Thank you Dr. Emoto - not for this though.

After I stopped laughing hysterically, I decided I absolutely had to repost this from Pharyngula.

A way for us to help heal the Gulf
Yesterday we received a letter from Dr. Masaru Emoto, who many of you will recognize as the scientist from Japan who has done research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research reveals that water physically responds to emotions.

Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr. Emoto himself has proposed.

"I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures . . . I am sorry. Please forgive us. Thank you. I love you. "

We are passing this request to people who we believe might be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.

We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily ... multiple times daily ... can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening. We don't have to know how, we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today.

Please join us in often repeating this healing prayer of Dr. Emoto's. And feel free to copy and send it around the planet. Let's take charge, and do our own clean up!

I do thank Masaru Emoto. It was after watching "What the bleep do we know?", particularly Emoto's claims to do with the impacts of emotion on water crystals, that I was pushed to do my first skeptically driven research. Of course, I quickly discovered what a bunch of bunk the claims were and how pathetic that entire movie is.

So, in a way, Emoto is responsible for launching the skepticism within me. Thanks "Doctor!"

Anyway, I hope you, too, had a good chuckle at the 'clean the water with good energy' nonsense.
