1
00:00:01,710 --> 00:00:04,127
You've got to know

2
00:00:04,267 --> 00:00:09,000
when you take up this kind of thinking, you will be abused.

3
00:00:10,111 --> 00:00:14,573
I told that to Roxanne. "You're more apt to be abused

4
00:00:14,713 --> 00:00:19,522
upholding the values that I talk about. Do you want to get out?"

5
00:00:19,662 --> 00:00:22,832
Anybody that comes to my sessions I tell them

6
00:00:22,972 --> 00:00:27,348
"You will lose contact with this world. You will learn to dislike it.

7
00:00:27,488 --> 00:00:32,474
You will be beaten by police if you march and protest the war."

8
00:00:32,904 --> 00:00:34,922
And they will win

9
00:00:35,062 --> 00:00:39,448
because they have control of the weapons, stinging equipment.

10
00:00:39,588 --> 00:00:43,983
They control everything, the radio, and make you look like a bastard.

11
00:00:44,123 --> 00:00:47,985
When you're released, your own people will beat you up

12
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:50,978
the un-appointed guardians I'm talking about

13
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:53,779
or the self-appointed guardians

14
00:00:53,919 --> 00:00:58,362
or those that were persuaded to uphold this system.

15
00:00:59,596 --> 00:01:02,524
Jesus says "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven"

16
00:01:02,664 --> 00:01:06,785
and that's the way we see the Resource-Based Economy or The Venus Project:

17
00:01:06,925 --> 00:01:09,883
that you can create all your spiritual aspirations

18
00:01:10,023 --> 00:01:12,630
but make it a reality.

19
00:01:13,194 --> 00:01:15,863
That's what we're trying to do.

20
00:01:16,003 --> 00:01:18,479
People say "Is there life after death?"

21
00:01:18,619 --> 00:01:22,177
but we think for so many people, there isn't life during life

22
00:01:22,317 --> 00:01:25,802
that they take on old values that have been handed down to them.

23
00:01:25,942 --> 00:01:30,313
They take on old aspirations of their parents and their parents' parents

24
00:01:30,453 --> 00:01:33,943
and live a life that has been lived hundreds of years ago.

25
00:01:35,057 --> 00:01:39,517
They used to pull kids into the army. They'd take the children.

26
00:01:39,657 --> 00:01:42,860
That would be all right if they paid for the baby's birth

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,817
and they fed the baby all the way up to he's 18

28
00:01:45,957 --> 00:01:48,074
and said "Now you have to join the army"

29
00:01:48,214 --> 00:01:50,774
but mothers and individuals pay for their kids.

30
00:01:50,914 --> 00:01:53,077
They take them through illnesses and everything else

31
00:01:53,217 --> 00:01:55,652
then the government takes them from them

32
00:01:55,792 --> 00:01:58,051
and says "That's the price you pay for freedom."

33
00:01:58,191 --> 00:02:02,051
That's bullshit. It's the price you pay to support the established system.

34
00:02:02,712 --> 00:02:04,855
We can house people. We can clothe people.

35
00:02:04,995 --> 00:02:07,349
We can have abundance all over the world

36
00:02:07,489 --> 00:02:11,292
if we use our technology wisely and maintain the environment.

37
00:02:11,432 --> 00:02:15,339
We don't have to chisel off of one another. When in a monetary system

38
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:18,088
somebody gets a toothache, they make a thousand bucks.

39
00:02:18,228 --> 00:02:21,919
Somebody dents a car, they make another two thousand bucks.

40
00:02:22,059 --> 00:02:25,666
We're vultures after one another. We don't really need to live that way

41
00:02:25,806 --> 00:02:30,455
because today, with the advent of technology and where technology's going

42
00:02:30,595 --> 00:02:33,617
it could be used to improve everyone's lifestyle

43
00:02:33,757 --> 00:02:36,277
in a Resource-Based Economy.

44
00:02:36,718 --> 00:02:40,972
I wish we did have a democracy. I wish it could exist

45
00:02:41,112 --> 00:02:44,724
and maybe that's why I became better informed

46
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:48,403
because I was checking out to see if we had a democratic system.

47
00:02:48,543 --> 00:02:51,807
I found out we didn't, OK?
