Zeitgeist Quote

"The population suffers from a fear of change, for their conditioning assumes a static identity, and challenging ones belief system, usually results in insult and apprehension, for being wrong is erroneously associated with failure. When, if fact, to be proven wrong should be a celebrated, for it is elevating someone to a new level of understanding, furthering awareness. The fact is, there is no such thing as a smart human being, for it is merely a matter of time before their ideas are updated, changed or eradicated. And this tendency to blindly hold on to a belief system, sheltering it from new, possibly transforming information, is nothing less than a form of intellectual materialism."

Life is Just a Ride - Bill Hicks (subtitulado)

The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people.

'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.'

It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that - ever notice that? - and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over - not one human being excluded - and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.

Revolucion radical - Jiddu Krishnamurti

‎"Lo que hemos tratado de hacer con toda esta discusión y charla es ver que podemos brindar una radical transformación de la mente. No aceptar las cosas como son. Sino que entender, que ir dentro, examinar, darle a tu corazón y a tu mente todo lo que tienen, para encontrar que nosotros vivimos de forma diferente. Pero depende de ti, no de alguien más. Porque en esto no hay un maestro, no hay un alumno, no hay un líder, no hay un guru, no hay un salvador. Tu mismo eres el profesor, el alumno, eres el maestro, eres el líder, eres todo. Entender, es transformar lo que es..." Jiddu Krishnamurti

Technology - Zeitgeist Addendum

“It’s not politicians that can solve problems. They have no technical capabilities. They don’t know how to solve problems. Even if they were sincere, they don’t know how to solve problems. It’s the technicians that produce the desalinization plants. It’s the technicians that give you electricity…that give you motor vehicles, that heat your house… and cool it in the summertime. It’s technology that solves problems, not politics. Politics cannot solve problems, because they are not trained to do so.

Very few people today stop and consider what it is that actually improves their lives. Is it money? Obviously not… One cannot eat money or stuff money into their car to get it to run… is it politics? – All politicians can do is create laws, establish budgets and declare war. Is it religion? Of course not…. Religion creates nothing except intangible emotional solace for those who require it.

The true gift that we have as human beings have, which has been solely responsible for everything that has improved our lives… is technology.

What is technology? Technology is a pencil, which allows one to solidify ideas on paper for communication. Technology is an automobile, which allows one to travel faster than feet would allow. Technology is a pair of eyeglasses, which enables sight for those who need it.

Applied technology itself is merely an extension of human attributes, which reduces human effort freeing humans from a particular chore or problem. Imagine what your life would be like today without a telephone… or an oven… or a computer… or an airplane. Everything in your home, which you take for granted, from a doorbell to a table to a dishwasher, is technology, generated from the creative, scientific ingenuity of human technicians… not money, politics or religion…These are false institutions."

Jiddu Krishnamurti - Revolución Radical en la sociedad

Jiddu Krishnamurti, gurú y maestro espiritual, filosofo y revolucionario psicológico. Su meta: como llevar a cabo un cambio positivo en la sociedad global.

Ciencia y Tecnología

El futuro depende de la ciencia, no de la religión o la política; esas son falsas instituciones creadas para tener a todos bajo control y mantener el poder... Falsas instituciones que generaron las peores guerras y mantienen a las culturas separadas. Sólo mediante la ciencia y la tecnología es que podemos preveer un futuro idóneo, ya que han sido lo único que en el transcurso de la historia demostraron mejorar significativamente nuestra calidad de vida.
