Week 7 - Fractals

It would be interesting to live in a society that took this idea more seriously. What if we were all highly trained in meditation and felt the responsibility to choose our thoughts carefully, knowing that these thoughts would eventually bring about great change in the universe?

I often think of Dr. Masaru Emoto's Messages from Water. His studies support the theory that our thoughts can affect physical events and that the affect can be somewhat predicted as either positive or negative or destructive or constructive. Dr. Emoto's work has come under much criticism from Western Scientist and that, to me, seems counter productive. If fractal patterns and choas theory show that there are unpredictable patterned connections between all things then why would they think Dr. Emoto to be totally wacky? Supposedly there has been never a duplicate snowflake created in the world. How do they know this? Have they looked at every single snowflake to ever fall? No, so why do we believe in this and not Dr. Emoto? Perhaps the theory about snowflakes came about because scientist couldn't explain why no two snowflakes looked the same and so to "order this chaos" it was declared that no two snowflakes are alike. Perhaps, we are looking too closely at the finer details. What is the pattern that the snow is making on a larger scale?
