There is a big island in the Mediterranean Sea called Majorca about one and half hours away from Barcelona. Majorca is famous for winter quarters, summer vacation place among European, especially German. I came here for my writing work and spending time with my daughter’s family for one week. I’ll report this one-week journal mainly with pictures.

First, this is my second grandson who just turned to one last June. As you see in the picture below, he is not scared of water and can stay in the pool for a long time by himself.

His older brother who turned four this year also likes playing in water and never comes out of water once he jumps in water.

He is a waiter at a restaurant of the resort hotel that we stayed at.

As you may know, this is paella, Spanish local dish. This rice dish is truly favorable for Japanese.

I went to a cape on the edge of the island. Italy might be over this cape.

There was stained glass. Looking closely at it, I found its design was based on hexagon.

Grandfather was completely healed by lovely grandsons and gained energy enough to continue another mission trip tomorrow. Thank you all.

After Zaragoza, I actually came to Majorca Island, about one and half hours from Barcelona, on half work and half vacation. Although I have to leave for the United States on August 2nd, I am spending a good time with my daughter’s family living in Holland. One day, three people from NPO organization called Sophia came to see me.

This organization group has been publishing quarterly journals below over nine years and organizing a variety of cultural programs like exhibit and study group not only in the island but also in Spain.

The reason why they came to see me was that they’d like to organize a water crystal photographs exhibition in Majorca, Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid.
I said yes to them as long as it would be a program to promote EMOTO project. I will come here next March again to have a seminar. It’ll be a good pre-PR for the Water Exposition.

I received an email from Ms. Azusa Kifuji (on my left side in the picture below) who was an interpreter and personal assistant during this trip to Gerona, Zaragoza. I’d like to share this message from her since it shows her casual personality and the content was fun.

Azusa Kifuji
The ceremony for water was held in Cerler located in foot of the Pyrenees Mountains in northern Spain in good weather, which made me feel like “what should we do having such a great weather?” This ceremony is held on July 25th each year chosen based on the Mayan calendar and organized by Dr. Emoto in somewhere in the world. This is what happened this year. “A gondola in Venice rollover. SOS. Need help!” Then….”How about two waterfalls at Pyrenees?” This way, Venice was cancelled and upriver district of Ebro river in Spain was chosen instead. People from every corner of the country and the United States got together heading for Cerler village to participate the ceremony.

What I notice every time I attend an assembly relating ecology is that people who like and wear Gucci’s purse or Channel’s clothes don’t participate in such a group. Most of them like to go to a store that nature preference type of people goes frequently or a store having import goods from India or some other similar countries. Naturally they prefer natural foods and like yoga at a quiet place rather than a club. There was also a group of people who are big on Japanese martial art spirit with renewed vigor in their uniform. You can also see this type of people when you attend a group studying Japanese martial arts.

After Dr. Emoto’s opening speech, about one hundred of participants headed for the waterfall on Ebro river where will be the venue for the ceremony. Contrary to our expectations, we could not see the waterfall surging down since it was backed up. But it looked like that we might be able to see it if we climb up the little hill.
Then old and young started climbing up the steep cliff one after another, although the organizer never said, “let’s climb up!” A woman who is a bit chubby and wears a Indian thin negligee was also climbing up and that made me feel like “I’d just stay here”, so I returned on my way. After all, they decided to have the ceremony at the riverside on the bottom of the cliff. Then they put messages from all over the world into water from the river and chanted Kotodama (spirit of word) ten times. This Kotodama had a sound that reminds me of Manyo (Myriad leaves) world and I had a sacred feeling just by chanting. After that, we returned the water that we prayed for back to the river and the ceremony ended smoothly.

Sending our benedict to the cosmos and receiving some good signs in the Ebro river seem to be higher rate than winning lottery. After few days of the ceremony, I started drinking water that had been read a message because I wanted to try to improve not only water in river and ocean but also water within my own body by myself. Although I won’t tell you what kind of message I chose, I am expecting to see the outstanding effects and might ask you to call me “Marilyn Kifuji!” Looking forward to it!?　

I also received a message below from Jean whose house was used for meeting with the movie director, Luna. I’d like to share this with you. Jean also attended the ceremony on July 25th and his message includes the story about the ceremony.

Following is the message from Jean:

Cerler
Message of Water-July 2007
Prior to the celebration of Love and Gratitude to water, up in Cerler mountain (already the day before) and during (and parallel to) the celebration, we have activated some sacred sites related to water, as well as the place where the celebration was performed and the waterfall. As I briefly told you during our get-together in our house in Caldes de Montbui on July 23rd, the vibration of the Cosmic Force of Divine Love has been descending on earth for the past four years and recently this vibration increased considerably, impregnating all earth matter. This is the first time that this primal Divine Energy penetrates this planet for its transformation towards higher Consciousness and the Divine Life announced and prepared by Sri Aurobindo.

Sri Aurobindo describes in depth in his “Life Divine” the transformation that Earth will undergo under increasing pressure of what he called “Supramental Force”, the “Truth-Consciousness”, “Supermind” or simply the “Divine Consciousness”.

For the past 4 years we have been co-operating with this divine plan, in opening connections with the center of the earth and networking the activated centers I will summarize the effects of these concentrations of Cosmic Force of Divine Love on such sacred places.

*The strong vibration, which manifests vertically downwards to the center of the earth expands itself horizontally according to the model of an eight-pointed star, each branch vibrating to a frequency decreasing with the distance. These distances are considerable since they follow the vibrations emitted in the center, which are in constant expansion. Ultimately, the eight-pointed star spreads over thousands of kilometers.

*The width of each branch of the star measures now (July 2007) over 100kms at the origin. The center from where the vibration spreads has always an octagonal shape.

*Many places have been prepared to receive the Force; some of them many thousands years ago. They always manifest the octagon. This is true in all religions, cultures and civilizations all over the planet.

*These places might be located on the golden lines or channels of the earth or at the confluence of telluric radiations, underground waters or geological faults. They were known by the Initiates of the past who marked their existence for the times we are living presently.

On the 25th of July, 5 centers were activated with the Cosmic Force of Divine Love between Benasque and Cerler:
●The confluence of the rivers Esera and
●Cerler’s old stone church
●The first meeting place near the hotel Edelweiss
●The site of celebration in the mountain.
●The large waterfall.

The vibrations reached the following levels, (in millions of Bovis units): 734 for the first site, 1,434 for the two following sites and the vibration of the collective invocation and communication of Love and Gratitude to water as well as the waterfall reaches 1.73 billions units, expressed in this dowsing scale, which is the measurement we normally us for water and leylines assessment.
Today this is the highest vibration on earth.

This vibration will be matched in the coming days by some other places on the planet and surpassed in a few weeks, as this has been the case in the past years.

We have observed, as always in similar cases when centers has been activated at such high vibrations, that they emit powerful radiations (like curtains of energy) in eight directions, which propagate the vibration of the Cosmic Force of Divine Love over considerable distances.

In this case, it was the first time that 5 eight-pointed starts were generated so close and furthermore having all a strong connection to WATER.

THEY ALL FORM A GIGANTIC eight-pointed star with astonishing cumulative effects:
-Spreading over thousands of kms.
-A 450 km diameter central octagon.
-Each branch has a width of 220 km at the origin, vibrating at 1066 M uB.
-The west branch is very compact and covers completely the Camino de Santiago.
When it reaches Santiago it sill vibrates at 734 millions Bovis units and measures 120 kilometers.
-As usual, a crossing of gold and silver channels manifest at the point of concentration. Concomitantly, the magnetic network of nickel (Hardman) and iron (Curry) have disappeared in a radius of more than a kilometer at each of the concentration points. This suppression of magnetic negativity has a very beneficial effect on the torrent water from the waterfall, which rose to 720.000 Bovis units: the healing vibration, the highest vibration so far in water.
-Several persons have experienced healing effect, bathing in the torrent.
-A few sensitive and clairvoyant people have seen and/or felt water elementals at the cascade: undines and nymphs. The adjacent picture of a capital in Batalha Portugal teaches us that in the near future the three reigns of nature: angels, humans and elementals will work together in the construction of the New World of the Divine Manifestation on earth on all levels and on all planes.

This has been indeed an important day for the planet and for the Land of Spain.

While I was still in the afterglow of the seminar last night, we headed for Cerler, a town located in foot of the Pyrenees Mountains, from Zaragoza. I have to say good-bye to Ms. Suzuki who gave great simultaneous translation last time and who worked for me for the first time. She has been in Spain for more than thirty years and her interpretation was well seasoned. I’m glad to know her. Also she is a good friend of Azusa on her left in the picture. I’m hoping we could work together as “team Emoto” from now on.

Two hours of driving from Zaragoza to Cerler was mountain driving just like the picture below.

There was an interesting incident at a café in the mountain, where we stopped by for a bathroom break.
When we were about to leave after having some tea saying “gracias”, I saw a newspaper on the counter. I thought “maybe…” and turned it over. It was the “Herald” newspaper that I saw at the hotel this morning. I was very surprised that I encountered the newspaper that published an article about me in such a rural mountain town. I playfully told the owner couple that I was in that newspaper. First they didn’t understand what I was talking about. Then they compared my picture in the paper and me in person and looked happy after recognizing me like “oh… yeah…”
I also gave them my homepage address and told them to see it. I wonder if I could explain them properly…

We arrived the town for the ceremony, Cerler. I heard that this town became the super best ski resort town in winter. But now it’s summer and not too many tourists are staying here. One of the hotels, “Edelweiss”, was the meeting place for participants. To my surprise, there were about hundred of people came although it was far away and there was a short notice of change of the venue.

I first thanked them for their participation and explained about the purpose of this Love and Gratitude project, the result of the ceremony at Lake Biwa, the meaning of the great affirmation and about Master Shioya.
Also I explained my point of view on why there has been a delay in water research.

There was a man who wore a t-shirt that he made design and gave one for me too. The design was pretty good. (God is “DIOS” and 2 is “DOS” in Spanish. As I always say in my seminar, water is messenger from God as H2O stands for.)
The woman is Kathleen from Austin, Texas.

Judging the time to be right for everyone, I went to the origin of the River Ibro, a basin of the waterfall, where the ceremony will be held.
As you see in the picture below, two rivers merge into one and it flows down the stream and then becomes River Ibro. It finally goes into the Mediterranean Sea.
The ceremony was supposed to be held in the space on this dam at first, but my legs’ condition became bad and we decided to have the ceremony in the space below of the dam.

We decided to have the ceremony in a little space on the left side of the stream.

The leader led us for a dance.

Carlos introduced pictures sent by email from all over the world and read the messages.

Then those pictures and messages were soaked in the water from the stream. Water that they brought here was also added to there.

Then we held our hands and started chanting saying “thank you, water.”

Thank you, water. I love you, water. I respect you, water.
Then I asked people to chant the great affirmation ten times in Japanese.
Lastly, we clapped our hands for the sky above, for the ground, and for ourselves.
While I was chanting the great affirmation, I was wondering how Master Shioya whom I respect is doing. He would be 105 years old if he were fine…. The tear rolled from my eyes naturally.

This way the fifth Love and Gratitude ceremony for water in the world ended in peace. I’m thinking to have this ceremony at the venue of the exposition during the Zaragoza exposition next year 2008. We will have fun events also hoping many people from all over the world will participate with us. Don’t miss it!

To my surprise, there are some people who wear a uniform of Aikido (art of weaponless self-defense) among the hundred of participants. The man in the center is the leader, Carmelo. He actually visited me at hotel yesterday and gave me a great book as a gift.

Mr. Carmelo Ríos visited me at hotel. He brought me one great book that covers ascetic practices of mountain priest, training under the waterfall, Dewa Sanzan (a popular pilgrimage site visited by many) including Mt. Haguro. I was surprised that he was a disciple of Master Aoki, who is the master of Shintaido, meaning “new body way”, a body movement art emerged from a research on martial arts and contemporary visual and performing arts.

The reason why I am here in Zaragoza now is as following:
The international love and gratitude ceremony for water this year was originally planned in Venice, Italy, but it was cancelled due to local collaborators’ schedule. When we asked Carlos if we could have the ceremony somewhere in Spain instead. Then they chose a place called Cerler, one and half hours away from Zaragoza, and prepared for the ceremony.

I guess they chose this place because there will be water exposition in Zaragoza next year and they thought our ceremony would lead us to it somehow. And that already happened.

First, we arrived at a hotel in Zaragoza late last night after three hours driving from Barcelona. I was already scheduled for an interview this morning by a local newspaper. I responded to their interview with my whole heart as the interviewer from a local newspaper publisher in the town where the water exposition will be held next year. And they published article about the interview using the whole last page on the next morning issue.

The newspaper on the next day.

We visited a famous cathedral in town this afternoon.

The interpreter, Azusa, recommended us to come here since this is definitely worth seeing. I think she was totally right.

The seminar will be held in the place chairs lined up in front and there’re 200 of chairs there. I heard that this seminar was hosted by the organization committee of the Zaragoza exposition. I felt “ok. I’ll fill up this place with people.”

La parte delantera, dónde se ven algunas sillas, era el espacio asignado para mi seminario. Estaban colocadas unas 200 sillas. Al parecer el seminario estaba patrocinado por el Comité Organizador de la Expo Zaragoza. Al saber esto yo dije a mi mismo “Bueno, ¡voy a asumir el reto de que se llene completamente este lugar!”

When I returned to the venue from dinner, I found a long line of people who were waiting. It was still only 9 p.m.

This is quite a surprising even though the admission is free. I could count more than 200 easily. When I asked a staff how many people could get in because I was worried, the staff said that about 350 in total since there’s a monitor room. I felt relief to hear that.

Guests finally started coming in around 10 p.m. However, it looks like there’re more than 350 people and many could not get in.

My seminar started at 10:30 p.m., thirty minutes later than scheduled time. I saw people who were trying to see the seminar over the fence in the distance since they could not get inside. A staff told me later that 700 to 1000 people came to the seminar tonight. It was 11:45 when my seminar finished. Thank goodness. I felt that I definitely have to come here for the exposition next year by all means.

“Where is the next venue after Nagoya Expo?” “What is the theme?”-I wouldn’t have been able to answer to these questions if I had been asked three days ago.

It was on 19th, when I came to Barcelona, Spain from Bulgaria that I knew the answer was a town called Zaragoza and the theme was “water”. What is wrong with me?! I never knew such an important thing while I go all over the world as a water instructor.

However, Carlos, only one Hado instructor in Spain, has already organized this for me on the spot.
Today I left Gerona at nine and went to the head office of Cosmo Cailla, a big trust and banking company in Spain, in Barcelona. I had an appointment with a person in charge to have a meeting since this company is planning to make a presentation of pavilion at the Expo and my water crystal photographs were chosen as their candidate.
The elevator that we got on after a strict security check stopped before it went to our floor. However, Spaniards in the same elevator looked imperturbable as if it was nothing to them. It looks like electric outage happens often around here.

The meeting ended briefly in half an hour. Although they only have less than one year till the session, it looked like they have not decided specific plans for the Expo. However, as a Japanese, I had to ask them if I could submit several plans in advance. I need to start working on this project ahead of time since this will be a big project that we will use four big screens in the pavilion. If this is officially approved, it will be a very challenging and worthwhile work. I have to work hard…

After visiting to Cosmo Cailla, we headed for a house in Barcelona suburb to meet a movie director, Mr. Bigas Luna, who is said that he’s one of the top five directors in Spain.
The house is Mr. Jean Fransois’s, a friend of Carlos. Mr. Fransois is an acquaintance of Luna and this is why this place was chosen for my interview.
As you see in the picture below, Mr. Bigas has a genial look on his face and I immediately found something congenial.

 

Mr. Jean Fransois is also a water expert and spends most of the year in Oroville in India. Oroville is famous as an ideal town plan based on water and I’ve been invited to this town several times in the past. It seems that visiting to this town would realize soon because of this interview.

Jean’s house is located on a hill and has a great view. Our conversation was recorded by Director Luna in his video throughout the interview.
From what I’ve heard, he interviewed with me since he’s planning some event in Valencia in next September

To my surprise, the interpreter that I asked for this interview have known Director Luna for about 5~6 years. Thanks to this, we had a very smooth communication.

Director Luna is three years younger than me and was a great listener. I talked pretty fearlessly with him and now I’m nervous and excited to see how this interview will be used in Valencia next year.

Today I will show you some pictures that my wife took in Gerona. I’m sure these pictures will give you an idea of how old the history of this town is.

A local famous violinist played music for my birthday at a bethel located on the first floor in Rosa Maria’s house starting from eight.

I was very touched by this hospitality since I also played violin when I was a kid. And of course he played beautiful tunes on the violin in the bethel.

There is no wonder, since the violin he played was that famous “Stradivarius”. I saw it for the first time and was deeply moved.

People from a publish company came for the party.

Forty local people attended to this party held at an architect school next to the church.

Birthday cake1: ‘Love and Gratitude’ in Spanish on it.

When I blew out candles on another cake, everyone celebrated with their warm applause.

I started singing to express my appreciation, as always.

Immediately people joined me. This is why I love these people so much.

It’s already passed midnight. We took the last commemorative picture.

They now found my wife and another picture with her.
Well…it turned out to be such unexpected party and I really feel I am a lucky guy.
Everyone who joined this party and Mother Rosa Maria…thank you very much.
