Now folks, i want you to keep an open mind.
You know, i'm not asking you to believe this.
I'm sharing information with you.
If you choose not to believe it, hey that's fine.
I ask you to exercise your free will.
You can absolutely leave, I will not be offended.
I've already checked, none of these chairs have seat belts.
We're literally going to create our own demise.
Because we're buying into belief systems that say...
We ourselves are not mature enough
or grown up enough to take care of our own selves.
So we need somebody to come in here and take care of us.
And I'm not here to offend anybody, but really think about it.
Really think about what we've done and what our history has been.
We've been to this place so many times before...
and we still haven't gotten it right.
And we're still not going to get it right unless we do it as a race,
and just cut out all the crap.
And right now we have an opportunity, there is a window of time...
for us to break free, and we have to wake up.
PERIOD.
I find conditions as they are unacceptable.
And I find no threat in social change.
And people have to lose confidence in their elected leaders.
WE have to assume responsibility.
If not, I fear the consequences.
So what is the matter with us?
Why are we so perverse?
What is it that drives the inertia of these dominator systems?
Shouldn't we consider in every nation major changes in the traditional ways of doing things.
A Fundamental restructuring of economic, political, social, and religious institutions.
The Stupidity of a nuclear arms race
The development of weapons
Trying to solve your problems politically by electing this political party or that political party
That all politics is immersed in corruption
Let me say it again...That all Politics is immersed in Corruption.
Even the monetary system, it's just a belief system.
The only value is what we believe it is.
We can change that if we wanted to.
We're so intelligent we can create something different.
We have the brains, the know how, the technology, and the feasibility to build an entirely new civilization.
And it doesn't make any sense. Why are we so patient when our world, our children's world...
The world of all future life on earth hangs in the balance.
I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology
One in which we start to reconstitute our conception of our richness of human capacity
Our education system has mined our minds in the way we strip mine the earth for a particular commodity.
And for the future it won't service.
We have to rethink the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children.
We want to create a real future where our kids will have an opportunity to be whatever they want
To live in an environment that's clean, that's free, where they can have water to drink
And our task is to educate their whole being so they can face this future
By the way...
We may not see this future, but they will
and our job is to help them make something of it.
As long as we accept the temporary solution, the problem will go unsolved
It will be solved for you and me right now, but not for our children.
There are no negro problems, or polish problems, or jewish problems, or greek problems, or womens problems, they're HUMAN problems
Not an american problem or a negro problem
and as a human problem or a world problem
We feel that it should be taken out of the jurisdiction of the United States government and United States courts
And that's it! We need to stand up as a race, exercise our free will, and say we don't want to live this way anymore.
And this is what has to be done on a societal scale,
And it is not as difficult as we may wish to be assured by the establishment.
We talk about civilization as though it's a static state
and there are no civilized people yet, it's a process that is constantly going on
We're not civilized, it's an ongoing process.
As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime...
you are in the early stages of civilization, what they call civilization.
Until you realize you are symbiotically connected to nature
and that nature is an emergent process where you have to change constantly
Where you realize that you being dogmatic about any point of knowledge is inherently destructive.
Once you realize that, you can begin to see a different world.
Where this ego and bias all begin to fade, because there is no such thing as static knowledge or information.
See most people don't even understand how easily we're influenced by our environment
Every person we encounter, every single situation we are faced with, every little word that's said on television
May not seem to influential to our conscious mind, but your unconscious is
designed specifically to let every environmental signal influence you without your awareness
And yet here we are literally creating all this.
That's how powerful we are, that's how powerful our minds are.
Which is why there's been so much focus on brainwashing
On trying to make us victims, or believe that we're victims
Because the minute we wake up and take a step back detached, and see our situation for what it really is
they lost control, it ends there, the minute we awake.
We believe that our problem is one not a violation of civil rights, but a violation of human rights
not only are we denied the right to be a citizen in the United States
we're denied the right to be a human being.
The time is really coming, when people are going to have to stand up and be counted.
I think humanity is now in a what i call a final exam as whether we qualify to stay here
and I'm not talking about political leaders
I'm not talking about religion leaders
I'm talking about humanity
This is the most serious business that we can be about
This is what we were born to do
and I'm for one not ready to stand mute witness to that kind of an atrocity
We going to do this thing just as the automobile phased out the stage coach
Just as television stepped in and phased out the old vaudeville and the old motion pictures
that history and technology are respecters of no society
no individual opinion, but it moves on
and we got to be prepared to face the future.
And so it's possible to figure things out
We can do science and with it, we can improve our lives.
The application of the methods of science, not scientists.
The methods of science to the social system.
Naturally even the methods of science undergo change, and as they change
so would the future.
Now science has means of giving food, clothes, and shelter practically to everybody
So the point here is tremendously perverse misdirection of resources
A tremendous patience with institutions that have proven that they are either ineffective or actually the enemy.
So it comes back to people taking responsibility on what they think
what they want to believe,
and what it is they want to create.
So what is needed is...
an awakening.
A transformation of the mind.
And we are the generations, strange as it may seem when you survey the world today
We are the generations I passionately believe that we are going to love the world
into the paradise it really should be and was always designed to be.
Changing the world is not something in the future anymore
Oh I'll give you better for the kids...
It's Here and Now.
A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism,
and recognizes that an organism at war with itself...
is doomed.
We Are One Planet.
Why do you have to pay to live on a planet you were born on?
Now is the time, now is definitely the time to make some changes
and i know you guys are...
i know you are so dedicated that you made the time and put the resources together to come here
to hear the speakers
to make the changes within yourself
to share this stuff with your friends
and share the dvds
I know that.
We have an opportunity here to create a new paradigm.
A new domain of knowing.
It just takes leadership.
You are going to be the ones that are going to stand there in your communities and say look...
This is what has been going on, this is what it is, and this is what we have to do.
It's no accident that you are who you are.
