Field of Feelings: How Our Thoughts Can Be Infectious Too

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” —Albert Einstein

Not just once or twice, but in numerous conversations all of us have experienced another person finishing our sentence in the exact same words we were thinking of. Or someone suggesting the same idea that popped in our minds as well. So does that mean we are commonly surrounded by mind readers, or is there another, slightly more convincing explanation to this phenomena?

Let’s start from the start, in this case “cells.”

According to developmental biology of the early 20th century, a group of cells are able to respond to discrete, localized biochemical signals, giving rise to the development of specific morphological structures or organs.

In simple words a cell, without any contact, but through signaling, is able to sense the malfunction of another cell, and quickly acts to replace it with a functional one. This interaction is called the Morphogenetic field.

An example of the Morphogenetic field is the story that originated the “hundredth monkey phenomenon,” which was observed in the 1950s on a Japanese island.

A group of behavioral scientists observed that monkeys of this island would wash their potatoes before they ate them. This habit was likely developed by one of the monkeys by chance and gradually was copied by others after realizing perhaps that the washed potatoes tasted better than the unwashed ones.

Eventually there were 100 monkeys on the island eating potatoes in this manner. Shortly after, the same behavior seemed to have started on another island but not in the same way. In this island all the monkeys began to wash their potatoes around the same time but not one by one, almost as if the monkeys from the first island told them about it, although there had been no contact between the two groups. This just shows how our thoughts produce vibrations that travel and influence our surrounding environment and maybe, even beyond it.

Even though the existence of this field is considered to be pseudoscience by the general scientific community, there is no denying that the same was thought about many phenomena in the past. Continental drift, dark matter, the heliocentric solar system, Einstein’s theory of relativity, etc., were all at one point rejected as “pseudoscience” by the general scientific community that claimed science could not explain them.

A Snapshot of Emotion

In 1999, Dr. Masaru Emoto, after his extraordinary work of a lifetime on water, published his book “The Hidden Messages in Water,” a New York Times bestseller.

In this book, he demonstrated how water crystals responded to the vibrational fields from its surroundings, resulting in different shapes.

His official site documents many of these experiments in photographs here.

Water exposed to “love and gratitude” manifested intricate, symmetrical patterns.

“I can do it” resulted in solid hexagonal shapes beginning to manifest. “I can’t do it” resulted in what looks like a broken fragment.

Courtesy, reverence, happiness, and other positive feelings created snowflake-like patterns. Various prayers manifested the most intricate of the recorded crystals.

Emoto, long fascinated by water, was convinced that water originated outside of earth, and was more magical than it appeared, containing more than we realized.

Effect of Music on Water

Now who doesn’t have a list of their favorite songs that’s uplifting for them or memorable in ways nothing else can compare?

All of us have different thoughts on different kinds of music. Some of us enjoy all kinds of genres while some are more loyal to a particular one. But many times just the right song can set things right for us. Ever wonder why?

Emoto conducted the same experiment, but this time in a musical setting and the results were recorded in the various images seen here.

Now, what are the chances of us being impacted by our surroundings the same way these experiments show water can be? Not to mention that up to 60 percent of our bodies is water, with our brain and heart composed of 73 percent water.

One of the many paradoxes in life is that the same people that excel and succeed in everything they put their minds to can also be the same ones to deny that their will-power and thoughts can form a field around them, driving them towards their goals and dreams. A field originating from cells to our surroundings can change and transform our journeys in life, and in return transforms ourselves.
