that The Zeitgeist Movement really operates on multiple levels

and we need to figure out ways to increase those levels.

Let's assume for a moment that we could never obtain

a resource-based economy - hypothetic. Let's assume for a moment

that that's just not going to happen.

Does that mean the values of the Movement are not applicable?

Does that mean that

promoting the idea that we should relate things to physical referents,

to the planet, and using science

can't be also utilized in ... detached ways?

Does that mean the philosophy of taking everything into account

and understanding peoples' indoctrinations and what generates aberrant behavior,

does that mean all of that information is thrown out the window

if we can not obtain a Resource-Based Economy?

The point at hand is that we're shaping behavior all the time.

And even if we affect one person in a way

that enlightens their worldview to see each other more as equals,

to see the need to be sustainable with a direct physical referent,

to listen to the natural world and appreciate what

the beauty of science has to offer about ... the world we live in,

about how we view the world.

If we can simply get one person to take that view,

I think we've hit a unique accomplishment.

So keep that in mind a little bit

when you think about what your involvement in the Movement actually is.

Realize that it's a multi-faceted position of influence.

There is no ... endgame. It's not just "Ooh, a Resource-Based Economy!"

We're doing something of a cultural significance

that I think is deeply profound and transitional

in our educational processes.

And, this is probably self-evident to most of you out there,

but I feel the need to state it. So there it is.
