited as an instructor at his wife, Setsuko’s EM Women’s Meeting. We did not spend the most amount of time together but I knew there was a strong connection that held us together. Maybe we feel like we have something in common because we were both the first ones for Dr. Funai to admit as “True Things”.

Through the two seminars this time, I learned that the EM technology had become a huge influence in Japan and the rest of the world. It can be said as an revolutionary technology that may save the earth. For example, Dr. Higa has already been to North Korea numerous times to assist on the EM technology there. And for that, the starvation problem because of bad rice crop yield had been alleviated. That reminds me of a small news clip about how North Korea had asked for aid in economic development rather than food aid from the United Nation.

I can’t help but to think that EM’s crop revolution had something to do with the international relation with North Korea and Japan moving positively towards better and more civilized relation.

I always feel that we should be more proud about the great technology that Japan bore and as a country, should give more recognition. I feel this way especially when seeing the great success it brought to countries like Costa Rica or Cuba, a country whose main economic backbone is crop growing. Or when I see how EM technology is taken in by different Japanese community to advance the garbage disposal or water purification.

However, our country is not giving the recognition that it deserves and the media is not focusing on it either. Why won’t Japan just accept what is good as good? Our country still has that negativity that comes with being the island country somehow. Both my own technology and Dr. Higa’s technology is a lot more recognized overseas than in Japan. This country probably still has the mentality of trying to bury what is new and revolutionary.

As for the seminar, the one at Berlin and Frankfurt both ended very successfully. In Berlin, one of the most famous German singers, Nena came as one of the audience. Also, a famous actress, Michael was our introducer at the seminar.

A great ending at the Frankfurt seminar

Dr. Higa gave a great speech and added in the end that things will get increasingly better when EM and Hado and work together. I fully agreed with his thought. We agreed that we will keep on cooperating and as a start, will do a research on how an EMX with a sticker of love and gratitude crystal will react.


With Dr. and Mrs. Higa

The two people that Dr. Yukio Funai declared as “True Things” came together twelve years later to promise to cooperate in saving the humanity and earth.


* Friday, Sep 24, 2004 Visiting Potsdam

We got in to Berlin after a three hour drive from Chemnitz in the afternoon of the 23rd. Today is an off day for me since the big seminar with Dr. Higa is tomorrow. Mr. Pinnow, the coordinator of the Berlin Seminar took us to Potsdam.

We went to the bridge where war captives from the west and east were traded during the Cold War era. The trade was done by each guard on either side taking a single captive to the middle of the bridge and swapping there just about thirty years ago. However, the place now looks like a peace park with lots of nature and water.


With Mr. Pinnow

We then went to the Potsdam Pallece and saw the meeting room that Churchill, Stalin, and Truman had meetings in. Mr. Pinnow explained about how the US and USSR at the time tested each other out at the same place. For a person that has studied International Relations in college, it was a very interesting experience.

Later, we went to Friedrich II’s SanssouciCastle. Friedrich II is a hero to the Germans and represents the German identity. Mr. Pinnow convincingly explained that he loved music and was especially good at the flute. He also was a great philosopher and respected Voltaire very much. One interesting thing was that he was a person that was very punctual and stict with time. Sounds a little like the samurais of early Japan. And the last thing that Mr. Pinnow said, “such an wonderful German spirit has been long gone, now that it has been 60 years after the war.” I felt some similarities in what he felt Germany has become and what I felt Japan has become. Good luck Japan, good luck Germany!

I felt the importance of visiting historical sights. Hope I can do this again!


* Thursday, Sep 23, 2004 Reaction to the United Nation Seminar

I received a pleasant e-mail from Ms. Koinuma who came to the New York seminar all the way from San Francisco. There also are some messages from people regarding the UN seminar that I would like to share.

Here it is.

**********

An E-mail from Ms. Ikuyo Koinuma

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Emoto,

I cannot believe that it has already been over a week since I was at your wonderful seminar at the UN and shared some unforgettable time watching a musical.

The tight security at the UN was some surprise, wasn’t it?

Back in 1993, Dr. Dolores and I were able to enter the Dag Hammarskjold memorial meditation room easily without any security hassle.

This time, I was lucky enough to have Susana, your seminar’s coordinator take me to the meditation room on the side. I was honored and moved when you, your wife, your staff, Mr. Otake, Mr. Tokimatsu, Susana’s assistant Ms. Yasuko and I all held hands and gave thanks and love to the humanity, and to water in hopes for the world peace.

Since I have visited the Incas before, it was interesting to see the seminar begin with a water ceremony by Peru’s shaman, Sunshine Eagle. It was also interesting that the stage was surrounded by bottles of spring water.

This was the fifth time for me to have the opportunity to hear you talk. I am always impressed by the amount of new discoveries that I learn from your seminar. They are always interesting with different slides every time.

I think we were all surprised by the interruption of the security guards into the auditorium as they started to clear out all the people that did not have seats or tickets. I’m sure you were as surprised as us.

I heard later that many of the UN staff heard about your seminar and stopped by. The auditorium only had the capacity for about 180 people so there were over 50 people on top of that.

I was sorry for the people that did not get to hear your talk but I was helping out with the selling of the books so I hope they were satisfied to at least take a book home with them.

I loved your Do-Re-Me song. Even though there was a little interruption in the middle, it was great to see everyone in the audience join in and even have a piano, it was the moment when everybody unified and became as one.

I was overwhelmed with happiness to think that I am spreading the Hado of love and thanks from this UN building through the Do-Re-Me song with the ambassadors of different countries. You ended the day with another standing ovation! I am certain that the positive Hado had reached every niche of the world. I am so happy to have shared that moment with everyone.

On a side note, it had been thirty years since I saw Ms. Kazuko Tatsumura, your translator. I had not seen her since the time I used to like in NY but I was happy to see her doing well and full of energy.

I also was happy to meet Mr. Hazaka again. We got to know each other while he was visiting San Francisco for the April seminar. I was impressed and surprised at the same time that he has become the director of the president’s office. I am looking forward to hearing how well he is doing.

On top of that, I was able to meet Mr. Tenkawa who used to be an UN staff and had some great influence in the Japanese society. Dr. Katsumi Niikura of Chi-healer that I have not seen for few months was there too.

Dr. Niikura was Karate’s world champion once. He now lives in Michigan and has dojyo for Karate and Aikido. He also uses his Chi for the healings of cancer patients. He used to have a Chi workshop at San Francisco one weekend per month from 1997 to 2003 and I was an assistant for him there for six years. I have experienced cancers disappear, polio children walk, saw people pass away, and many more dramas with him.

Dr. Niikura would take a bottle of water and write the patient’s name and the illness on it and put in Hado of the healing Chi in and pass that to the patient to drink. I think it was in 2002 that he finally got to go to your office, although you were not present then. However, he took crystal pictures of water with Healing Chi and a Chi of cancer recovery. They are the pictures that I showed you before. He was pleasantly surprised to get such a beautiful crystal. It became a concrete proof of what Chi is that he is showing them to his patients.

Dr. Niikura was also invited by Susana and had a Chi workshop at the same place last March. He was invited to your seminar this time and flew in from Michigan. I wanted to introduce him to you but you were too busy with accommodating requests for autograph that night that I did not have a chance. I did introduce him to your wife though.

There were a handful of healers that bought the book that asked for pictures of crystals of healing water. I hope you don’t mind that I referred them to Dr. Niikura’s picture.

I had the chance to go visit the Ground Zero of the 911 incident for the first time with your wife Kazuko, and Mr. Tokimatsu. I was able to give prayer of love and thanks to all the brave souls that were sacrificed for the humanity and taught us a lot.

I promised myself that I will not forget the sacrifices and lessons that the victims have shown us. We should all strive to heal the world in unity by healing ourselves and opening up to love. We have to learn to look into ourselves and accept the sufferings that we may need to endure.

One of the victims was a close from of my daughter’s from college. My daughter used to stay with her every time she went to visit NYC.

I learned that there are definite connections between people, between nature, and between the universe through your seminar and through the pictures of the crystals. The good balance in Hado is very important to the healing of humanity and the earth. I just want to express my greatest thanks for letting me realize that.

I hope that many people will learn to get to know themselves better to love and give thanks to who they are, just like the woman in the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? by encountering your crystal pictures. I bet that will lead into a great healing revolution of life and the whole planet.

I am certain that you are filling people’s hearts with love and gratitude at seminars in Germany as well. For the peace of the world and humanity…

I am sorry that this became long.

With eternal love and thanks,
Ikuyo Koinuma

An E-mail from Nancy to Ms. Yasuko Campbell

Dear Yasuko,

What a beautiful evening. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Dr. Emoto was absolutely wonderful - we all loved him.
What a treasure!!!

Love and hugs
Nancy

**********

An E-mail from Ms. Yasuko Campbell who kindly organized the NY lecture.

Dear Dr. Emoto and Mrs. Emoto.

I am afraid that you might have been exhausted because of your long trip. Thank you for your wonderful lecture in NY. I got an e-mail from Amanda, an assistant to Yoko Ono, the following e-mail.

I was afraid that the security persons might have been rude to her. Yet, she was actually very much delighted, so I got relieved so much.

By the way, September 17 was the memorial day when Mr. Dag Hammarskjold passed away. Mr. Hammarskjold was the second Secretary-General of the UN and passed away on September 17, 1961. I am quite sure of it, as I asked the UN.

Don’t you think this is also a synchronicity?

Yasuko Campbell

**********

An E-mail from Yoko Ono’s assistant Amanda to Ms. Yasuko Campbell

Dear Yasuko,

Thank you very much for having me as a guest to the Dr. Emoto lecture event. I was surprised by the "security issue" but it was because there were too many people wanting to see the lecture- which is not a bad thing!

I stayed for the first hour of Dr. Emoto's lecture and then had to leave due to another engagement. I really enjoyed the lecture- I found the subjects he addressed to be fascinating and he has such spirit and made it a really enjoyable experience! I would have been honored to meet him- perhaps next time. It was a pleasure to meet you (briefly) as well.

Thank you again and I will be sure to share all of this with Yoko-san.

Kind Regards,

Amanda Keeley

PS- I am going to see the film, "What the ???!! Do We know" this weekend!

**********

An E-mail from Ms. Yasuko Campbell to Yoko Ono’s assistant Amanda

Dear Amanda,

I was so glad I could meet you at the gate.I am sorry that I did not see you again afterwards.

I am only hoping that you had a seat before the security people came in only to make a big scene. I hope they weren't rude to you.

In spite of the embarrassing situation, the energy there afterwards were very very good.Many people thanked us for doing the event. I want to thank Ms. Ono for the beautiful flowers on behalf of Dr. Emoto.It was presented to Dr. Emoto during the event and he put it on the piano.(In case you were not there to see it.)

If you stayed long enough to see Dr. Emoto's presentation, it is my sincere hope that you enjoyed it.

Sincerely,
Yasuko Campbell

An E-mail from Ms. Sue Pelechaty to Ms. Yasuko Campbell

Wishing you many blessings,

Sue Pelechaty

* Wednesday, Sep 22, 2004 Chemnitz Seminar

Chemnitz is in the area of former East Germany. This is my second time to have a seminar at former East Germany area. I was at Dresden about three years ago. I felt something was different right when I stepped into Dresden that time. The town looked slightly different and the infrastructures did not seem as fully developed. I thought the east was still a little less wealthy than the west.

However, Chemnitz did not feel as odd. The eastern side must have caught up to the west in economical sense since three years ago. Or maybe Chemnitz was an exception. But one thing that was different was the price of the ticket for the seminar. The ticket cost 15 Euro in this city where the cities in the west side charged 20 to 25 Euros.

Even then, the theater in the middle of town that the seminar was held was packed with its 600 people capacity. I was happy to know that the Message from Water is spreading throughout the former East Germany as well. One obvious difference between this seminar and the one I conducted in Dresden was that there were many people that bought the book. In Dresden, I remember signing the tickets and pamphlets because people were not able to buy the book.

The coordinator for this seminar was a Mr. Heinz, who runs a consulting agency. He said he wanted to invite me to his town even if there is no profit to be made. He kindly paid more than enough to me and thinking about other expenses, he certainly did not make any profit. He told us that he saw my seminar at Vienna and was very impressed. He told himself that he will invite me to his home town someday.


With Mr. and Mrs. Heinz

I spoke in English at this seminar and Rasmus translated that into German. It was his first time for such an assignment but he did a great job. He heard me talk numerous times and he was used to my not-so-good English.

After the seminar, Heinz invited me to a seminar at Leipzig and Dresden next spring. Of course, I gladly accepted the invitation right away. I guess I will have more opportunities to go visit what was known as the Second World with my visiting Poland and Romania next month, as well as a plan for the talk at Russia and China.


Many people bought the book.


* Tuesday, Sep 21, 2004 Nurnberg Seminar

Nurnberg is a city located just about in the center of Germany. It is famous for the Nurnberg Tribunal that had taken Nazi war criminals to court. It also is known for toys. The city is decorated beautifully during Christmas and has even attracted my daughter in Holland to come see it few years back.

However, we did not have time at all to see the city this time. It’s really too bad, we are at this beautiful historic city and all I do is give a single seminar. I hope the coordinators can schedule it a little better.

The translator for today and tomorrow is Ms. Backer (maiden name). She had translated for me at few earlier seminars as well and also was the translator for the German version of “Hidden Messages in Water”. She was on a maternity leave for the last couple of days. This was her very first assignment after the leave so she was very in to it.

She used to be an assistant researcher at University of Kyushu and studied the cultural climate of Japan while she taught German. Her students then had given her a nickname using her name, Backer(foolish in Japanese)so she said with a smile that she was happy that her name changed now that she got married.

Of course the seminar went really well with her by my side. The audience of about 400 was all very satisfied with the way it turned out. It took me over an hour to sign for all the books the people bought.

Wind-power generation towers we saw.
For some reason, my wife really likes them.
She took many pictures of them.
Why does Germany have so many??


* Monday, Sep 20, 2004 Regensburg Seminar

After the big event at the UN, we spent the Saturday walking about the Broadway in search of a musical. We settled for Chicago in the end. After that, my wife, Otake, and I left our friends and took the night plane to Munich. At the Munich airport, Manuela, the coordinator for Regensburg and Nurnberg seminar came to pick us up.

The 19th was a long waited rest day. I had a good recharging rest day for the upcoming Germany seminar tour as we took walk s around the DanubeRiver and other parts of the beautiful city. I always get struck by the beauty and the cuteness of the local cities in this country.

Mr. Konrad (president of Koha Verlag) came all the way from Munich with a newly published book. It was a book cowritten by Flege of the Flege Show and myself, published just in time to be able to be sold a the seminar. It’s pretty well done, a A4 sized hardcover book.

Rasmus, who was back in Denmark to visit his wife’s home town came to meet us in the evening. I’m having a good feeling about the upcoming seminars!

The seminar was held from eight pm at an auditorium in a university. The place had the capacity to seat about 500 people and that place was almost all full. Manuel had helped organize a similar seminar three years ago at a different town and commented on how my seminar is getting better. She told me that the content has become more dense, yet easier to understand and more entertaining. This is a good start.

* Friday, Sep 17, 2004 (2) New York United Nation Seminar

Here are messages from the supporters of Dr. Emoto that went to New York with him. The first one is from Mr. Tokimatsu.

Hello everyone,

This is Yosuke Tokimatsu from the Hado Frontier Institute of IHM Resonance. I went to New York to see Dr. Emoto’s special seminar at the United Nation.

I heard Dr. Emoto say a while ago (ok, it was pretty long time ago), “My childhood dream is to become the UN’s secretary general!” So when I heard about this opportunity for him to talk at the United Nation, I thought “Incredible, it’s a dream come true!!” I had to go and see his dream come a step toward coming true and congratulate him at New York.

While we were having a drink at the hotel in New York, Dr. Emoto told us about the last time he was in the New York City. He climbed up to the EmpireStateBuilding and promised himself that he will be giving a talk in the UN building the next time he comes to this city. And now, not even a half year later, he will be standing in that UN building to give a talk. Haha!!

How awesome! This is the clear evidence of how “thoughts will materialize”. Dr. Emoto’s work must have some big support form a powerful unseen world!

The seminar went very well too. All the audience seemed to have been attracted to and acknowledged Dr. Emoto’s wills. They were all listening to his talk with laughter, approval, songs, and dances. We were all having a great time.

I earned a lot seeing how Dr. Emoto conducts his seminars all over the world and how he is always met by warm welcome and appreciation.

The hoop of Hado, love and gratitude, and world peace must be growing bigger and bigger each day. Let’s go with Dr. Emoto and with laughter and dance to rise higher in the dimension! “We are rise!”

On a personal note, I was thinking, “if I’m in New York, I want to meet Matsui form the Yankees. Please god, let me meet him!” And to everyone’s surprise, he actually came to meet me!! How incredible! How wonderful!

I was waiting for a person at the hotel lobby when I saw Matsui standing right there. (super surprised!) I came over nervously and asked for a picture and a handshake. He said ok right away. The picture below is the proof!

It happens that Matsui’s parents were staying at the same hotel and he came to pick them up after the day game. He was only there for about five minutes. I was coincidently at the hotel lobby with Mrs. Emoto. What is the chance of meeting Matsui in a three days stay at New York? Must be a miracle!! See, “thoughts will materialize”! It was one of my most exciting experiences in the Big Apple.

That’s it for my unbelievable experience for now. Waiting for any comments.

I’ll be praying for everybody’s happiness. Thanks for reading.
See you!

Yosuke Tokimatsu
President of The Hado Frontier Institute of IHM Resonance

*****

This is a message from Mr. Hamano

To all,
Sorry for the late update from the UN seminar.

I went to support Dr. Emoto from the 16th to 20th. I went not as part of a job but with my own money and will. Some people comment on how rich I am but oh no, I actually borrowed some money to make this trip a reality. Dr. Emoto’s seminar at the UN was a lot more than money could buy for me. I just regret that I left lots of work for the other people in the office because of my two days absence. Thank you for supporting me back at the office!

The first day I got there, Dr. Emoto warmly welcomed me. I have to say that I have never seen such a radiant smile on him throughout the eight years that I have been working at IHM.

We had lunch with the coordinator of the seminar the second day. It also was a gathering of Dr. Emoto’s supporters that came from different parts of the country. I directly felt Dr.’s success and comfort in this part of the world by looking at the other people’s expressions and hearing what their thoughts.

The UN seminar started that evening. We went through a tight security and moved on to parts that were closed off to general guests. I had to admire Dr. Emoto that was walking through the UN hallway with his head high. As we walked through the building, we would run into seminar staffs or Dr. Emoto’s fans along the way. By the time we reached the Dag Hammerskjold Library Auditorium, we all became like a small parade walking after Dr. Emoto. The auditorium seated about 180 people in a domed space.

Besides Dr. Emoto’s talk, there was a music performance with crystal balls, children and adults’ choir and a lot more. For Dr.’s talk, the 180 seats were all filled and there were people sitting on the steps as well. The UN security had to be called in to clear out the people.

The seminar itself was conducted in somewhat a different style then usual. It was more down to earth and energetic, if I may say so. I was happy and a little surprised to see a side of Dr. Emoto that I have not seen in Japan. The time there went by very quickly as the audience fell in laughter and in silence (of concentration and understanding).

At the end of the seminar, Dr. was praised by a standing ovation. I saw him raise his hands in joy at the podium. It was the moment when all the people at the auditorium were united.

Above is what happened at the UN seminar.

The reason why I wanted to be part of the UN seminar regardless of money was because I took this seminar to be one of the major mile stones for what Dr. Emoto and the rest of us had been working on. It had been eight years since I was struck by Dr. Emoto’s vision and joined the IHM team. For all these years I had been working along with many IHM staff, instructors, HCC, LTC and others. We went through a lot but having Dr. Emoto give a talk at the United Nation was not only his own dream but all ours to an extent. Just as Mr. Tokimatsu said, “thoughts will materialize”. It may have taken some time, but it has actually materialized and became true. I wanted to be the representative of all that had been part of this project and see that the dream had come true for myself.

There was a Mel Gibson movie called Sign which talks about how insignificant words or actions in the everyday life, things that we thought was impossible or unlucky, actually was a sign brought on by a certain event in the future. I am very happy to be at the seminar which was only possible through many different events and situations.

Dr. Emoto, thank you. Everyone, we did it! Thank you.

* Friday, Sep 17, 2004 (1) New York United Nation Seminar

The United Nation's seminar at Dag Hammerskjold Library Auditorium started at six pm as planned. The first hour and twenty minutes were spent in performances. There was a dance and a song expressing peace with water theme in it, a musical performance with crystal bowls, children's choir, a violin piece, and a lot more. I enjoyed the stage with peace in my heart.


No More Gun


The lady on the left is Susana,
one of the coordinators from United Nation
Staff Recreation Council Feng Shui Group.


It says: On behalf of the UNSRC Feng Shui Group,
we would like to extend an invitation
to participate at our event entitled
IMAGINE: Water for Peace Concert featuring Dr. Emoto.


Thank you for such an expensive looking flower,
from my staff in Tokyo.

My turn to step up to the podium finally came. The auditorium's 184 seats were all full and there were many people that were sitting on the staircases on the sides as well. I seemed like there were many people that were not part of the United Nation staff. Just when I was about to start, I was stopped by four security guards that entered the room.

The guards went through the people sitting on the stairs and send off all the people that did not have tickets with them. The auditorium was in a bit of turmoil but I guess we can't let people block off exit spaces. This happens in parts of Japan that has strict fire hazard codes anyways.

I was a little taken off balanced from the start but it didn't take much time to get back track on my mood. I had a clear layout of what I will be presenting so I had no problems running the show.

This is the outline of the talk that day:

  1. Introduction of "Messages from Water" and its spread into the world.
  2. Introduction of the trailer of the film "What The Bleep Do We Know!?"
  3. Discussion on the reason of this boom.
  4. How to take water crystal photographs (video)
  5. Four principles on vibration (using tuning forks)
  6. Lecture tour abroad for the last 4 years.
  7. Water crystal photographs that created a sensation.
  8. Play music to water (video)
  9. Show photographs to water
  10. Show words to water
  11. How important it is to love yourself from "Messages from Water Vol. 3" - How inhuman suicide bombing is.
  12. On religions (challenge to taboo) - teachings from water.
  13. Effects of prayer on water
  14. Experiment at LakeBiwa and LakeFujiwara
  15. Experiment on prayer by children (video)
  16. Meaning of Love and Thanks.
  17. Let's send our Love and Thanks to the Earth.
  18. Reports on the Ceremonies in Israel and Liechtenstein.
  19. Explanation of the word "Blasphemy" in Japanese - water should be given equally to humanity.
  20. Explanation on an international NPO "The International Water for Life Foundation" and Request of cooperation.

It wasn't easy to fit all these themes into the hour and a half talk, especially because the whole security hassle took away about ten minutes of my time. However, the translator did a fantastic job. Her name is Kazuko and is the sister of the director, Hitoshi Tatsumura. She helped me enjoy the whole experience. In the end, I noticed somebody standing up and gradually spread to the whole audience and became a standing ovation. I was very happy and triumphant to receive such a warm appreciation.


The moving standing ovation

As a result, I don't know if any ambassadors from any countries or the United Nation staff came to the seminar. I assume that the seminar was more for the public that happened to be held at an UN auditorium.

However, the fact that it was held within the UN building was the important part. It is in the middle of holding a General Meeting and there will be many important politicians from different countries arriving. Our Prime Minister Koizumi is also supposed to come in four days to give a speech about being considered for a membership into the security council.

I have been worried that the original purpose of the United Nation as a place for discussing and spreading peace is not working as properly. But I am certain that I left a positive, peace seeking Hado behind in this important location. I hope that I can earn the answer in some way, some time.

Mr. Tokimatsu and Hamano wrote up a little essay for us so please enjoy it in the next entry. I especially like the part where Mr. Tokimatsu ran into Matsui from NY Yankees.


* Thursday, Sep 16, 2004 At the UN Building

I flew from Chicago to New York last night (on the 15th), a total of two and a half hours. While I was checking in to the Kitano hotel, Yosuke Tokimatsu of IHM Renaissance arrived from Tokyo. He used to be an employee at IHM but with my advice, he set up an independent company about two years ago. He is working at Setagaya with Hado consulting. He is a decent man (but at 36, he is still single, that is beyond my comprehension!). He heard that I will be giving a talk at the United Nation and wanted to directly be there for my support. With Yosuke, we became a group of four (with my wife and IHM Trading's Mr. Otake who came together from Chicago seminar).

And today, there are seven new members to my team. A week earlier, one of the directors of IHM, Mr. Hazaka decided that he wanted to come as well. He took Mr. Hamano from the office and came all the way to New York. Of course, they paid their own way there. The coordinator of April's San Francisco seminar, Ms. Koinuma came also. On top of that, the translator for April's LA seminar, Ms. Natsuko Sakai, and May's Minessota seminar's Terry, Dianne, and Ruth came as well. There were eleven of us in total. What a strong support and back up!

Today was a day before the seminar so we went over to the United Nation building for check up with the UN staff. We couldn't resist but be tourists and start taking pictures.

It was a great hassle for us to actually enter the UN building. There were way too many paper work and checkup before entering the building. It took us the total of 30 minutes for us to all get cleared. The security was especially tight because of the general meeting that had just started. The security process is not even told to the staff and is changed almost every day.

The Dag Hammarskjold Hall where I will be giving the talk was not as big as I expected. It seats about 180 people. I imagined having all those seats occupied as I give out my talk.


* Tuesday, Sep 14, 2004 Chicago Seminar

I actually did the seminar in English in front of 820 people at Santa Fe seminar. There was an assistant by my side but I was impressed by my own ability to do the seminar in English. This was the third consecutive standing ovation.


Standing ovation in the dark theater.

This was my first time in Chicago. I have passed this city for stopover a few times but I never actually stepped in to the city. The coordinator in Chicago was Mr. Howard, an owner of a bookstore specializing in spiritual publication. He and his Buddhist wife had been running the bookstore for about 15 years now and have been inviting many distinguished authors for talks. He had even invited Caroline Myss (author of Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing) the other day.


With Mr. Howard

The Chicago seminar was held at a theater that can hold up to 2000 people. But this theater was built in the 1920, in the time of Alcapone. It was closed for a while after the World War II and was a hub for the homeless people until recently. The theater was dark and I would not have been surprised to see a ghost or two there. At the seminar, there were only about 250 people there, but because of how dark the place was, I didn't feel too out of place.

The translator for that day's event was Ms. Hiroko Abe, a woman that used to DJ for FM Matsuyama. She entered the graduate school of University of Michigan two and a half years ago and now is a free journalist. She was a journalist for Chicago White Sox's Takatsu as well. She was a lady with strong determination and enthusiasm. We worked out great together and ended the seminar with another standing ovation.

My very first experience with Chicago was unexpectedly good. I thought there will be a dark image of a city of gangs but the place was full of nature and was by the Michigan lake, a site for the opening scene of Power of Ten.

"Too bad the movie didn't come out earlier. I could have taken in a lot more people then. Please come next April as well, I'll fill the theater up the next time." Mr. Howard said. I seriously was worried that the balcony of the theater will fall off if he had actually rounded up that many people.


* Sunday, Sep 12, 2004 Santa Fe Seminar

Today is a photo diary. The seminar hall that accommodates 820 people was packed with 200 more people lined up for cancellation outside. That movie has a huge influence!

* Saturday, Sep 11, 2004 Seminar Eve festival at Santa Fe

I was finally able to visit Santa Fe with the invitation of a local NPO called Rainmaking. I was looking forward to visit this place since I have been thinking about visiting there for nearly ten years now. The Santa Fe Central Institute was built about twenty years ago and is the inspiration of my plan of hexagonal research center.

Santa Fe is the capital city of NewMexico and is located 2000 meters above sea level. The city does not have a lot of skyscrapers and is always struggling with water shortage since it is a city in the middle of a desert. There are significant amount of native Americans living there, as well as people who have interest in spiritual issues.

My seminar was on the 12th but there was a panel discussion planned on the 11th in memory of 911 even three years ago. I was one of the three main speakers at the panel discussion. I talked about how I became a water peace promoter since the awful even of 911. As a result, one of the things that I did was to set up a Water for Life Foundation.


With members of the panel

I met many unexpected people that night. First, I met a Sedona Hopi elder, Mr. Vernon and his wife. Then I met Jimmy and Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, they were at Liechtenstein's event that was held on July 25th. But the most unexpected person to see was Rebecca.

Rebecca had invited my family to her dolphin school (at a tiny island in the Bahamas) about four years ago. We spent about a week there and were able to swim with the dolphins for the very first time in the Caribbean. However, we heard that she had become terribly ill two years later and did not know if she can recover from it.

So you can imagine how surprised I was when she came up to me and said, "Do you remember me?" "Rebecca?" of course I remembered her. I called over to my wife without hesitation, "come look, Rebecca came all the way to see us!!" They hugged each other and shared their joy. How exciting it is to reencounter someone that we thought we will never see again. Good things happen when we live long.


* Friday, Sep 10, 2004 Los Angeles Seminar

The coordinator of the Los Angeles seminar was a major bookstore that specializes in spiritual/new age publishing called Body Tree. The seminar was held at "MOA Mokichi Okada Memorial Hall"located right next to the bookstore. There must be a strong connection between the bookstore and MOA because my translator, Ron Kato, was also a MOA employee.

Mr. Kato was a great translator. I realized that we would get along very well at the local TV interview two hour prior to the seminar. He was translating for me at the interview as well. I felt so comfortable to have him that I was able to conduct my two hours seminar without any intimidation to be in front of foreigners.

There is always the problem of translators at seminars oversea. There are places where there are no professional translators. Sometimes, a person is chosen just because that person is Japanese. There are times when I think that it would have been much better if I spoke English myself, rather than have a translator. However, Mr. Kato was a superb translator. He had been interested in Hado for a while and has read almost all my books before. On top of that, he is a second generation Japanese. It is difficult to encounter a person so fit to help me with the seminar.

There definitely was an effect of the movie in Los Angeles as well. Most of the 250 people in the audience got to know about me through the movie. The coordinators were saying that they should have found a bigger hall since the ticket was sold out way in advance. That reminds me of a lady at the Anchorage seminar that came all the way from San Francisco. She told me that she wanted to go to the Los Angeles seminar but was sold out so showed up at the Anchorage one.

My Los Angeles seminar wrapped up very well. I can feel that something certainly is on the move now. That something was at its height at the Santa Fe seminar on the 12th.


* Thursday, Sep 9, 2004 (2) Dinner with Samuel Goldwyn Jr.

We had planned to have dinner with Mr. Samuel Goldwyn Jr. at seven thirty that night. He is an owner of a famous movie production. You can read about him and his father in the following websites.

About Mr. Samuel Goldwyn (father):

He invited us to dinner because he had recently become the main distributor of the movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" This film was originally created by a small independent filmmaker in Portland, Oregon. Thus only a single movie theater was willing to show the film at first. The movie became more and more famous as people started to recommend it to other people. My Americna seminar tour through 13 major cities have helped to spread the word about the movie as well. The way this movie spread reminds me of how my "Message from Water" book spread. It is like a major publishing company buying the copyright of a independently published book and selling it in major book stores.

We (my wife, son, and myself) were surprised to find Mr. Samuel waiting for us by himself in front of a restaurant on Melrose. He had just turned 78 two days ago but was very youthful and full of curiosity.He retained a very good Hado and I liked him the instant I met him. He must have similar vibes than us, buying unconventional movie as this one.

A lady came up to us as we were talking at the table later. She saw "Message from Water vol. 3" that I gave to Mr. Samuel as a present sitting on the table. "Excuse me, where did you get this book? I have vol. 1 and vol.2 but I have never seen vol. 3 before," she said. Of course, she was very happy to find out that I was the author of those books and shook my hand.

"You are famous even in Hollywood. You are already a star!" Mr. Samuel exclaimed. I also was surprised by this encounter but was also very happy about it. I felt the great power of this book, or more so, the power of water itself. On top of the books, there now is a movie about it too! I am excited just to think about what will happen next. I won't be surprised to see my son's company get super busy very soon.

* Thursday, Sep 9, 2004 (1) Coming Soon! Hado Publishing USA

We left Anchorage at a little before one in the morning. We arrived at Los Angeles through Seattle at a little passed nine. My son, Hiromasa was waiting for us at the airport. He had been living in Los Angeles for seven years, since he was nineteen years old. He started to work for a travel agency there after graduating from a collage. However, the business was not the best after the 911 incident so he returned to Japan. He became IHM's sales representative.

I realized the usefulness of having a publishing and distributing office in the United States after my American April/May seminar tour. After discussing this with my wife, we decided that my son can start a company in Los Angeles, just as my daughter in Holland had successfully started a European version of it. Thus, my son arrived earlier at Los Angeles in order to start planning for our new American company: "Hado Publishing USA"

We went to look at the new office/living space at Hawthorne that afternoon. Later, we went to a lawyer's office at Ventura and filled out paper works for setting up a new company. After opening up a bank account tomorrow, he can start his job anytime now. This means that the new company's establishment date will be on September 11th. Of course, we never planned this but it's funny how a man that left the States because of a terrorist incident is coming back to the same country now to spread his father's peace process on the same day, three years later. I'm feeling a good vive to this project.

Good luck Hiromasa!!


* Wednesday, Sep 8, 2004 Alaska Seminar

We got in to Alaska, Anchorage through San Francisco since there is no direct flight. It took us a total of 26 hours from Japan to Anchorage because of an eight hour layover at San Francisco. The layover could have been shorter if we did not have to collect mileage through Star Alliance group. Or the flight itself could have only taken six and a half hours if we chartered a direct flight which is available during the on season. However, that would not have worked since it was only available for round trip and not only one way.

We arrived at the airport at 11 pm and found Venessa waiting. She is our Alaska seminar's coordinator and is also a musician for healing music. She is a reader of "Message form Water" and went out of her way to make this seminar possible.

One of the volunteer, Josetta, took us to the National Forest early the next day. The place was covered with glaciers and the image was definetly what I would say "THIS IS ALASKA". It was only about an hour south of the city of Anchorage.

I asked Josetta about the general characteristics of the Alaskan population. She told us that the majority of the people there are conservative and are supporters of the current government, the biggest reason being that even at this north most location, there are three big military bases. Does this mean that I should reconsider making critical comments on the current political situation? However, she told us, "oh, don't worry. The people that will come to your seminar are totally the opposite type of people." I was relieved to know that there are people with similar consciousness any where in the world.

The seminar at the AnchorageUniversity started at seven o'clock that night. The place was packed with over 200 people there. Our translator, Mr. Ando (a president of a travel agency and have lived in Alaska for over twenty years) said that he cannot remember when the last time the place was as packed with this type of seminar.

I would say that Alaska is a place to go for a vacation right now. As I have said, there are over thirty direct flights from Japan and the place is safe and no need to worry about any terrorisms. There was a sighting of an Aurora the night that I arrived there as well. Someone was kind enough to say that I brought the Aurora with me. It was a little too early for the season of Aurora right now but the perfect time is just around the corner. I recommend that you go see the beautiful Aurora, glaciers, and a forest full of different colored leaves. (Please contact Mr. Ando's office at 907-258-4690.)

Here is Mr. Ando's website: http://hai4690.home.sprynet.com

I talked about the connection between the recent abnormal weather around the world (Alaska was unusually hot this summer as well) and vibration, which was received with much excitement. I also mentioned about our plan for the NPO in response to the calling from the United Nation and asked for everyone's support. Everybody was very kindly took in my words and gave me a warm standing ovation. Another great start for my trip.


* Monday, Sep 6, 2004 Working Hard at the United Nation

I will be on the road again from today to September 30th, a total of 24days. I will be conducting seminars at Alaska, Los Angeles, Santa Fe, Chicago, New York, Regensburg, Chemnitz, Berlin, and Frankfurt this time.

One of the most exciting seminars is the one on September 17th at United Nation's Dag Hammerskjold Hall. The seminar is titled "Imagine Water for Peace Concert". The seminar is only restricted to UN staff and ministers of several countries but I will be the main guest speaking at that event. The seminar is from six o'clock to eight thirty o'clock and I will be allotted the last hour and a half from seven o'clock for my talk.

Our Prime Minister Koizumi will be making a speech at the UN's general meeting for the acceptance of membership into the UN Security Council just four days after my seminar. I am hoping that my talk will be of some help for the Prime Minister. I feel the workings of god for arranging my very first speech at the United Nation to be some kind of support for our Prime Minister's big day.

There is another exciting seminar planned on September 25th at Berlin and on 26th at Frankfurt. I will be having a joint seminar with EM's Dr. Higa on those days. Hopefully, there will be over 1000 people at each seminar coming to hear us talk about water and microorganisms. Don't you think that's pretty cool to have two Japanese people conduct a big seminar overseas? I'm certain the time for Japanese people to have world influences is edging closer.

Well, I'll be off now. Of course, my laptop will be coming with me so I will be keeping you up to date as things come up. Wish me luck (I am your representative)!
