Black and White Equals....?

Grey is a not exactly as exciting or as polarizing as yin/yang, black/white or yes/no....but there are many shades of it and ironically, it is what happens when you mix two drastically opposing colors together. Metaphorically speaking...(or as those of you who have ever spent time in a psychiatrist's office full well know), those grey areas in life are where we all stand a little confused - no matter what life challenge it is that we are being presented with.

Grey is grey...is grey is grey IS GREY!

There is no black and white when you are in the grey. So we decided to put a happy little spin on that color so as to offer a little hope to all those who are stuck mucking about in it, for whatever reason you're there. There's a relatively new invention, or maybe it's old and just coming to hipster popularity in the public arena now thanks in part to Ed Begley; that makes a fun sport out of recycling dirty, used, mucky, yucky grey water. Back to metaphor, we see suddenly that we have the ability to clear the water in our lives so to speak and make the grey into a sparkling and reusable life property that enables us to flourish and flower despite life's challenges.

Nope. No old and worn 'ripple in the pond' theory tossed out by the mind doctor needed here. We just fork over ten grand (that's approx. $10,000.00 of your hard earned beans) for a water recycling unit and clean up the gooky stuff by laundering it...er, sort of. At least that's what Grey Water recycling is all about, fundamentally speaking. Now as for the esoteric meaning of it....we'll leave that to the zen masters.

Metal, Water, Wood, Fire & Earth

We consulted our Aqua Guru on the latest metal water bottle issue to gain greater wisdom over our past human ways, including our latest problem with plastic bottle pollution.

"Ahhh - sooo!" Aqua-fucius gleefully exclaimed. Back up a minute. Gleeful we ask? What could be gleeful about finding bisphenol A contaminant leaching from yet another human brainstorm product designed to contain water for ourselves?

"Sooo, you see - no plastic in Chinese five elements formula, but metal yes?" he queried us. Yes, we understand that Aqua-fucius. So? "Aqua-fucius leave that to you humans to figure out", he gently smiled. Or was that a cruel smirk he just emitted?

"Aqua-fucius beckons you to view greater picture, young souls. What is physical creation about to begin with?", he queried. We admit. We were stumped. "To see how the human mind has separated itself from the Universal Oneness that IS!", he chirped.

Huh? Clarify, oh great Aqua Guru! "Try to see humans as one tiny species of many millions on planet. But tiny humans do not see connection of all living things, including Earth. Humans create with no value given to all other creatures and one day, humans see that their creations have sliced heavily into the delicate fabric of their eco system, like mighty metal warrior sword!", he sternly spat as he stretched his goatee out to a sharp point. Good thing he didn't have his sword on hand that day. Ok, so what? No more plastic bottles and no more metal containers? Straw baskets leak, we dared to challenge.

"Not when made well and with loving hands", our beloved Aqua Guru retorted.

Well if we had lovingly crafted our plastic & metal bottles, would it have made a difference, we asked?

"Before creating, ponder the word 'love'," Aqua-fucius said, "And then add it to all that you think & all that you do.....and see what happens in your world.... Enough now!", he squirted out... and with that, he waddled back to sanctuary, leaving us in the dust of our modern day confusion.

"Solution is no brainer!" the voice jumping out from the back of his teetering head said. Wow. One last hint for us to ponder from the grand and great Aqua Guru. What to make of our conversation that day?

Well.... we're not sure what THE total planetary solution to fully ponder is, but we've got A solution! Try bottleless water!

WATER Is An Extraterrestrial Resource

We think of water as being ours, as in: our planet, our world... our home, etc. And perhaps it might jar the perceptual mindset of a few million humans if we were to suddenly tell them that water is actually from outer space. So, we'll do it gently....right here....within the tranquil, safe haven of our blog.

WATER IS AN ALIEN RESOURCE!

There....see? It's not that bad. We're still here. You didn't explode. The truth does not kill us, as we so might anticipate it would. THE FACT IS: water may have invaded our bodies, as in the movie 'Body Snatchers' but, WE have to take responsibility for allowing it to happen . After all, we used our free will and DRANK it. Nobody forced us to guzzle the liquid. And no matter how much we try to eliminate it from our body forms now that we KNOW it's alien, it will never leave our systems completely. It has taken over 3/4 of our bodies and we now NEED it in order to survive. Which comes to our next point.

If water is alien and we are intrinsically tied to it and perhaps as Carl Sagan hypothesized that all things, beings and planets are from the STARS; maybe we can begin to look at our foreign neighbors from across the world with whom we have perceptual differences - with a slightly gentler eye.

For if it is proven ultimately that we ALL come from the outer galaxies - including water and Earth itself - then WHO is actually terrestrial?
