Words and Thought are Energy

So we did this for one of our  Family Home Evenings. 

   

So here are our Jars  The Happy Jar, the  Sad  or Hate jar, and The Good words bad tone of voice. 

Here is what they look like  almost a month later

The happy jar  still has  big rice particles its hardly broken down at all  the water is clear and it has a sweet smell to it. 

Here is the  Yell or use a angry tone with happy words jar. The  water is more  yellowed and the rice is not as complete  some of it is very mushy and it smells a bit. 

Here is our Hate or sad jar.  CAN I JUST SAY IT SMELLS LIKE  PUKE!!!  Very yucky smell comes from the jar.  It started to  ooze and turn brown and black  there are no rice fragments it is all mushy from top to bottom.  AND did I mention that it stinks?!  My girls started feeling sorry for it and started saying I love you to  the jar at about week two so that kind of  messed up the experiment but it was exactly what I wanted them to learn. To say  nice positive things to fix "sad jars" and to not say mean things or you will hurt other people.  When  mean words or tones are flying through the house  its now common to hear  One child say to the other "Remember the three jars!" 

Mosiah 4: 30

 30 But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not. 

3 Nephi 12:22 or Matthew 5:22

22 But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of his judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Here are some other Great Videos to Check out on the water study and just sound and thoughts in general and how they affect us.

There are SOOO many of these  but not all of them have  clean language (you would  think after doing the experiment they would clean up their mouths but no such luck.) This one is clean.  You can look at others if you like. Just search  rice experiment and see what you get.

The Word of Wisdom

The Lord has told us through the Prophet Joseph Smith:
“If a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life, through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come.” [D&C 130:19.]
No man who breaks the Word of Wisdom can gain the same amount of knowledge and

intelligence in this world as the man who obeys that law. I don’t care who he is or where he comes from, his mind will not be as clear, and he cannot advance as far and as rapidly and retain his power as much as he would if he obeyed the Word of Wisdom. (TEACHINGS: HEBER J. GRANTCHAPTER 21: OBSERVING THE WORD OF WISDOm)

A law of health revealed by the Lord for the physical and spiritual benefit of the Saints (D&C 89). It has become commonly referred to as the Word of Wisdom. The Lord has always taught his followers principles of health. The Lord revealed to Joseph Smith which types of foods to eat and which to avoid, along with a promise of temporal and spiritual blessings for obeying the Word of Wisdom.
Do not drink wine nor strong drink:Lev. 10:9;
Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging:Prov. 20:1;
Strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it:Isa. 24:9;
Daniel would not defile himself with the king’s meat and wine:Dan. 1:8;
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy:1 Cor. 3:16–17;
Drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of God:1 Cor. 6:10; ( Gal. 5:21; )
Whoso forbiddeth that man should not eat meats is not ordained of God:D&C 49:18–21;
All things which come of the earth are to be used with judgment, not to excess:D&C 59:20;
The Lord counseled the Saints to not use wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks:D&C 89:1–9;
Herbs, fruits, flesh, and grain are ordained for the use of man and of animals:D&C 89:10–17;
Obedience to the Word of Wisdom brings temporal and spiritual blessings:D&C 89:18–21;



President Boyd K. Packer, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, taught:

“Your body is the instrument of your mind. In your emotions, the spirit and the body come closest to being one. What you learn spiritually depends, to a degree, on how you treat your body. That is why the Word of Wisdom is so important.

“The habit-forming substances prohibited by that revelation—tea, coffee, liquor, tobacco—interfere with the delicate feelings of spiritual communication, just as other addictive drugs will do.


“Do not ignore the Word of Wisdom, for that may cost you the ‘great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures’ [D&C 89:19] promised to those who keep it. And good health is an added blessing” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1994, 78; or Ensign,Nov. 1994, 61).

"A strong human spirit with control over appetites of the flesh is master over emotions and passions and not a slave to them. That kind of freedom is as vital to the spirit as oxygen is to the body! Freedom from self-slavery is true liberation!"

—Russell M. Nelson, "Decisions for Eternity"
