We are forced to think “sterilized = clean,” but there’s a special bath out there filled with MACOMO bacteria and other microbes. Its water has been circulating for 80 years—no rot, no bad smells! This isn’t a miracle. It’s a big truth we often talks about: what keeps life going is harmony, not control. The bath’s secret isn’t “no bacteria”—it’s that microbes work together like a family, and MACOMO is the “link that turns chaos into order.”​

1. Rot Isn’t Caused by Bacteria—It’s Caused by “Bad Teamwork”​

We’ve been taught to fear bacteria, but rotting or stinky water isn’t because bacteria exist. It’s because they’re out of balance. Think: if you sterilize water completely, you kill ALL microbes—including the “good” ones that break down waste and the “guardians” that stop harmful bacteria. This leaves a “lifeless vacuum.” Then, the bad bacteria (the ones that cause rot and smell) move in with no one to stop them. They feed on dead skin and oils in the water—and boom, rot happens!​

But this 80-year bath is different. It’s like a tiny Earth ecosystem: different bacteria have jobs. Some “eat garbage” (turning dead skin into harmless nutrients), others “watch the bad guys” (keeping harmful bacteria in check). And MACOMO? It’s the “team-mate” that keeps everyone from falling apart.​

2. MACOMO: The “Peacemaker” of the Microbe World​

MACOMO is actually a type of bacteria called Bacillus subtilis ON-1. It’s not a “killer” of bad bacteria—it’s a peacemaker! It has a superpower: a “protective shell” (Our Japanese scientists say it’s like a turtle’s shell). This shell lets it survive extensive temperature changes, low oxygen, and harsh conditions that kill other microbes. Here’s how it keeps the balance:​

It doesn’t steal food. Some bacteria push others out to get food, but MACOMO helps the “garbage-eating” microbes thrive. It even adjusts the water’s pH to help them break down waste faster.​

It calms chaos. Harmful bacteria love empty spaces with no other microbes. MACOMO fills those spaces gently and sends signals like, “This isn’t a place for you to overgrow.” It doesn’t fight—it just keeps things stable.​

It’s tough as nails. For 80 years, its “shell” has stayed active, making sure the microbe team never breaks up. You don’t need to dominate—you just need to coexist in harmony to last.​

3. Sterilization Is “Control”—The Bath Teaches “Teamwork”​

We love to “control nature”—sterilize, kill, wipe things out—because we think it keeps us safe. But the bath proves this is an illusion:​

Sterilization breaks the “life cycle.” When you kill all bacteria, you lose the “garbage-eaters.” Waste piles up, and bad bacteria come back stronger. You end up in a loop: “sterilize → rot → sterilize again.”​

The bath’s magic is “teamwork.” Microbes aren’t “working for the bath”—they’re working with it. MACOMO isn’t a “plumber fixing the water”—it partners with other microbes to make the water clean itself. This is the same truth Corey shares about cosmic civilizations: we don’t need to control the universe—we just need to collaborate with it.​

4. The Spiritual Lesson: We’re Part of the “Microbe Team” Too​

This bath isn’t just about water—it’s about how we live. We’re often scared of “different things” (like bacteria, nature, or even the imperfect parts of ourselves). But the 80-year cycle shows: diversity = strength. MACOMO is a perfect example: it doesn’t need to be “the strongest” or “the best.” It just needs to “be in the right place and stay balanced.”​

For anyone trying to grow or improve, this is key: our bodies, our planet, and our cosmic community thrive when we choose harmony over control. We’re not separate from microbes—we’re part of their team, just like they’re part of ours.​

Let’s Think:​

Have you ever felt empty (not safe) after cleaning or sterilizing your home too much? The 80-year bath’s story is a reminder: feel and trust the power of balance.
