The Venus Project - The Redesign of a Culture

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the avocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually.

The central insights of this awareness is the recognition of the Emergent and Symbiotic elements of natural law and how aligning with these understandings as the bedrock of our personal and social institutions, life on earth can and will flourish into a system which will continuously grow in a positive way, where negative social consequences, such as social stratification, war, biases, elitism and criminal activity will be constantly reduced and, idealistically, eventually become nonexistent within the spectrum of human behavior itself.

Allow Your Intuition to Make Life Easier and More Fun

On Monday, Ken and Karen were given until Friday to decide whether or not they wanted to transfer to a new department at work. Each morning, the dark circles under Ken’s eyes were more prominent. By Friday morning, he was so worried and weary that his voice trembled slightly when he asked for an extension of the deadline, “I’m exhausted. There are so many things to think about.  I can’t figure out which decision to make.”

Karen’s work situation was virtually identical to Ken’s. Their personal responsibilities and support networks were so similar that they had instantly bonded as coworkers.  Even though Karen had been given the same pressing deadline to make a decision, she showed no evidence of stress.  Apparently, her decision-making was quick and easy.  On Wednesday morning, she informed the supervisor with a confident voice and a thumbs-up sign, “The best choice is clear to me. I’m ready to make the transfer.”

The 7 Tenets to Successful Entrepreneurship

Friday, October 17th, 2008

I’m convinced that the craziest thing you could ever do in this life is to become an entrepreneur. Your family and friends will wonder why you insist on being different and difficult. They’ll ponder why you refuse to do what everyone else is doing and won’t get a “real” job. They want you to stop playing around, settle down and ‘get with the program.’ Besides, it’s for your own good, you know. They know what’s best for you since you obviously don’t.

I know you don’t want to hear this, but to some degree they’re right. You might be a tad crazy, but don’t let that get you down. That’s exactly what you need to survive this adventure.

6 Actions For Creating a Sustainable Global Society

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

How very important it is to bring about in the human mind the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness, a crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. Considering what the world is now with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression and so on – man is still as he was, is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive and has built a society along these lines.” Krisnamurti

The following text is taken from the movie “Zeitgeist Addendum“, which is free to watch and share on the Internet. It is one of the most profound documentaries I have ever seen.
