Today we left Trinity for Sun Valley. It took two hours to drive from Trinity to Sun Valley. We saw mountains covered with green plants all through the way. There were several beautiful mountains still covered with snow, too.

We left the cottage at about two and arrived at Sun Valley Inn a little past four. We were invited to a party held at Mr. Sokolov’s house. Mr. Sokolov is a person who introduced Dr. Emoto at the seminar, and he also invited Darai Rama to Sun Valley in September this year. He is a big fan of “The Hidden Messages in Water”, and always gives a copy to everyone who comes to his house. He specially planned today’s party for Dr. Emoto.

Mr. Sokolov and Dr. and Ms. Emoto

I had heard that Mr. Sokolov’s house is very big before I got a look at his real house with my own eyes. Yet when I arrived at his compound, I really was surprised. It was like a small village. There were many buildings in the compound and I didn’t tell where the gate was. I held my breath when I entered his house and saw the interior, especially the big fireplace. You can see the large garden from the terrace. An artificial river flows across the garden. There is a small waterfall over there, too.

Mr. Sokolov looks busy at his work and he has another house in Florida, so he is not always at this great house in San Valley. If I were he, I would like to be here all through the year. Am I a stingy person? How about you?

I made friends with some people through the journey in Idaho. I enjoyed interesting conversation and nice meal with them. Dr. Emoto will be able to meet them in San Valley when Darai Rama comes in September.

Sun Valley Seminar finished Friday, so yesterday and today we enjoyed holidays after a long time. Jonathan, staff of a water company Trinity invited us to the cottage near the source of Trinity’s water. Jonathan and we have been friends since we met in Idaho where we had a seminar then.

I heard Trinity was named in relation to three founders and three sources. (The word “trinity” means “three”, you know.) This water’s most outstanding feature is that it comes out from 2.2mile underground, which is the deepest known now in the world. In addition, the water spends sixteen thousand years underground, warmed up there all the while, and finally comes out as hot spring of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Out of three sources, one flows into a river in its natural form. People living there and tourists often plays in the river mixed with hot spring.

Source 1: Hot Spring Flowing into a River

The second source is right near the factory where they bottle the water for drinking. This is the only water sold for drinking in America that can be bottled without any artificial process.

Source 2: Hot Spring for Drinking

It means that the water is so pure. And the third source comes out from the bottom of the swimming pool in front of our cottage. So it is a large hot spring rather than a swimming pool. One side is deeper than our body height, and there used to be a diving platform. As to the temperature of the hot spring, it feels comfortable early in the morning or at night when you feel a little cold, so you may feel you could be in it for hours and hours.

Source 3: Swimming Pool of Hot Spring

Dr. and Mrs. Emoto didn’t get into the swimming pool at first, saying that they didn’t have bathing suits. But after it got dark they borrowed bathing suits and soaked themselves. We spent out weekend free and easy with the friends of Idaho and Sun Valley. Dr. Emoto calls them Trinity friends.

Everybody felt at home. We had curry and rice cooked by Kazuko for lunch yesterday. The Trinity friends were very glad eating to be full. Other meal was served by Ann, the manager of the cottage. She certainly a good cook.!

I relaxed and soothed my fatigue for the first time since the seminar tour in America began. Soaking himself in holy water of sixteen thousand old, Dr. Emoto will be filled up with energy again.

Below is a message from Dr. Emoto sent to the staffs of IHM referring to the United Nation’s seminar on May 26. It was originally exclusive for the staff and persons concerned, but the contents, we suppose, are very neatly summarized and will serve as useful reference for you readers. So we decided to show you the message with Dr. Emoto’s permission.
(from IHM Staff)

＊＊＊＊＊

Thank you for coming all the way to encourage me and sending beautiful flowers and hearty message cards. I got the message cards after the seminar, but the flowers were set just in front of my seat. So while I was speaking, I sometimes gave a glance at them and remember you all. The flowers looked much more beautiful after the seminar, I suppose.

Flowers from IHM staff

Now, how and why I give the lecture for the UN this time is well known to you through Mr. Nemoto. But I wasn’t able to understand for sure the real meaning of invitation from the UN till I arrived at the seminar room that day. I felt I must not be over exhilarated expecting much from the UN.

But when I heard the news that the room for my seminar was suddenly changed into a much larger room, and when I entered the room and sit on the seat that had been ready with a nameplate “MASARU EMOTO”, I said to myself “Yes, this is it, the UN, really.” And all of a sudden I felt real and got somewhat nervous pleasantly.

I encouraged myself then. I appealed with considerable spirit to the audience of about 150 through an interpreter for 40 minutes. Below is the contents of the seminar.

1. the present state and forecast of the greenhouse effect.
2. Human being and Gaia, the earth, is one same thing. What will happen if nothing changes.
3. The exploding population increase, especially of this 100 years, is the cause.
4. A large amount of energy was used. Energy is vibration, and vibration emits heat: thus, greenhouse effect is a matter of course.
5. The population will increase by 5 billion in 100 years. Showing a forecast chart made by the UN.
6. The influence has already appeared. Showing pictures of an Island in South Pacific and melting icebergs.
7. Nothing changed, the same thing as the Mu Continent or Atlantis will become of us.
8. These are why we should change the method of producing energy. Not from the fire but from the water.
9. In such time, “Messages from Water” enter the stage and diffused quickly around the world, interestingly, through women, symbol of water.
10. How to take pictures of water crystals.
11. We couldn’t succeed in taking pictures at first, experienced a lot of hardship, but once a picture was taken, it went smoothly. Showing the pictures of water crystals.
12. 11-year observation told us that the crystals are designs for vibration of energy.
13. In the meantime I came to understand what vibration is.
14. The principle of vibration has relation mainly to resonance. Explaining this using a tuning fork.
15. It is water that conveys vibration of energy.
16. Therefore, the pictures of water crystals can be new method of observing energy.
17. The evidence: about music. Showing a picture of water crystal exposed with playing of Beethoven’s Symphony No.9.
18. The evidence: about words. Showing pictures of water crystals shown the words “Thank you” or “You fool” in Japanese, English, Germany, French.
19. The evidence: prayers. Showing videos and pictures of children praying for water.
20. The water shown words “Love Thanks” made the most beautiful crystal.
21. These two words might give us a hint of how to produce energy from water.
22. Suppose active energy is “love”, and passive energy is “thanks”.
23. H2O, water’s chemical formula, means one love and two thanks. When humanity understands this, we will get free energy from water.
24. The true meaning of Einstein’s formula on energy.
25. E = (the numbers of persons) x (Consciousness squared). Therefore, The higher our consciousness is, the more energy we can get.
26. Explaining that our consciousness is only 3/100 point in this moment.
27. If this point reach 100, 60 trillion people can live on this earth, like our body has 60 trillion cells.
28. The best way to take our consciousness higher is to make “Messages from Water” child version and to give to children of all around the world for free. We will do that through"International Water for Life Foundation" ,which we founded in sympathy with the UN’s The Internationla Decade for Action “Water for Life”. I hope to develop this foundation into an NPO authorized by the UN and request your understanding and help.

This lecture was over with standing ovation. I suppose I was able to gain sympathy of them. This seminar was organized by an NGO, so this directly leads to some movement of the UN. But I think it has made the first step to realize my ideas. And that means it has put me and IHM to the right direction, I believe.

Let’s produce good and beautiful books for children. Of course books on water. And let’s publish them all over the world. Give the books to children all over the world for free in the next 10 years.

Now we have a simple goal. “Hado of Love Thanks for Water Project” or “the IHM Project”.

Let’s start this project on November 16, 2005.

Masaru Emoto from Sun Valley, Idaho, America

So the United Nation’s seminar is finally over and we woke up at four in the morning again to fly from New York to Sun Valley, Idaho this time. Sun Valley is a famous ski resort.

Sun Valley is a resort enclosed by the mountain.

The most famous residents in this small town seemed to be the actor, Bruce Willis, and his ex-wife, Demi Moore. They had bought a house in Sun Valley when they were still married but after the divorce, Demi took the house. However, since Bruce wanted to live near his children, he bought a house next to his old one for five times as much as the market price. We took a detour to peak at the houses of these celebrities but since it was surrounded by woods, we were not able to see much.

So, at the Sun Valley seminar, Dr. Emoto was introduced by Mr. Sokoloff, a man that had invited Dr. Emoto back to Sun Valley in September to meet Dalai Lama.

At the seminar, Dr. Emoto did not show any fatigue even after the series of early mornings as he shared how it was at the United Nations the day before.

“Imagine: Water for Peace Concert” was held on September 17 last year at UN headquarter by a group of Husui, but it was a kind of entertainment for UN staff. This time, however, Dr. Emoto was officially invited by UN’s official committee, so the seminar is more significant.

・about the seminar…http://www.aquaac.org/seminar/

IHM staff, Impression staff and Oak Japan staff who support us, Mr. and Mrs. Yamaguchi, who took part in Hado-School, Campbell Kyoko and Mr. Susan, interpreter Chieko Bond, Hiromasa Emoto and his wife of Hado Publishing USA, Tsuneko Narukage, editor of Monthly Hado entered UN building earlier and enjoyed a tour around the UN building guided by Hiromi Niwa from 10 in the morning..

Ms. Niwa is an official tour guide. She once interpreted our Website from Japanese into English as a volunteer. She accepted the role of tour guide pleasantly.

She explained about UN’s role and its present state with displays. We visited some conference halls. This day UN Security Council was held, so we can’t enter the hall, but we managed to enter the famous hall where UN General Assembly is held.

The hall where UNGA is held.

After the one-hour tour, we ate lunch at a buffet-style restaurant named Delegates Dining Room on the fourth floor of the UN building. It has a fine view of the East River. Six jet fighters were flying in formation at a low altitude. I heard later that May 31, the last Monday of May, is Memorial Day. During the preceding several days make consecutive holidays, military themed events are hold.

Dr. and Mrs. Emoto, Akihiro Otake, and Ayano Furuya arrived at La Guardia Airport in NY, which is for domestic flight service only, from Oklahoma, where Dr. Emoto held a seminar the day before, by way of Chicago, at twelve ten. There they joined Kumiko Ichise and Chieko Bond.

They went through the security checks at the airport smoothly, and didn’t get caught in a traffic j

with Dr. and Mrs. Emoto near the entrance of the UN building

We entered the conference hall a little behind schedule because the distribution of security passes were delayed.

We heard that the seminar was to be held at Conference Room 8, but right before the seminar, it was changed for Room 1, which was the largest in the rooms on the first basement.

Below is the brief overview of the seminar.

I supposed that Ida Urso, the organizer of this seminar, is a male person, but when I saw Ida in person, I found Ida is a very elegant lady. She is a representative of Aquarian Age Community.

The seminar began with a sound of the Tibetan bell. People there meditated quietly, and then the flute was played.

First, Ida talked about how and why this seminar was planned. She quoted Albert Einstein saying that a problem can't be solved in the same state of consciousness that created it. It left a deep impression on me. This means we should heighten our consciousness and solve problems in a spiritual dimension. So Dr. Emoto’s philosophy and water crystal pictures are called for, which can appeal to the heart of people, by the UN.

Next, Anwarul K. Chowdhury, UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative gave the first Keynote Talk. His work is to listen to politically-inarticulate developing countries and bring their feelings or ideas to UN.

He said that People feel anxiety in the face of the unknown, but the unknown is never a threat to us. But it is difference that bring forth energy, the source of creation. I just agree with him.

Then, Dr. Emoto’s turn has come. He attracted the audience, sometimes making a joke as usual.

Dr. Emoto with tuning forks

“The Messages from Water” Debut in UN	The Water Crystal Picture of “Love Thanks”

The Audience	A lot of people has come.

I felt that around the resonance experiment, Dr. Emoto’s passion began to penetrate through the heart of people.

Some people let out a voice of excitement seeing the film “The Messages from Water”, which shows water crystals growing in motion. An experiment of prayer by a family was put on the screen, too. The expression and comments of a child with pure heart can transgress languages or borders.

Dr. Emoto said that he wants to give children all over the world “The Messages from Water” for free and he needs aid or assistance. Then his forty-minute lecture was finished.

After that, the organizer asked the audience three questions. They made small groups and had a discussion on the subjects. Then question-and-answer sessions were held.

Below are summaries of Dr. Emoto’s Qs and As.
Q: How Love and Thanks help people in the developing countries?
A: I’d like to show children water crystal pictures. Then they’ll understand the power of words.
Q: What the education in the developing country should be like?
A: I went to India March this year, where I talked to poor children. They got excited and understood the meaning of water crystal pictures. The advanced countries should work in concert to bring children of developing countries water crystal pictures.
Q: What can the UN do?
A: (In a half-joking but half-serious tone) They can invite me to give a lecture many times.
Q: What do you think the role of art is?
A: Music is vibration itself. It has great power of healing. Some day music CD will be sold at drugstores.

Just before the end of the session, the subject was moved away from water crystal pictures, so I raise my hand and remarked “Taking water crystal pictures is an innovative method that can represent something invisible. How about distributing simple catalogs that carry pictures of crystals of water that was exposed to the words ‘Thank You’ and ‘You Fool’ and explanation in UN’s official six languages to children all over the world. It can be put into execution immediately.

Please give your cooperation on the realization of this plan.” I tried to emphasize Dr. Emoto ‘s intention, and they agreed with me.

Lastly, representative of the World Peace Prayer Society gave a closing speech. She passionately said that she was very impressed by Dr. Emoto’s lecture.

At the end of this program, Dr. Emoto, organizers, and lecturers were applauded by standing ovation.

After this program, I had a chance to talk with Debora directly. She suggested that the catalogue s of water crystal pictures that are to be distributed to children have the prayer“May peace prevail on earth” on it. I thought it was great.

We left the UN building for Japanese restaurant Naniwa and have a party there. Dr. Emoto received message cards from IHM staff.

The beer hits the spot!	Dr. Emoto giving a speech.

This is how we spent the night of May 26, the memorial day for IHM and water crystal pictures.

Dr. and Mrs. Emoto and Ayano Furuya went to the hotel of JFK Airport by taxi. We saw them off. They continue the America tour for about two weeks.

I’d like to thank everybody who came to the UN and who transmitted vibration of love and thanks from home to Dr. Emoto.

I really appreciate Campbell Kyoko and Hiromi Niwa’s great assistance. Thank you.


ＩＨＭ Yasuyuki Nemoto

Today is a traveling day as well as a seminar day. Luckily, Oklahoma City and Kansas City was not too far away so the travel time was not too bad but since Dr. and Mrs. Emoto will be on the road for the total of three months, it’s inevitable that their bags get big. Especially because he tends to receive gifts from different people along the different part of his travel.

Oklahoma is famous in the buffalo.

The seminar started at 7pm inside a hall of a children’s science museum. What we always do before the seminar is the AV check at the venue. Is the microphone working ok? Where would we be standing? How is the lighting? What about the projector and the computer? We finished checking everything about an hour before the beginning of the seminar and moved on to a reception. Then we came back to the hall to start the seminar at about 5 of 7.

And then a big trouble! What was projected on the big screen in front of the audience was only the two third of the right part of the computer screen. We had no idea why this happened so we had no idea how to fix this problem until at 7:15, we came up with an emergency measure. We reduced the size of the whole computer screen which made all the images that was projected more rough but still visible. Dr. Emoto and I were both rushing around and nervous until the very end.

The computer was tentatively reconciled, too.

Since I was worried about the computer, especially because we have the United Nations speech the next day, I was not able to concentrate on what Dr. Emoto was saying and I had to ask him to repeat himself a several times.

Actually, Dr. Emoto was not concentrated enough because of the trouble with the computer during the seminar as well. “Today’s seminar went really badly. I feel sorry to the people that came to hear me,” he was saying.

Luckily, we were able to end the seminar with a standing ovation but as soon as we returned to the hotel, we called the office in Japan for a SOS. We tried playing with the computer in all different ways while we were on the phone and finally fixed it somehow.

We all were able to relax in the end. Hopefully, the United Nation seminar will go well tomorrow. We will have to wake up at 4 in the morning to be able to make the 3pm seminar in New York. This will be the series of waking up early, travel, and seminar days but we hope we can live through them.

IHM Ayano Furuya

Usually, when we do not have to travel that day, we usually have a seminar scheduled that evening or night and we try not to put anything scheduled in the morning. However, that does not mean that we can relax for that morning.

Of course, there are days when traveling and seminar are worked in a single day. In those days, we may edit the presentation on the plane sometimes.

However, there was another thing we had to do in the morning today. It was to sign the 300 books of Dr. Emoto’s new book, “The True Power of Water”. Some organizers will leave some boxes of books for Dr. Emoto to sign if he has some time.

Dr. Emoto always tries to accommodate as much of the request as possible when in comes to signing. So of course, he signed the 300 hundred books all throughout the morning. With the signature, we always stamp the words, “love and thanks” in the inside cover of the book. The stamping and stacking up the books are the job of Mrs. Emoto and mine. The signing becomes possible with the team work of the three of us.

This is the masses of books. It kept affixing a stamp.

The seminar was scheduled to start at 7:30 but at the meeting right before the seminar, Dr. Emoto decided to switch over the main translator to myself instead. I was to translate in front of 1100 people. I survived through 400 people but I wasn’t sure about 1100 people, at a very large and well equipped venue.

Hall of 1100 people

At this seminar, Dr. Emoto’s friend, Silver Star, came to give us some strength as well.

So, how did the seminar itself go? Well, I was a little nervous in the beginning but since I had to give all my attention and concentration to each word that Dr. Emoto was saying, I had no real time to worry about the audience. As a result, I think Dr. Emoto was able to have fun at this seminar and was able to send the message of love and thanks to many people.

[We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.]

This is a quote from the Declaration of Independence. The movement for the independence started here in Philadelphia, about 40 min. plane ride from New York. Many people don’t know that Philadelphia once was the capital of this country.

Philadelphia is an important place for Thomas Jefferson (the third president of the United States) and also for 13 virtues’ Benjamin Franklin. Without these two men, there may not have been an independence of the United States. There are Franklin’s museum, memorial of the independence, and other such buildings that reminds us that Philadelphia was where the movement started. This city must have meant something special for Dr. Emoto as well.

The beautiful historic building was a city hall.	The seminar was conducted in Thomas Jefferson University

The seminar today was organized by a yoga group called Yoga Research Society. There was a workshop by Dr. Puratap who is the representative of this group in the morning. And in the afternoon, the seminar for Dr. Emoto was conducted. The venue that seated 350 became full and there were people standing at the back as well.

The seminar went on very smoothly with the help from Keijirou Yamaguchi as a translator. I often feel this but when the translator is the right person, then Dr. Emoto gets further into his talk and the audience gets pulled in to his talk as well. The translator is one of the most important factor in deciding whether the seminar goes well or not.

At the end of the seminar, Dr. Emoto called out, “I would like to provide this sticker of Benjamin Franklin’s 13 virtues to Philadelphia’s schools and other public establishments so if anybody is interested, please come up.” Of course, many people came up. Unfortunately, there was not enough for everybody that expressed their interest but I think once this sticker and this idea spreads through the country a change may occur. As Dr. Emoto says, “without peace in the United States, there will be no peace in the world.”

At the seminar. The audience is all concentrated on Dr. Emoto on the stage.	A round of applause that fills the whole place.

After the seminar, Dr. Puratap took us to a bookstore called Garland of Letters Bookstore. The bookstore specialized in spiritual and new age type of genres. Of course, there was a corner for all water crystal related books.

The owner of the bookstore, Candis is a student of yoga for 30 years and was the very person that introduced the water crystal book to Cynthia of Beyond Words. So, Candis was the very person that brought the bestselling book, The Hidden Messages in Water to the United States.

Her and her staff were all very excited and happy to see Dr. Emoto visit their bookstore and signed their books on the shelf.

So, this will be the last entry of the diary that I will be writing. I hope you were able to get some of the feel of Dr. Emoto’s seminar tour. Thank you very much.
