  • I say it's over, unless there are other questions that you have

  • which you don't understand.

  • This is the application of relativity, that all things are relative.

  • You can't know exactly the way things work.

  • You can only know what you can receive.

  • There's a gadget that scientists use

  • to see if there's an electromagnetic field here.

  • They also have a gadget they lower from an airplane

  • (like a big disk) with an electric current going around in a circle.

  • There's a lot of iron under the land

  • and it slows up the electric current.

  • Instead of going around geologically looking for iron

  • the airplane drops this down, and it flies over the Earth

  • and it tells you where the iron is

  • (do you understand? ) by a current moving around in a coil.

  • It's called a magnetometer.

  • That's how they know.

  • In the old days they used to dig down, find metals and say

  • "This is a good place for it!"

  • Nowadays, with a prism, a certain type of prism

  • arranged in a certain way, if you aim it at a star.

  • It tells us there's no oxygen on that star

  • no nitrogen, no water.

  • The prism, the color bands, tell you what there is on that planet.

  • It was discovered accidentally

  • when the Germans made airplanes that were lighter and stronger.

  • They didn't know what it was made of. They heat the metal

  • so it's bright white hot and run it through a prism.

  • They get a color band, and the color band says:

  • 2% magnesium, 1% carbon, cobalt

  • (you know what I mean?). It's called spectral analysis.

  • We can turn a spectrum on anything today

  • and if we heat it so it's white hot, we can tell what it contains.

  • That's how they knew there's no air on the moon

  • before they ever went there, but normal people [ask]

  • "How did they know there's no air on the moon? They've never been there!"

  • There are other ways, but they don't know about spectroscopes.

  • Do you know about spectral analysis?

  • A lot of people don't know about those things, so they [say]:

  • "How the hell do they know? My opinion is just as good as theirs!"

  • They don't look into it and say "How do they know?"

  • They speculate, you know what I mean?

  • That's why we have so much trouble with people

  • because they do not have a common way of seeking information.

  • They say "If you ask me, I think my opinion's just as good as yours."

  • Good.

  • People want to feel equal to you.

  • They say "That's your opinion, now I'm going to give you mine."

  • They think one opinion is as good as another

  • and that's valid amongst people that don't know how to check things out.

  • They should say "I wonder how they know there's no water on the moon"

  • but wondering that, they don't go to their computer and say

  • "How do people know that?"

  • I don't know if your computer will handle that

  • but your computer will tell you every phase

  • of metals with a memory. If you put in

  • 'metals with a memory' or you put in 'materials with a memory'

  • you'll get more than metals with a memory.

  • If you put in 'What is memory?'

  • (you know what I mean? ) That's another question altogether.

  • We don't ask those questions

  • because we're not brought up to ask such questions.

  • We're brought up [with]: If you get money you can buy anything;

  • a Rolls-Royce, or a big house with 40 rooms.

  • Most aims are for money, not scientific instruments.

  • If you wonder why do people only think of making money?

  • [It's] because they can buy any car, any house, pay off people.

  • Money is a symbol and it can get you anything you want.

  • If you study chemistry, you might learn about chemicals

  • but you can't afford to live in a nice house.

  • That's why people are money-oriented.

  • Not because they're bad or greedy.

  • [It's] because money gives them what they want

  • and without it they can't have what they want.

  • Is that real clear? It's rewarding to people.

  • If helping people is rewarding you instead of money

  • that's different, but you'll be abused by it.

  • You'll have to drive a car that breaks down

  • because you don't have the money to buy a car that doesn't break down.

  • A brand new Mercedes will last longer than the average car

  • but you can't afford that.

  • If you use magnetic braking, it will last longer

  • but you can't afford it.

  • People with money ask "What's the best braking system?

  • I'll take two. " You know what I mean?

  • "How do I make my house fireproof? " "You do this. You do that"

  • and they can afford it.

  • Without money, you're pissed off by people

  • sleeping in the street. You're broke.

  • Everybody says "This guy is a bum!"

  • I've met, what they call 'bums'

  • that were so well read, that they didn't want any part of the system.

  • They lived in poverty. I think I told you about the guy in Haiti

  • with a shirt made of nothing but patches.

  • I couldn't tell which was the real shirt

  • because it was so patched up.

  • He was well informed in semantics.

  • The shirt he wore looked like a guy put a hand grenade in it

  • and blew it up. There were holes all over it

  • and torn, and he still buttoned it up because that's all he had.

  • He loved to read, and he was very well informed

  • in what he read

  • but he was pissed on by everybody.

  • I talked to him for hours. He was bright as hell

  • but he couldn't identify with being part of the world.

  • So, they were considered bums

  • and I consider politicians, bums

  • and people that design bombers, bums

  • and the people that made the atom bombs, dangerous

  • because they gave it to people who were not wise enough to use them.

  • They couldn't take that into account, but they loved the challenge

  • of solving the problem.

  • Even the Bible says "Cast ye not pearl before swine."

  • You know what that means? If you give a pig a pearl

  • it doesn't say "Gee that's great, thank you!"

  • If you give an atom bomb to an undeveloped country

  • they'll blast the hell out of people they disagree with.

  • They'll poison the Earth. They don't care about that.

  • They're not wise enough to use it.

  • That's what "Cast ye not pearl before swine" means to me.

  • Don't give people atom bombs. Don't give people bombers

  • unless they learn to live together in peace!

  • You give them airplanes, spectroscopes and things like that

  • so they can educate kids in spectral analysis

  • and magnetometers, and all the things they don't know exist.

  • They will not make their own conclusions.

  • They'll say "Let's put a spectrometer on that and try to find out."

  • They don't even think that way today. They think

  • "Man will always be greedy, no matter what you do."

  • You can say that man has always been greedy

  • due to scarcity or fear of loss.

  • A man can have a million dollars and still steal

  • because he wants to secure his position.

  • He wants to make damn sure that even if the banks fail

  • he has money buried under the mattress

  • or under the ground in a trunk in the backyard.

  • People are insecure because they've known banks to fail

  • and all their money that they put in the banks is gone

  • because the bankers called other bankers and said "Hey!

  • We're going to sell out. We're going to close down in three months.

  • Take your money out" to their friends in the banking business.

  • They did that first, so there was nothing left

  • even though a guy worked all his life and saved up $800,000.

  • When the bank failed, they were lined up outside the banks

  • demanding their money. The banks said "We don't have it"

  • and the people killed themselves because they felt

  • they'd let their families down.

  • So people that don't put money in the banks

  • they have a locker in banks where you can put cash

  • and it gets no interest

  • but that can't be touched by the banks. They can't invest it.

  • In that way came a form of security.

  • If you put a million dollars in the bank, if you did that

  • and you get interest, you get about $50,000 a year in interest

  • so you don't have to worry about anything.

  • You can live on $50,000 a year as long as your million stays there.

  • And that puts it on the back of other people.

  • [Roxanne] - We should... I should go down and... - Yes, OK.

  • That was the last portion of a talk on the subject of relativity

  • and he covers some other things in there, as well.

  • If you'd like to hear more of that

  • as well as other lectures in audio format

  • please go to the twitter page that we just set up

  • where we will post links to more new material including answers

  • to questions and more current update briefs.

  • I'll put a link to the twitter below.

  • In addition to the Venus Project tours

  • which are given on scheduled Saturdays

  • Jacque continues to give new lectures almost daily

  • in which he covers all areas of social designs, human behavior

  • and more in depth issues that are important to consider and understand

  • when learning about this direction and way of thinking.

  • We're also doing our best to get

  • these talks edited and released onto DVD and expect to have

  • about 15 to 20 new lectures available as soon as we can.

  • If you check on thevenusproject. com, you go to the store

  • check that out. In the next hopefully few weeks

  • there will be some new material available there.

  • Thanks for watching, and also The Venus Project

  • is appreciative of everybody that's out there

  • in the trenches talking about these ideas that are not so easy

  • to talk about with 'normal people'.

  • As Jacque always says "We have a tough job ahead of us

  • but I'd rather have a tough job than to go along with this system."

I say it's over, unless there are other questions that you have
