About Me

Paul Abela

One fish says to the other fish, ‘how’s the water today’? To which the other fish replies, ‘what water’? The fish has no perception there is any water. My blog aims to question preconceived ideas of our reality, to help humanity make a leap into a different fishbowl, and a different way of doing things.
