Have you seen the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" Very intriguing... though I'm a little skeptical. www.whatthebleep.com
Check this out:
http://www.hado.net/water_crystals.html. "By producing different focused intentions through written and spoken words and music and literally presenting it to the same water samples, the water appears to "change its expression"." This is fascinating stuff but I wonder especially about the "colour." The idea is that if these words, thoughts, and music can affect water in this way and our bodies are made up of 75%ish water, what affect must words, thoughts, and music have on us?

http://paulsolomon.com/water.html "Water - the ace of elements. Water dives from the clouds without parachute, wings or safety net. Water runs over the steepest precipice and blinks not a lash. Water is buried and rises again; water walks on fire and fire gets the blisters. Stylishly composed in any situation - solid, gas or liquid - speaking in penetrating dialects understood by all things - animal, vegetable or mineral - water travels intrepidly through four dimensions, SUSTAINING (Kick a lettuce in the field and it will yell "Water!"), DESTROYING (The Dutch boy's finger remembered the view from Ararat) and CREATING (It has even been said that human beings were invented by water as a device for transporting itself from one place to another, but that's another story). Always in motion, ever-flowing (whether at steam rate or glacier speed), rhythmic, dynamic, ubiquitous, changing and working its changes, a mathematics turned wrong side out, a philosophy in reverse, the ongoing odyssey of water is virtually irresistible." -Tom Robbins, "Even Cowgirls get the Blues"

http://www.whatthebleep.com/dcstudy/http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention/John Hagelin, Ph.D. (www.hagelin.org) is a world-renowned quantum physicist, educator, author, and public policy expert. Dr. Hagelin has conducted pioneering research at CERN (the European Center for Particle Physics) and SLAC (the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) and is responsible for the development of a highly successful grand unified field theory based on the Superstring. In his book, Manual for a Perfect Government, Dr. Hagelin shows how, through educational programs that develop human consciousness, and through policies and programs that effectively harness the laws of nature, it is possible to solve acute social problems and enhance governmental effectiveness.
In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Dr. Hagelin was named winner of the prestigious Kilby Award, which recognizes scientists who have made "major contributions to society through their applied research in the fields of science and technology." The award recognized Dr. Hagelin as "a scientist in the tradition of Einstein, Jeans, Bohr and Eddington."
Dr. Hagelin holds an A.B. summa cum laude from Dartmouth College and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. He is currently Professor of Physics and Director of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy at Maharishi University of Management, and Minister of Science and Technology of the Global Country of World Peace. He was also the Natural Law Party presidential candidate in 2000.
Dispenza says: "So if we're consciously designing our destiny, and if we're consciously from a spiritual standpoint throwing in with the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life -- because reality equals life -- then I have this little pact that I have when I create my day. I say, 'I'm taking this time to create my day and I'm infecting the quantum field. Now if (it) is in fact the observer's watching me the whole time that I'm doing this and there is a spiritual aspect to myself, then show me a sign today that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way that I won't expect, so I'm as surprised at my ability to be able to experience these things. And make it so that I have no doubt that it's come from you,' and so I live my life, in a sense, all day long thinking about being a genius or thinking about being the glory and the power of God or thinking about being unconditional love."
Okay... So Dispenza here is referencing quantum physics/mechanics, and the idea that subatomic particles change their behaviour if they are being watched. "There is no reality in the absence of observation" (The Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics). There is also the idea that these subatomic particles (many of which are in constant motion) could be anywhere at anytime, and even in two places at once. But once observed, their behavior is altered.
I have got to talk to my dad more about this...
http://www.physics.utah.edu/people/faculty/detar.html Quotes.
The universe on a very basic level could be a vast web of particles which remain in contact with one another over distance, and in no time.
- R. Nadeau and M. Kafatos
All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force… We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
- Max Planck, Nobel Prize-winning Father of Quantum Theory
Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.
- Democritus of Abdera
(but atoms are made up of mostly empty space; even the nuclei are made up of space and particles that seem to disappear and reappear as if going in and out of existence.)
Reality is totally all about perspective. "You cannot see anything that you do not first contemplate as a reality." (Ramtha:

The movie talked about vision, saying that our brain cannot distinguish between what we see and what we remember. What we cannot fathom, it says, we cannot see, and the movie referenced Columbus's arrival to the Caribbean. The natives on the island could not see the ships because they had never seen these ships before... but a Shaman saw the ripples in the water and observed and observed until he could see the ships and convince the other natives that they existed. Interesting.
Don't worry, I'm not going all new agey on you. But this is some deep shit:) And I'm a big fan of water, love, and gratitude.
