Your treatment "everyone" to the GHA colleagues and friends, at least from the point of view of Russian perception, does not sound like the best way, not by friendly but with a shade of neglect and arrogance. Could you use a more dignified treatment for the GHA members? Thank you. Thank you for your sensible response. I think all will agree that this incident with you is exhausted, and we are continuing our cooperation. Your remark about the classes as actors of peace and what you do not know them reflects the typical state of the traditional peace studies that ignore and neglect these actors. But they are essential for truly scientific thinking and knowledge of peace. Therefore, traditional studies are far from science, although they may contain some private achivements that are important for the future GPS. This science can not be without an analysis of the spheral classes of the population as universal actors of peace. They are unfolded in the GHA books, especially in Harmonious Civilization (2009) and the ABC of Harmony for World Peace … (2012), as well as in my previous book Tetrasociology: Responses to Challenges (2002) and in my earlier books. I think you understand that a scientific peace theory must analyze the social classes as peace actors. This is its central subject and object, which only makes it as a science. If we do not know the answer to the question: WHO create peace, we will never get answers to other questions, including HOW to create peace, etc. In this regard, in the content of GHA book about GPS I specially formulated the following key chapter: Historical Universal Actors of Global Peace: Harmonious Spheral Classes of the Population. In this chapter, I will analyze different class theories and compare them with the tetrasociological theory of four differing but harmonious classes of the population, ensuring global peace as its actors, sources and final causes in nature of society as a whole. These analyses and comparisons are scattered across my books for almost 40 years and in different projects of GHA for the 9 years, which I will have to summarize and develop up to date. This chapter will give you, like everybody, exhaustive scientific answer to question about the peace actors in the different peace and sociological theories and especially in GPS. Your question helped me to formulate a new chapter in it. Thank you.

I was responding to your request that I give a public response to these terms. I'm just searching for the basis for needing a new term - an explanation of why we need to consider social classes when we discuss peace theories. Perhaps one social class approaches peace in a different way than another? The fact that GHA has been doing this for years doesn't really answer the question. I still don't have an answer, and that's why I voted against these terms. But, yes, please forgive me for whatever I may have done to offend you. I love working with you and everyone at GHA.

I asked you in my letter only the following: "Please, let us know your opinion as expert in English, as writer and editor about term PEACELOVELOGY for GPS?" What I can now answer to your unmotivated aggressive attack against tetrasociology without a single scientific argument? Your letter of October 21, limited by this attack and aggression: "to vote against using tetrasociology." I asked you to say about the term and you have threatened the GHA entire organization. Where is here your peace and harmony? The whole year you, like a dove, assured me and GHA in your love to the ABC of Harmony, to harmony, to the GHA mission based on tetrasociology and now – you urge to vote against it all GHA! It's like the kiss of Judas. This is a betrayal of the GHA in which you are the renegade. You ignore that the GHA is based on tetrasociology 9 years old, it's the GHA spiritual foundation. It is the science of global peace from harmony. Tetrasociology and its ABC of Harmony is an unprecedented "fundamental revolution in science and paradigm shift in human consciousness emerging from the most advanced thinking of the 20th century" (Glen Martin). "The ABC of Harmony is the dawn of a shining, harmonious vision of peace and prosperity for all the nations of the planet Earth!" (Abdul Kalam) and etc. GHA created on this basis, for 9 years, 7 books and 48 projects that are an unprecedented contribution to the social science and global peace. And you're suggesting us abandon it, vote against tetrasociology, which gives life to the GHA? Do you want to take away from us our life? I think you do not understand because of your ignorance in tetrasociology what you write. You reject the peace actors - this is nonsense and stupidity! Without the scientific definition of the peace actors it will never be reached. Tetrasociology only gives them the scientific definition. You ignore its scientific advantage and historical dignity. If you would denied the dignity of any organization, for example, if you offered to vote in Norman’s organization against economic and social justice, and in Glen’s organization against his Constitution and in Kurt’s organization against his interspirituality and so on to anyone, you know that you immediately shown to the door. You have been unable to understand peacemaking nature of tetrasociology and did not try to explore it. I am happy that none of the GHA members for 5 days did not support your aggressive urge: "to vote against tetrasociology." The GHA trust to you here was rendered zero. In such cases, usually, resign. But we are ready to forgive your act of aggression and to offer you pursue your technical functions in the GHA that you are doing well and free you from participating in the GHA new book based on tetrasociology. You have a lot of other advantages besides theoretical, for which we can appreciate you in the GHA. So we could be forgiving your mistake with your aggression with the hope that such a mistake will not be repeated in the future. Could you learn from your mistakes now?

I had planned to remain silent since not many would be likely to accept my thoughts, but I will respond now that I have been personally invited. As indicated earlier, I think we simply need a book on peace. Its title could be something mile "Viewpoints on Peace" or a similar name. However, as far as I can see, Leo insists that the book is to be primarily on his 4-class system (which, incidentally, is so reminiscent of earlier, failed class-based systems of government that emerged from Russia in years past). The group may not be aware, but several leaders in peace movements, formerly GHA members, have dropped out because they are ashamed to associate themselves with the group's current activities. There are over 200 of us, and I have posed the question more than once. Can't anyone answer? In what possible way does this "tetra" system have any relationship to peace. In the most recent proposed chapter we see a clear description of the four classes, and we are informed that world peace will come from their understanding. But please bear with me on this. Isn't true that the four groups, as a totality, represent everyone in the country under consideration? And, if so, then isn't it logical that, when we say they should understand something, aren't we really saying that everyone should understand something? It's a tautology, for it brings us back to the question of how to achieve peace. All that Tetrasociology does is to say that everyone - all four classes - must understand it. But what does that matter. Isn't the main question how to achieve world peace. Not who will do it. Which basically makes the 4-group system no more than a description of the participants. Despite this, we in GHA are being advised that knowing these four groups somehow constitutes a radical new science, an amazing new branch of academia. When in fact, as with many areas in academia, it is nothing more than a new way to say old things. A few weeks ago I urged everyone to vote against using tetrasociology as a basis for the new book. I thought the problem I cite above would be self-evident. But I see very little reaction either way, except from our leader. So, someone please help me. In what way does breaking the population into these four groups have anything to do with achieving world peace? I must be missing something. Sadly, nobody seems willing to address this very central problem. And, without addressing it, the entire "system of thought" under consideration is without merit. I ask again, without any expectation of change this time. What would be wrong with GHA simply working on the problem of how best to achieve world peace? Why waste our time on these 4 sociological groups? I apologize if I have interfered with a groundbreaking new academic discussion. I planned to hold back my thoughts, but I was invited to comment to the entire group. Yours in peace and harmony, Bruce Bruce L.

All of these are published here: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=585 Now before GHA there is a new epistemological question of linguistic character: which term we may choose to name/title GPS? This is not an idle question, as the name of each science – it is its terminological and linguistic constituting in the language of scientific knowledge of humanity, as well as its broad praxiological (practical, social, technological and user) process. We know that GPS is still not exists, therefore, naturally, there is no term to title this science. The GHA is a pioneer in this field. GHA first became aware of this science and its social need in the 21st century and the first attempted to create it for more than eight years on the basis of scientific theory of social harmony, the most detail presented in the GHA book "The ABC of Harmony for Global Peace ... " (2012: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=478) But GHA still have not found the term for this science name. Today I am pleased to offer you for discussion and approval of this term in the first approximation for 3 days up to October 23 inclusively by your YES or NO with your comments. Naturally, I want to stress once again that our choice is not final, we will return to it throughout the whole year of creation of this GPS book. Our initial selection will be just the beginning in the definition of the term for the GPS title. The most typical way to form the name of science in history of human knowledge is a synthesis of the two terms, one of which expresses the subject area of science, and the other - the Greek term "logy", expressing scientific knowledge, a science of this field. For example: sociology - the science of society, psychology - the science of psyche, biology - the science of life, geology - the science of earth, and so on. Of course, other ways of forming the name of science also exist, but today we will experience this way. We might think, based on these assumptions, the GPS name can create very easy and simple: you combine two words – “peace” and “logy”. However, the term "peacelogy" is already used in Russian and English. Search of GOOGLE shows 3,500 cases of its use in the Russian language (as MIROLOGY), and 740 cases of its use in the English language. Their analysis led to the following conclusions. The term MIROLOGY in Russian language discredited by the religious sects (http://www.antimodern.ru/mirology.html), neo-Marxists (http://kommunika.ru/?p=6302), literary pranksters (http://frumich.livejournal.com/216144.html, http://zvezdochet.livejournal.com/88954.html), unfounded claims to "innovation logical thinking in psychology – MIROLOGY” (http://region70.ru/Drugoe/Ostalnoe/16560/?inf=1), etc. This term has been involved in the Russian language on the identity of conscious or unconscious confusion of two completely different concepts - THE WORLD AS COSMOS (the surrounding universe) and PEACE AS LACK OF WAR IN HUMAN SOCIETY. In the English language on Chinese websites usually it is used in the sense of "Philosophical Peacelogy, the Spirituality of peace": (http://m.riss.kr/search/Search.do?queryText=znSubject,Philosophical+Peacelogy&searchGubun=true&colName=re_a_kor&detailSearch=true) or in licensing, marketing and so on, that is far from the GPS. Therefore, this term is not suitable to describe and express GPS name, to avoid any association with discredited or different meanings of this term. The GPS is a new science, which opens a new era of world history - the era of peaceful harmonious coexistence among the peoples of the Earth, which excludes any war. This era is fundamentally different from past, military, era of humanity. Therefore, GPS, which begins this era of humanity, requires a new and appropriate title, not aggravated by the vicious or narrow senses of the past era. In terms of this criterion, I can offer a choice of one of three "pure" (they are not in GOOGLE) terms for the GPS title: 1. Peacelovelogy - combines two universal values of "peace" and "love" with "logy" 2. Peaceharmonylogy - combines two universal values of "peace" and "harmony" with the "logy" 3. Tetrapeacelogy - combines the value of "peace" with its four dimensions of "tetra" and "logy" From the point of view of the GPS scientific content, the third term is the most appropriate and accurate, as it expresses the four-dimensionality of social harmony and global peace from this harmony. But their four-dimensionality, as well as the appropriate term "tetra" are virtually unknown for science and social consciousness, so they will cause constant questions and doubts, for example: What is a tetra? Why is tetra, not a trio, duo, etc.? The four-dimensionality and its term must first find acceptance in science to become an element of the GPS name. Therefore, this term can not be considered preferable. The second term also can not be called preferred by the same arguments, despite the fact that harmony is the ultimate cause and source of global peace. But it is also not known yet science and social consciousness. The most preferred is first term, the values components of which are positive, universal, well- known for world culture and are recognized all over the world. They emphasize the love to peace not war, and they exclude the war. Of course, they do not differ by rigorous science of GPS but they express its fundamental commitment: to love peace, therefore, always and everywhere to produce it that is the main meaning of global peace and its science. Therefore, Global Peace Science is, in truth, PEACELOVELOGY. Conversely: Peacelovelogy is Global Peace Science, born in the 21st century by the GHA and marking a new era of humanity - Global Harmonious Peace. To this era was devoted the GHA first book of 27 authors from 12 countries in 12 languages: Harmonious Era Calendar, 2006: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=190 As for the rigorous scientific understanding of this term, it may be added to it in the future, when this understanding will find universal acceptance. Hence, I choose the first term of the three proposed and invite other members of the GHA to support this choice as the best to date that do not excepts the offers and discussion of other options. As you can imagine, this is a very important voting and a very important choice for the GHA, so I invite all its members to take an active part in it and express your YES to the first term. Of course, the last word may be for each of you. Thank you for your participation in the democratic choice of the term for the name of GPS as a turning scientific knowledge for history of humanity.
