The Zeitgeist Movement is not a
political movement. It does not recognize nations, governments, races,
religions, creeds or class. Our understandings conclude that these are
false, outdated distinctions which are far from positive factors for
true collective human growth and potential. Their basis is in power
division and stratification, not unity and equality, which is our goal.
While it is important to understand that everything in life is a natural
progression, we must also acknowledge the reality that the human
species has the ability to drastically slow and paralyze progress,
through social structures which are out of date, dogmatic, and hence out
of line with nature itself. The world you see today, full of war,
corruption, elitism, pollution, poverty, epidemic disease, human rights
abuses, inequality and crime is the result of this paralysis.
This
movement is about awareness, in avocation of a fluid evolutionary
progress, both personal, social, technological and spiritual. It
recognizes that the human species is on a natural path for unification,
derived from a communal acknowledgment of fundamental and near empirical
understandings of how nature works and how we as humans fit into/are a
part of this universal unfolding we call life. While this path does
exist, it is unfortunately hindered and not recognized by the great
majority of humans, who continue to perpetuate outdated and hence
degenerative modes of conduct and association. It is this intellectual
irrelevancy which the Zeitgeist Movement hopes to overcome through education and social action.
The
goal is to revise our world society in accord with present day
knowledge on all levels, not only creating awareness of social and
technological possibilities many have been conditioned to think
impossible or against "human nature", but also to provide a means to
overcome those elements in society which perpetuate these outdated
systems.
An important association, upon which many of the ideas
of this movement are derived come from an organization called " The
Venus Project" directed by social engineer and industrial designer,
Jacque Fresco. He has worked nearly his entire life to create the tools
needed to assist a design of the world which could eventually eradicate
war, poverty, crime, social stratification and corruption. His notions
are not radical or complex. They do not impose a subjective
interpretation in their formation. In this model, society is created as a
mirror of nature, with the variables predefined, inherently.
The movement itself is not a centralized construct.
We are not here to lead, but to organize and educate.
