    WE LIVE IN PUBLIC...
    Now playing SpaceCollective
    Where forward thinking terrestrials share ideas and information about the state of the species, their planet and the universe, living the lives of science fiction. Introduction
    Featuring Powers of Ten by Charles and Ray Eames, based on an idea by Kees Boeke.
    From starsearch's personal cargo

    One tear is really the Ocean...
    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
