Hidden Messages in Water?


Japanese author Masaru Emoto started his research about water crystals by freezing water to see if it would form crystals like snowflakes do. He froze water for 3 hours and photographed the results with his microscope. He also discovered that different sources of water gave different water crystals.

The amazing thing, according to his research, is that the water crystals changed into even more beautiful water crystals if music was played to the water before freezing it.
As water is a living thing it can store information and this encoded information transforms the structure of the crystals.

Mr Masaru takes it even further and has different experiments where water transforms into beautiful crystals when nice words, chanting or smooth music is played in front of it and transforms into ugly deformed crystals if negative words or music is recited to it.

Further developing his theory he also suggest that water, which is imprinted with positive energy, can be used as an effective medicine. He uses  "Hado" water, hado is a Japanese word meaning very subtle vibration that can not be perceived, in alternative medicine and would have cured already some 10.000 patients with his innovative method.

As much as Mr Masaru has been praised by common people for his research on water crystals, as much has he been criticised for insufficient scientific proof. He is depicted as pseudo-scientific by many professors.

Several of his "Messages from water" books have turned into bestsellers and about 2 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide.



There are many interesting video's on the web about those water crystals and Mr Masaru, just check it out. I was very surprised by one video showing the effect water has on the growing process of rice, seen in the video down here.

Does Superman come from Korea?


We all have been indoctrinated that Superman is a comic hero developed by American writer Jerry Siegel. And it is also clear that superman is coming from the planet Krypton. His parents send him as an infant to earth, just before the destruction of his home planet. And on earth he grew up, got himself the nickname Clark Kent en saved the planet from several catastrophes and malicious evil plans.


But what if the creation of superman was based on an old Korean sign?


We all know the South-Korean flag, called Taegeukgi. In the flag we find in the middle, the ancient Yin-Yang sign. Not as we usually know it in black and white, but in red and blue.
Yin and Yang symbolise in the old Chinese philosophy all the opposites in the world like: negative and positive, woman and man, moon and sun, ...
And so in the Korean flag blue is Yin and red is Yang.


Next to the Yin Yang sign you will find 4 trigrams taken from the Yi Ching, which is the very old Chinese Book of Changes. This book was and still is used for divination practises.
Upper row from left to right are the trigrams for heaven and moon. While the two lower ones from left to right are sun and earth.
Interesting flag isn't it!



Another sign seen very often in Korea, especially on historical buildings is the Sam-Taegeukgi.
So we still find the round Yin Yang shape but no duality between 2 colours, here a third colour is present. As seen above, here blue represent Yin and so represents Heaven. Red was seen for Yang en represent Earth.

The new colour is yellow, which stands for the middle and Humanity. Even in ancient China the Yellow emperor was the only one allowed to wear yellow as he was the connection between heaven and earth. 


So in this Korean sign it is clear that the duality between Heaven and Earth, Negative and Positive, and all other dualities in the world effects humans. But as the yellow colour also spins around equaly as red and blue it can influence Heaven and Earth as well. All three are connected and influence each other.


So going back to superman. When we inspect his attire these three colours are coming back. His cape and boots are red, his suit is mostly blue and his belt is yellow. The Superman logo is a yellow and red sign on a blue background, normally visible on our hero's chest.  Superman forms the human connection (yellow) between heaven (blue), his former planet Krypton, and earth (red), where he is Clark Kent and changes in Superman to kick some serious butt in name of goodness. Would it be pure coincidence that blue, red and yellow were used to depict superman?

Thai Red Bull


Red bull must be one of the most popular drinks worldwide. But few people know that Red Bull actually comes from Thailand. The Thai name for this energy drink is "Krating Daeng" where "Krating" means bull and "Daeng" means red.
Nowadays you find Krating Daeng in sold in cans or in small bottles, resembling medicine flasks. It is used mainly by drivers and labour force to keep awake and work long hours.
When you enter a Thai convenience store, you would find a separate fridge with all kinds of brown bottles, energy drinks, with such names as Lipo, Shark, M-150 and Carabao.

The drink was developed in the '70 in Thailand and it was the Austrian businessman Dietrich Mateschitz who commercialised the drink worldwide. It is said he visited Thailand in 1982 and drank a Krating Daeng to recover from his jet lag. He adapted the formula and worked with Thai partner Chaleo Yoovidhya to launch it in Europe. Red Bull was founded in 1987 and it was a huge success, Chaleo Yoovidhya would be the richest person in Thailand now!

Krating Daeng differs from Red Bull as it is thicker, bubble free, contains more caffeine and is much cheaper (10 baht).
