* Sunday, Oct 31, 2004 A Happy Return Home

My 20 days of overseas tour is coming to a very successful end. As usual, I am full of satisfaction and looking forward to seeing my employees and our cat that only is attached to my wife (Tama, I still love you!). However, I have one more big reason to look forward to coming back home.


Tama, waiting for my wife to come home.

My grandson, Riku is waiting for me at home. My daughter's husband is an ex-pat in Holland and they had a wedding at Amsterdam four years ago. Our first grandchild, Riku, was born there a year and 8 months earlier. People might think that we don't get to see him very often because he's in Europe, but since we have chances to visit Europe for different occasions, we get to see him more than people think.

The last time I saw him was when he came to visit me in Liechtenstein in the middle of July, about three months earlier. However, three months is a long time for children that age, I can't wait to see how much he has grown.


He can walk as I hold his hand! (In Liechtenstein)

My daughter's family is back in Japan for her husband's brother's wedding this time. But my daughter and her son will be in Japan for about a month so I can live with Riku for a while. I'm very excited about this. I'm worried that if he remembers this old man though. I always thought I'm still young at heart but I guess I am getting pretty old. I'll be back home soon!!


The next morning, I had a meeting with sales manager, Betsy, about the plans of promotion of the movie in Japan at 8:30 in the morning. Then we did about an hour and a half of interview for the movie's DVD with William Arntz at his cabin. They wanted to add my interview in the DVD because there were many questions regarding who I am since my name, ideas and work appear in the movie but not myself.

My translator for the night before, Dianne, who is a third generation Japanese, came early in the morning to translate for me that day as well. I heard Dianne say "excellent! wonderful!" during the interview so I'm sure it went very well. I'm looking forward to see the finished product. And before I knew it, it was 10:30, the time for me to leave. I had to get on the 2pm flight to Los Angeles.

Pablo, the director of planning, who also was the priest at the wedding scene in the movie, took us to the airport. I was only at William Arntz's cabin for a day but I believe that we got to know each other well and promised each other to work to spread the message of the movie as a common goal.


At Seattle airport with Pablo

Will will be arriving in Japan on November 20th and will be talking at the 27th/28th event. Before that event, he requested that he wanted to go see the rural part of Japan. He said that his past life has some connection with Sakakibara in Nagano prefecture. When I researched that place, I found out that that is the birthplace of a famous Japanese poet, Issa Kobayashi.

If I exaggerate, I can say that this movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" is a film that has the potential to change the history of the humanity. How the bleep are the maker of such film and the famous Japanese poet connected!? I'm planning to interview him once he comes back from that pilgrimage.

* Friday, Oct 29, 2004-2 Seattle (2) Seminar at Ramtha School

William Arntz's log cabin was in the woods, about an hour and a half drive from the Seattle airport. He has been living there by himself for about five years now. The rest of the staff of the movie all live within thirty minutes drive so I suspect that much of the creation of the movie took place in his cabin. He has a little pond in this yard with a circulation system that reminds me of Japan. I'm sure it will be beautiful once the lotus flowers bloom.

One of the production crew, Betsy, was at the cabin with her husband and their newborn baby. She had been working in sales and distribution field for a long time so she gave me some good advices for running our upcoming event. She told us that the official release of the movie in Japan would be sometime in the next spring. I can't wait to have the movie arrive in Japan.

Betsy's husband arrived in a Superman costume but he is a very good singer and a guitarist so he started performing with my musician friend, Mr. Seto, right away. Not only that though, Betsy's husband was also a very skilled kinesiology practitioner. I had a short try with his treatment that joins chiropractic technology and channeling and was impressed. I wish I had a longer time to have a full treatment with him.

 


Fun loving Betsy's husband

 

In the end, there were about eight of the crews that gathered at Will's place, plus the four of us, the total of 12 people for the dinner. I enjoyed delicious seafood. At eight, we finished dinner and took off to the RamthaSchool for a scheduled seminar. This seminar was planned at only about a week earlier.

That school was located about half an hour from Will's place in a town called Yelm. It was dark so I didn't get a perfect idea of where we were going, but it was definitely a trip that made me wonder, a seminar at location like this? At 8:30 in the night? With 1000 participants? (I heard that was about the number of people to be expected.

However, when I entered the hall, there really were about 1000 people already there. Most people were laying down wrapped in sleeping bags or blankets. It was like a large hall, or a gymnasium. (I learned later that it used to be a training center for horse riding) There was a stage in the center and three large screens around it.

When I saw that situation, I understood right away that it is not a school for school children, but more of a training school for the adults. There were some Japanese looking people as well. I heard later that there are people from all over the world that come to take a course on Ramtha's teachings.

Ramtha's School of Enlightenment(UAS)…http://www.ramtha.com/
(Japan)…http://www.ramtha.jp/

First, William Arntz and Betsy got up on the stage. Just as they stood in front of the whole audience, there was a huge cheers and applause. It was like they were some famous singers or something. Every time they say a word, the place fills up with the audience's cheers. They are already very popular within that community. (Since Ramtha's chenneler appears in the movie, all the Ramtha fans have watched it more than once.)

And finally I was introduced. There was a huge round of applause and people started to stand up as I walked up to the stage. I was never welcomed as warmly and enthusiastically as this one with over 1000 people in the audience. What a stage! I knew I was going to have a lot of fun at that place. I felt like I was Elvis Presley for the 2 and half hours that I was on the stage. I could be hooked to this feeling! I have to remember that I am a serious, shy, Japanese missionary for peace!


Of course we ended with a standing ovation.

It was past midnight by the time we returned to Will's cabin but he was up cleaning up and washing dishes. He must be like a god to some of the new agers after making such a great film but he doesn't act anything like it. I found myself liking him more and more as I got to know this modest good natured man.


* Friday, Oct 29, 2004-1 Seattle (1)About "Water Song"

We left for Seattle on the 9am flight to meet the creators of the movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?". I was invited to William Arntz, the main man of the production's log house there. My original intent was just to go there for a friendly visit, but it turned out to be a lot more than that.

First, I met up with the musician, Ryusuke Seto and his wife at the Seattle airport. I had asked him for a song for the upcoming Water for Life Festival on the 27th of November. Since he lives in Seattle, and because we were told that his song has been completed, we decided to meet up at Seattle.

 


With Mr. and Mrs. Seto

There also was Pablo from the movie staff at the airport to greet me. I introduced Mr. and Mrs. Seto to him and we all got in their car and drove off to Will's log house. I would like to talk about Mr. Seto first here.

I met Mr. Seto for the first time about half a year ago through my wife's niece, Nobuko. Our first meeting was more of a formal, introductory type but there was something that I felt for him that I decided to ask him for a song. The following is an e-mail that I sent to him explaining the general image that I wanted the song to portray:

I am looking forward to hearing the song of water. Here is the general concept of the song.

We are all water
But how much do we really know about water?
Actually, we don't know anything
So, we don't know anything about our own selves
Like, where did we come from?
Why are we here?
And where would we go when we die?
We don't know anything.

We are all water
Water is actually from the Universe
So, we are also from the Universe
To give love and thanks to this earth
Once we are done with that, we will move on to another planet
If we cannot do what we were meant to do, then we stay and do it all over again
Until we can have love and thanks within ourselves.

We are all water
Let's understand water better
Then you can understand yourself better
Water's favorite words, Love and Thanks
And Harmony and Cycle
Let's express love and thanks to water
Water we love you
Water we thank you
Water we Respect you

Hope this would be of some help to you. Masaru Emoto

Mr. Seto understood and arranged what I wanted to say very well. He made a beautiful song, singing it with her daughter who is also a singer. His "Water Song" arrived through the internet in my e-mail inbox when I was in Budapest. I remember feeling goose bumps all over myself when I heard the song on my computer.

I am planning to have all of us sing the song as part of the festival on the 27th of November. There is an English version as well so I would like to take this song and spread it throughout the world.

Here is the English version of the lyric:

「WATER SONG」
Music by Aman Ryusuke Seto
Word by Luvian Hanayo Seto

Far across the universe, this shinning star,
Silver Blue, water star, Our Earth beautiful!
Flying through the Milky Way, river of light,
I wonder why I am here, standing on this Earth.

Why do we breath this air? Where do we go from here?
Let us ask ourselves, the water in each of us.
All we need is Love
All we need is a Thank You.
I will give this simple gift
All one in Harmony.

Listen to the voice within, the water inside of us,
Rippling through our soul, dancing Crystal clear.

Sing to her, a melody with soft angel voice.
You can change anything, delivering Harmony.

Raindrops falling from the sky, Nature's greatest gift.
Bringing blueness to our Earth, with Light of Love.
All we need is Love
All we need is a Thank You.
I will give this simple gift
All One in Harmony.

We can all hold our hands, sharing light and harmony.
Embracing our hearts, with Light of Love.
All we need is Love
All we need is a Thank You.
I will give this simple gift
All One in Harmony.
I will give this simple gift
All One in Symphony.

 


* Thursday, Oct 28, 2004-2 Hado Publishing USA Opening Party

When I left Japan in October 11th, my son was still in Japan. He drove us to the airport. In the car then, I said, "we should have an opening party when I get there, on the 28th of October." My son replied, "we don't have much time." But I suggested that we can still have a party for those people that can come with such short notice. My son agreed without hesitation as if to say that that is a great idea.

So my son left Japan on the 17th after some busy days of finishing off his work there, and moving out from his house. It had been ten days since he had started his new life in the US now. I'm sure he didn't have much time to prepare for the party but we surprisingly had about forty people come to the party. There were people that came all the way from Dallas, Sedona, Portland, and even Tennessee. There were people that organized my seminar, people that will be organizing them, and people that are marketing my books, and some of my fans as well. I was happy to see so many people attend despite the short notice and the fact that we had to charge for the entry fee into the party.


The Emoto family and Alan Roubik family.
(Mrs. Roubik came even though she was due anytime.
2nd one from the left is Jayme)


Miranda, Whisper (the dog) and Cynthia
(president of a publishing company)
We are planning for a new book.


San Francisco's Ms. Koinuma, a well known figure to all of us.
She was here in LA to help her pregnant daughter.


Mr. Khato being a great translator
as he always is even though he is a guest tonight.


Our friend from Dallas, Ralph. He's been to Japan to visit us too.


President of Source Book
She has been selling "Message from Water" since the beginning.


Mr. and Mrs. Felicia from Dallas, they are my great supporters.


Radio personalities and doctors from Sedona and San Diego

Dr. Show and his secretary
Dr. Show is already supporting our NPO
with his donation. He is the very first.
But that's not why we are laughing!

However, the person that came from the farthest part of the world was Yamada that came all the way from Japan just for this event. He left Japan in the evening of the 28th, arriving the morning of the same day, attended the party that evening, hopped on the airplane back to Japan the next day afternoon. He will be back in Japan on the afternoon of the 30th. Since he is in charge of accounting department in his office, he had to be back by the end of the month, the 31st. My son has a great friend that would come all the way across the continent for him.

The party turned out to be a lot of fun. Many people gave a speech and cheered the young two (my son and his wife) up for the upcoming challenges. My wife who is presented as the president of Hado Publishing USA looked like she was having fun as well. I was filled with satisfaction that I accomplished another good thing as a husband and a father.

I was especially surprised and happy to see Hiromasa give a presentation of a future management plan on a slide show. He must have been busy just setting himself up but I was impressed to see his plan look very positive and hopeful. Our daughter-in-law, Jayme was also being a great host. She was filled with gratitude towards me for making her dream of starting a family in the US come true. I was happy by this whole situation and couldn't help but to exchange many happy glances with my wife.

* Thursday, Oct 28, 2004-1 To My Son's House in Los Angeles

I flew out of Frankfurt on the afternoon of the 27th for an 11 and a half hour flight to Los Angeles. When I finally arrived, the time was four in the afternoon, LA time. I try not to care too much about these time changes. My watch is always on Japanese time and I let myself wake up even if it's very early in the morning, or sleep in the middle of the day, whenever I feel like it. I don't think I can keep up with a schedule like mine if I didn't follow that kind of a lifestyle.

I was greeted by my son and his wife at the airport. My son, Hiromasa is 28 years old, still a young boy from my point of view. He fell in love with a Philippina woman last year and got married without giving us much time to contemplate. Originally, I had sent him to California for a language study once he had finished high school because he did not know what he exactly wanted to do then. My daughter was studying at the CaliforniaStateUniversity at Northridge at that time so I thought she can take care of him.

As suspected, my daughter was the perfect caretaker for him. Even after she left for Holland, my son did well there, although it did take him six years to graduate from a junior collage. And he ended up working at a travel agency in California. Therefore, he learnt to speak in English while he was there.

However, because of the 911 incident, the amount of tourists from Japan decreased and he decided that he will return to Japan and help with my business. That was just about three years ago. For the first two years, he worked hard, and I was starting to think that I can be confident in him working at my office, until he met his current wife. As soon as they met, his whole attention was on their relationship and without giving much time, I heard him declare that they were married.

I unwillingly went to Manila to meet her family although I was not at the best of mood. They started living together in Japan from last November. I get worried about Jayme, my new daughter-in-law, since she speaks English well but her Japanese is not improving much. Japan can be prejudice and closed to outsiders, especially women from Southeastern Asia.

While that was going on, there was an increasing necessity for a business office in the USA with the increasing popularity of the movie. I realized that necessity during the April and May US seminar tour when I talked in 13 different cities. My wife and I decided to set up a company in the States for my son and his wife who we thought would be a lot happier there.

We went to the States again in September and took care of legal situations for setting up a company and finding home/office space. We decided to call the company Hado Publishing USA. My son and his wife returned back to Japan once and formally moved to the US in the middle of October. And now here they are at the LA airport to greet us.

I felt surprisingly relaxed at my son's new home. I was able to rest a lot better than at a hotel. Even though we only spent a night there, the place has already become a home for the family.


* Wednesday, Oct 27, 2004 Hado Life Europe

I flew from Hungary to Zurich with a stop over in Frankfurt. Stocking up mileage becomes important for a person like me who travels a lot. There is a direct flight from Bucharest to Zurich, the capital of Swiss, if I use Swiss Air or Hungary Air. However, I collect mileage with the Star Alliance group so the only airline I can use for most part of Europe is Lufthansa Air.


Since my wife took a very good picture of the Alps,
she took them again.

If I use the Star Alliance group to fly, all those mileage will be added together and I can usually get one out of five flights for free. Thus, I rarely fly with airlines that are not part of the group. There are bargain prices within that group as well. If I took direct routes only, without any regards to the Star Alliance group, it will probably have cost twice as much in total.

I don't know if utilizing the mileage plan is the best system or not but at this moment, I can't ignore this system. (I think this is another system brought to life in the competitive world of capitalism.) Star Alliance member airlines are Lufthansa, United, Scandinavia, Singapore, Thai, BMI, and Varig so most part of the world is covered.

At the Zurich airport, the team in Hado Life Europe was there to greet me. They were, Rasmus, Akihiro Otake the vice president, and Masaya Sato the hidden command post. I will tell you why I call him the hidden command post sometime later but this is his second time in Liechtenstein and as a result, he brings happiness to wherever he goes.

It was about an hour and a half drive to our lab. I think the Liechtenstein team is learning to build good relationship with each other, communicating with broken English. It is all because of Sato, he has such a mysterious power. Since things seemed to be going so well, I changed the original plan and decided to stop by at a Japanese restaurant, again called Fuji. The picture below is the dinner at the restaurant.


Far right is Otake Vice President,
Rasmus in the front, and ninja Masaya on the left.

Yukiko came to the office from Northern Germany the day before so the whole staff is here in Liechtenstein now. And then there were guests that came to see me one after another that I did not have time to rest. First, there was X, who is the manager of the famous German singer, Nena. She brought her friend Y to the very first workshop in Europe for the license of Aqua Instructor. I met her for the first time at the Berlin seminar and she told me about how she wanted to design a jewelry using the crystal. So I recommended that she try out for the Aqua Instructor.

The six hours workshop turned out well with Yukiko translating for us. Now the very first Aqua Instructor in Europe is born. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring our camera then so no pictures are available now. However, I'm sure I will have time to introduce them in more details later.

At 7 in the evening, Brigitta came to visit from Vienna with Roman Storm. We had a serious talk about the WATER FOR LIFE FOUNDATION with them at the restaurant by the hotel. We promised that they will set up a similar NPO organization in Vienna as well. It seems like this project is constantly moving forward.

The next day, Konrad of the Koha Publishing came to visit from Munchen. He had an interesting idea for the next book to publish. I liked his idea so I agreed to his contract on the spot and signed a pre-agreement with him. I am happy that many people supporting me are coming up with new ideas individually. If things are going to be like this, I won't have any economic problems soon.

It was only two days stay there but I think I got a lot accomplished. I am satisfied by the way Hado Life Europe in Liechtenstein turned out. Oh, one more thing to report, Ales from Slovenia is part of the team now. He was here for the one week training and with the successful turn out of his water crystal pictures, he is now a proper employee of Hado Life Europe. I will be introducing him in more details later. The office at Liechtenstein is becoming more and more like an established company. By the way, I will be flying to Los Angeles tomorrow. What another crazy schedule!



Since I travel around with my laptop, I can stay on top of the news in Japan through the internet. Therefore, I heard about the recent big earthquake right away as well. I was shocked to hear the news of the disasters of the earthquake that spread as time passed. I was especially worried because I had just gone to visit Tokamachi-shi for a "National Snow Festival" about three months ago. I made friends with the local people there and I was able to experience the beautiful nature of the surrounding location. I just had to prayed that no more bad news traveled through the internet to my computer.

I heard from Yamada, one of the staffs at the Japanese office, right away with the decision to send "Thank you water" water to the company's friends and customers that lived in hard-hit places. We did a similar thing during the Hanshin earthquake and were received very well then.

So what is happening to Japan this year? Even CNN broadcasted a news about "Why is Japan suffering through so many natural disasters?" The nine Typhoons that hit the country, river overflow from continuous heavy rain, the land slides, the explosion of Asamayama volcano, a mysterious movement within the Mount Fuji, and now this big earthquake. It seems like Japan is the target for all the natural disasters. Do these mean something? Here is my theory on it.

Next year will be the 60th year after the end of the World War II. This means that it will be 60 years since Japan lost the war and the country was destroyed. This also means that it will be 60 years since the world saw the end of the World War II. Therefore, we can all experience the 60th birthday of the end of the war and can graduate from those horrible experiences of the war.

However, if we look at Japan and the rest of the world separately, Japan is obvious ready to graduate from those experiences of the war but the rest of the world probably would have to repeat the same grade. This means that there is no point in having only Japan graduate. Japan is only a crew on a ship called the World. Even if this one crew is exceptionally good, he/she is still a part of a big ship that is slowly sinking and will take all the crews with it.

Throughout this 60 years, we Japanese have worked hard and brought good results. If there wasn't the economic growth that came from the development of Japanese high technology, what would the world have looked like? I think that the world economy was supported by the Japan to a point. We had the serious attitudes towards work, hard working, always hopeful of advancement, precious knowledge because of these, and fairness and humbleness. The economic power of Japan throughout these 60 years have been created by such attitudes are now supporting so many countries and gave wealth to them. We cannot forget how hard our parents worked for the family. The extraordinary energy of love from our fathers and mothers who have worked so hard for the family without regards to their own idealism is what we have been healed with and what spilled over to the other parts of the world to heal the others.

I have learned the greatness and the positive parts of Japanese people through my five years of traveling around the world. In every county's immigration, the officers say "konnichiwa" as soon as they see my Japanese passport. Then they will do a quick check (there are places that do not even check) and say "Arigatou" as they pass me back the passport.

Every immigration officers, whose jobs are to look at people with distrust, seem to welcome the Japanese people. I think this is the proof of the well advanced Japanese economy that had the room to help the other countries out. I am not saying that Japanese are ethnically superior or anything. I just think that through looking at the humanity's history objectively, Japanese success is at that level in the world right now.

By looking at the world through that idea, I can understand why there are so many natural disasters in Japan currently. It must be a SOS phenomenon from the nature that attracts energy from Hado. In another words, that nature, the "something great" ‘s creator is trying to make us realize our own acts through somewhat of a rough method.

This earth is like a very ill person. Its temperature has risen about 2 degrees because of the 4.5 billion people increase of the population in the last hundred years and the use of harmful energy sources to maintain that population. We humans are the micro universe, and the earth is the macro human, if a person's temperature went up two degrees and did not go down, it is a serious illness. That is why; the earth is a very ill person right now.

The time the earth can stay alive depends on how strong its immune system is. If that time is long enough, it will have time to heal itself without too much problem. We can only have faith in its immune system.

The place to supply that immunity is Asia, it is Japan. There is an idea of taking the five continents of earth in five colors and seeing it as five parts of intestines. I like that way of thinking. The heart would be red Americas, the lung would be white Europe, the kidney would be black Africa, the liver would be green Australia, and the spleen is the yellow Asia. Of course, the spleen is where immune system is.

Earth is hurting with its global warming. The only place that can help it is Asia, and looking at the Asian current situation, I can clearly say that the only place for it is Japan. Is it too much to say that a Japanese civil scientist, Masaru Emoto myself, has started working on the advancement of the earth's immunity five years ago?

The process of healing the earth has already started from 1999 when I called for the movement of giving love and thanks to the earth's water, and setting up the "Water for Life Foundation" and the upcoming festival on November 27th and 28th.

I did not think about this when I started my movement five years ago. But now, I can see clearly that what I have been doing, and what I will be doing is all for the reason of helping the earth. I am convinced enough to be able to talk about it here now. My ten years of work and success of it has been taken in positively and given hope for the people all over the world which has all added up as my confidence.

I am at a point of running as a candidate as your leader working for the emergency aid of supplying immunity for the earth. What convinced me to do this is the unnatural amount of natural disasters that hit our country. I assume that there were about 300 deaths by the natural disasters this year. I would like to make a promise in front of all the sacrificed souls that I will be working towards the world peace for the rest of my life.


* Saturday, Oct 23, 2004 Budapest Seminar

My book in Hungarian was published this March but I have never had a seminar there yet. Jakab, who published the Hungarian version, is not a real publisher but has a company for health food. However, he was moved by my "Message from Water" that he strongly pushed for its publishing in his own language.


Budapest Seminar coordinator, Mr. and Mrs. Jakab
and Ms. Michiyo Tominaga

I met Jakab for the first time when I went to Hungary last march. He is a successful business man of 48 years old. His health food company deals with "Tea Mashroom" as its main product as well as many other types of products. He does business with Southeast Asia and North America as well. The company is one of the most well established in its genre.

He himself has written his own book about Sacred Geometry and was very interested in the hexagonal shape of the crystals. So, he is not only a successful business man but also a researcher of Sacred Geometry. When I met him in March, he expressed his desire to open a crystal photography lab in Hungary as well. He drove all the way from Budapest (10 hours) to my Liechtenstein's seminar and ceremony.

So the seminar he planned was well planned and organized. It was like a whole Hado symposium. The seminar hall was not too big but was located in the best land in front of a train station. There were six lecturers including myself and an exhibition space on another floor. There were people trying out various medical care and relaxation methods there, just like the ones in Japan.

The place opened at ten and I was the first lecturer starting at 10:30. By then the hall with four hundred seats were all filled and there were about 200 people sitting on the floor or standing about. There also were about 100 people that saw my seminar through a TV monitor in another room. Even then, there were many people that were not able to enter to listen to my seminar. It was amazing especially because the country is still at its developing stage.

The fact that I was received warmly with full seminar halls and standing ovations at the Eastern European countries of Poland, Romania and Hungary makes me realize the great power of the water crystals and "Message from Water". These countries do not seem as distant as it used to be.


Receiving a long standing ovation from a full crowd


Wow, there is a Sapporo Ramen, I thought,
but it was actually the name of a local beer.
In front of the restaurant that we went after the seminar.

Jakab and his wife also will be participating at the November 27th, 28th event with his translator. Later, he will have training at our lab for one week. He already is building a three story building by his home for the research of water. If you see him at the event, please go up to him and congratulate him on his work. If there are anybody that speaks even a little Hungarian and would like to volunteer to take his beautiful wife for Tokyo sightseeing, please let us know.


* Friday, Oct 22, 2004 Japanese Food and Japanese Women

The thing that I have the most problem with when traveling is food. I am especially picky about food (they say that people that are picky about food has unbalanced personality?). I can't take the taste of milk, butter, cheese, nor cream. And I can't eat meat except for chicken. That's why it becomes hard when I travel to western world. The first thing I do is to ask the local people if they have any Japanese restaurants. If they don't, my meals will be tomato pasta or fried chicken and French fries. Not so good for my health. If I can't get any of the above, I end up with Chinese food. You can always find a Chinese restaurant wherever you go.

However, Budapest had some great meals waiting for me. There was a reader of Hado magazine in Budapest that is running a Japanese restaurant called Fuji and we were invited to that place not once but twice. Her name is Midori Sarai Higashiguchi, and has a wonderful lifestyle.

She came alone to this country in search for an adventure (leaving her home town behind?) about 25 years ago. Hungary was under a communist regime with a lot of restrictions and lack of freedom at the time but she did well among the fast changing society. She brought up two children and started a successful business as well. She is a president of a business called Japan Cooperation and has a wide variety of business under her leadership.

One of her businesses is the publishing of a monthly magazine called Paprika Communication (see the picture below). It is a Japanese information magazine made in Hungary and there is a lot of useful information about the country. On top of that, you can feel Midori's love for Japan and its culture in the magazine even if she is physically far away from it. This is more of an educational volunteering rather than a business since the magazine is free for those in Hungary. This month's magazine will be the volume 118 so it's been going on for about 10 years now. That is a great work.


Monthly magazine, Paprika Communication

There are many things to think about now that I travel to many different countries. One of the most impressive things is the Japanese women in foreign lands. Even in a remotest and unknown part of a country, there are Japanese women that have married and have important roles as a mother, wife, and an economic contributor to a family.

I would love to write a book someday about these numerous Japanese women overseas. These women are like the 1st sent army that waits for the Japanese men to come in. Therefore, for those middle aged men that have dreams of going off, don't worry about the language. Just take off to the country that you have the passion for and you will definitely meet the local Japanese woman that was like the 1st sent army to welcome you. But that is only if what you are doing is acceptable enough for her.

Oh yes, the Japanese food at Midori's place was superb. I know I will be visiting Budapest many times again.


Going to Budapest from Fierenze through Munchen means going across the Alps. My wife took some pictures of snow covered mountains from the window of the airplane. It looks pretty good doesn't it?

My wife is responsible for countless things while she is touring for my seminar with me. She will pack and carry luggage, wash clothes, look after my health, work with the slides during the seminar, monetary management, be an assistant, and a photographer. I really wouldn't know what I would do without her.

We have been traveling together like this for about five years now so I would like to say that we are used to it and things go about very smoothly. However, there always are new unexpected surprises and full of thrills every time we travel. My wife and I are constantly remaking our relationship as husband and wife and helping each other grow through these travels. This must be inevitable since we are always together, 24 hours a day, and the thoughts of each other are always on our minds.

Before the main seminar on the 23rd, I attended an on-boat seminar going down the DanubeRiver with a prayer ceremony on the MargitIsland. This was organized by a different organization than Jakab's organization that has invited me to Budapest this time. The event attracted about 150 participants of which over half the people were from outside the country, a very international crowd. I gave a short seminar on the boat while going down the DanubeRiver. I talked in English and a woman translated that into Hungarian. I think it turned out very well.

However, the boat was not very big so the place was packed with 150 people. There were about 20 people that had to squeeze themselves to the other side of the screen so that they were watching the reverse side of my slide presentation. With so many people with different nationalities, the place had a great atmosphere and I had a lot of fun.

We got off the boat at MargitIsland after the seminar and had a prayer ceremony. The ceremony was lead by what I thought was a spiritual leader who has lead events like this before. He talked in a beautiful and comprehensive voice as we all meditated. It was a very enjoyable and beautiful moment.


The ceremony at Margit Island after the on-boat seminar.

There was a pre-party at a nearby university hall that evening. There was another fun event for me there; I was to sing a song.

I was actually in Hungary in March as well. I did not have a seminar then. Of course, I did not speak Hungarian, and my host, Jakab did not speak English so he had found a Japanese-Hungarian translator. Her name is Michiyo Tominaga. She came to study vocal music in Hungary about 15 years ago and met her current pianist husband. She has three children now.


Mrs. Tominaga's family, she has twin boys.

We had some great talks about music with her then. We talked about how we should sing a song together the next time I am in Hungary. So Michiyo remember that promise and had prepared for it at the party this time. I didn't have a choice but to sing then, but this was harder than I initially anticipated. Our duet, "Hana" went very well, with her singing the high note and myself singing the low. The problem surfaced when we both were to sing solos. I had a bad feeling when Michiyo stepped up to sing "Madame Butterfly". And my bad feeling came true.

I was not expecting her to sing so beautifully because she told me that she has not been studying vocal music anymore. However, her mesmerizing soprano voice sounded superb even in the university hall. Her powerful voice filled the whole place and seemed to burst through the walls. It was too late for me to regret not singing before her. I gave up and just concentrated on my song, Canzone's "Toma a Surriento". I just focused on putting as much emotion as possible in the song and slowly, started singing.

Consequently, I think I sang pretty well. Of course, Michiyo was a lot better but I received a lot of claps as well. My wife said, "You were great", so I was happy. I may have gotten the hold of it and may have to re-plan my seminar talks to include my song in.


* Saturday, Oct 19, 2004 Montecatini (Central Italy) Seminar

Montecatini is a town of retreat facility only about an hour drive from Firenze. The place is somewhat like the Japanese hot spring retreat town, although Montecatini is more focused on sophisticated medical rehabilitation work. The whole town contains different Italian structural features and has a nice feeling to the whole place.


The event was held at this water therapy center
that looks like a castle.

By the way, my wife is born in the year of bore

In Japan, hot spring is usually used to bathe in but here, the water is drunk to cleanse the inner body. It's been seen to especially work for liver problems and digestive systems. The doctors there pass out different concentrations of the water accordingly before breakfast and have the patient go to the toilet right after. Because of this, there are 520 toilets in the whole facility!

There are seven different water sources in this town. The people have been coming to drink this water for health reasons for about hundred years now. This town as a whole slowly became a big health retreat facility and attracted people from all over Europe. Thus, the fact that water holds information is a very important lifeline for the whole town, so me being invited for their "Water and Culture" event is nothing unusual in a way.

This seminar was originally planned for the 23rd, during the week long event. However, the planner, Raphael, who found out about my work wanted to invite me. She tried different ways to contact myself but things did not go smoothly. When she was finally able to get hold of me through Yuko Sakomura whom she has worked previously with in Japan, it was two months before the event.

However, I was booked to go to Moscow at that time so I could not accept the invitation. But there was that awful school hostage incident in Russia right afterwards. I decided to cancel my trip to Moscow to show my lack of support for such action and because it was too shocking. I notified Raphael that I will be able to be in Italy on the 18th or the 19th. So even though there were other lecturers scheduled, she moved the whole seminar on the 19th for me.

However, this seminar which was held in front of the city mayor, prominent people from the chamber of commerce, professors of the local university, and medical doctors, did not turn out to be the best one that I have given. They called an actress from Milan over to run the seminar but I did not get along with her and could not catch my rhythm for the whole time. That made me realize that I still have a lot to improve on.

* Friday, Oct 16-Saturday, Oct 17, 2004 Romania Bucharest Semina

There were many things that I felt being in Romania for the first time. The organization that invited me there is a Yoga organization called Misa, a well organized group with about 35000 members. They have a six story building that can accommodate about 600 people. It took them four years to remodel what used to be an old dormitory during the communism era. They have branches in Denmark, Czech, France, and Italy so they must be a pretty powerful organization of its kind.

However, I learned that this group is not very welcomed by the government from how the press conference and the seminar that I had was treated. There were numerous TV, newspaper, and magazine staffs at the press conference which was held at an established hotel (Hotel Marriott). The interviews went very positively in the beginning but it gradually became stranger and stranger as more negative questions were thrown at me.


TV crews at the press conference

I did not directly answer those questions but just explained that those questions will be answered at my seminar following this interview. I knew I should not take them seriously because it was obvious that they wanted to find materials to embarrass me and the organization. There seemed to be press groups that have been told to give negative images to this organization.

So, this organization, Misa is like Falun Dafa in China where the government is looking for every reason to bash the organization. On the other hand, Misa wanted to express that their Yoga meditation and practices are not unscientific, that it works under the same principle as what the world famous scientist (?), Dr. Emoto is promoting.

It's been 15 years since the overthrow of the Chausesk regime but this country is still scarred from the communist era. This must explain to a point why the average income is only a few hundred dollars in such a fertile land with plenty of water.

The world's second largest building

The next evening, I conducted a seminar at their headquarter which was about half an hour from the middle of the town. Their six story building looks like it was built as part of a housing project. Of course there is no elevator there and the main lecture hall is located on the top floor. It was an ordeal to climb all those stairs since I have bad legs but I made it with my wife's support. When I reached the top floor though, I was surprised to see an open space as big as a gymnasium lined with rows of about 500 chairs. The place is usually used for Yoga's practices so the floor was scrubbed very well.

There were only about ten people in the beginning but as the time approached for the seminar, people started to pile in and quickly filled the prepared 500 seats. I could feel the place filled with strong, powerful energy. As I looked around, I noticed many young good looking people. When I was leaving Japan, my son said, "dad, I heard that there are a lot of good looking people in Romania." Well, he was right about that!

Consequently I enjoyed three hours of my seminar. Nicholai, the director of the organization spoke for about half an hour before my talk. From what he was saying, I knew right away that I can say anything to these people and they will understand me. Therefore, I was able to talk about things that I usually wouldn't feel comfortable talking about, such as my view of the universe. I had so much fun at the seminar because I was able to express everything I wanted to say and the people understood what I was saying as well. I received a lot of laughter and clapping.


He is the director, Nicholai

I can see that we will be having a long term relationship with this organization. I thought they were a group of young people with a great potential.


* Friday, Oct 14, 2004 A Sad News

I received a sad news from Giorgio in Europe today. I heard that Jacque Benveniste passed away at a hospital in Paris on October 3rd at the age of 69. He was the very first person to write a scientific paper that showed that water holds data and information.

He did a research on the fact that water holds memory while he was studying at the University of Paris. His work was published by the English magazine, Nature in 1988. Nature is a very prominent scientific magazine where scientists of the world dream of having their papers published.

I started to seriously get involved with water since 1987, a year before his paper was published. I didn't even know that such paper existed until recently. So he is a person that has gone way ahead of me, and someone that I respect. From what I heard from my friend, Lee Lorenzen, Dr. Benveniste had a tough time as a scientist after that published work.

The paper that was supposed to bring him fame and glory was responded by countless harsh criticism by the rest of the scientific community. The editor of Nature that published it was also attacked by them. I read the paper as well, but was too sophisticated and scientific that I had a hard time understanding it. I felt that the scientists back then were conspiring to disqualify the idea that water can carry information.

Later, Dr. Benveniste lost his job as a professor at his university and had to continue his research outside the circle of the prominent scientific community. However, he started to draw attention again with the publishing of my "Message from Water" book about five years ago. He was invited as the guest lecturer at the 2nd Water Symposium at Lucerne in Swiss.

I was also invited to that symposium as a lecturer so I met him for the first time there. We took a glass each at the party on a boat floating over the LucerneLake and gave a toast while promising that we will work together for water.

I received an e-mail message from him two months before explaining that he was looking for a grant to support his research. I told him that I had just decided to set up an NPO, "Water for Life Foundation", so that I may be able to help once that is set up in the coming spring.

His death came as a big shock because of that as well. He was even nominated for Nobel Prize twice. I have been insisting in my books and seminars that the scientific research on something as important to the whole world as water should be conducted more rigorously. Now that one of the very first people to look at water in scientific research is gone, I have to say that the humanity is still very vulnerable and ignorant.

I am promising to Dr. Benveniste's soul that I will set up a foundation for water research and support those upcoming researchers of water.


* Wednesday, Oct 13, 2004 Visiting Chopin's Home

Today was an off day (even in Japan) for the first time in a while. Christopher, the president of the publishing company, took us to visit Chopin's home. It was about an hour drive from Warsaw. I realized that this country is still in the process of developing from the way the roads were and the way people drive the car. From visiting numerous countries, I learned that I can learn a lot about a country's culture and its economic development my looking at the road and the way cars are driven.


With Christopher


My wife and Mrs. Takako Itoh who is married to a Polish man.
Mrs. Itoh is Christopher's neighbor. He invited her for us.

I have a love for music and have already been to the homes of Mozart and Beethoven. So going to the home of Chopin was my wish. Now I can say that I have been to the homes of my three most favorite musicians of all time. My next goal is to visit homes of Italian musicians.

Chopin's home was as if it was guarded by the Japanese people. Each room had descriptions on the walls in Japanese. The guides on the tape that you can hear through the speakers in each room were in Japanese as well.

Here is what I thought about the country, after seeing the city from an observatory at a tall building, and driving through the country side today. I felt the great possibility of this country. There is a great stretch of spacious and flat land, as well as plenty of rivers. Harsh winter starts as early as November there, but that does not hinder the farming ability.

Even in a country that communism left a big scar on, I believe that the most necessary thing in this earth now is farming. I felt that if Japanese food processing companies came in with advance technologies and more capable personnel to share with this country, we can both help each other.


* Tuesday, Oct 12, 2004 Warsaw Seminar

It took us about a year, but finally the Polish version of the book is published. (see the pictures below) Warsaw seminar was actually not organized by the publisher to mark the book's launch but it was organized by the publisher of NIEZNANY SWIAT (The Unknown World), an esoteric science magazine. This magazine started its history in 1983 and has sold about 100,000 copies, a prominent magazine in that genre.


"Message from Water" in Polish

The editor of this magazine had attended my seminar in March at Warsaw that was only open to staffs and related personals. I had an interview with him back then. Apparently, he was moved by my talk and had been planning something for me until today. That something was an award of NIEZNANY SWIAT Scientist of the Year, a ninth year running award.


The award

The hall was packed with the readers of the magazine; there were people standing at the back and people that didn't fit in the hall itself. The capacity was probably about 300 people but there must have been about 400 in all. A prestigious looking award was read by a famous Polish actor and was handed over to me.

My seminar that followed went very well and received a standing ovation from all the audiences. And after my talk, a heated discussion and Q&A session followed for well over half an hour. Many of the questions were technical and intelligent. I heard later that many of the people there were professors of universities, researchers, and journalists from scientific writings.


Standing ovation at Warsaw

Poland must be a country of progressive and revolutionary science since it has fostered Copernicus or Marie Curie. I was truly happy about the fact that I received my first award from such a country. As you can see, the magazine had devoted eight pages to my work and myself and spread the idea to vast amount of Polish people. There was a television crew at the seminar for the whole time as well. The next day, I will be talking with a producer of a children's program for a possible part in it.


Featured section of NIEZNANY SWIAT

The Polish "Message from Water" sold very well, my hand still feel heavy from autographing so many books.


* Monday, Oct 11, 2004 Off to Eastern Europe

On the 9th (Saturday) Soar's Mr. Yamaguchi and his staffs came to the office to talk over the event in November. The next day, Mochizuki from IHM Design came all the way to my house to look over the revised edition of "Message from Water Vol. 3". There also was an urgent request of an essay from Gakken by the 13th. However, the 13th would be right smack in the middle of my Warsaw seminar and I wouldn't know how the internet situation will be. So I was determined to finish the essay before I leave Japan. For both the 10th and the 11th, I woke up at three in the morning to and finally finished. The truth is, ever since I came back from Europe in the 1st of October, I have not gotten over the jet lag and couldn't get enough sleep. I'm a little worried about my business trip from today.

The Polish version of my book has been published now so I am going to Warsaw to give a seminar to mark the distribution of that book. After that, I will be going to Romania for the first time. I am invited by the local Yoga natural therapy organization and will be holding a couple of seminars at Bucharest. Then, I will fly over to Italy's Monticatini, a town known for natural hot spring therapy, to attend an international forum of "Water and Culture". I will be going back to Hungary then and conduct a couple of seminars and a ceremony for the prayer of water. Then I will get in to Liechtenstein where I will meet up with Otake and Sato. I'm looking forward to being there because the Europe office should be working in a full gear by then. I have a plan to meet Brigitta again there. After all that is done, I will fly to Los Angeles from Frankfurt. My son's office will be ready by then in LA so we will throw a small opening party and ask for support on our opening of the new company. I also will have a meeting with Miranda and Cynthia for the publishing of the book there. Then I will finally fly back to Japan on October 31st. Another crazy, productive, and giving three weeks on the road.

So off I go!


Mr. Nagano from Kochi came to visit me for the first time in a long while. He is like my older brother and has taken care of me in various ways. He comes up in few of my books as well. He is the one that taught me the cloud erasing game in Sedona, Arizona.

He had just retired from his position of a president at Irimajiri Oil. (The interesting name, Irimajiri comes from an established family name in Kochi, whose direct blood line goes down to Mr. Nagano's mother.) I had invited him about a month ago to come see me when he is in Tokyo the next time. And this next time was today.

Not only did I want to see him, but I wanted to share the idea of the NPO with him and ask him to be a part of the board. I had been thinking about the inclusion of Mr. Nagano in the project ever since I originally thought of the "WATER FOR LIFE FOUNDATION" organization. I thought there would be an important meaning in having a person that had been working in the oil industry. I also thought that we should have a representation of Kototama's Shikoku. ("Kototama" comes from the initials of the four prefectures that make up Shikoku. Kochi, Tokushima, Takamatsu, and Matsuyama. Kochi is the first one out of those four, and a place of Ryoma Sakamoto. Shikoku also is the place of the real meaning of KonpiraMountain, the mountain that opens the words, the legend of Kenzan, and Awa dance (the myth of YHWH). Shikoku is a very special place for me.)

Because he has heard of my ideas earlier and was understanding from the beginning, he happily accepted my request of him being on the board. This project is starting off on the right foot so far.


* Wednesday, Oct 7, 2004 Visitors from Malaysia

Five staffs, including the president of a health related company in Malaysia came to visit me at the office. I had been in contact with them for few months now. All five of them came all the way to Japan just to meet me.


With the Malaysian visitors

The only thing I knew about Malaysia was that they had pro-Japanese attitude and the world tallest TwinTower is there. I learned with the two hours talk that the country's population is about 25million of which 60% are Muslims, how interesting. My guests have connections with the new government of the country and they offered to introduce me to the prime minister and high officials form different countries at an event held at the end of January.

I have always wanted to visit an Islamic country. I have traveled to quite a few places but I have not had the chance to visit an Islamic country yet. I cannot ignore that part of the world if I were to really talk about peace. How would they take my ideas? The invitation to Malaysia came just as I was thinking about these things.

Therefore, I did not hesitate at all to accept the invitation. I will be going there on January 20th of next year. We started talking about Islam. As we were talking about things such as the water of Zamzam, I suddenly remembered something. It was three years ago.

A young man came to visit me at my hotel while I was at Alsace in France. He handed me a paper in a folder and said, "This paper contains 99 names of the Islamic god. I was told by Allah to give this to you. He told me to just hand it to you, and you will decide what to do with it." I just stood there and took the folder. "What does this mean? The answer should come when it is necessary." I thought then. I had not done anything with that paper since then.

I told my visitors about this incident and showed them the paper with 99 names of Allah written in Arabic. The president said, "let's sing the song of the 99 names to the water with jasmine essence." So a man that knew Arabic started to sing. The song sounded good and it was musically well structured. I don't know if a crystal will form but I will try.


Singing the song of Allah's 99 names to the water


99 names of Allah

I promised myself that I will start showing each 99 names to water and take crystal pictures right away. I hope to show some of them to the people in Malaysia when I get there next year.

The next day, I received an e-mail from a publisher in Lebanon asking for permission to publish "Message from Water" for the twenty countries in the Middle Eastern region. I felt the great power of the 99 names of god working for me as I pressed the reply key and typed in YES.


I had a telephone interview with a spiritual magazine based in San Francisco call "Mount Shasta" in the morning. The talk went very well, especially because the translator was very knowledgeable on the subject. Consequently, we were on the phone for about an hour and a half.

There was a board meeting from the afternoon. We close our year at the end of September so there was a lot to talk over about. Time just flew by in that meeting room. I had to leave in the middle to attend another meeting with the publisher of a new book that is coming out. It is hard to keep up with the management side of the company.

This book is coming out from a middle sized publisher called Seishun Publishing. The theme of the book is "words that will make people more energetic". I'm hoping that this will be ready by the big event in November but it will all be up to me to get it done on time.

Later, at six o'clock, Mr. Chiba, the president, and Mr. Yamaguchi, the vice president of Soars came for a meeting about the November event. We talked over dinner until about nine o'clock. Oh, what a busy day!

However busy I am though, I will never lose my heart and spirit.


* Tuesday, Oct 5, 2004 At Tama Parthenon

I attended the after-party last night so I stayed over at Kyoto. I stayed at Kyoto Grand Pia for the first time that night. That place had an obvious planning and designing failure. It was like a long maze in the building and was not very accommodating for elderly and handicapped person. We walk for a while until we reached our room.

However, there was something that made up for all the faults in the building. The employees' service was superb, they all had a very good Hado vibes. Since this hotel was under the branch of JR, I'm looking forward to the day that the post system becomes private and a hotel is built on top of it.

I hopped on the Bullet Train Shinkansen around 10:30 that day and reached Tokyo Station at a little passed one. Kizu from the research team was waiting for me at the platform. A water crystal exhibition is starting from today at Tama Parthenon and I was scheduled to give an hour of speech from three o'clock.

On top of that, Mr. Shiratori from Bungakuza is waiting for me at 2:30 at the exhibition hall. Mr. Shiratori wrote a movie script called "Stone Age" and I had been a sort of an advisor to the film for about half a year. She had finally finished the script so she came to introduce me to her Producer that day. I had been advising for this script because the main theme in the movie is about Hado. They will start filming from this February for about half a year. Hado is starting to make its impact into films both in Japan and the US it seems.

I was scheduled to talk for one hour but I decided to use the last half of it for a Q&A session. There is a very moving episode that I would like to share from that session. I bet things like this keep me going with my busy schedule. Ms. A, Thank you for a splendid message.

**********

Date:October 9th (Saturday) 2004 18:27:52
From:A
Subject: Hello Dr. Emoto

My name is A. I was attending your session at Tama center the other day. My mother and I were helped by "thank you water" water with Hado of love and gratitude when my mother was treated for acute myelocytic leukemia this April. I was hoping to thank you at the Q&A session that day, however, I was too full of emotion just thinking about the terrible side effect that my mother suffered from anticancer drugs that I could not force words out of my mouth.

The anticancer drugs were used for about three and a half days but the hardest time was the days of recovering from its side effects. My mother was in a clean room and also because her health was poor, she was only able to take water in.

She suffered from three days of high fever (38.7 degrees in Celsius) as she took in "Water, We Thank You" and nail massage therapy and lympha massage. However, she became well after that. Now that I think about it, the body was probably trying to get rid of all the toxins in it. There was a nurse that has heard of "Water, We Thank You" and said that she wanted to try it.

My mother currently is still not at her best but better enough to have a normal life back. We decided that since the illness is still part of her own body we will try to live with it in peace. We have to learn to love and be thankful to the illness that has brought mother and daughter closer.

Thank you illness, and thank you Dr. Emoto for showing us the basic of giving thanks. The Hado of love and gratitude must have purified my mother's deformed blood just as it has transformed polluted water into crystal forming water. My mother is now completely on natural therapy and medicine. She uses "Water, We Thank You", alternative/complementary medicine, and natural medicine.

I didn't know anything back then. I am sorry about my attitude when I first ordered "Water, We Thank You". I wanted to apologize to Mr. Emoto and the staff at the company about that. I was truly happy to meet you at the TamaCenter. It was only for a moment but the timing was right and I was able to walk back to the station with you. That was unexpected. Did my thought take form?

It is a storm outside right now, thank you rain. I call out "Water, We Thank You" to the overflowing river and to the sea. I want to help in stopping the painful screaming of the earth. I am a visual artist so I am sure there's something I can do. Thank you for taking your time to read. I am looking forward to your movie. I am praying for the day that the mass will find consciousness for the world, the universe, and peace. Good luck in everything.

With the biggest hug


* Monday, Oct 4, 2004 Ever Mere Seminar in Kyoto

Mr. Iino, the president of a beauty product called Ever Mere, and I got along very well ever since we met for the first time. I believe he is about six years older than me but he looks a lot younger, and most of all, he gives me the feeling of peace and relief. Perhaps because of that, his company is doing very well. I was invited to a similar seminar three years ago as well. At that seminar, there were about 200 participants, but at this one there were well over 400. All the way from Hokkaido to Okinawa, there were many people with great Hado vibes.

The seminar was held at the biggest conference room in a five star hotel on top of Kyoto station. When I think about the food that was served and etcetera, I am sure the whole thing had cost a good amount, but as usual, Mr. Iino and his sons all have humble vibes.

In the economy that is not doing very well, why is this company growing so drastically? As Mr. Iino says, Ever Mere's Ever comes from Dr. Funai's idea of from Ego to Eva. He takes everything in that Eva way. He is planning to open a pretty big factory in Saitama around next October as well.

On top of that, he sees importance in the role of water when making cosmetic goods. The company is doing well ever since they have been using bio-energy water from a Mr. Sato in Nagano. A new company image must be of letting go of ego and leaving all its confidence to good water.


* Sunday, Oct 3, 2004 About Mr. Miyazaki

I was told about the death of Mr. Miyazaki ofJyuji-no-kanpo from my secretary when I arrived at the office on October 1st. "How could that be!" I was extremely surprised. I had just saw him about a month ago on August 29th at Nagoya Gas Hall.

Mr. Miyazaki was originally a pharmacist and a prominent practitioner of eastern medicine. He also was an expert in O-Ring testing. He had started working with numerous researches from when he was about thirty years old. I first met him about twelve years ago for an interview in his book, "Health on Chi-Energy II". Since then, I saw him at least once a year for one reason or another.

However, recently, we had more chances of seeing each other especially because he wanted advices for different issues from me. He had successfully finished the Conference of Consciousness and Vibration in June and was getting focused on the next year's event at Nagoya international exposition. We met in August to talk about that event.

He had a son named Kotaro who also is a acupuncturist. They used to walk all over Japan together. Now that I think about it, it was like he was teaching his son his knowledge before he passed away like this. I received a card last summer from them with a picture of a large camphor tree at a town in Saga. I was mysteriously drawn to that picture and took a crystal picture of the water that was shown that picture of the tree. That crystal is the complicated one that you see in "Message from Water Vol. 3".

I went to his funeral at the Kakuouzan's NittaijiTemple in Nagoya today. I found out that Mr. Miyazaki was only 52years old, much to young to pass away so fast. From what his son told me, he died from cerebral apoplexy. He was very much involved with spiritual healing. I have an experience as well, but spirits do exist. When one's immune system is not at its best, conducting the spiritual healing could be very dangerous. Please keep that in mind if any of you are counselors of sorts.

I send my deepest condolences. We lost a very special person.


* Saturday, Oct 2, 2004 Nagoya Be One Seminar

I arrived back at the Narita Airport at around 3pm yesterday. I hoped on a car that Yamada came to pick me up on and drove passed my house at Urayasu and arrived at the office in Yanagibashi. The whole team in the office got together at 5pm for an updating meeting. I had originally planned to go straight back home but when I thought about it, I will be in Nagoya on Saturday, Kyoto on Monday, Tama-shi on Tuesday so that I can only come to the office on Wednesday. Of course I was tired but I didn't have much of a choice.

Who could have set up such a congested schedule? Well, it could only have been myself, who have approved and encouraged such a schedule. I always regret it and tell myself that I will take things slower next time, but when invitations for seminars and such come in, I can't say no to them. I guess I never will get over wanting to do everything.

So, I was off to Nagoya for the Be One seminar with my wife today. My wife doesn't usually come with me to Nagoya but she came because of the Kyoto seminar that was scheduled for a couple days later. She is such a great support.

Be One Group is a group of hairdressers that use a special type of water to shampoo and massage during a haircut. The group has been growing and now has about 8000 shops under it's umbrella. (see last year's December 13th diary for more detail) I have been invited to over ten seminars for them all over Japan. For example, I just went to Okinawa, and I will be going to Sapporo next month as well. Almost all the technologies and strategies that I have put my confidence in and have been backing up have grown and are doing well as a company. Kyoto's Ever Mere, that I will be going to on Monday is another example of those.
