A Rastafari Guide to Ital Livity and Water Consciousness
Introduction
Rastafari livity is rooted in the recognition that everything is energy—vibration in motion. Our speech, actions, thoughts, and even intentions ripple through creation. Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto offered modern visual proof of this when he revealed how water responds to the energy of words, prayer, and emotion. His studies affirm what Rasta have reasoned for generations: water is a living witness. This guide explores how Emoto’s findings mirror and uplift Ital principles, helping the I elevate daily spiritual practice.
🔬 What Was Dr. Emoto Really Doing?
Dr. Masaru Emoto conducted experiments exploring how water responds to vibrational energy—especially from human emotions, words, and music.
His process:
- He collected samples of water from various sources.
- He exposed these water samples to different influences:
- Spoken or written words (like “love,” “hate,” “thank you”)
- Types of music (Mozart vs. heavy metal)
- Prayers or meditations
- After exposure, the water was frozen.
- Dr. Masaru Emoto used a dark-field microscope equipped with a high-speed camera to photograph the water crystals.
What he found:
- Positive stimuli (words like “love,” music like Mozart, or prayers) created beautiful, symmetrical crystals.
- Negative stimuli (words like “you disgust me,” or loud aggressive music) led to broken, chaotic crystal forms.
- Neglect or apathy often resulted in no crystal formation at all.
Dr. Emoto believed this was evidence that consciousness affects physical reality—that human emotion, intention, and speech can change the molecular structure of water.
Section 1: Water Is Life—It Feels, It Remembers
- Dr. Emoto’s water crystal experiments showed that kind words like “Love” and “Gratitude” create orderly, radiant forms in frozen water, while hateful words like “You Fool” lead to chaotic and broken patterns.
- Rasta see the body as a temple made of over 70% water. Ital reasoning holds that loving speech and meditation refine this internal river.
- Blessing the water, food, and self is an ancient sacred act.
Daily Affirmation: “Bless this water, cleanse I within, and carry I forward in the light of the Most High.”
Section 2: Word-Sound-Power—Speak Ital, Live Ital
- Emoto’s message: words shape matter. Rastafari echo this: “Word-sound is power.”
- Speaking upliftment organizes creation. Negative language invites confusion and imbalance.
- Ital livity upholds speech that edifies. Babylon talk, slander, and idle words are avoided.
Ital Practice: Before preparing any meal or drink, speak life into it. A Psalm, chant, or quiet intention makes all the difference.
Section 3: Ital Food—The Energy of Preparation
- Emoto showed that the emotional energy of the person handling water alters its vibration.
- Cooking in a state of peace, joy, and reverence is a sacred act in Ital livity.
- Sound, scent, and silence all matter in the kitchen. Nyabinghi drum, frankincense smoke, or silent gratitude uplifts the food.
Reminder: Ital is not just plant-based—it is purpose-based. Serve only what is prepared with love.
Section 4: Temple of the Most High—Nurturing the Inner Waters
- The I’s body is a vessel of sacred flow. What you eat, speak, and think enters your inner stream.
- Natural water—spring, coconut, or rain—is preferred in Ital livity. Chemicalized tap water carries Babylon residue.
- Drinking water is a ritual. Don’t rush. Hold it. Bless it. Sip with presence.
Morning Water Ritual:
- Hold the cup with both hands.
- Give thanks aloud.
- Sip slowly, aware that Jah lives in the water.
Section 5: Ancient Blessings—Charging the Waters of Life
- Emoto used intention and prayer to transform water; Rasta use chants, Psalms, and rituals.
- Water in a calabash or clay vessel becomes a spiritual tool. Bless it with fire (incense), breath (prayer), and heart (intention).
- Use this blessed water to anoint, cleanse, and nourish the sacred space.
Blessing Prayer:
“Oh Living Waters of Jah creation, receive this vibration of purity and strength. Flow through I with healing and harmony.”
Water & Word: A Comparison of Emoto and Ital Livity
| Emoto’s Crystal Finding | Rasta Ital Teaching |
|---|---|
| “Love” → Radiant crystal | Speak “Love and Unity” when preparing food/drink |
| “You Fool” → Broken crystal | Avoid Babylon curses; use affirmations and Psalms |
| Classical music → Structured pattern | Use Nyabinghi drum, roots reggae, or silence |
| Prayer → Clear, luminous crystal | Bless water and food before partaking |
| Neglect → No crystal formation | Cooking in anger or haste breaks spiritual balance |
Conclusion: Vibration is the First Law
What Emoto captured with a microscope, Rastafari have always seen with the spiritual eye. Water hears. Water feels. Water remembers. By living Ital—clean in word, pure in thought, and conscious in action—we tune ourselves to the Divine rhythm.
Let I & I be vessels of living vibration. Speak peace. Drink consciously. Reason with reverence.
Ever Living, Ever Loving, Ever Sure—Blessed Love.
