Dr. Emoto has been bought to prominence in our world since

his 1999 publication Messages from Water
Dr. Emoto froze water, then looked at the crystals of frozen
water through a microscope and then took photographs of
them, as to show the molecules and how their shapes were
unique

Perhaps this relates to Einsteins thoughts

when he said thoughts have frequency and
that we are frequency generators

The Results
What does it mean?
Introduction
Water Memory
Dr. Emoto

Everything is combination of energetic vibration? As vibration

resonates, it makes some tangible objects?
Combination of non-resonating vibration can result in
destructive energy?
Human consciousness has an effect on the molecular
structure of water?

In 2006, Emoto published a paper together with Dean

Radin and others in the journal Explore: The Journal of
Science and Healing. They describe that in a double blind test
approximately 2000 people in Tokyo could increase the
aesthetic appeal of water stored in a room in California,
compared to water in another room, solely through their
positive intentions.

Effect on Plants?
Does talking to plants help them grow?

The theory that plants benefit from human conversation dates

to 1848, when German professor Gustav Fechner published
the book Nanna (Soul-life of Plants).
Using 14 pieces of classical music, scientists were astonished
to discover the noise triggered a response in two genes, rbcS
and Ald.
Wind or vibration will induce changes in plant growth. Since
sound is essentially vibration

Effect on Plants?
If it is vibration could our thoughts also affect them?

The notion that plants are capable of feeling emotions was

first recorded in 1848, when Dr. Gustav Theodor Fechner, a
German experimental psychologist, suggested that plants are
capable of emotions and that one could promote healthy
growth with talk, attention, and affection.
Indian scientist Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose began to conduct
experiments on plants in the year 1900. He found that every
plant and every part of a plant appeared to have a
sensitive nervous system and responded to shock by a spasm
just as an animal muscle does. He also claimed that plants
can "feel pain, understand affection etc.," from the analysis of
the nature of variation of the cell membrane potential of plants
under different circumstances. According to him, a plant
treated with care and affection gives out a different vibration
compared to a plant subjected to torture.

Conclusion
What do you ask, does this have to do with permaculture?

1. Permaculture is the conscious design of systems.

Perhaps that consciousness carries more weight than
we originally anticipated.
2. It is the integration of the landscape with people. If
frequencies can be exchanged so easily how does this
affect our relationship with the land?
3. It addresses the way we live on this planet. If our
thoughts can affect the molecular structure of water
what else can they affect?

What: a branch of physics dealing with physical phenomena at

microscopic scales, where the action is on the order of the Planck
constant
University of London Physcist Bohm adds that we view objects
such as subatomic particles as separate from one another
because we are seeing only a portion of their reality. Such
particles are not separate "parts", but facets of a deeper and
more underlying unity that is ultimately as holographic and
indivisible as the previously mentioned rose
Subjects are interrelated without and force acting on them or any
communication between them. Matter (objects) relies on an
observing consciousness to activate potential. Nuteonianism
- Objects become connected through "forces", are "naturally"
separate ... matter is primary level of reality.

To understand this experiment we first need to see how

particles or little balls of matter act. If we shoot a small object
say a marble at the screen we see a pattern on the back wall
where they went through the slit and hit.

The waves hit the slit radiating out hitting the back wall with the
most intense directly in line with the slit. The line of brightness
on the back screen shows that intensity. This is similar to the
line the particles made.

But the quantum world is far more mysterious than they could have
imagined. When they observed the electron went back to behaving
like the particle. It produced a pattern of 2 bands. Not an
interference pattern of many.
Conclusion: The very act of measuring or peaking which slit it
went through meant it only went through one not both. The
electron decided to act differently as though it was aware it
was being watched.
