Zeitgeist is not a philosophical, humanitarian, peaceful or ecological movement
The Zeitgeist Movement is all these together.
Through time, a lot of movements show up, and they still do now, that seek the social change.
The proposal of the Zeitgeist Movement has to do with the redefinition of our culture and our civilization in general.
Because our nature is limited, that's what the most religions say, we cannot understand god fully.
It has little importance the who and why has created us,
Since somebody for some reason created us, what do we do afterwards?
Today human, in order to cover his basic needs,
like alimentation, housing, education, health, has to work.
In a society like we dream of, people, of course, will not work.
The question is, what will they do?
(Human Needs) They can be solved using technology
Technology exists to be solved
The issue is that there is a stopper,
The monetary system.
In which, solutions are trying to be applied,
and "it" puts obstacles
Money puts obstacles.
They say: "There is not enough money to build this etc"
Solutions that could offer greatly to society.
So, what we have to change is the system and our values,
the way we use technology,
because we are left behind it as a society.
Usually, we call it that as "Cultural Lag"
It is important in a society,
someone to collect the garbage, for instance,
However,from the moment we have the technology,
I don't understand why human has to do that.
They will be concerned about their companion,
which today, as society has become,
the new couples at most,
reach to the point of communicating with messages they leave in the refrigerator.
"Baby wash the dishes"
"Tomorrow is your turn to cook"
Something like that.
They will have time to concern about their children.
Children today, rightly or wrongly, are neglected.
Father is working to catch up the problems,
mother is running with her career,
so the little child either is going to stuck in front of the TV
or be occupied with the video-game,
and the only think it will not have?
The hug of the mommy, or the caress of the father.
As concept, criminality, in a Venus Project society, will not exist.
It won't be there.
It is important, to reach at a critical mass.
A first difference (with other movements) is that we do not follow some enlightened leader,
that presents us with a solution.
We, ourselves are crafting the solution.
We follow suggestions, we make proposals, and we participate in the whole process.
We are not simple fans of an idea.
We become ourselves firstly, the change we want to see in the world.
Education is the foundation stone, of an ideal society.
In current system, we are trained basically, to support system itself.
That is, to find a job, to create money, to spend money.
We do not acquire critical thinking from this education
Our genes do not define fully, our character.
What defines our character is the environment, and the stimulants that we are receiving from it.
So, I believe that our society "shapes" competition.
Redefines the concept of culture, the concept of civilization, in how things should be, and they are not.
Maybe reality is not how they show it to us.
maybe there is something else behind.
It is not only what you see, people and situations.
Today we possess the technology to free people from labor.
They will have the time to read, educate, become better persons,
to offer more to other people that have their need.
The society of Venus Project, from its creation and thereafter,
will have this problem solved,
of criminality, of corruption and all other problems we are facing in our current society,
as we live today.
The purpose of the movement is to transit from a Money-Based Economy, as we live today with all its problems,
which mostly are created out of money itself,
to a society where the economy is based directly to the earth's resources.
The Venus Project
And another basic difference,
is that we stop to blame everyone else for our problems,
and start to "see" it through our selves,
and demand from ourselves certain things,
and we become the change we want to see in the world.
We don't want to fight the system, we want to overcome it.
Since we all are the system, it is absurd,
to want to fight ourselves and to see them as an enemy.
One of these solutions, is money to not exist.
Basic cause of criminality, is money.
All are based there.
In the foundations of the Zeitgeist Movement, that thing is
the equality, the love,
We have to have an ideology, to share.
As a movement and as an idea, an ideology,
it has to do nothing either with democracy, nor with...
any other process of decision making.
Any human that will be born in any other country,
in Egypt, in Germany, in Canada, anywhere,
has no significant difference from us all.
That's in our nature.
To explore, and to process everything around us, and to see how we can use them.
Competition is something that we spread.
The reason that there are still borders and countries,
is simply to divide the humanity.
All the babies I have personally see in my life,
I show none to ask for money,
but they only ask for love, companionship, food.
babies do not take money for granted.
We consider it so,
because we, simply, created it.
We want a humanity (society)
where solidarity, teamwork, and cooperation will reign.
Human always lived in a society of lack,
and the money was necessary to regulate transactions in such system.
Where is the reassurance that our children will have a good, happy and comfortable life?
Since we can eliminate that lack,
I think that we do not need the money.
because we do not need any transactions to take place.
I think that, the abolition of money
and the scarcity,
the state in which we do not have things, we lack of things, scarcity,
the support of the scientific method,
and above all the trust in the kindness of people,
is the solution.
The synthesis of two opinions in such process,
is advised and is used inside the movement,
because, there is no other way uncorrelated with the current system,
and in the decision making process.
To close, I will mention a phrase in an article that I've read.
In a point it mentioned
"Only when the last tree is burned, only when the last river is polluted, and only when the last fish is dead,
only then, human will understand that he cannot eat money."
