The
Passion of The Christ:
In A Blaze of Gory
The Movie
Mystic
| by Stephen Simon
This film, unlike most movies, makes it almost impossible not to respond in a very
personal way to its philosophy and that's one reason why I believe that it will be
looked upon as such a cultural milestone. Again, Gibson deserves much credit for
bringing all of this into the public arena for discussion.
All that being said, I must also say that the entire film seemed like the dying gasp
of an old ultra-religious paradigm that is rapidly fading into oblivion. |

Editor

Tim
Miejan
Walking headlong
into the sands of time, I come face to face with myself. Every time.
I tell myself, "We have to stop meeting like this."
Myself responds, "Yeah, right."
As if we can ever stop being who we are. |

by
Wes Hamilton | First of a seven-part series
I had an amazing
experience last year while I was on my journey to learn how to play golf. I met Dan
DeMuth, a golf professional, through a network of friends. When I was introduced
to him, I felt like I knew him. We chatted for a few minutes and I recalled the full-page
article that the Star Tribune did on this unique process of teaching people their
"natural golf skills."
Secret

| Last of a three-part series
The quality of our
actions and reactions depends upon our vision of life. A narrow vision is divisive.
A broad vision is expansive. But, the supreme vision is all-inclusive -- and the
higher the vision, the greater the mission.

uncontrolled spending. I feel as if I let all my money flow out -- although I have
plenty flowing in. The shopping binges seem to be as addictive for me as alcoholic
binges are for alcoholics. Is there an affirmation that can help me?

The 15th Step process
is a simple trance method that everyone can learn, that teaches the individual how
to vibrate the physical body to reach a place of healing and enlightenment that is
called the 15th Step. Once on the 15th Step, physical healing and balancing of the
body occurs and one receives teaching from guides and enlightened masters. |

How
Water reflects our Energy & Vibrational Frequency: The EDGE Interview with
Dr. Masaru Emoto
by Insiah Vawda
Beckman
Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto, chief of the Hado Institute in Tokyo, is author
of several books on the effect of energy that he calls Hado (pronounced "ha
dough"). He defines Hado as "a vibrational frequency generated by the electrons
orbiting the nucleus of an atom, the source of energy behind the creation of all
things."
From his research, Dr. Emoto concluded that, "all things lie within your own
consciousness." He believes that we should do our best to raise our Hado level
by doing things such as saying blessings over our food and water and not accumulating
negative feelings.
His groundbreaking research on the effect of human consciousness on water is illustrated
in his books. Water is a very malleable substance. Its physical shape easily adapts
to whatever environment is present, the energy or vibration of the environment will
change the molecular shape of the water. He freezes droplets of water and then examines
them under a dark field microscope that has photographic capabilities. The water
crystal illustrations in his book reflecting the different energy patterns of prayer
and sound are truly astounding. The crystalline structures of water from different
sources and conditions around the planet reflect different geometric designs and
crystalline patterns. Polluted and toxic water reflect distorted images, while water
from pristine mountain streams and springs show beautifully formed geometric designs
and patterns.
He answered a few questions in an interview with The EDGE.
Why did you specifically choose water to research?
Dr. Masaru Emoto: My work in alternative healing led me to research the nature
of water and its effect on healing people. Our physical bodies and our planet comprise
of over 70 percent of water. From my research I was convinced of the effect of Hado
(energy). I then found the water crystal technique to visibly prove my findings.
How much of your work has affected your life and the lives of people that you
have met along your journey?
Dr. Emoto: My work has changed my perception of Hado "energy" and it
has made a profound difference in my life from practicing the methods of my findings
in my life. This has also impacted on the lives of thousands of people by realizing
how our energy patterns not only affect our water, but also our environment. My work
will spread in many different ways, however. The true answer will be acknowledged
after several decades.
This means our thought patterns and frequency levels also have an effect on the overall
consciousness of the planet and the country we live in. The more we think love and
peace, then not only will we live in a pristine environment but also live in peace
and harmony, respecting all life on earth and beyond.
You write of "Messages from Water." Of all the messages, which message
had a most profound effect on you?
Dr. Emoto: A water crystal after showing the word: "Love and Gratitude"
I found this to be the most beautiful and it touched my heart immeasurably.
Of the countries that you have visited, which country has the best program for
its water quality and prides itself in having a clean environment?
Dr. Emoto: I should say Germany, Austria and Switzerland. These countries are
very aware of environmental issues and have special programs in place, which are
adhered to very seriously.
The water crystal illustrations in your book, before and after prayer, also reflect
the effect of electromagnetic energy from computers, cell phones, TV and microwave
ovens. Can you expand on this?
Dr. Emoto: In my new book, The Message from Water Vol. 3, I explain the effects
more in detail on this subject. I would like to develop the study of religious measure
in vibrational theory with visual proof in my work from now on. This, I am sure,
will facilitate the remarkable similarities of different religions, which all come
from the same source but are separated by structure and rituals.
Dr.
Emoto coming to the Twin Cities
WAYZATA, Minn. --
"The Hidden Messages in Water," a presentation by a Japanese scientist
and doctor of alternative medicine who has demonstrated the effect of words and vibrations
of consciousness on molecules of water, will come to the Twin Cities May 4-5, courtesy
of Twin Cities by AquaEssence ReSource (A.E.R.S.), a non-profit organization, and
sponsors Horst M. Rechelbacher, Spring Forest Qigong Foundations, The Continuum Center,
Pathways, Noetic Market Place, Eagle Trace Chiropractic, The EDGE and Powderhorn/Phillips
Cultural Wellness Center.
Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of the groundbreaking books Messages From Water Vol. 1,
2, and 3, which chronicle and explain his research methods and results, will speak
at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 4, at Wayzata Community Church in Wayzata. Advance tickets
are $25 through ticketweb.com or by calling toll-free 1 (866) 468-3401. Tickets will
be $33 at the door. Dr. Emoto's books will be available for purchase during a booksigning
immediately following his presentation.
A reception also will take place from from 5:30-9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 5, in Dr.
Emoto's honor at The Continuum Center and Gallery, 2538 Hennepin Ave. S., Minneapolis.
Dr. Emoto will sign books and mingle during an evening of great art, science and
coversation. Tickets are $20 ($15 for Continuum Center members). Reservations appreciated
but not required at (612) 374-4948 or e-mail info@continuumcenter.net
While in the Cities, Dr. Emoto also will attend a dialogue with
professors at the University of Minnesota Center for Spirituality
and Healing and will visit with fourth-grade students at Crossroads
Elementary, a science magnet school in St Paul.
Dr. Emoto travels the world sharing his message of HADO, which is "the intrinsic
vibrational pattern at the atomic level in all matter." During his 2004 U.S.
tour, Dr. Emoto will share his stunning water crystal photographs and discuss how
our thoughts and feelings affect physical reality. His reproducible research offers
a major shift in our understanding of water and demonstrates, scientifically, the
beneficial effects of prayer and sound. He provides compelling evidence that music,
prayer, thoughts and words affect the molecular structure of water. The human body
and the earth's surface are both comprised of approximately 70 percent water. More
than any substance, water seems to define humanity.
In 1994, Dr. Emoto and his colleagues at the MRA Research Institute began taking
photographs of frozen water crystals. These photos are taken inside a freezer that
is at a temperature of -5° C. Dr. Emoto's books illustrate how water quality
is reflected in its crystalline structure and how the nature of water can be affected
by exposure to pollution, words, music, photos, and prayer. When we reflect on how
our bodies are primarily made of water, the implications of Dr. Emoto's work are
staggering.
