Humankind has reached a state of development in
which old modes of thinking and behaving threaten to destroy our
planet. This is becoming patently obvious to people of all political
and religious persuasions. We are living through a global crisis
in which only a profound revolution can save us from total self-destruction.
Those of us who are dedicated to the preservation of life must play
a prominent part in this revolution, which calls for a substantial
change in our manner of thinking.
Thomas Kuhn introduced the idea that science functions under the
control of a paradigm. For centuries science has been guided by
a paradigm based on the intellectual achievements of Newton and
Descartes, who saw the world mechanistically and reductively, with
its division of inside and outside, subject and object. This has
been overturned by the work of Einstein and his theory of relativity,
the atomic physicists and others who have discovered laws that don't
fit the old paradigm. The new paradigm which is emerging takes into
account the observer as well as the thing observed, and the fact
that the two cannot be separated. There cannot be objective knowledge
without a knowing subject: what we see must be relative to and influenced
by where we are and who we are.
In human affairs, objectivity on its own does not work because it
contradicts what it means to be a human being. A human being is
not an object. He or she is not only a thinking but a feeling person
with emotions, values, hunches, intuitions, sensitivities which
have a tremendous influence on what they do and how they perceive
the world. He or she is both an individual, alone in their own private
world, and also a member of a particular society; and, in turn,
that society belongs to a wider community, the human family, with
which every individual shares common experiences and aspirations
and a common global environment.
Basis for Action
We have to re-evaluate ourselves as the prime cause of the problems
we are facing, and rediscover the profound value inherent in every
single human being. This is something that the United Nations conferences,
as yet, have not really addressed.
The suggested process involves:
- the creation of a planetary peace and ecological culture, i.e.
a sustainable civilization.
- evolution of consumption and macro economy as a result of changes
in consciousness, value system , need structure, education reform
and human development.
- human development as a prerequisite to the development of true
civilization.
- an understanding of the power of the human potential, including
the power of the mind to devise appropriate technologies.
- the communication technology and the media.
- the integration of scientific disciplines and scientific knowledge
with consciousness.
- the use of innovative forms of education which recapture the
essence and heart of education.
- economic empowerment of the developing world by the rich countries
by mobilising human development.
Education, knowledge and wisdom are very powerful tools for the
survival of humankind. The more thought we put into our survival,
the more solutions we will get. An open dialogue is the key to our
success because it addresses differences, difficulties and barriers,
and creates co-operation.
Although the media tend to sensationalize destruction, exploitation,
greed and sexuality, there is a way in which the media can, in fact,
exalt ecological culture, peace and the values associated with this.
"Ultimately, this Earth can be saved from mankind only if people
are prepared to live with nature, rather than upon nature. We have
been taught that this world, and all plants and creatures thereon,
were created for man's use: that he was given dominion over all
other forms of life and that he must go forth and multiply. It is
now clear that if he follows that belief his extinction is inevitable.
Therefore, his whole relationship with Earth, with nature, must
change rapidly. But relationships between individuals or between
man and his environment are intellectual and of the spirit, rather
than of material gain or loss." - Sir Mark Oliphant (Father
of Australian Science) - personal communication to Dr Michael Ellis.
A substantially new manner of thinking is required integrating all
sciences and creating a holistic approach which takes into account
the inextricable relationship between life and all phenomena. Such
a science needs to integrate scientific materialism and consciousness
and requires a profound change in human values and attitudes.
"When I went to the Moon, I was
as pragmatic a test pilot engineer and scientist as any one of my
colleagues.... but there was another aspect to my experience during
Apollo 14......The first thing that came to mind as I looked at
Earth was its incredible beauty...I knew that life in the Universe
was not just an accident based on random processes. This knowledge
came to me directly.... It was an experiential cognition. But still
as real as the objective data upon which say the navigational programme
was based."
Edgar Mitchell (Astronaut, supporter of The Centre)
Our main proposal is therefore:
To ask the UN, including especially UNEP, UNESCO and UNCSD and the
governments of the world, to support ideas and proposals on developing
and putting into practice, new informational and educational policy
based on the new scientific and intellectual paradigm, to develop
and establish new educational programs for different national, social
and age groups. Such programs would be established under the aegis
of the UN (directly or under UNEP & UNESCO) institutions, governments
and industrial organisations. These proposals concern education,
information policy and science based on the new way of thinking
that we may prevent the potential global crisis.
The Diagnosis
Economic, Social and Political State of
Affairs
Ten years after the Rio Earth Summit, we are still far from the
prevention of a global ecological catastrophe and the creation of
a solution to urgent ecological, social, economic and political
problems which affect billions of people. No visible and substantial
results have been achieved.
We currently live in a global political system, which has changed
from the polarisation of USA vs USSR to a monopolar order completed
after September 11th. The monopolar system is not sustainable by
definition. The process which is known today as globalisation is
a mono-polarisation. A genuine globalisation is the transformation
of our globalised world to a cooperative, united, human family.
Our world faces a global threat - the danger of ecological catastrophe,
which threatens equally every human being, every nation and every
social group. The contradictory interests of a multitude of cultures
and nations often camouflage and confuse the problems we are facing,
because the information is not available through the mass-media.
Macro Environmental Global Issues
The Global ecological threat is apparent in numerous known and unknown
phenomena to the extent that we are on an extinction curve, more
pronounced than at any time since the extinction of the dinosaurs
65 million years ago. The world has been converted in an instant
of time from a wild natural state to one in which human beings one
of an estimated 10 million species of organisms are consuming, wasting,
or diverting an estimated 45% of the total net biological productivity
on land, and using more than half of the renewable fresh water.
In a matter of a hundred years, we have altered substantially the
characteristics of the land, the freshwaters of the Earth, and the
seas. We are driving a major proportion of the species which are
fundamental for our continued existence, to extinction.
Klaus Toephler, Director of the UN Environment program, Nairobi,
Kenya in the United Nations Environmental Study 2002 Report states,
'the Planet is poised on a precipice, and time is running out for
making tough, economic and political choices that can pull it back
from disaster.'
This report, made by contributions from more than 1,000 scientists
associated with UNEP shows that within 30 years:
- 55% of the global population will suffer severe water shortages
- 11,000 plant and animal species will be dead or dying
- 30% of the biodiversity will be erased by the middle of the
century
- There will be increased emissions of carbon dioxide doubling
to 16 billion pounds per year since the 19th century.
The Military Industrial Complex
No threat is greater than the threat of nuclear war. There are still
between 40,000-50,000 nuclear warheads in the world today - enough
to destroy 60 times the Earth's population. In addition to India
and Pakistan, 15-20 developing countries will have nuclear capability
in the next 10 years.
For a fracture of arms spending, (over $1trillion dollars annually),
sanitation and clean water could be supplied to all the deprived
peoples of the world. Wide spread diseases could be prevented and
schooling and medicine provided.
The global military complex which has emerged for the defense of
nations and people has become more dangerous that the threat it
should prevent. If only a fraction of the financial and scientific
resources it consumes were used to prevent the potential ecological
catastrophe a sustainable civilisation could be built.
The Medical System
The domination of the pharmaceutical industry in the health system
ignores nutritional, environmental, preventative and lifestyle management
of illness through health promotion. Due to inequities in global
health care, a child dies of avoidable disease every three seconds.
The global community faces morbidity from the growth of AIDS, a
resurgence of other infectious diseases such as Hepatitis, and Malaria,
particularly in the developing world.
The developed world is faced with cardiovascular disease, cancer
and diabetes.
The Consumptive Society
Modern society with its excessive emphasis on commercial return,
economic growth, wealth and material success, subordinates and distorts
peoples minds, mentalities and ultimately, real needs. The people
are victims of surrogate values and needs forced on them by informational
and economic sub-systems of society.
Our survival has to be seen from on overview of planetary sustainability
and transboundary environmental issues. The old system that says
we have to dominate, cultivate fear, and exploit in order to survive,
is no longer tenable.
A positive change in new world outlook requires the cultivation
of genuine human values and the acknowledgement of the interconnectedness
and interdependence between humans, the natural environment and
the Universe. The cultivation of Self knowledge, self esteem and
spiritual growth, would lead paradoxically to a reallocation of
consumer resources, conservation of nature and new, more sustainable,
technological and scientific advances.
A Global Crisis of Social Values
The global crisis is symptomatic of the inadequacies of our social
values. Ethical and moral value systems have not evolved properly
to keep up the balance with our growing material needs and technological
inventiveness. We are living through a civilisation crisis in which
only a profound social epiphany leading to a paradigmatic shift,
unlike any other in history, can save us from total self destruction.
The environmental problems that we face are because humankind does
not see itself as a species, whose role is as a subsystem of the
biosphere. Humanity's role is, in our opinion, to develop a deep
understanding and wisdom based on our alignment with the Universal
Laws and the co-evolution of human society with nature.
Our basic requirement is for ecological
peace and health which means a complete shift of the paradigm involving
science, education and health to a complete understanding of humanity
and its relationship with the cosmos.
The Genesis of Environmental Problems
The Loss of Values and the Loss of Dreams
The most underused and misused resource on the planet is the human
mind. Although we may have finite natural, ecological resources,
we have one infinite resource, which is the human mind and spirit.
This may be the only resource which will save our planet.
The famous Russian scientist and Academician, Dr Vladimir Vernadsky,
in the first half of the 20th Century, saw the future of humanity
linked to a model of reality called the Noosphere, which is a noetic
science of consciousness and the world of inner experience. The
noetic science, reappraises the nature of the human being and its
relationship with the cosmos, integrating western science with eastern
wisdom.
The root problem is that our social life and our economic and technological
development is grounded in the old, but still predominant paradigm
based on the intellectual achievements of Newton and Descartes,
who saw the world mechanistically and reductively. This has been
overturned by the work of Einstein who showed that the new paradigm
is based on the relationship and connection with the thing observed.
What we see must be relative and influenced by what we are, how
we are and where we are. The old paradigm works well for mechanisms
and technology, but does not work when we try and understand consciousness
and psychosocial issues.
Tolstoy, in War and Peace, said 'the highest wisdom has but one
science, the science of the whole -the science explaining the whole
of creation and man's placement'.
The measures aimed at preventing ecological
catastrophe and transition to sustainable development, whether it
be technological, economic and or ecological, will be doomed to
failure unless we free ourselves from the old scientific, intellectual
paradigm.
In our printed and visual media we find sensationalism, and no
integration of news or proper analysis, as news tends to serve political
purposes . Our news media tends to create an erroneous picture of
reality and draw people away from serious reflection. There is no
public voice. Even in Universities there seems to be no integration
between different specialties and information is narrowly focussed.
It is no wonder that our young people are worried and often angry.
Their lives are changing, but they feel there is no future, as they
feel there is nothing left. Our young people nowadays grow up so
quickly due to the influence of the media, particularly television.
The destructive influence of mass media on the developing psyche
of children and teenagers has a deleterious effect on the creation
of the integrated personality. Parental care is lost as parents
go out to work under the increasingly stressful working environment.
In this situation, they are not able to substitute money, property,
social status, and material needs with the creation of values.
The New Paradigm Integrating Spirituality
and Science
Einstein, 50 years ago, said 'if humanity is to survive, there has
to be a substantially new manner of thinking.' He also said 'A human
being is part of the whole that we call the universe, a part limited
in time and space. He experiences in himself, his thoughts and feelings
as something separate from the rest a kind of optical illusion of
his consciousness. This illusion is a prison for us restricting
us to our personal desires and to affection for only the few people
nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison
by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings
and all of nature.'
Vaclav Havel, echoed this statement when he became President of
Czechoslovakia, stating that there needs to be a massive change
in consciousness if humankind is to survive.
The root problem is that although we have made great leaps in technological
science, and our physical knowledge has expanded, our development,
is based on an inadequate understanding of the world generally,
as well as of human beings and human life. Our science serves technological
development, but it is incapable of predicting the consequences
of the interaction of technology with nature.
The new vision of reality requires us to
review our origins, the nature of evolution and the basic cause
behind the need of healing for the individual, society and the global
civilisation We have to reevaluate ourselves and our mode of development
as the prime cause of the problems we are facing.
In this respect, the new frontier is the new paradigm which is the
new spirituality that encompasses a consciousness of oneness where
all of life on Earth is connected and not separate.
The great Copernican revolution of the 21st Century is to realise
the nature of universal consciousness spirit and soul.
Great inventions, great thought and creativity come from a higher
order of intelligence and consciousness. Education, in our view
should be based on this concept of human potential and the hidden
abilities within all human beings. Particularly we would emphasise
the power of the sub-conscious and conscious mind and the ability
of the individual to find expression in a unique and whole way.
A new ethos implies a belief in universal abundance actualised by
the creative potential of human minds. The key to this abundance
is the creation of a new kind of non-polluting energy, which gives
humanity the opportunity to meet all of humanity's needs.
Our civilization is changing rapidly. As a result, we are entering
the so called post-industrial or the information society.
The computer information and technological revolution now occurring
should be accompanied by new ways that actualise the global mind
and vastly enhance the creative potential and access to freedom
for all humanity.
Now is the time that millions of people need to awaken to their
sense of truth, freedom, co-operation and connectedness with all
of life - an expression of connected humanity.
What is needed, we believe, is a new science
that can integrate the mind and its abilities with the whole phenomenon
of human productiveness, technology and the environment. This means
that we have integration instead of fragmentation into the various
subjects that are taught in universities, which are differentiated
and separated into various disciplines. This means that we produce
graduates versed in the whole phenomenon of life.
This is possible because science already has come to a new level
of understanding of the new paradigm. This paradigm should become
the basis for new education systems, new information policies, and
a means to building relationships between people, nations, social
groups etc.
Education, in this sense, is giving to people throughout the planet
an understanding of what they have in common despite their races,
religions, ideologies, cultures, traditions, beliefs and spiritualities
- enabling them to realise their backgrounds, their origins and
potential and individual destinies within the common ground of human
life and existence.
Openness is a prerequisite of education. It is also the prerequisite
of communication.
New forms of communication are needed, involving the media, which
will help to educate people by enabling them to realise the depth
and power of the human spirit and the ability of people to heal
themselves and to create peace.
Our aim is to promote a dialogue to impact
human consciousness on a deep and profound level.
"All that man has here in multiplicity is intrinsically One.
Here all blades of grass, wood and stone, all things are One. This
is the deepest depth. And thereby am I completely captivated".
Meister Eckhart (1260-1327)
Our Proposals are
To ask the UN (including the UNEP, UNESCO,
UNCSD and other bodies:
- " To support ideas and proposals on developing and putting
into practice a new informational and educational policy based
on the new scientific and intellectual paradigm to develop and
establish new educational programs for different national social
and, age groups. Such programs would be established under the
aegis of the UN or its institutions aimed at implementing the
major proposals formulated below. Such an educational program
would integrate healing issues looking at the importance of lifestyle,
nutrition, relaxation, nutritional supplementation, meditation
and exercise for the prevention of the major scourges of illness
and deprivation in our global community. This activity would be
facilitated by outstanding world leaders and key humanist individuals.
- To establish educational programs for teachers, and for different
social and age groups.
- To involve key representatives of politics, business, culture
and the arts.
- To elaborate and enhance the conception of eco-settlements
understanding the profound connection between dwellings and the
environment in which they exist and to provide support to eco-settlements
from international, governmental and non governmental entities.
To call all the World's scientists to take
part in developing the intellectual basis for forming a sustainable
civilization.
A substantially new manner of thinking is required integrating all
sciences and creating a holistic approach which takes into account
the inextricable relationship between life and all phenomena. Such
a science needs to integrate scientific materialism and consciousness
and requires a profound change in human values and attitudes.
To ask all educational organisations of
teachers of all levels and professors to support our ideas
and aims in order to create educational programs based on new paradigm
for distribution among families, schools and universities which
has at its highest priority, the integration of the human being
with the family of humanity, civilization, planet earth, and the
cosmos. In this respect, we particularly wish to study and understand
the role of ecology in economics, psychosocial issues and cross
cultural issues in order to enhance relationships between nations,
cultures, creeds and religions.
To ask all medical doctors and health professionals
to support a form of medicine which is integrative, health giving
and gives individuals the opportunity to take responsibility for
their own lives and the opportunity to arrest the development of
degenerative disease or prevent it altogether.
To ask business and community groups
to consider our proposals in developing a new sector in the market:
on ecologically sound production, primarily in food and medicine,
placing emphasis on organic foods, sustainable agricultural practices
and cellular and herbal medicines.
A new sector for the solution of our global problems would also
include education (training courses), publications, centres designed
specifically for health promotion, preventative health, self care,
ecological education and spiritual development. Our children need
oxygen, water, food, trees and grass and a sustainable environment
more than material possessions in order to thrive.
To appeal to the young people of the world
to seek unity within diversity, cohesion where there is fragmentation
and resolution where there is conflict. We ask them to take on the
responsibility for this brilliant jewel of our planet and seek to
acquire a deep and abiding passion and knowledge for life itself.
A profound cultivation of true civilisation requires a broad and
deep understanding of the nature of humanity, earth, the cosmos
and the culture of their nation and all nations. It requires a profound
love and respect for all peoples and the living biodiversity of
nature itself.
To ask governments to support our concerns
and ideas and to establish appropriate state institutes, to initiate
programmes aimed at focusing on scientific activities as a matter
of urgency on:
- New ways of thinking about our place on Earth and the ways
in which we relate to the functioning of natural systems if we
are to find a better way to live in harmony with nature.
- Formulating new ways in industry and agriculture, making a
possible a sustainable world.
- Reforming educational systems based on the new paradigm
- National strategies to create the conditions for
- Human and social development
- Environmentally friendly economies
- Poverty reduction
We feel that if these major principles and directions are instigated
we may be able to prevent the global catastrophe to which we are
currently headed.
