F.L.O.W. For the Love Of Water – Review/Discussion

FLOW - The cases and stories portrayed in the documentary are transparent enough for anyone to see through the veils that capitalism attempts to place before reality.



The conditions and circumstances presented could be avoided, prevented, and the people affected could be cared for and provided with the living-necessities to ensure a dignified life and self-sustainability for the communities. Yes, “Could” – if for example the monstrous profits of the corporations went even to small percentage back to the people and the places they exploit in the first place.

Not that THAT would be a real, actual, viable and lasting solution – but still, it would be the least one could do to NOT have MILLIONS of people moved from their homes and lands so that dams can be built for the corporations to exploit the water for bottling and selling, without ever buying the land or owning the water or providing alternative solutions for the people they expel.

A solution in the context of BIG (Basic Income Grant) would relieve the immediate suffering and practical concerns of the poorest of the poor and would provide every single human being with the basic needs one requires to live in this world.


30,000 children die DAILY from water contamination.
At the same time, water is becoming the next oil for the egos of the elite: the ‘blue gold’. Transient goods such as water cannot be owned, they are provided by the earth for all its inhabitants and are a natural resource without which life on this planet cannot exist. This should be practical and applied COMMON SENSE. Yet it is not.




WATCH this documentary (again) and discuss it with your friends – ask yourself what it will take to stop the RINGS OF POWER CREATED through, with and around MONEY and the ELITE.

Observe how it is not that seldom that CEOs, executives and high rank members of the big corporations pull out and break with the systems once they see what they are/have been supporting through ‘playing the game’; once they can no longer sit back and watch what is going on, no longer allow this, no longer be part of the problem. So some do stand up and make the choice to become part of the solution.
Perhaps those that consider joining the movement of ‘Common People’ are not few…. We could perhaps contribute to encouraging people in ‘high places’ to do stand-up, do speak-out, to no longer allow the exploitation of life for profit!


WATCH this documentary and you will see there is only ONE solution to the whole-problem, and that is a solution that considers and regards ALL and the WHOLE planet as ONE. A solution based on the value of LIFE, a solution that will bring-forth equality of the right to life, equality in the living quality for all, and will stop all abuse, all exploitation, all separation once and for all.

This solution is the equal money system as proposed by the Desteni group – a group of people like you and me that have had enough of this world as we know it, enough of sitting back and expecting the big players to come-up with a solution that will consider what’s best for all; because they won’t. WE gotta do it for ourselves, for the COMMON sense. WE gotta do it for ALL, we gotta stand-up and find the will and the way to address the problems with actual, practical, viable solutions that are Best for All.

It will not be before 2020 that a new equality-/life-system can start being implemented through an equal money system – but until then, please make sure you support the values of life: equality and oneness and dignity for all.

BIG (the Basic Income Grant model) is one small, yet considerable step towards that direction, as through BIG we’d be able to abolish poverty from the face of the planet and that relatively quickly!
Once poverty and fear of survival no longer drive human beings, a whole new world is opening up and people can be educated with practical common sense, self-responsibility and political ways of self-empowerment. The BIG pilot project in Namibia proves this. The story of the Indian village shown in the documentary FLOW proves this.




 Water is Equality.

The situation of the world and especially the latest developments with the monopoly on water shows that love does not exist; because the human psyche/ the human nature /the human consciousness does not allow LIFE to FLOW to ALL EQUALLY.

Instead of GIVING LIFE so that all may HAVE/BE/LIVE Life – the human condition tends to try and OWN and possess ‘life’. This behavior not only disgraces the human, it also perpetuates the system and feeds the constructs of greed, self-interest, exploitation, abuse.

In this world that we’ve manifested: 
Money doesn’t flow, Food doesn’t flow, Water doesn’t flow to ALL. 
And the reason is the ill will of Man(that is not)Kind. 

And what do we do? Throughout eons of time we reason-about aimlessly, our only concern to find something or someone to load our shit onto, to abdicate our responsibility to, to hope for salvation – from ourselves! We reason-about with fuzzy logic, to not have to see the reason for why the world is the world as we know it; for why existence exists as it does with us humans in/as it and what we have become.

The systems we exist through are complex in their interrelations, yet simplistic to see, once we will ourselves to see things for what they are and call things by their name; once we will ourselves to stand-up and face reality and take responsibility for ‘what is here’.

The ironic fact of the matter is that, logistically and technologically, we are more than able to live in equal fulfillment and abundance – without hunger, starvation, war; without a system of inequality based on ‘values’ that divide and conquer, a system based on make-belief hierarchies that feed off of life, using Money as ‘power’ as the ‘god’ that determines who lives and who dies.


We tend to blame and cuss the elite for doing what they do: ‘protecting’ their bloodlines, ‘protecting’ the continuation of ‘their reign’, of their ‘power’, of their ‘own’.
Yet everyone does it the same way: We care for and protect ‘our own’ against the world. And that is exactly what the system wants us to do, because as long as we play the game, the elite and the rings of power are ‘justified’ and able to continue doing what they’re doing while the world is crumbling.

Have a look at how we’ve placed and continue to place Blood over Water. Why? “Blood is thicker than water” is a saying of this world – used for what? To justify why we do not regard all living beings equally. To justify our fear of standing-up, our fear of the world, our fear of punishment and sanctions, our fear of being disenfranchised, ostracized, rejected and spat out.

So the system in fact gives the people no other choice but to accept this behavior as normal/ given/ logical. Because by accepting this one point and going-into and living-out this ‘protection-mode’ – we accept ourselves as inferior in the world and allow the elite to reign and conquer, based on the ‘profoundness’ of the blood that runs in their veins!




In an equal money system, a system based in the value of life as equality and actual oneness as life: all bloodlines will have equal value, as all have equal water. ‘Blood protection’ will no longer be a necessity imposed by a system that functions/manipulates through fear.
In an equal money system, all ‘goods’ and everything the earth provides will common-sensically be available and provided for ALL – equally – and no living thing will be left to suffer lack or rejection.

Water gives life.
Man takes life.
Is man then really kind?
Is man worthy of life?

Certainly not within and as the current condition of existence.
The human condition has manifested a conditioned matrix of enslavement and exploitation, where ‘profit’ is valued before life and only the ‘fit’ of the hierarchy get access to life/living – while the majority is left to struggle for survival through means of competition, rivalry, fear, greed.

We have conditioned ourselves and our world to exist in patterns of polarity wherein we exist against each-other, instead of living together, in co-existence, as Earthlings, as living beings that realize: We breathe the same air, we share common ground, we only have One Planet that gives us life. There is No Plan B.



It is sad that common sense is not enough.
It is sad that solutions are not considered before the tragedy knocks on one’s OWN door.

A film, a documentary is quickly forgotten, and such impulses often end with promises and projections of hope that do not allow for the necessary ‘anger’ of having had “enough!” to come up within a person, do not allow for the ‘shame’ and ‘regret’ we experience in the face of such knowledge, of such reality, to ring the bells of our conscious enough for us to literally stand-up and GO ABOUT practically discussing, bringing-forth, promoting and supporting solutions for this mess that we’ve accepted and given permission for to exist in this world – OUR world, of which we only have ONE.

So let us Be ONE.

Let us move practically towards Equality as the value of life, because have a look – that is what Oneness by definition implies: equality. Without equality, our oneness is that of polarity, separation, abuse; our oneness is not that of life.

Life must be brought-forth, created, supported – through an agreement of all and each single one of us as living beings, as Earthlings, as custodians of life here on Earth. Life does not yet exist – what exists is survival and a power-game we call ‘life’. But Living can be so much more!


WE are the building blocks of this world. WE are the only ones able to make a difference, make a change – if we WILL.

So – let us purify and heal the ill will of man, and will ourselves to stand-up and actually, practically, consistently and effectively support the solutions of equality, the solutions for Life, for ALL, as equals.

For the Love of Water, for the Love of Life! Investigate, get informed, expose the lies and the exploitation that is being allowed, and let’s get together in Standing-Up for Life – 
for Real!

IMAGINE ... LIFE in an Equal Money System

In this current system you don’t know who to trust. 
Why?



You can trust no one and nothing of this world. There is no transparency. It takes time and effort to follow a point back to its origin and find the ones accountable. And even then, one cannot know of the deals and trades it took for the particular result to exist. How long will we keep on shifting responsibility and pointing fingers – the blame game isn’t bringing anyone anywhere.
These are the consequences of a system of secrecy, power games and greed, a system that is based on an artificially induced ‘scarcity’ as if to make sure that not all have everything, that most are existing with a sense of lack, loss, injustice, so that a select few can feel a sense of luck, attainment, power. All the while there is more than enough food, more than enough resource for all in this world. It just doesn’t get to everyone equally.
Imagine a system of equality: equal abundance, equal distribution, equal availability, equal knowledge, equal power, equal opportunities.

This would practically imply that finally free choice may exist. Our choices will not depend on the money we have or don’t have, will not depend where we are born or what our parents are able to provide. Our development and growth will not depend on what chances are available or not, because everything will be available for all equally and thus each one will be free to choose who and what one wants to be and will be alone responsible for becoming it or not.

Imagine a system of transparency.

Imagine a new money system where money is created based on the actual numbers of the world: people, households, demand.

Imagine a new currency that will allow for the currents of goods and services to flow to all equally.

Imagine an economic system where money doesn’t run out, doesn’t deflate, doesn’t depend on the will of man to determine its value, but has a one and equal value, a value that is stable and consistent, because it is based on the one thing we all share: life.

Imagine a world where the value of life is the highest value.

Imagine a system where each one citizen of the earth receives a monthly living allowance from birth to death and no one has to exist in fear of survival;
where each profession earns an equal income per hour, based on the common sense realization that each person’s time is equally valuable. This will give us actual choice as to what we wanna do, who we wanna be, and how we wanna contribute to our life and our world. We will finally have professionals that enjoy what they do and do it well – instead of doing it for survival, profit, competition, a sense of power.

Imagine a system where the power is life and it is equally available to all. Power as the ability to live, explore, expand, discover, create, innovate.

Imagine a world with viable systems that actually support life.

Imagine a system that is administrated in utmost simplicity, transparency and specificity on the basis of a rotating administrative board, in which anyone can take part.

Imagine a world where your voice is one vote always; a world where your vote counts; where your vote is not for a person or a party, but for actual decisions that form the living space we all share and the mechanics thereof;
a system where all procedures and all money movement is always visible to all – absolute transparency, absolute excellence of care, absolute excellence of distribution, absolute excellence in all services.

Imagine how all can be millionaires in such a system and live like millionaires. Billionaires will go extinct as no more accumulation and profit as such will exist.

Imagine a world where we no longer need to work for a living;
a world where a practicality conscription system will make sure all get to know the mechanics of our world, of what it means to inhabit earth and manage the infrastructure of the planet: water, electricity, roads, transportation, digital networks; cleaning, maintenance, waste, sewage – all that it takes to have a functional, viable system that runs in a way that is best for all, including the planet. Four years of ‘labour’ for the youth after graduation – four years of practical application before one is ‘set free’ to discover the world without ever having to work ‘for a living’.

This conscription system will serve several levels of co-existence simultaneously:
= The youth is educated in practical matters and responsibility.
= Each one gets knowledge and experience within the functional matters of practical reality.
= The youth is given insight into possible future fields of study, work or research.
= Interdisciplinary networks are built and research moves closer to the actuality of reality.
= No one has to spend a lifetime cleaning the streets or collecting garbage, washing dishes or plumbing.
= The collective is cultivated and a sense of home-care is established, as we get to practically see and realize what it takes to be a human being and make life on earth possible, for all.
= We educate ourselves in common sense, as we get to practically realize what it takes to co-exist in a system of actual life-support.
= The system itself – infrastructure, services, communications – is consistently maintained and taken care of in way that it will in turn support the citizens and enable the free movement, participation and education of all citizens equally.


Imagine a world system based on the value of life, where the starting-point and the objective is Living, Exploring, Expressing, Expanding, Communicating; where actual creation and actual progress begin to reflect who we really are, who we can be when we start seeing ourselves and living as accountable citizens of the planet.

Imagine a world where science, research, education will finally be dealing with what really matters in life, will finally be dealing with actual concerns in the context of what is here – this one reality we share. Competition will be healthy and will support actual progress while serving the growth and upliftment of each individual and the collective equally.


Imagine a world where we slowly but surely learn to stop our fear of each-other, our fear of life and death, our fear of living; to stop our greed, jealousy, spitefulness; where we slowly but surely learn to be responsible, learn to trust ourselves, trust each-other, trust the world; learn to live, discover, enjoy.

Imagine a world where LIVING is actually FUN – for ALL – unconditionally.

Imagine that YOU are part of it all: the awakening of life, the correction, the creation, the implementation. You are – check it out!
