Dear Glen, I was amazed at the wisdom of your short - 3 pages, but a deep and troubled paper for the future of humanity, despite the hopelessness of the world current situation. Many thanks for this wonderful article, which I was happy to publish on your personal page here: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=428. I invite all members and friends of GHA read it carefully - it has great spiritual significance for all of us. Importantly, it highlights the main way out of the world hopeless state. On this way I want to say specifically. During the decades of your stubborn creativity you have created a brilliant world achievement - your "Constitution of the Earth." No less brilliant global achievements created by Dr. Norman Kurland - the theory of justice global economy; Dr. Bruce Cook - his book "Harmony of Nations"; Dr. Kurt Johnson - his theory of Interspiritual Age of religions; the ABC of Harmony authors - the theory of a harmonious civilization and harmonious education. You have given this book the highest rating, you wrote: the ABC of Harmony is "Our New Planetary Paradigm, the fundamental revolution in science and paradigm shift in human consciousness" (The ABC, p. 296). However, all these global achievements in various sectors for decades remain scattered and fragmented. It is clear that without the internal globalization, integration, and holistic harmony they will never find acceptance in a globalized world, which goes to a harmonious civilization and to internal harmonization of all its achievements in all fields. Their inner deep synthesis, integration and holism in harmony is now, in our era of globalization and harmonization, the first fundamental obstacle before global recognition of these achievements. Therefore, each of us must now clearly understand that without the integration and synthesis with other achievements his personal and private achievement is doomed to oblivion and will be deprived of world recognition. Each of us is personally responsible for the lives of their own achievements through the synthesis with other achievements. Other way is not exist, and we have no choice. GHA is clear about this, therefore GHA is doing everything possible in this direction. But without you in this spiritual synthesis of our achievements, we are also weak as like every one of you. We need to realize that by one we will never succeed, none of us, none of our brilliant achievements. Internal integration, synthesis and integrity - it is our destiny, from which we can not avoid, and which we should devote every day most of our time and effort. After the ABC of Harmony, the next attempt of synthesis of our achievements is the Center (School) of Interfaith Harmonious Education (CIHE): www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=561. Unfortunately, we do not see in it any part of Glenn, nor Norman. For example, Glenn, I invite you to write the CIHE curriculum for the course "The Constitution of the Earth for Interfaith Harmony", and Norman - "Just Economy for Interfaith Harmony." The CIHE project is open and we look forward to your participation in it with your learning course on your achievements. This is a very important step of the synthesis of our achievements in global problem of interfaith harmony, covering more than half of humanity if no in a whole. The next attempt of synthesis - is Social Statistics Study (SSS), which we wrote and in which we also look forward to your participation. Thus, the fate of our life is the movement from our alienation and fragmentation to the synthesis and integrity in harmony. GHA calls on all of you to move together on this path, the single for our survival in this era of globalization, harmonization, global synthesis and integration. This is the most difficult way, but only for us. We must learn to walk this route through our various joint works and projects. We are waiting for your response to this call for synthesis and integration.
