The first time for me see Athena exchanging business cards. I just had to record that. The occasion is this event with the Japan major publishing company KADOKAWA. lots of “OTAKU” there and the midst of media geniuses. Athena’s anime design style had been spotted by one of her mentor and consequently she was signed to the publishing company where her original characters made first appearance. Back story here.

Reports:

On the way to Ebisu station to meet some financial advisory, Ayumi decided to stop in the majestuous Mejiro Station at Junko’s place to deliver the Marine Foundation’s business cards, and we met Saori, Junko’s daughter. Saori is a bright young lady with a promising future I feel. It is a beautiful building that contains a space for “Wisdom School” a concept for children extra curriculum material.

A financial advisory is important for a foundation type of organization. As we are increasingly staging a name in the world map of such institution, we are naturally solicited as a target for fund transfers to facilitate people dodging the harsh reality of taxes for those whose mind is to skip away to better solutions. It is clear that the purpose of the Marine Foundation is based on a total commitment to regional laws anywhere it is established but however, to keep an open mind is always a surplus, if by chance we are able to operate with the law always on our side. The gentleman we met, is seasoned with high experience with Foreign Exchange dealing as a fund manager for large corporations. He is a Japanese who speaks English perfectly and therefore of me seeking for his counseling. Indeed we had a wonderful time listening, and he confirmed very nicely what I have tried to explain to Sumi and Ayumi on the concerns of funds. We learn something every day.

Reports:

Junko whom I have met a while ago today was able to join the Marine Foundation as a “Brand-Owner” lifetime membership along with Aya Miki whom also I have met just over the weekend. Junko’s page is ready and soon tomorrow we will have Aya’s page and information ready.

I am always so pleased when someone comes into the ownership position. This is a position that will be closed very soon as the number is very much limited. In Japan, the foundation accepts only 36 members. However, this is a very special and unique position and it means what it means, as being an “owner” – Brand Owner. It might that such system is the first to apply through the Marine Foundation, I am pretty sure that in the near future other organization will imitate it and that will be good I think. Ownership principles should be based on “groups” and that would facilitate certain sustainability in the way people think of the future. We surely are not on this planet forever and to think of possession is simply a temporary reality. But to leave a legacy that can transcend time and generations, is here the chance to shine like a corporate kingdom, leaving a trace behind and I suppose it is the way we human being like to live our lives, knowing that we could give something to the next generation and making, therefore, a difference with improving a part of this world. Leaving a legacy is a bit like being a co-creator to whoever created this beautiful planet and universe.

Segment: The abundance of YOU: (part 2)

What I mean by “no exception” is that we are all destined to depart from the world and that certainty does not exist in our conscience as something drastic or even something that bothers our ways of living every day. No one really thinks of departing the world while we live here in constant hope of achieving all that can be achieved and completed within our short days and years of living. In fact, we live to experience the constant desire to waking up to eternal thoughts of receiving that supreme energy we call “love”. The physical sun that is felt on our body has the same attribute of that spiritual emotional love that helps endure, transit and admire life on earth. We all have the same desire to express ourselves in the best of our abilities. There is, therefore, some kind of “abundance”, we all feel we deserve to have and if we were to talk about “eternity”, no one would consciously deny the existence of a greater “ME” just like there has got to be a greater world out there, where “ME” or “MYSELF” has got to be important. So what it is that makes YOU a unique individual, someone so special that if we really knew the potential we each have to experience life in its fullest, we would simply wake up in the morning and have a totally different interpretation to what we think about “fate” or “destiny”. We would wake up without the contradictory walls that elaborate on what others or society think of “me”. Instead, we would rather choose the path of knowing what our conscience is telling us directly and personally, like for example, the deep insights into what this surrounding universe really thinks of “YOU”.

Yes, it was a good trip to Nagoya and in the morning of the day, I see Nagoya like a painting shouting out of the hotel’s window (photo below). Nagoya is a beautiful Japanese City and the people there would not need to move to Tokyo to find prosperity as it is all here. This is the birthplace of “Toyota” the car maker and just that proves the wealth of the state. People here are very different in so many ways and it is said that they have great pride. I would think so too, but I think it is even more than that. The kindness here is felt different from the people of Tokyo and I think in so many ways, one could feel comfortable to live here feeling like being at the center of the world. We do feel this way, living in New-York or Tokyo. It’s in the air. Anyhow, it is my second time staying in the city and I always am happily surprised each time around.

Segment: The abundance of YOU: (part 1)

The amazing work of history and the providence by which humanity has grown since the prehistoric ages leave me hopeful and sometimes I can’t help but think that something went wrong right at the beginning of man’s apparition as a spiritual being. If that did happen, it is probably the cause behind the misery that plagues the world in ignorance and confusion right at the inception of our first establishments of societies. Today we live in a world somewhat comfortable but that can’t be said of every place on the planet. One important thing history can teach us: we human beings, we can make a difference. I will not elaborate too much on this segment report here but I will keep on the subject soon, telling you that you can actually set for your own fate if you only knew the one truth no one can deny, but no one has thought as invaluable enough to be the only fulfilling path to a life of achievements, for all with no exceptions.

The day started with Tokyo’s morning sun and ended in Nagoya, in the caring atmosphere of Takuya and his wonderful friends. I love traveling outside Tokyo from time to time and it is always a peaceful time. There is not much to say, except listening to the sounds of what’s really happening around. Today, I had the chance to meet Naoko Hiraiwa with her adorable children and yes it was then also an adorable time. I retired into the hotel to prepare for an early morning ride back to Tokyo and it was truly another moment of reflection. I can see the future through the future of our membership in Japan, being a community of people that stands open to the discovering of the world through the eyes of the Marine Foundation. I hope that the doors for Japan will open the opportunities of so many good adventures and eventually the set up of events that will mean good to the country. The day was filled with the revelation of meeting Aya Miki, who wearing a Kimono so fitted to the season and occasion, brought the atmosphere to grace and peace, as always friends of Takuya seem to permanently create.
