The Goal

We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the advocation 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 Current System

We live in a society that produces scarcity. The consequence of this is that human beings must behave in self-preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want. The monetary system REWARDS scarcity, waste, pollution, and overproduction.

What Must Be Done

We must begin to transition out of these oppressive ideals and move towards a system which is designed to support human beings...not force them to fight in order to survive. Our current methods of social conduct have proven to have no chance in resolving the problems of environmental destruction, human conflict, poverty, corruption, or any other issue the reduces the possibility of collective human sustainability on our planet. The bottom line is that in order to change things for the better fundamentally, you must begin to address the root causes. We have to start somewhere. The most important step is education.

The Venus Project

Consisting of the life work of social engineer Jacque Fresco, The Venus Project constitutes the application of the scientific method for social concern. Through the humane application of Science and Technology to social design and decision-making, we have the means to transform our tribalistic, scarcity driven, corruption filled environment into something exceeding more organized, balanced, humane, sustainable, and productive.

MSU Initiative / NEXT MEETING September 18th

Friends,


It is to my delight to say that this last Saturday's endeavor of spreading awareness throught MSU and East Lansing was quite a success. Things didn't work out entirely as planned, however things we much better than expected. One there was the football game, so there were people everywhere. So instead of setting up a table, a group of us walked through MSU campus and the stores along Grand River in East Lansing handing out DVD's, putting pamphlets on windshield wipers, and putting flyers up in the stores. And as I had expected, we had run into a few individuals who had heard of the movement and support it. With hope, they will be onboard with us. I would very much like to do this again in the near future. If you want to be involved in the movement, you have to do your part. Like Jacque Fresco says, "If you do nothing about it, I guarentee you that nothing will happen."

With that said, I have the next meeting scheduled for Saturday, September 18th. Again at 1:00 PM at MSU Union's Main Lounge. We found out, this last Saturday, that the Union is set up for people who want to watch the game. But there are some tables off to the right when you walk into the main lounge we can meet. I think that having the meeting out in the open will draw some attention for us. But that's only going to be effective, it we have everybody there. So if you are on this email list, please make it out. If you are not on the email list, then email me at zeitmidmich@gmail.com.

A few things that I think should be discussed for the next meeting:
-Debrief of last Satuday

-Future Initiatives

-Recognized Student Organizations at MSU, LCC, and any other schools

-The NEW Website and all its content

-Ways of becoming more personally active with the movement

-Ways of creating awareness

-Michigan Energy Options (If you have time during the week to visit this place, please do. We need to find out what these people can

do get someone competely off the grid. They are located at 405 Grove St. in East Lansing (Right around

the corner from the Library). You can also visit their website at http://www.michiganenergyoptions.org/.)

-New media (If you can make DVD's for the movement, we need them. We went throught our whole supply this last Saturday.)
If there is something that is on your mind that isnt on this list, then email me at zeitmidmich@gmail.com and/or come to the next meeting on the 18th.
Peace,

C.B.
