Dear Leo and Colleagues,
These rules seem fine, in general. I would question, however, the wording of
numbers five and six. Unlike the other 8 rules which appear to me as flexible
guidelines for authors, five and six appear to me to be requiring that authors
link their submissions to one of the four spheres of Socionomie. For one
thing, authors might be operating under a somewhat different theoretical model
(although still consistent with GPS in general) and therefore not wish to use
this particular model. For another thing, authors may see the vision they want
to impart as bridging or interrelating one or more of these four spheres. Any
particular set of data relevant to peace might well be divided into a different
categorical schemata.
I would suggest, therefore, that numbers five and six be worded in the form of
a suggested guideline that authors follow this, not as a requirement.
This modification would also make it easier, I think, to have works of art as
part of the book. Works of art are symbolically open-ended and could not
readily be subsumed under any such categories. This is true both of the visual
arts and poetry. Global Peace Science should embrace this symbolic diversity,
and not try to force it into schema not compatible with the open-ended nature
of the creative arts.
Leo, I deeply appreciate your initiative in this book and other projects you
are spearheading. Thanks for your hard work and commitment to peace.
I hope my suggestions are useful.
Warmest wishes to all,
Glen Martin

Subject: [gha] Re: Invitation to Global Peace Science Imagination - First Bird
for GPS Book + Some rules for the articles in Global Peace Science book for
your approval up to October 3
Dear Glen, Matjaz, Merchant and Subhash,
Many thanks for your wonderful first articles in the GHA new book: "Global
Peace Science: The First Common Good for the 21st Century and every Human."
I'm very glad you were started and included in the long and difficult process
of collective creating the world's first sample of Global Peace Science (GPS)
based on the global harmony theory presented in the ABC of Harmony for Global
Peace ....
(www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=478<http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=478>).
In this process, we will try, as in ABC, to unite in harmonious whole the
dozens of authors’ articles with dozens of different understandings. The ABC of
harmony was the first step on this way. It had reached many but is far from
perfection still. GPS is the conscious second step on this way in which we must
go further in achieving our harmonious unity of our theoretical diversity.
This is a common and difficult process for each GPS participant, so we need to
establish some general rules that we understood each other better and avoided
or minimized the frictions and conflicts between us because of this
misunderstanding. I think everyone would agree with that. Therefore, I propose
to discuss and approve by your YES or NO for 3 days (if necessary, we will
increase this term), up to October 3 inclusively the following "Rules for
Authors’ Articles in GPS."
1. Global Peace Science (hereinafter - GPS) in the GHA first conception and
execution as a synergetic and harmonious synthesis of various authors articles
- this is not the end but only the beginning of an endless evolution of
scientific consciousness of global peace, without which humanity can not
survive and develop further as a single family of the world peoples.
2. Each author's article in GPS is the answer to the main question: "What I
imagine as the most effective pursuit of global peace science in a whole or its
separate aspect on the basis of GHA sources and my own vision?”
3. GPS, which is the science of social harmony, there can be a collection of
disparate articles lacking internal harmonious unity and compiled on a
principle of "deaf choir, or choir of the deaf." This is contrary to harmonious
essence of GPS.
4. GPS of harmony should be a model of harmony. It is provided by the GPS
united harmonious architecture that combines a variety of peacemaking ideas in
organically integral/holistic knowledge of global peace in all its aspects.
5. Harmonious architecture of GPS by the most concise way is expressed in
Socionome of the ABC of Harmony on two pages (40-41). The author of each
article could determine, primarily, to what sphere of global peace the main
subject of his article relates. These spheres are four: sociosphere, infosphere
(the spiritual realm), orgsphere (the sphere of politics, law, finance,
management, etc.) and technoecosphere (economic/ecological sphere). The
definition of one or more spheres for the article along with a reference to
Socionome could be the beginning of the author's articles and the base of its
classification in the GPS. The more detailed explanations of Socionome can be
found in GHA other sources.
6. Each author's article suggests a scientific explanation of one or another
necessary aspect of global peace in one (or more) of its four spheres. This
aspect may have a cognitive background in the GPS letters, proposals and
outline, which were concentrated in the GHA initiative for G20 and published
here:
www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=582<http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=582>,
either in the GPS key ideas presented in the book project here:
www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=585<http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=585>.
7. The search and scientific analysis of the preconditions of the GHA sources,
along with their quoting, could form the introductory part of the authors’
articles. Attracting and analysis of other backgrounds from other sources is
welcome: they will enrich the scientific content of GPS.
8. The empirical studies, if they are assumed to be in the author's article, it
is advisable to connect and compare with the GPS empirical foundation in
Comparative Sociological Statistical Study (CSSS:
www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=579<http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=579>)
9. Based on the previous steps, the author will define the final title of
his/her article, and will choose for its an adequate section of the book
proposed contents or will offer for it new section.
10. GPS will be next, after the ABC of Harmony, a step in the peace Tetranet
harmonious thinking, which involves the synthesis of the contents of each
author's article in the tetra- model. This is the most complex and subtle
intellectual moment. Therefore, the GPS book editor invites the authors of
articles to joint formation of such models in the process of bilateral dialogue
since November 2013.
These 10 simple rules, I think, will provide a high scientific level and
necessary harmonious consolidation of different articles in a one organic whole
of the GPS first version from harmony. They will also provide the spirit of
Emile Durkheim's collective solidary peace consciousness, integrating in
harmony the diversity of peace ideas and peace imagination. I also hope that
the discussion of these rules will clarify, enrich and make them more effective.
Of course, these rules are not a panacea for all internal epistemological
problems of our difficult collective creative process, but they create a
certain framework and dimensions system for its harmonization and coherent
organization.
As for the art works for GPS, in a short time, we, along with Ernesto Kahan, as
Chair of the Commission and Jury will present similar rules, as the development
of 10 these, for your consideration. These rules will provide high quality of
the original articles and artwork for GPS, as well as our book of GPS as a
whole.
With love, best harmony wishes,
Leo

Subject: [gha] Re: Invitation to Global Peace Science Imagination - First
Bird for GPS Book
Dear Dr Leo Semashko:
Founding President, Global Harmony Association (GHA)
I am forwarding my article on “Peace through Harmony: Peaceful Coexistence in
21st Century “Vasudheiva Kutumbkam - (World is one family) for the book - GHA
new project-book: "Global Peace Science: The First Common Good for the 21st
Century"
We are threatened by nuclear destruction and economic collapse. Nuclear
armament is the major threat to world peace. Nuclear armament constitute the
greatest threat man has ever known Even without a war, nuclear stockpiling and
radiation from nuclear testing threaten destruction of the human race. “In the
event of a nuclear war there will be no victors because there will be no
survivors…” said His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Therefore the biggest agenda for the Twenty-First Century is: How to save the
Humanity and How to create Peaceful planet?
Call of the Time:
To meet the present global challenges & to save the humanity from further
destruction it is the time to search our heart & soul and turn our attention
inwardly to change our values & attitude to achieve the goal of developing
sustainable peace in the society. We have to change our consciousness & our
attitude from Culture of Violence & war to Culture of Peace & harmony for
creating a peaceful planet.
Now is the time to "Thinking together is a new vision of start, working
together is a new start for converting vision into actions for developing
Global Harmonious Society.”
Global Peace Science Movement for Humanity: The present situation calls for a
drastic strengthening of “Global Peace Science Movement for Humanity – Growth
through Peace and for Peace but not for War”. It's time to focus on ‘Thinking
together & Working together’ on Global Peace Science movement involving all the
Leaders to save the humanity.
“Global Peace and Interfaith Harmony for the 21st Century”
“Vasudheiva Kutumbkam - One Family, One Religion & One Harmony”
Peace is the ultimate aspiration of mankind all over the world, despite all
ethnic, cultural and other differences. Without peace, life loses its intrinsic
meaning, beauty and dignity. This human aspiration is expressed in a variety of
forms: poetical, artistic, spiritual, and so on across different cultures.
Basically, all religions believe in peace, equality and helping the less
fortunate. To live in peace one must respect all religions.
According to Indian Vedic Philosophy: Harmony is Vasudheva Kutumbkam (entire
world being a single family abandoning all differences or divisions). Harmony
is not just a unified system of belief encoded in a declaration of faith; it is
rather an umbrella comprising the plurality of religious phenomena originating
from the Vedic tradition
Harmony is a philosophy of unity i.e. “Vasudheva Kutumbkam” means
Peaceful Co-existence for all.
Vasudheva Kutumbkam’ is Global Peace Science for Humanity for creating a
Peaceful planet. The world is one family has been expressed in our scriptures.
The oneness of humanity has been a fundamental belief of Indian Civilization.
Global Peace & oneness of Humanity can only be achieved through cultivating the
Global culture of Peace & Harmony.
