Re: New Zeitgeist film out today.
carl had his faults, I am not disagreeing with you but I think you need to reconsider your view of him. It is terribly one sided.
And yes, he was inspiring & profound : For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love. Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. In order to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out. Where we have strong emotions, we're liable to fool ourselves. |

Re: Zeitgeist Addendum**must see**
It was once again an excellent piece and very well done. Glad they brought to light the Venus Project and their vision. Just wish we could get the rest of the world to watch it so they can pull their heads out of their asses and do away with this monitary system and the criminals behind it.
Can you imagine what the rest of the Universe thinks of us? I can see my star brothers and sisters shaking their heads in disgust. |

Re: New Zeitgeist film out today.
he even said he thought panspermia was likely in cosmos. that comets could very likely be seeding life all over the universe.
he seems too informed to be as naive as he pretended to be. |

Re: New Zeitgeist film out today.
Guys, please keep this on topic, about the film directly.
My opinion: No other film has made me cry so many times, and I can't remember the last time I cried. This is the answer. This is the way forward. The way that we can live abundantly and in harmony, and practically. This isn't airy fairy new age nonense - this is the plan, the things we can start doing individually to make the change. |

Re: Zeitgeist Addendum**must see**
Of course its always a wonderful thing when someone uses Bill Hicks' comedy to drive home a point.
Really miss Bill...along with George Carlin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSH6ofHbeUw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J10w3FuCwfQ |

Re: New Zeitgeist film out today.
Thought I might interject before anyone starts duking it out that Mercury is retrograde and Mars and Pluto are in aspects that make miscommunication and hasty words almost irresistable. Something to keep in mind if it seems someone is 'coming at you'. Energies and emotions are really overamped right now with all the events of the hour anyway. I've seen people over-reacting on just about every thread (and have been snapped at several times myself over comments I thought had zero reactivation value).

Re: New Zeitgeist film out today.
I, for one, will admit that I was ignorant of the fractional reserve banking system and had to backtrack a few times to take notes for later review & comprehension.
Through the yrs I ran across bits & pcs but never had it portrayed in such a manner that is so easily understood. And I've not yet read one critical word on this thread that negates the portrayal of the system ! To me, this film was revolutionary in its presentation and we simply must be the ones to endure the transition, however ugly it may be! In the light of the present global economic crisis, it doesn't matter to me who put it out, nor what agenda might be behind it because the system has to GO... is responsible for the pain & suffering of the entire world. But I will say that it took a long time for this to be revealed, considering the pervasive use of the internet these days. Thank you Chris Parson for letting your take on Sagan fall to the wayside, as 1) your opinion of someone is none of my business 2) it's not required in life to like everyone 3) ad hominems do tell of intention. The 2nd half of the film gave the entire presentation its true value. Solution, vision, for without this, it's just another venting without direction. Here we stand, quite possibly facing a very ugly revolution... but it has to be. |

Highly Recommended--Watch Zeitgeist Addendum
Hello all,
I just finished watching Zeitgeist Addendum and feel a renewed sense of hope for our futures here on Earth. There can be NWO but not in the negative, slavery driven way intended by the Elite to control us but a global awakening of conciousness that all will benefit from. It is possile if we all stand together. The movie suggests ways of how to begin this positvie transformation. Please to all, watch the movie..It is a bit long but definitly worth it. "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds." Bob Marley IT STARTS NOW |

Re: Highly Recommended--Watch Zeitgeist Addendum
With a much lighter heart than I had a couple days ago, I concur.
This work (not really a documentary, more of an art piece) is one of the most awesome new media creations I've ever watched. It's about SOLUTIONS. This can work. We can do this! |

Re: Highly Recommended--Watch Zeitgeist Addendum
Here I have yet another post
The film introduces this project, which I had never heard of. Now I want to work on the front lines, in whatever way possible. The Venus Project |

My Grandchildren were "Blown Away" with Jacques and Roxanne's Venus Project
Jacques Fresco, and Roxanne Meadows, who are featured in ZII, wrote the book: The Best That Money Can't Buy. They built a Model of their vision in Venus, Florida, near Okeechobee. [URL="www.thevenusproject.com"]
We took our grandchildren, 8 and 12 at the time, for a visit. Jacques sat us down in front of a model of his perfect world. He talked about organizing society to meet the needs of the people, for shelter and food and transportation, for education and recreation, time for family and community and travel. As he talked, Jacques illustrated by manipulating the robots and digging out the canals or showing a family sitting in front of a computer choosing and furnishing their home. Even the 8-year old was so enthralled he sat still and hung onto every word. Roxanne then escorted us around the 25 acres where the domes they built themselves replicated the IA homes envisioned. It was easy to imagine everyday life with survival taken care of, with music, drama, art, or time to check out a kayak or a skateboard or a computer. It seemed so simple, why weren't we living this way now? Our grandkids could discuss the ideas with depth and intelligence after spending two hours with Jacques and Roxanne. All the way home, we talked about how we could live in a world without the need for jobs and money and business and profits. Now, my Granddaughter struggles to pay for insurance and fuel for her vehicle by working after school at Winn-Dixie. Tired to her toes, working for peanuts, does she dream radical dreams of a fair and sane future? Is she the generation that will Just Say No to Wage-Slavery? Zeitgeist II makes it easy for me to stir the pot so that her discontent builds. Isn't it fun, creating this new world with delicious anticipation? This chaos signals that our time is at hand. |

Sadly, there is no contact page on the website ... Maybe we should get inspired about starting something like this ourselves scattered all over the world. Boy have I failed so far ... that's why I originally moved to this place almost 5 years ago. I started a few things but not close to something like this. The feeling is there though and the inspiration too ... man did this film awake me ! (on this front) |
