I was just reading this other thread (Movie- What the Bleep do we know?) about the messages in water and was glad to see there was a discussion about this topic. I have read all about these messages in the water (years before 'what the bleep' came out) and have always been fascinated by these things. I personally am a believer of Emoto's discoveries. There's also a lot of hippie things I do such as energy healing which seems odd and unexplainable but hey it works. So ANYWAY! Now to my point!

If water is affected by emotions, electronic interference, and merely messages slapped on a water cup that has very positive or negative connotations attached to it, then we can surely try some interesting things with mushrooms.

If mushrooms are over 90% water, then it is very possible that we can try our own experiments with these simple messages. For example, on my jars, with a marker I wrote 3-5 positive words wrapped around the jar. Words such as love, god, relaxed, potent, strong, visions, and some more. I just wrote them randomly with the sense that, since the water is a very important part of the entire growing process, then maybe these words will positively affect the growth of the mushrooms.

For what it's worth, this is my 2nd time trying mushrooms. The 1st time I tried, in a week they were all contaminated. It's been about 6 days and 50% of the jars are colonized, it's all growing very quick.

Now, if I had the space to be able to grow many dozens of jars. I would try doing let's say.. 12 jars with positive words on it, 12 jars with negative words and 12 jars with nothing on them like usual. All with the same strain, same growing conditions, and trying to keep everything else as equal as possible. And why to do all of this? Well, maybe the mushrooms grown in the negative words will have more aborts? deformities? Maybe they will be statistically no different than anything else? Well, the point is, I don't know if anyone has tried, but I would. If it turns out that the negative jars all got contaminated for no reason or never fruited, or something really weird like that, then that would be very interesting, wouldn't it?

By the way, I have an article from the wall street journal (came out about 1-2 months ago, i'll try to find it and retype it here) mentioning a discovery in the science community about how water bonds could be rearranged in infinitely different patterns. The H20 molecules don't bond to each other in a structural way, adding fuel to the debate about the reality of all this "hippie shit" (as my brother would label it).

Anyway, I look forward to hearing all the comments.
