A) Wikipedia is not considered a credible source by most people in serious discussion. Not saying the information is bad, just that it would be more credible from the original source.

B) If what Emoto was trying to prove was that water molecules can be influenced by human thought and emotion, then it seems to me that the creativity of the photographer would be absolutely key.

C) Water crystals are ice. I have some problems with the Emoto studies mostly because a lot of the pictures look like crystals, which are ice. Freezing the water to get shapes would seem to skew the result, I think. I would like to point out that Emoto not being a credible scientist running sound studies does not discount the LOA or his results. Credible scientists running sound studies would have to be what does that. Can anyone cite the studies refuting Emoto's work?

D) It is my understanding that Quantam physics is part of the scientific field. It is also my understanding that they are proving every day more and more through quantam physics that the smallest units of matter are influenced by human thought. The broad extrapolation to be taken from this is that we influence our environment. To say that there is 'no' science behind the LOA is uninformed. It might be more accurate to say, "I am not impressed by the science behind the law of attraction theory." One assumes that anyone making this statement has valid, researched reasons for making it and would be willing to share both the reasons and the research.

E) For those who do not believe that we influence our environment through our thoughts and feelings, check out space conditioning.

F) ...and The Maharishi Effect

G) Lastly, but not leastly, for those of you who do not believe in the Law of Attraction and don't think it is real...how is that working out for you? I assume you are in top physical condition with the mate of your dreams, a six figure bank balance, are checking the board from your vacation home on Maui and you have such a sense of general well-being and good will towards your fellow man that other people just love to be near you. If that is not the case, then you might want to slow down and give the LOA a chance. I am not a poster child for the LOA...yet. But I have only been studying it for five weeks and my life is demonstrably better. Is that because I have cheered up? Maybe. But WHATEVER it is, I like it and I am sticking to it. I have had things happen that I feel like support the theory of the LOA. Other people may look and see happy coincidences. If that works for them, great. If thinking that being happy and holding on to my desires works for me, great.

(For those who DO believe, think about this: Is there a possibility that spending so much time and effort trying to PROVE that we are right might actually detract from our vibration? Maybe it is better to just tell the people that don't believe, "OK, whatever works for you." and move on?? This is a legit question. I am getting a degree of flak in my daily life due to my new beliefs.)
