https://youtu.be/KN3PBFxV3Xw its a link to water documentary but im I keep seeing a spiritual side to my idea an want to see it expand water goes well with all religions ive asked so far how would you guys feel about a water church i mean it's not realy about God its about water but i may have to mention his name every now and then to not upset some pepole
Are you going to wear a robe and a funny hat?
Yes a big one
A water hat? I have designed a nice design, basically a goldfish bowl duct taped on top of my noggin. That way the Essence of Sunshine passes through the Wonderfulness of Water, to strike my head and instill Sunny Water Karma on my bald spot.
I say Grace now i pray to my food say nice things about it and it tastes better i dont have to thank God i talk to the water thats in the food and the vibrations do the work
Re: "I say Grace now i pray to my food say nice things about it and it tastes better..."
Personally, I just use a little salt and maybe some vegetable seasoning. I suppose your way would definitely be cheaper, though.
@ TM
Nah, forget the salt dude, just a little dehydrated woo, and some granular extract of woo woo will really do the trick...oh and some dessicated prayer sprinkles..mmmmmmmm top it off with hydrolised vegemite and there ya go. A meal fit for the bin!
@Tin-man I suppose your way would definitely be cheaper, though.
Only if your time's worth nothing. Unlike water, time is not a renewable resource. We should all be saying positive words to our time to create a crystalline vibrational flow along our temporal vortex before we go down the eternal plughole.
Time is an illusuon. There is counless videos of pepole claming they attracted money with the power of thought. Time is money and money is time .pepole pray for Money kill for it betray for it. Money is evil . Money is not real it has no intrinsic value and was made out of nothing . So while the world believes you can not make something out of nothing bankers do it all the time and loan it to banks which loan it to you . You cant pay back everything because debt is money and money is debt also without debt there would be no money . When i got to a bank i use a time machine to take out money. They want to steal your time away make you slaves for the money. Water has more value then money water is real . Everyone needs water to survive and you can survive without money. https://youtu.be/1gKX9TWRyfs watch first 5 - 10 mins understand how money works .
@Modais Re: Money
Dag-nabbit, Modias! Ya know, in your own way, you actually make sense at times. I have to admit, water could definitely be considered more valuable than money.
@Modais: i pray to my food say nice things about it and it tastes better
Food has no sensory organs or nervous system, especially after it's been cooked. Any perceived flavor improvement is entirely in your head.
If you seriously believe this twaddle, there's an easy way to test your theory. Prepare several identical meals. Pray to one of them. Then ask another person to sample them all and guess which one you prayed to. Do the same experiment without praying to any of the food. You should not be present when the subjects try the food.
I dare you.
I have not tried with cooked food so far with fresh ingredients like an Apple worked my mum could tell the difference . Ok good example go to maccas burgers should all be the same depending on who made it can change the whole burger if they were happy you get a happier looking burger if they having a bad day you get a shit burger . Ever hear of cooking with love its or not enough love in the kitchen its a saying for a reason
@ Mondias
A shit burger? Have you called the Health Department? That's much worse than spitting on your salad...but if it is only a turd of the price BARGAIN!
;=} see what I did there...
In an underdeveloped country, don't drink the water; in a developed country, don't breathe the air. Also your last comment was a bit shallow . Hope this dosent rain on you parade . I was just going with the flow .That was the best dammed water pun in this whole thing . Oh i fish these comments would never end . I think we have soaked up all the wet words now . Im sure that's got you all puddled up. I didnt mean to put a dampener on things .

"you get a shit burger"
I have to admit that does not sound very appealing.
"Ever hear of cooking with love"
I'm pretty sure that's intended as a metaphor. And again, I really do not want to know what you're putting in your food.
Just ate homemade chicken tikka masala, it was fine yesterday when I made it. So tonight I cursed the shit out of it, thought bad thoughts about it, and aimed every vituperation I could think of at it, it still tasted damn fine.
My wife however thinks I've gone completely gaga.
Left overs always taste better the next day

@Sheldon
Aw, c'mon, man. Go with the flow. No need to cry a river of tears over this. Sometimes you just have to let folks go with whatever floats their boats. Oh, and try not to let rainy day people bring you down.
@ Modais
Are you aware of the placebo effect?
A beneficial effect, produced by a placebo drug or treatment, that cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient's belief in that treatment.
This is a well researched subject, and proven valid. Basically, if you believe that the food will taste better, in your mind, it does.
I suggest you perform a controlled experiment to determine if your food tastes better. Do it multiple times, the more you do,the more valid the data. Have someone prepare two identical dishes, one with magic water/plants, and the other untreated. You must not be aware which dish is what. Taste each dish, and record your impressions. If you can come back with valid data from multiple tests, then I will consider accepting your claim.
Ok so even if it is a placebo effect it still makes me feel better my health and peace of mind improve .and if you belived in water as I do you could do all sorts of things. I am not the first person to make these claims i have tried to reproduce other peoples experiments and I have tried to take a few ideas and put them together to something that fits in my head i am still currently trying a few things with water as we speack i will let you know of results . Its the thought that counts conscious thought to be exact if i consciously think of something i create energy . With enough energy i can change the world around me as in me the observer and my reality can change hence the placebo. Also it makes experiments with food hard to do becuase I live alone and when i do have visitors they eat what i serve and wouldnt know the difference . I make tea and coffee here for visitors and family and friends they all prefer my coffee or tea even tho its the same ingredients i must stir it differently to them . Even when i go to mums house i have to make her coffee because she can't make it as good as me . The only thing that changes from her coffee to mine is the structure of the water . She measures her sugar and coffee on scales so its exact every time i use the same scales when at her place. I have done thought experiments with apples and had good results more home experiment for myself to see what would happen . Thought is powerful and the mind is amazing put it to water and great things happen . Ok so i have been learning about water for ages ive done my own experiments and i belive myself your asking me to try experiments ive shown you examples of heaps of experiments i am no scientist im just a stoner who is open to new ideas and am willing to try it . How about you try labeling your bottled water with positive words and see the results it worked for me made me feel better . But if you dont belive how would you affect the water . This is where I mentioned religion because its a faith thing if you dont have faith it wont work . So if you try it knowing its a placebo affect it wont work because you already doubted it before you started
Ok so i will label my bottled water with a positive word and try it for a week and let you know if I feel any differently. This kind of reminds me of how Stephen king remembers his dreams so he could write about them . So he would drink half a glass of water before bed saying to himself that he would remember his dreams . Then in the morning he would drink the other half and say it again .

I would sever water with no poison i promise
@Modais Re: "I would sever water with no poison i promise"
Well, that's good to know, at least. So, what flavor Kool-Aid have YOU been drinking?
Hey, Modais, if you don't mind, please allow me the honor and privilege of presenting you with your very own theme song. You are an okay dude in my book. *grin*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUjhbeiJddo
You know i haven't heard that one before i have a lot of songs like it but never heard that one thanks ill add it to my collection
@Modais Re: Song
Say WHAAAAAT???? How have you never heard that song? It's been around for years. Dude, I love that freakin' song. Cracks me up every time I hear it. Glad I was able to find one you can add to your collection.
Not any Kool-aid although I did have something else when i came up with this

Well that is 200 years of chemistry in the toilet.
-------------------------------------
Well I remember people believing that nonsense. Seem some people still do.
-------------------------------------
Well I guess if you are so credulous to believe that water has memory, then saying water is a fuel isn't much crazier.
-------------------------------------
So is everything else.
Google it i can tell you the answer of what Google will say... Water memory is the purported ability of water to retain a memory of substances previously dissolved in it even after an arbitrary number of serial dilutions. ... Water memory defies conventional scientific understanding of physical chemistry knowledge and is not accepted by the scientific community. It is not accepted becuase they can't explain it and it goes against all thier laws and science
Water memory is total bullshit. It does go against science because it is just quackery.
