we present tours on scheduled Saturdays

in Venus, Florida; which is in central Florida.

People come from all over the world to hear Jacque speak

about a very different value system

as to how we relate to ourselves and one another.

Everything you do seems to be related to some experience.

If you have free will it means

you're acting without anything impressing you.

That doesn't seem possible.

(R.M.) Jacque gives us a better understanding on how we are a part of nature

not separate from it.

He also explains what it means

to apply the scientific method to our everyday life

enabling us to dispense with folkways

opinions and speculative notions.

(Jacque) If I know a machine can't feel, I won't take part in it.

When this thing makes drawings, people weep

at the characters in the drawings if they get hurt.

They will respond to drawings and they are not real.

People do not respond to the world they live in.

They respond as your nation programs you to.

(R.M.) Tours can go on for many hours and sometimes even into the evening

as Jacque replies to the many questions that people have.

There is a long discussion about the aims

and direction of the Venus Project [and]

a walk through the ground into the model buildings

with the descriptions of hundreds of models and renderings.

There will be a short film shown which will give you a better understanding

of this possible future vision.

That's what the Venus project is: What to do about it!

It is not enough to criticize your country

if you don't offer an alternative.

(R.M.) I think that the tours of the Venus Project will awaken people

to many facets that they are not aware of.

It's a way of thinking that differs considerably

from what you get at universities today.

It's a different form of psychology.

It's applied behavioral science to the social system.

I think you'll learn a great deal through the tour.

Not only through the tour of the property

but with the explanation of this way of thinking.

It's something that many people have been in search of for years.

The tour is incredible

and it's something that people all over

that I personally know, are completely looking for.

I got so many wonderful things out of the tour.

I couldn't have expected how good it was going to be.

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet Jacque and Roxanne.

To meet all the people around here is nice

and to be able to ask some questions.

You can find a lot of the stuff online and hear a lot of the lectures

but nothing compares to actually coming here

and seeing it for yourself in person.

I definitely got more out of it than I knew before.

And to see the structures in the complex

which are also very interesting and very admirable.

Looking at all the models was great. It was fantastic.

I got a really strong sense that

all these ideas, all these transitions to the Resource-Based Economy

are actually totally within reach.

The six hours that we have been here...

there was a lot more emphasis on the little things that I have heard.

He's got so much knowledge and not enough time to give it all out.

Jacque is a brilliant mind!

We're going to remember him for centuries.

This is a very precious time for us to have Jacque around

and actually to be able to listen to

how much he understands the depth and breadth

of how powerful this message really is.

Take advantage of the opportunity.

I think I need at least a week to be here because there is so much

with everything they have here; it has exceeded my expectations.

A great tour!

It was an incredible experience.

I know I will definitely never forget this. -Definitely.

Probably even come back. Definitely! Definitely!

I definitely want to come back.

As we become able to understand it better

then we can be the message as well

and I think this is what we really need to do.

I feel like I've got a lot of hope

for the future actually manifesting in a way that is better than ever.
