Quote:The Venus Project advocates an alternative vision for a sustainable new world civilization unlike any social system that has gone before. Although this description is highly condensed, it is based upon years of study and experimental research by many, many people from many scientific disciplines.This is from the website.
We propose a fresh, holistic approach - one that is dedicated to human and environmental concerns. It is an attainable vision of a bright and better future, one that is appropriate to the times in which we live, and both practical and feasible for a positive future for all the world's people.
The Venus Project calls for a straightforward approach to the redesign of a culture, in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt, environmental degradation and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but totally unacceptable.
One of the basic premises of The Venus Project is that we work towards having all of the Earth's resources as the common heritage of all the world's people. Anything less will simply result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in the present system.
I have to say 100% agree with the bolded statement. I view age-old war, poverty, hunger, debt, environmental degradation and unnecessary suffering as unacceptable.
This is something that I dislike about the Ra material. With the emphasis on acceptance being the STO path, it gives an excuse for people to ignore the vast inequities and suffering in our civilization on the basis of acceptance. Acceptance as part of a grieving process maybe, meaning we can't change the horrors of history, but acceptance of the status quo is just unenlightened. And since those on the STO path are here to be light, here to be creators it behooves us to pay attention to our own thoughts with regard to acceptance.
Many are called to help catalyze this necessary transformation and change on planet earth. Are we heeding the call?
