What Will Multi-Millionaires Think Of Next?

It must be true, the old cliche about a man and his multi-millions. Give a boy a mega-boatload of dollars and see what he will buy...or build. It's always interesting to see just what a strapping young man would do these days with his almost billions...if he had it to spend. Since deRothschild does have a watery sense and fluidity, it should be interesting to see what this soul does with it in a lifetime.

In the case of older generation male models, (such as, dare we say...aging boomer Branson), we see that billions of bucks sank into a fuel snorting rocketship destined for another location in our galaxy...as if the message were, 'Earth's too toxic now to fix her, so let's just abandoned ship all together'. For a pretty price, 'elitists' can jettison off to the moon or elsewhere, if Branson has his way. 'Let's just leave the rest of the planet if a puff bloom of exhaust fumes to suck up, cuz we're so outta here!', may soon cry a wolf upon departure in 2011.

Well, luckily, we are beginning to see a new breed of multi-millionaires entering the planetary scene. Perhaps with each incoming male generation there is indeed a seed of redemption implanted upon Mother Earth, who may we remind everyone; is a 'SHE'.

Perhaps the lost flock of souls from Atlantis have returned. Maybe a few thou years in Etherville has wisened up some of them for there is a rather enjoyable, fresh enthusiasm to these incoming sorts. They're not afraid of taking the rotting lemons left behind by their elders and making a new kind of spirit-u-all sauce for the rest of us to savor. They're actually creating with 'connectivity' in mind.

This year, along floats 'Plastiki', the recycled plastic bottle wonder boat soon set to sail around the world - to raise awareness on how to take the toxic by-products of generations past...and save Earth from smothering to death. Wow....a toy with a humanitrian plan! 'How utterly refreshing', say the suffering, lesser paid women nurturers of the planet. Maybe the God-men ARE actually returning! But we'll still hold our breath for a bit...for it seems that for all the multi-millions one soul alone can hold, one tiny plastic boat seems a rather punative effort. Why not a whole first fleet of platform ships to ferry food to the poor across the waters? Boys and their toys. Perhaps humans ARE the slowest evolving creatures on planet after all, despite creative toy building ability.

Who's Drowning Who?

If you've paid rapt attention to the media these past two years, you'll have noticed that there is a 'not so subtle' underlying theme flowing through the minds of the masses. The new catch words of the decade are 'transparency' and 'accountability'. Human beings are actually waking up to see that we've all done a mighty job in selling each other, each other's poop. Yup. Call in Rotor Rooter cuz societal business as usual suddenly stinks like a sulfurous bog.

Take for instance, the bottled water industry. In the name of money, which is the sole motivator of the human race sadly it seems; big industry icons right down to the local Joe, all got in on the bottled water industry about a decade or so ago. The sales pitch THEN was, tap water was not safe! So major money was tossed into the industry of selling 'fresh spring' bottled water. Like a band of blind, hungry ants the masses sucked down that idea with mighty fervor. Come a crippled housing market, a crashed economy and one or two major oil spills, and suddenly, finger pointing has become the number one human past-time.

Hence the GO GREEN industry was birthed. In our new quest to make one another accountable....suddenly we find that the 'bottled spring water' craze we bought into ended up being mostly re-bottled tap water. This was largely due to the fact that the bottled water industry mysteriously slipped by the normal red tape of public safety regulations....and soon enough, naughty businessmen took advantage of the general public's overall stupidity.

Finger pointing aside, the bottom line is - we're all in this sewage hole together. We wouldn't have greed-mongers had we not allowed ourselves to be sold down the river - on any front. And when it comes to the water industry - since we're all feverishly investigating how to better filter our tap water after all.... now all we have to do is figure out how to collect, recycle and dispose of those billions of plastic water bottles we all had a hand in polluting Mother Earth with. Because in the end...we're all accountable!

Another Human Query for The Master...

'Oh, Aqua Guru...we are a society in need of advice. What sayeth you to all of the perplexed human beings who have had the pulp squeezed out of them? How do the miniscule masses manage to survive the massive blunders of the rich rulemakers? How do we tend our gardens when the very seeds we sow are under TAX threat? How do we manage our dimes and nickels when we are now down to counting all our pennies? What words of HOPE can you bring to us?', we pleaded.

'As usual....this no brainer', the ever so youthful old man spat. 'Ok, so SPLAIN'...as Ricky Ricardo would toot, we said.

'Human body needs no pennies to wake up. Human body needs no pennies to smile. Human body needs no pennies to dream. Human body 80% water. Human body needs no pennies. Ha!' Then he stopped. Silence.

'Ok, so you're not gonna leave us with THAT shriveled tidbit, are you?' we asked, incredulous at the thought.

'Live like the animals', Aqua Guru smiled.

'Animals eat each other', we said.

'Seek deeper', he smiled again.

'Care to elaborate?' we queried. We didn't dare admit we couldn't go deep under pressure.

'When humans are done squeezing humans out of the ability to love...then we guru's shall call you bankrupt. For now, we call you silly. No big bank, no politician, no major corporation holds you from your dimes and nickels. You do.

'Uh, that's not how WE see it', we begged to differ.

'STOP GIVING pennies, nickels and dimes to banks and politicians', he spat, clearly disgusted at our stupidity. 'Bunnies only eat the grass that they need that day. Be like joyous bunnies and....' ..... and then he toddled off right in mid-sentance, leaving us to ponder the wonder of nature's cutest furballs. Well, Easter's right around the bend. Perhaps we should query Easter Bunny when he hops by.

Ice Olympics, A Frigid Mess or Mud Puddle?

They train hard, for four years at a clip just so that we the masses can view them swish and swirl...and twirl in the air for that matter... all for about 4 minutes and 40 seconds. What a thrill it is to watch grown men swivel this way and that, when the majority of the male species would prefer to swagger. But in the case of the Olympics, all's fair in elasti-wearland....and it was a real treat for both men and women from around the globe to tune in and view the talented fellas on display. That is until medal granting time.

Eerily like the quality of water, human emotions ran from oceanic tides of ecstasy to ice colder than the floor that night.... as the silver winner, most likely amped up on pure adrenalyn, spilled his guts and emotions to ravenous news reporters...who swallowed up every drop of spit that flew from the Olympian's mouth. Was it just water on the tongue or a calculated ice-pik stab at the gold winner - who by all means, should have had at least one special moment free of 'OPM'...(other people's madness).

After all, four years is a long time to wait for anything. Most of us have the IQ of an infant when it comes to patiently working toward any goal or thing in life. These guys should have gotten a medal just for their long term efforts alone.

Was it the prior Russian Judge cheating scandal that launched the salty tsunami or was it just the pant-wetting tantrums of a poor sport athlete? Who knows? One thing is for sure. Humans, who are made up of approximately 70% water, begin taking on all the qualities of it when their mettle has been tested. Icy, fluid, soggy, wet and wildly uncontainable. This year's 2010 Olympic Men's Ice Skating Event almost washed the tarnish off the Tanya Harding Ordeal. But wait....there's more to come! Stay tuned for Johhny Weir's new Reality TV Fashionista show!

Quiet Contemplation...a Boon or a Bust?

If we were all granted a view of our planet from afar, such as the lucky few astronauts who got to float about AND pee in their pants without reprimand, would it impact us enough to cause us to widen our perspective as to why we're all here in the first place? Probably not. But to give the human race the benefit of the doubt, let's try for a moment to see the higher good behind all the bad & rampantly trashy behavior that humans are and humans do. Because if we're going to get a good solid zen-hold on our lives during these wildly changing, environmentally concerning times, we might as well do it as a collective. After all, we're all bumbling around together on planet whether we like it or not. And it's not likely that Nasa will be shipping regular people off for mini vacations to the moon - even if Branson were to convince Gates to merge assets for rocket adventures.

Maybe there really IS something to the act of pondering the soul when we're in a state of calm, rather than when crisis hits and we're suddenly, madly scrambling for cover. Where do our nutty ideas come from anyway? Most people, never stop to question why they think the way they do or why even they act the way they act....that is until they get themselves into deep doo-doo. Trouble, as the zen masters teach us is our greatest gift; for when we are under water so to speak, we are forced to have to suck up and look at life from different angles. By then things are usually such a mess, that no matter what angle one tries to view a situation, no solution seems in sight.

Well...we might not solve the problems right in front of us and maybe moon travel is just a pipe dream for most of us. But if we can look up once in awhile and stare at the stars from our itsy, bitsy little lives of 9-5 hrs and MOON SIZED mortgage bills, we'll always have our divine right to 'dream on'. Even if we never make full sense of why any of us are really here.

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?

Ice Is Thicker Than Water

Ice floats on water…but who’d a thought it was actually less dense than water? At first glance it sure seems like it could be heavier, harder, colder and thicker than water. Anyone’s whose slipped and fallen on it KNOWS it is a hard surface firsthand! Anyone who’s skidded on it knows it can be slicker than Tony Soprano on a dark night. But badda-bing, badda boom – who’d a thunk that as thick as it may be in wintertime; it actually has more air in it? And that's what helps cause it to float.

In ice, the molecules develop hydrogen bonds tighter than an old Italian family. And the bonding action between the oxygen of one atom and the hydrogen of another atom then pumps up the volume to create a slick greasy hard outer surface; sort of like a noisy bunch of drunken bad boys spewing out of the Badda Bing Bar. TV mobsters take note: don’t axe a guy, freeze him in a cooler, then later try to sink him in a river cuz he’ll pop right up and float like a lighthouse buoy.

Consume VS Conserve Mentality

What is the human economic disaster all about? Does anyone know? Let's let Aqua Guru speak! [Clap, clap, clap!] 'Wisdom is simple', Aqua-fucius says. Chi flow = money flow = smooth flowing society.

For decades, SOME human beings got a shriveled up notion in their itty bitty pin-heads that to starve other people out of their chi-money flow in the interest of gaining for themselves; they could then call themselves RICH. Trouble is, millions of other greedy little-booby-pin-heads thought that turd idea was a great one so they jumped on the bandwagon. So NOW, the decades-long practice of chi stealing has finally backfired to cause a HUGE ECONOMIC MESS. Aqua-fucius says, 'All are one and so dried up, poopy ideas = constipated economy.'

What’s a hardworking, high-minded human to do? GO ZEN. Let the idiots who caused the madness of consumer consumption have ALL the plastic goods they created back. Truth be told, humans need little to be healthy & happy. They need basic shelter, food; good water & loving relationships. Aqua-fucius says, 'Dump consumption, SHARE and BE FLOWINGLY ABUNDANT from within.'

Aquaverve can help get you started for going bottleless means you can ALWAYS fill your cup and YET not waste a single drop of water. Aqua-fucius THEN says, 'May your chi cup be free flowing & forever full!'
