On October 5th 2005, Dr. Masaru Emoto addressed an audience of nearly 300 people in Big Bear.  His work demonstrates the consciousness and amazing properties of water through beautiful crystal images of water frozen under various harmonious vs. discordant conditions.  During his presentation, Dr. Emoto announced that Big Bear was being considered as the location for a future US laboratory.  Dr. Emoto and Bennie LeBeau were friends and colleagues, joining together in prayer and ceremony on several occasions.
