The highest motive is to be like water: water is essential to all life, yet it does not demand a fee or proclaim its importance. Rather, it flows humbly to the lowest level, and in so doing it is much like Tao.... Nothing in the world is weaker or more yielding than water; yet nothing is its equal in wearing away the hard and the strong. There is nothing quite like it. Thus, the weak can overpower the strong; the flexible can overcome the rigid. The whole world can perceive this, but does not put it into practice. -- The Tao te Ching, sutras 8 and 78

The highest motive is to be like water: water is essential to all life,

yet it does not demand a fee or proclaim its importance.

Rather, it flows humbly to the lowest level, and in so doing it is much like Tao....

Nothing in the world is weaker or more yielding than water;

yet nothing is its equal in wearing away the hard and the strong.

There is nothing quite like it. Thus, the weak can overpower the strong;

the flexible can overcome the rigid. The whole world can perceive this,

but does not put it into practice. -- The Tao te Ching,

sutras 8 and 78

Water is telling us to take a much deeper look at ourselves.

We know that human life is directly connected to the quality of our water,

both within and all around us.

Human vibrational energy, thoughts, words, ideas, and music,

affect the molecular structure of water,

the very same water

that comprises over seventy percent of a mature human body

and covers the same amount of our planet.

Water is the very source of our life on this planet,

its quality and integrity are vitally important to all forms of life.

Quality of life is directly connected to the quality of water.

try to stop thinking and simply to be.

Let everything drop away and instead try to be totally

present

to what is reaching you through your senses

To be fully present; this is spirituality at it’s deepest.

Thomas Merton

These photographs show the incredible reflections of water,

as alive and highly responsive to every one of our emotions and thoughts.

It is quite clear that water easily takes on the vibrations

and energy of its environment,

whether toxic and polluted or naturally pristine.

We now have profound evidence that we can positively heal and

transform ourselves and our planet

by the thoughts we choose to think and

the ways in which we put those thoughts into action.

“What would make a difference

is the purity of intent of the

person doing the praying. The

water reflects the composite energy of what is being

sent to it…”

Think of it in terms of vibration. Spoken and written words have vibration

Anything in existence has vibrationWater can be imprinted with these vibrations

Beautiful words have beautiful clear vibrationsNegative words have ugly, incoherent vibrations

which do not form clustersLanguage is created by nature

Water in harmony with nature produces beautiful crystals

and waters that are polluted or exposedto certain discordant vibrations do

not produce beautiful crystals.

LOVE plus the Combination of thanks and appreciation reflected

in the word GRATITUDE. Love needs to be based in gratitude

and gratitude needs to be based in love.Water is the basis that not only supports

but also allows the existence of life.When you think of the word gratitude –

a combination of appreciation and thankfulness – there is an apologetic quality.

I believe that love coming from thisspace is optimal love,

and may even lead to an end to the wars and conflicts in the world.

Philosophical thoughts what water crystal really are?

These crystals are spirits. The Japanese character for spirit is a

combination of the words “rain” and “soul”

Is water conscious and reacting to the words?

I believe that prior to Adam and Eve water itself held the consciousness of God—

that God’s intention was put into the medium of water, and that this was used in the creation of Earth and Nature.

In other words, all of the information needed for God’s creation was reflected in the water.

Caretakers on earth: water became a vessel to

mirror and reflect what was in the heart. It became a container to carry energy and information.

Therefore, since this time, I think water has taken on the quality of simply reflecting

the energies and thoughts that it is exposed to; that it no longer has its own consciousness.

Water reflects the consciousness of the human race.

While you are practicing zazen, you may hear the rain dropping from the roof in the dark. Later, the wonderful mist will be coming through the big trees, and still later when people start to work, they will see the beautiful mountains. But some people will be annoyed if they hear the rain when they are laying in their beds in the morning, because they do not know that later they will the beautiful sun rising from the east. If our mind is concentrated on ourselves we will have this kind of worry. But if we accept ourselves as the embodiment of the truth…we will have no worry. We will think, “Now it is raining, but we don’t know what will happen in the next moment. By the time we go out it may be a beautiful day, or a storm day. Since we don’t know, let’s appreciate the sound of the rain now.” This kind of attitude is the right attitude…You will appreciate your surroundings, and you will appreciate yourself as a wonderful part of Buddha’s great activity, even in the midst of difficulties. (Suzuki, 117-118)
