Dan & Silverwise, good points.
I watched it last night, well most of it. Havent made it right thru yet. Very mainstream stuff, just like "The Secret", great for those who've never thought these thoughts before. Otherwise I thought it was a bit of a drag. Escpecially the beginning.
You cannot fix a problem with the same mind that is the problem. That statement actually solves all the questions about "could man do it", "could we live side by side and share", "we'll still have evil", "don't want the govt taking everyones property and sharing it" etc etc.
At this time in our evolution, we're headed toward a brick wall, so to speak. The fiat crash of all crashes is building. We could all see that if we relaxed our fear. Ben & the boys are heading down a one way street, we can see that clearly. The crash is gonna come. And it needs to come. PM's will be our safety net for the dark years ahead. Many wont have a net, but hey, that's life. Shit happens to the best of us. We all participated in this culmination of power, greed and corruption/destruction.
I think we'll look back at it and think " boy, i didn't think it'd go that far, or that fast".
Now the main thrust is, that in our present state of mind, we couldn't enact a system like the Venus Project. I think that's just a precursor, a thought provoker for the fact that there has to be a better system out there for us to live and share this planet. There's gotta be a better way. We're intelligent beings. Zeitgeist & the like are just the beginnings of new ideas being thrown around.
Imagine what these new ideas and new voices are going to be like when the crash comes. After 6 months or 1 year of depression, and total economic collapse. There's gonna be food riots, anti-govt riots, anti-corporation riots etc. Times will be dark and tough.
And it's in these dark, tough times, that new ideas will flourish.
Movements like this one will mature, become more practical and more palatable to the masses.
But we as humans are still missing the point. Well most of us anyway. And you can tell by the threads of opinions in response to ideas like Zeitgeist & the Venus Project, there are still many that are missing the point.
Us humans cannot setup venus projects in our current state of mind. It just won't work. Whilst we still have the words "mine" and "yours" in our vocabulary, it WON'T work.
That's the next layer that's gotta be peeled off us humans. The idea of seperation from each other. That's the ultimate conn being played out now. And it too is starting to crumble.
Peter Joseph exposes our religious indoctrination, our money and market indoctrination, and how we've all been hoodwinked into believing many misconceptions about our world. Well the biggest misconception has still not been revealed. It's coming, slowly, but it's still an underground swell, yet to show it's presence.
We only have to look back to pre-white man invasion of lands like Australia. What's that, 250 years? Look at the race that lived here before us. Look at their "human nature".
No concept of yours or mine. No concept of him v me. No concept of me and nature. Their reality was that you cannot separate me from you, or us from earth, or earth from solar system. All is one organisim biologically connected and one intelligence mentally connected.
If there is no concept of owning something, because I am you and you are me, then there's also no concept of you have something I don't. If you have it, then so do I, because I am you and you are me. Sounds crazy, but it cannot be understood from a perspective of the mind. It must be seen (experienced), not thought.
The last great misconception to fall, and I think we need a total collapse for it to fall, is that we are separate from each other and from the earth we're born from. That misconception was the beginning of all the pain we're now suffering. It isn't markets, money, or governments to blame. It's the idea that we must compete, because we're separate from one another. Probably started by religion, who knows. Actually, the Bible explains it in the beginning. Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden ... why? .... because they chose to go with "good & evil" (duality) instead of "god" (unity). That's where the shit hit the fan.
We humans are more than just thinking beings wandering around this planet with no purpose other than to live, consume, experience and die. And if u believe in re-incarnation, then to keep doing it over and over again.
Pointless existence for such super intelligent beings.
There is an awakening coming. An awakening of the human to his real potential. The indigenous folk of the earth held onto this reality for as long as they could, until it was destroyed by "reasoning", "socialism", "individual rights" and "nations". etc etc.
A new law will be exposed. And there will only need to be one law. Our prophets through all "religions" have been espousing this law for a coupla thousand years, preparing us for it's coming. And the new law will say .... "if you do it to me, you do it to yourself". It's that simple. Once humans realise that if they hurt their neighbour, they hurt themself, or if they hurt the earth, they hurt themself, then things like the Venus Project's and whatever else comes along (cause we're very ingenious once we put our thinking caps on), will be very very easy to implement. And we'll welcome it like a new baby into the fold.
We're evolving. Have been since millenia. We're on the cusp of another revelation about ourselves. The awakening is coinciding with the destruction of the old. And destroy itself it will.
If you require more information about how I can be you, and you can be me, look up the likes of Eckart Tolle and multitudes of others. They'll show you how to find yourself. And when you find yourself, you discover that you don't actually exist afterall. That takes care of the me and you business. Neither actually exist. It was all a big con to set everyone against each other, and to setup the new emotions of greed, fear and hate. That's all this separation was designed to do. Pitch one man against another. And the stage was set for the situation we're in now. Great fear and panic of it all collapsing.
It's the perfect plan, and it's gonna work out just right. Evolution has it's ways of working things through.
I look forward to being in the dark days with you all, sitting on our PMs. Perhaps we'll have a short time of being the elite for a while. But we too, will embrace the change when it comes, because we know the old ways (current ways), aint gonna cut it for another thousand years.
Let's not just crash, to repeat the same mistakes again. One head bang against the wall is enough for me to wake up.
So Wake Up!
