Direct experience
Not inference, not heresay, not imagination (which is important).
How can we know anything without direct experience?
The Experiments
Masuro Emoto believes that since people are 70 percent water, and the Earth is 70 percent water, we can heal our planet and ourselves by consciously expressing love and good will. He says that to try out his theory you can try this experiment:
Place cooked rice in two identical glass containers. Put one cup of rice in one jar and another cup in a separate jar. Talk to the rice every day for one month at the same time each day. Say "thank you" to one jar and say, "you fool" to the other jar.
This experiment is based on a picture of Emoto's work summarized in his book "Messages in Water."
In his experiment (pictured above), Emoto found that the rice that was told "thank you" was nearly fermented and had a nice, mellow, malted-rice aroma.
The other bowl of rice that was told, "you fool," turned black, became rotten and smelled disgusting.
