And water is the most fantastic molecule in this tiny Universe...
As a parable, water do represent the true potential of human beings as well as the tiny boundaries of our huge fragility...
There is absolutely nothing in ourselves that it is not present in the ocean.
In fact, our chemical composition is water with a tiny proportion of some grains of the dust of the stars. The whole of the Ocean is a global entity, there is no separateness in water, despite of its amazing properties of assuming all states and adopting always the shape of the surrounding environment.
Water is simply amazing in its unbelievable frailty. What it Is, simply ceases to exist in a tiny moment, regarding some minuscule change in the environmental conditions.
At the same time, its superb fluidity and pureness its almost impossible to preserve - there are no frontiers or real borders in water, and just a simple drop of ink or any polluting chemical substance is enough to simply ruin that precious root substance and it is really quite difficult to turn it back to its original condition (although not impossible in some very strict conditions and with huge technological interventions). In another cosmic scale, given the sufficient turns in the wheel of time, natural processes may intervene and replenish water to its best properties, but its immense improbable equilibrium remains.
Regarding human beings, we can say that a huge amount of effort is and has been made for Ages, from different social control systems to systematically induce, promote and cherish separateness among people - The separation of the waters has always been the master tool for power and control, using all possible means (fear, pain, anger, greed, lust for power, stereotypical intentional accentuation, and so on, and so on).
On the other hand, almost every personal or collective move tending to promote growth and conscience evolution by diminishing separateness and inviting separate parts to join a healthy and happy road to wholeness (Hey Tears - lets go back to the Ocean and have some real fun and happiness!) are and always have been severely punished, crushed, object of stereotypical distortion and defamation.
Or, in a alternative strategic move, when those roads to wholeness were or are really strong and powerful moves, they are subtly contaminated or infiltrated with some or many tiny drops of those polluting substances vastly used for social control, turning the "human pure water essence" in something completely different, usually awful in taste and quite difficult to drink - we are really constantly driven to dive in several different poisoned waters and its hard to escape...
But we can still learn from the past and reinvent future history - Sometimes the poison and the cure are the same - the secret remains in the use you choose to give it or in devising totally different ways of creating the right steps in the path to wholeness, while constantly not forgetting to protect and secure it...
I think we still deserve to reach our most pure ocean water state, who knows in order to became something else, even better

Internet and social networking its the realm of "everything is possible".
Human limits and a vast "stereotyping rules" design constraints are driving away the vast amount of users from the really interesting core of this globally wide social experience - trying to attain all possibilities of individually and collectively trying to expand the use of the existing tools and the development of new ones, as well as social environmental experiences to real paradigm change live transformations.
But, nowadays it is really not Utopian to think that you can really induce true changes in the world, while calmly working from your home.
The question lies on the multiple "How's". How can you manage to do that, to induce real shifts and changes?
In my opinion, the central issue lies not in the messages you build and deliver (the easy difficult part), bu instead in devising ways of effectively tune in and improve the rates on a clear understanding of the messages (thats the really difficult part)...
When I speak about a true understanding, I mean the kind of deep understanding that leads you to take action and really engage in one or several social change projects.
That, most certainly has to be done without ruining one of the most powerful and beautiful human traits, the gift of individually self extract particular meanings or even construct your own meaning from the root sources that you are reading and decoding.
A real change must blossom from real actors (in the sense of actively engaging in true actions driven to make a sustainable difference) and not from a big mass hurdle of followers, (the only thing a hurdle of sheep ever wants is a lot of more food, grass and water - more of the same as it ever was...).
True meaningful efforts must take this in to account - the utmost importance relies on the true and clear deep understanding of the social change clues you are trying to design...
And every contribution is welcome, because in the vast and wealthy realm of "social system status quo keepers" huge amount of resources are invested in studying and designing ways of manipulating social perception and spreading social conditioned ways of behaving and measuring and valuing human success and achievements in this world, witch are generally very far away of global human happiness values... The choice is always yours, some say...

With this almost infinite informational web, regarding human proportions, we are controversially feeling more and more caged in this tiny round world, choked mainly by social rules and all sorts of socially induced wars and prohibitions that stops us from trying to rehearse and live different ways of living with much more wisdom and pleasure.
The most powerful of all chains remain inside of our own hearts and minds - Inner prisons are so simple and powerful that, nowadays, social systems almost doesn't fear novelty or the winds of change - Everything simply returns to a suffocated and poisonous steady state, regarding the individual and group levels. And there is always huge profits in small apparent changes...
Huge speed and stress tends to numb human clarity of thought - In the worst scenario, welcome to the society of super digital speed and super tiny, mini, atomic, scrambled, piled, disconnected, dis-articulated and poorly organized thought - Copy Past rules and empty slogans and buzzwords pretend to explain everything, till every bit of difference and non standardized attitudes and behaviours fade away. We all feel we know everything - Everything is piled up in the internet, so we have it there, isn't it?
But reality is not a Graphic nor a data base - Maps and real territories are quite different things...
Stop and think a little - When we think calmly, the world subtly changes and hidden possibilities tend to be unfolded...
With all this information diversity at our disposal and joining several different ancient traditions with the creation of new lines of research, we can turn in to a creative exponential leap the knowledge of all human history. If socially shared new realities emerge in new and gradually perfected new ways of living together.
Only creativity is the limit. We actually can work while we travel and send it all by the internet, so next step - Fun and survival can happily live together - Welcome to The touristic part time work and travel system. Imagination is the limit - small and not so absurd examples - Travel Europe and have fun while you work. "The on the Road Mini MBA on new Economics" . "Euros for miles - Work as you learn". The interail consultant team training. Work festival in Cambodia, and so on. I actually invented some hundred new professions and projects for the future, but the future is now... Programs available only by interview.
Of course we also have to start home producing something we like, a little bit like in middle age, from agricultural food, to clothes, to botanic experimentation on scientifically grounds, to home pharmacology, to robotic home made developing kits, to free books sharing how to really do it, step by step, with no illusions of grandeur and wealth involved. Inner happiness and wealth are seldom related.
Neighbors and friends could make some nice and relaxing hobbies turn into profitable enterprises or social associations (For example I would found the European happy leisure and/or retirement time association). And, in the European Community you are free to travel, I wonder if the ancient laws regarding religious pilgrims have been discarded (:)). Leisure walking peregrinations could be a new concept too - leisure and walk a lot and work a little. While friends travel while working they can help other foreigner friends with their home productions.
The difficult issue is to mix different worlds that tend to be separated - private life and work life, friendship and professional paths, family and new ways of staying or walking around in this world. And power, property and greed are always subjects to be carefully thought about. But happiness can be a wonderful testing criteria to develop new ways of experimenting all around. How about returning to nomadic ways of relating to each other? The walking organizations are still there to be reinvented.
We could invent the part time work and learning or leisure peregrinations, we can teach each other and create international friendship teams for working games that generate a profit, and so on... The possibilities are so wide that we have became blinded. It is quite easy to make a much better and funnier world... It is just decide to stop being stupid, always fighting one and another, driven by fear, power struggles and stereotypes. Have you heard of couch surfing? How many friends do you have on your facebook? Open your eyes ...
I invented the slow traveling concept, using all the possible public transportation media and lines from different countries - The slowest and cheapest travel between to points wins and you can even work while you travel...
International Partnerships are welcome

In virtual universes we may just feel and decide in a totally free will condition, if we have control over the prearranged criteria of the choice of the information presented to you.
If you are able to shape your universe you are able to really influence the world around you. You create and draw the vision of the world you want and may even create your way of enlarge, develop, promote and share it.
Draw it well and enjoy it…

Similar ways of feeling in each one of us, in each one of several different nodes can really generate globally spread patterns of lots of unthinkably good happenings.
Nowadays the "its happening everywhere" scene of the 60's is really possible in real time, all over the world. The difficult subject resides in being able to maintain well limited objectives and a strong interweaved lifeline that can keep the original purpose, intention and the symbolic drive that may nourish a level 2 change project (in the sense of Paul Watzlawick) of such proportions.
Keeping the control of the original intentions should be the main goal to attain, while being perfectly aware that every creation has a curse associated with it, the possibility of being used in totally opposite ways of the primary intentions which were truly the seeds that drove the act of creation
If just several different generations could communicate and co-create different social projects, new social organizations and the ways of testing and improving it (pilot society neighborhoods, as an example), there would be a real opening of a sustainable door to change the world in a truly positive direction.
Just one golden rule as an imperative – Human Rights, Environmental Sustainability and Happiness should drive all priority setting definitions and choices being made in the development of the projects…

Times are changing so fast that we almost don't have the time to accommodate change . Most of us manage to adapt but mainly in a minimal functional level.
All information flows globally in a high level increasing speed rate, but between the huge amount, the piles and piles of terabytes massively spread, targeting all our perceptual senses, we have to be deeply conscious that most of it is mainly trash or noise in a informational sense... And there is a strong probability of becoming blind, deaf and mute, regarding the capacity to absorb, extract and share true meaning, all that correlating to a strategic excess of information, in consequence of our incapacity to filter adequately from all we are bombed with..
But, in everyone of us there is a lifeguard safety belt, that we may use if we remain conscious of the processes affecting our "models" of the world - That is our emotional system, witch, luckily works mainly based in analogical and slower processes, balanced by our inner hormonal processes.
Emotions are sometimes tricky and explosive, but when they are adequately driven, they manage to do the difference and even act as some very effective informational filters. They really color our world apprehension and shape the meanings we are able to extract.
If we get ourselves trapped in the treads of our most basic primary and simple emotions, we get a world picture and its related interpretations that will be mainly primary, simple, brutal, childish, egotistic and so simply and easily manipulated...
On the other hand, if we manage to drive our mind and heart set by some upper, secondary and more sophisticated, complex, even, if I may say, ethological and universe driven emotions, we can clearly get a different picture and understand, sense and act under a much broader view of the world. In that situation, plain simple manipulation will be much more difficult or easier to unveil...
Them, we may be prepared to filter and choose our ways, not only of understanding but also in co-constructing different new ways of being, relating, working, sharing and creating a world driven by totally different and mainly ethical values...
The choice is still in our hands and happiness should be always embedded in the new roads we will choose to build and travel
M.S.
