Peregrine 12's Reviews > The Miracle of Water

I view this book as containing two parts: the first part, and the most fascinating, is the actual crystal formation - their pictures and the stimuli that (allegedly) brought them into being; the second part was Mr. Emoto's stance that water carries vibrations of the universe and that we, as creators of these vibrations, have a responsibility to be conscious of our choices, words, and actions.

I liked this book, and found its message to be generally agreeable, but there are a couple points of contention that I would like to mention. For one thing, Mr Emoto never actually explains how he got his crystalline formations. I would think that, in a text like this one, the author would both describe his techniques and encourage others to follow them. But he doesn't, and that leaves me wondering if there's some secret step to achieving the results that Emoto has.

The second point of contention is the liberty with which Mr Emoto treats the second half of his book. Once the crystal formation is established - and it is impressive to view, make no mistake - then he begins his explanation of what he thinks this all means. From this point on, his writings are conjecture. I want to agree with what he has written, but I just can't ignore the feeling that he's sort of 'making this up as he goes along.'

So, while I very much appreciate the images presented in this book, I would have liked to know more about the science and procedures and a bit less about the author's conjectures.
