Dear friends, GHA members, I am happy to report that the GHA approved the Rules for the GPS book unanimously: we have not received any “NO”, although there were some doubts. The Rules are published here: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=585 Our discussion of these rules was extremely fertile for new ideas, despite the inevitable frictions and misunderstandings. In fact, our discussion turned into a single architecture of collective creativity of GPS and its book. We created a sketch of the science and expressed the imagination of this science in all its dimensions: scientific, philosophical, moral, legal, etc. The abundance and quality of our ideas is amazing! We found in our rich and fertile discussion a new understanding of the GPS book as scientific revolution of peace thinking, which covers all wealth of our ideas. If the Prince of Wales has announced the worldview revolution in his excellent book "Harmony" in 2010 (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=477), then GHA understood and declares now that his GPS book will conscious intellectual revolution of peace thinking in the 21st century. GHA consciously pretends to it now, because this book, for the first time in the world, will provide a universal and holistic scientific theory of global peace on the basis of a scientific theory of social harmony presented in the ABC of Harmony also for the first time in the world. The scientific revolution of peace thinking in the GPS book is the main source of inspiration and enthusiasm of the GHA members and its other authors for collective creative process of its creation about that Ayo wonderful wrote. All the inspiring ideas from our discussions are reflected in the Rules new edition. I will briefly call some of these ideas: • Glen: GPS as the Earth Constitution and moral imperative + Rules amendments, • Bruce: coherent editorial policy in the process of creativity of the GPS book, • Didi: synthesis of new peace ideas, theories, methods, strategies , and practices, • Maria Ascona: the GPS book based on Tetrasociology as a moral constitution of the Earth, • Ayo: the GPS book should be a source of inspiration and enthusiasm for peacemakers, • Hedva: the way of knowledge for global peace is very hard, it requires a common ground of consent, • Julia: moral imperative for GPS to unite humanity, • Uraz: book series for GPS, • Roxana: the theory of spheral being as platform for different thinking the future peace, • Laj: cooperation of peace workers; subjective character of the traditional peace thinking, etc. Five GHA members sent the articles in GPS. Matjaz, inspired by debates, sent even two different articles. I express my heartfelt thanks to everyone for taking part in this meaningful discussion. I am happy to send you in attachment the Rules updated version, which included all the wealth of ??constructive ideas. Thanks to them our Rules have acquired a new quality. They are now clearly revealed the main center of this book as a scientific revolution of peace thinking in the 21st century and the general architectural sketch of its content. At the same time, I added the GPS key ideas by the following essential idea of Prince of Wales along with the interpretation of GHA Harmony is a revolution in our outlook. Charles, Prince of Wales GHA is developing a harmonious outlook and thinking since 2005, but only now we understood its intellectual revolutionary character in Global Peace Science. This science is an intellectual revolution of peace thinking (worldview, theory, philosophy, consciousness) of humanity of the 21st century. Scientific revolution of peace thinking is the response to actual collapse of traditional peace thinking, which was expressed in the 20th century to the present day in its complete impotence before the two world wars, before the daily local wars, before galloping military expenditures and the arms race for the third world war, before rising terror and individual murders, etc. Only this revolution will allow creating Global Peace Science that can not be created in traditional peace thinking. Revolution of peacemaking thinking is a source of inspiration and enthusiasm of GHA and all peacemakers of the world, awaking peace reason through imagination of harmony in Global Peace Science. GHA The Prince of Wales wanted to say that harmony is a revolution in everything, in consciousness and in life. This is a very important concept for the GHA, which we follow and which we are developing in our work since 2005. I invite members of the GHA for two days to send me your editorial changes to this text and to the updated Rules. The updated architecture of contents of GPS book I'll send in the coming days. This will complete our methodological preparation to the difficult path of knowledge and creativity of GPS. All authors will be able to understand what the results we seek in our GPS book and in what way we are going to achieve it.
