This seven minute animated film is a masterpiece of visual artistry combined with powerful political and spiritual imagery and insight.  The title “I, Pet Goat II” is somewhat inappropriate to the spiritual context of the film, as it is a reference to the title of the book that “W” was reading to school kids while his co-conspirators blew up the World Trade Center as a False Flag operation to justify military invasion, political tyranny and financial ruin. However, this film is a much broader commentary on the current state of Mankind, both as homo sapiens and as spiritual entities.  I trust you will enjoy it. as I have. — LRS

FACTS vs POSSIBILITIES

e-squared-smaller“I have a friend who shall not be named that regularly accuses me of being a pie-in-the-sky Pollyanna. She thinks talking only about the good and the beautiful is denying facts. But here’s my position. “Facts” are not that interesting. I much prefer discussing possibilities. Sure those studies, those government reports, those doctors’ prognoses declare what she might call irrefutable “facts.” But to me, they’re nothing but a catapult for something better. I believe the most important faculty we possess is our imagination, and that by aligning it with the field of infinite potentiality, we can create something so much better than “current facts.”

Harping on about “current facts” just calls in more of the same. To waste our time on “appearances” is denying the power we have to change things for the better. I would much rather deny “facts” than deny my own ability to imagine something better. My words are the seeds that plant the possibilities. We can continue to focus on “what is” or “what appears to be,” or we can focus on what we can better imagine. “What is” is simply what we’ve been focusing on. “What could be” is much more interesting. At least to me.” — Pam Grout, Author of  E-Squared: 9 Do-it-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality.

WATER AND EARTH

Three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered with water, yet 98 percent is salt water and not fit for consumption.

Less than one percent of all the water on Earth is freshwater available for human consumption.

WATER AND HUMANS

The human body is more than 60 percent water. Blood is 92 percent water, the brain and muscles are 75 percent water, and bones are about 22 percent water.
A human can survive for a month or more without eating food, but only a week or so without drinking water.

WATER CONSUMPTION

3.9 trillion gallons of water are consumed in the United States per month.
The average American uses 176 gallons of water per day compared to 5 gallons of water the average African family uses each day.
