The Zeitgeist/Venus movement's main discordance is, in my opinion, putting technology above spirituality. I'm not sure if they really think that way or it just seems so, but there's too much of this "technology is THE most important..." propaganda, at the cost of something that I think should come first.

Simple example. Imagine a society that is spiritually very advanced but has little technology. They will live in poorer conditions maybe, but they will live in peace and be happy and they will enjoy life.

Now imagine a society that is technologically very advanced but lacks spirituality. It's a total disaster, the current elite is pretty much an example of that. You have the capability for global genocide and no moral safety lock to stop you from executing it.

So, even if the Venus Project technological vision was realized, without humanity advancing spiritually it wouldn't solve as much as it thinks it would. It would work for the creators of it, it would work for the Zeitgeist people, it would probably work for this forum's members, but most people are still used to think in ways of abusing anything to their advantage. And I'm not even talking about the elite who will do anything to destroy the project.

I am all for the Zeitgeist movement and Project Venus, but before educating people on technology, we need to educate people on spirituality, because in it is the understanding of how everything works, not in technology. And without understanding, the system can't sustain itself.

Technology on its own won't bring a solution, especially with the elite still in power. They already have all the advanced technology and they won't hesitate to use it against us if they feel a threat to their power. They're not afraid of us having hi-tech machines. But they are scared of us really understanding what's going on and advancing spiritually. Their goals of keeping us poor are far behind their goals of keeping us dumb and asleep. If we learn to use all the potential we have as human beings, they will have no power over us.

Remember when in The Matrix Neo realizes how it works and suddenly even bullets can't touch him? That's a good parallel. When we reach that point, then we can use technology, but using it without deeper understanding of the spiritual forces of the Universe won't get us far.
