1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,718
God?

2
00:00:01,718 --> 00:00:05,828
Since antiquity, great religious and secular philosophers alike

3
00:00:05,828 --> 00:00:08,150
have constantly advocated peaceful

4
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:10,472
unified ideals for Humanity.

5
00:00:11,355 --> 00:00:14,118
One glance at society today makes one wonder

6
00:00:14,118 --> 00:00:16,718
why the idea of universally valuing

7
00:00:16,718 --> 00:00:18,715
and respecting your fellow human being

8
00:00:18,715 --> 00:00:21,595
and working together, has never taken root.

9
00:00:22,152 --> 00:00:25,217
I think I was on Larry King about 4 times.

10
00:00:25,217 --> 00:00:29,350
And he said to me, "Jacque, what do you think of Christianity?"

11
00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:31,208
I said, "It's a wonderful idea."

12
00:00:31,208 --> 00:00:33,808
"When are they putting it into practice?"

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:35,001
.

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,938
Being a Christian, in behavior,

15
00:00:39,938 --> 00:00:41,076
is very rare.

16
00:00:41,076 --> 00:00:44,141
People seem to behave in contradictory ways.

17
00:00:44,141 --> 00:00:48,739
They weren't warm or they did not personify the teachings of Christ

18
00:00:48,739 --> 00:00:49,435
or Buddha

19
00:00:49,435 --> 00:00:50,527
or Moses.

20
00:00:50,527 --> 00:00:54,242
None of them seem to personify that kind of teaching.

21
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:57,585
The Bible is subject to interpretation.

22
00:00:57,585 --> 00:01:01,347
When you read it, you say, "I think Jesus meant this."

23
00:01:01,347 --> 00:01:03,181
"I think Job meant that."

24
00:01:03,181 --> 00:01:04,923
"Oh no, he meant this."

25
00:01:04,923 --> 00:01:07,570
So you have the Lutherans, the Seventh-Day Adventists

26
00:01:07,570 --> 00:01:08,708
the Catholics

27
00:01:09,172 --> 00:01:12,980
and a Church divided is no church at all.

28
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:16,649
And a Church divided is no church at all.

29
00:01:17,044 --> 00:01:19,389
And those Christians that really believe

30
00:01:19,389 --> 00:01:23,336
in setting up a world which is the brotherhood of Humanity

31
00:01:23,336 --> 00:01:27,005
you have to get them to join The Zeitgeist Movement

32
00:01:27,005 --> 00:01:30,906
to carry out the teachings of all religions.

33
00:01:30,906 --> 00:01:34,714
In order to eliminate most of the problems

34
00:01:34,714 --> 00:01:36,804
that exist today,

35
00:01:36,804 --> 00:01:39,080
we have to declare the Earth

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,402
and all its resources

37
00:01:41,402 --> 00:01:46,092
as the common heritage of all the world's people.

38
00:01:46,092 --> 00:01:49,064
Jesus said: "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven."

39
00:01:49,064 --> 00:01:51,827
And that's the way we see the Resource-Based Economy.

40
00:01:51,827 --> 00:01:53,197
Or The Venus Project.

41
00:01:53,197 --> 00:01:56,402
That you can create all your spiritual aspirations

42
00:01:56,402 --> 00:01:58,631
but make it a reality.

43
00:01:58,631 --> 00:02:03,739
Not going to church, and sing all day long. Do things!

44
00:02:03,739 --> 00:02:07,013
Jesus said, "By their works, ye shall know them."

45
00:02:07,013 --> 00:02:10,032
All they talk about has no meaning at all.

46
00:02:10,193 --> 00:02:13,445
It is time to stop talking about our supposed

47
00:02:13,445 --> 00:02:15,326
humanistic and religious ideals

48
00:02:15,326 --> 00:02:17,834
and actually work to make them happen.

00:02:33,182 --> 00:02:37,640
what all those people who have desire for higher consciousness.

54
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,777
How do you do that? How do you achieve that?

55
00:02:39,777 --> 00:02:43,561
How do you achieve a world without war and crime and bigotry?

56
00:02:47,035 --> 00:02:51,386
Human beings think that they're the greatest creation of nature.

57
00:02:51,386 --> 00:02:53,128
They're spiritual beings.

58
00:02:53,128 --> 00:02:55,171
They put themselves on a pedestal.

59
00:02:55,171 --> 00:02:57,726
And they're the ones that are poisoning the air.

60
00:02:57,726 --> 00:03:00,071
Killing each other, in the name of God.

61
00:03:00,071 --> 00:03:02,671
"Do you believe in my God? No?" Boom.

62
00:03:02,671 --> 00:03:04,808

of managing this wonderful gift of nature, the Earth.

69
00:03:41,542 --> 00:03:44,119
Water. All the wonderful things that we have.

70
00:03:44,119 --> 00:03:45,791
And we have to take care of the Earth.

71
00:03:45,791 --> 00:03:49,274
We have to assume responsibility.

72
00:03:50,517 --> 00:03:53,407
Religion doesn't work. It never did.

73
00:03:53,546 --> 00:03:56,936
Religious people kill. They get angry. They're jealous.

74
00:03:56,936 --> 00:03:59,885
They go to church, and they pray.

75
00:04:00,489 --> 00:04:03,415
That isn't what Jesus did. He went around helping people.

76
00:04:03,415 --> 00:04:05,783
He associated with bums, beggars

77
00:04:05,783 --> 00:04:08,291
prostitutes, the down-trodden.

78
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,259
Human beings have lived this way

79
00:04:14,259 --> 00:04:17,067
for millennia upon millennia.

80
00:04:17,067 --> 00:04:19,065
Why haven't they changed?

81
00:04:19,065 --> 00:04:22,618
Why haven't you, who are listening now,

82
00:04:22,618 --> 00:04:24,615
why haven't you changed?

83
00:04:24,615 --> 00:04:27,006
You know if you don't change

84
00:04:27,006 --> 00:04:29,096
what the consequences are?

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,602
Fighting, fighting, fighting.

86
00:04:33,067 --> 00:04:36,457
Bringing up more and more armaments to destroy each other.

87
00:04:37,750 --> 00:04:43,005
Now, why don't you, if you are at all serious in this matter,

88
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:45,884
why don't you ask yourself that question?

89
00:04:45,884 --> 00:04:48,461
Why am I, a human being

90
00:04:48,461 --> 00:04:52,548
who have been through all this, why haven't I changed?

91
00:04:52,548 --> 00:04:55,056
What would be your answer?

92
00:04:55,822 --> 00:04:58,005
Either you're not serious

93
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,697
you want to live a very, very superficial life.

94
00:05:03,299 --> 00:05:08,338
And that superficiality temporarily satisfies you.

95
00:05:09,174 --> 00:05:11,914
Or, you really don't care.

96
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,768
As long as you have immediate pleasures,

97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,228
immediate satisfactions,

98
00:05:19,228 --> 00:05:20,993
you really don't care.

99
00:05:21,898 --> 00:05:25,985
How can you find out what a religious life is, when you're blind?

100
00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:31,651
A Resource-Based Economy puts into practice

101
00:05:31,651 --> 00:05:34,298
everything the great religious and philosophic teachers

102
00:05:34,298 --> 00:05:36,039
have always talked about, in regard

103
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:38,500
to humans embracing each other as their own.

104
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:42,912
And working together in mutual respect as a single human family.

105
00:05:42,912 --> 00:05:46,488
What we need is a true change of consciousness.

106
00:05:46,488 --> 00:05:49,925
Where we understand the interrelationship between all of us.

107
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:52,015
People ask me, "How long will it take

108
00:05:52,015 --> 00:05:53,965
to make the world a beautiful place?"

109
00:05:53,965 --> 00:05:56,542
It is not up to me, it's up to you.

110
00:05:56,542 --> 00:05:58,005
What you do out there.

111
00:05:58,005 --> 00:06:01,513
If you do nothing, nothing will happen.

112
00:06:24,128 --> 00:06:27,332
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren

113
00:06:27,332 --> 00:06:31,279
and to do good is my religion. -Thomas Paine
