Rice Experiment Week 2 (Why Cooked Rice?)

This week, a friend asked why I used cooked rice? (As opposed to dry, uncooked rice.) My answer was, “water”.

“Water”

According to Masaru Emoto, in his book “The Hidden Messages in Water”, water holds information. He figured out a way to freeze water at just the right temperature so it would form ice crystals on the surface of the water sample. He then figured out how to photograph the ice crystals. (More complicated than it sounds.)

Emoto took samples from a variety of sources of water to see if the different qualities of water would form different crystals. Turned out they did. Samples from chlorine-treated water wouldn’t form full crystals at all. Whereas water from natural sources, like underground rivers, springs, glaciers, etc all formed a variety of fully formed crystals.

Emoto’s colleague then came up with the idea to see if music had an effect on water. Sure enough, it did. Heavy metal music only allowed for broken crystals to form, while Mozart and Bach formed full, beautifully detailed crystals.

They took it a step further to see if words effected the water/crystals and opened up a whole world of mind blowing possibilities (to put it in my own words).

So, therefore, I’m using cooked rice as my experiment’s medium (rather than dry, uncooked rice) because of the water in the cooked rice and it’s ability to hold and reflect the energy, or information, of the words and feelings directed at it. I’m using cooked rice (rather than just jars of water) so we have something to absorb the water/energy and hopefully give us a visual of the effects of it. (Cuz the photographing crystals idea was already taken 😉 I imagine I could’ve used plants instead of rice, or animals, or people, but rice seemed most harmless and with the fewest variables. 😉

Also, according to Emoto’s book, Love & Gratitude formed the most complete, delicate and symmetrical crystals of any he recorded. Hate, Satan, ‘You Fool’ in contrast we’re the most anti-crystal forming words he reported in his book. The ignored water didn’t fare to well either. Thus the basis of my choice of words for this rice experiment.

Not much change from the first week of daily intensions. Now we begin week 2.
