Dear Friends,
I have always been a lover of the
Oceans and I have lived more or less most of my life by the different oceans. I
also have tremendous respect and awe for this amazing element, and as I started
to interact with the dolphins and whales in the open ocean in the Hawaiian
Islands many years ago, a gentle and powerful memory was surfacing from the
depth of my being: the submerging of Atlantis and Lemuria under the water over
15,000 years ago.
That incident has been buried
deep within the human consciousness and been influencing every generation
since.
At this time, we are healing that ancient imprint through powerful
awakening connections with dolphins and whales, and some of the surfing
legends, and ocean explorers like Jacques Cousteau. Adventurers like Jacques
Mayol featured in the movie Big Blue, held his breath for 5 minutes and his
life and amazing free-diving achievements are inspirations reminding us of our
deep connection with water. Babies that are born under water have the capacity to breathe and stay up to 15 minutes under water. Observing them, they look like flying angels while swimming, completely free and joyous in the water element. I have always felt that the oceans are the true
walls of humanity and that the human has the capacity to be in the water in
ways that are now becoming more and more evident. To destroy this element is
truly to dig a giant mass grave.
No question, humanity will not
survive without the oceans so to keep polluting and destroying them is complete
insanity. To protect and bring some consciousness to this plight of the oceans
must be the most important cause anyone may embark on, like One World One Ocean
and other organizations trying to wake us up. Every human being must wake up to
this problem and start to do something about it. It is not acceptable to
say,”What can I do?” If your house is on fire, what do you do? Well your house
is on fire and worst of all, this cannot be rebuilt just like a house. So I
urge everyone to assist with this simple T-shirt campaign and become an Ocean
Nation sovereign citizen, bringing awareness to this urgent matter.
With Love and Respect, Aros

Take a breath. Now
take another. The ocean provides us with over 50% of the oxygen we breathe,
meaning our very existence—for better or worse—is inextricably connected to its
fate.
