Once And For All The Noo-constitution

........ONCE

AND FOR ALL......THE NOO-CONSTITUTION…..

“ OH HIDDEN LIFE, VIBRANT IN EVERY ATOM, OH HIDDEN LIGHT, SHINING IN EVERY CREATURE, OH HIDDEN LOVE, EMBRACING ALL IN ONENESS, MAY ALL WHO FEEL THEMSELVES AS ONE WITH THEE KNOW THEY ARE THEREFORE ONE WITH EVERY OTHER. ” THE MANTRA OF UNITY – by ANNIE BESANT I – INTRODUCTION As we read through the CONCEPTUAL COMMENT of the NOO-CONSTITUTION for MANKIND, we immediately feel a sense of unity, as well as a sense of urgency for the necessary convergence of ideas and ideals, men of all cultures uniting into a single Mankind, described and conceptualized not in its greatness but in its fragility and vulnerability vis-à-vis the great risks that we face. Furthermore, not only it inspires us but urges us to help, to cooperate, and furthermore, to dive deeply into our consciousness and ask: anyhow, who is God in the context of modern science? And who am I? what am I doing if it is clear that I am part of the great work? Thus, initially humble and uncertain, we start to think, meditate and finally absorb the “quintessence of human thought” as Dr. Liubov Gordina has synthesized this paramount human endeavor. II) HISTORY AND MAIN FOCUS Initially presented during the 2nd PLANETARY CONGRESS ON THE BIOSPHERIC RIGHTS, which took place in Brasilia, Brazil, in September of 2006, right in the Preamble, the SIX PRESSURE POINTS FOR SURVIVAL, compiled by the BBC, were recognized by all participants, as being crucial points: food, water, energy, climate change, bioversity, and pollution, proposing consideration of a 7th pressure point about human population growth, without which none of the previous problems would exist. The following focus dealt with Pax Cultura – Pax Biosphera, along with proposals for operations aiming earth rescue, Mission 2012, and planetary peace plans. Then, the Goals of the Congress were presented, along with the general Statement of the Problem, emphasizing that “it was not a biospheric crisis, but a noospheric emergency envisioning the regeneration of Planet Earth”. It was during the presentation of the topic: “The Biosphere-Noosphere Transition: Biosphere – Technosphere-Cybersphere”, that we became aware of the

magnificent contribution of Vladimir Vernadsky, one of the co-originators of the term noosphere (1926), of his paper on “The Biosphere and Noosphere” and finally, his ideas “Thinking about the Noosphere – the Noospheric Solution”. Immediately, we perceived the urgency to extend our studies towards Vernadsky´s ideas as well as accompany the leading role being exerted by the Russian scientists, such as Liubov Gordina, who brilliantly exposed the contributions of NSEWA – WORLD ASSEMBLY OF SPIRITUAL/ECOLOGICAL AND NOOSPHERIC, also referred to as the NOOSPHERIC ASSEMBLY. The presentation of the Noo-Constitution during the 2nd Planetary Congress on Biospheric Rights, involving many countries of the world, mainly from the American continent, was destined to be a successful step towards partnership as well as friendship, uniting not only countries but our ideas and ideals in common. A special workshop was conducted during the afternoons of the Conference, dealing specifically with the NOO-CONSTITUTION; the group then elaborated a Resolution, which was duly presented at the end of our work, announcing the general accepted statements as well as the decisions taken.¹ One of them was the “approval of the activity of the World Assembly in the distribution of ideas of the Noosphere Spiritual-Ecological Constitution for Mankind as a legal base in overcoming consumeristic attitude to life-support habitat and as the main tool for interaction between the civil communities and the leaders of all levels, including the “Alliance of Civilization”, a high-level group established on the initiative of Kofi Annan, then General Secretary of the UNITED NATIONS. III - ABSORPTION Needless to say, the impact of what seems to be a “ONCE AND FOR ALL SOLUTION” would demand of us, as human beings, further meditation and serious consideration, followed by engagement into correct actions and attitudes, in compliance with all the vanguard propositions of NSEWA, work done by such advanced and well-informed writers and contributors, in order to protect all the environment and its beings. The universal character of the Noo-Constitution, indeed sounded to us as the dreamed “quintessence”, since it is an integral piece of work, inspiring and engaging us to pursue major internal and external transformations, and above all, uniting us as Mankind. Duly structured as a legal instrument, the text of the Noo-Constitution contemplates all the major and crucial issues now being dealt by the various people and countries, as discussed in all major world forums, and allows the choice of interaction of every one, within his/her domain of activity of life, an all inclusive document, giving thus a chance to be part of this historical instrument of Peace, Justice and Understanding.

IV - MEDITATIONS - the following texts also inspired and urged us to agree and support the NOO-CONSTITUTION: A) “WE CAN PROGRESS ONLY BY UNITING” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (The Future of Man) “Gradually situated by life at this critical point in the evolution of Mankind, what ought we to do? We hold earth´s future in our hands. What shall we decide? In my view, the road to be followed is clearly revealed by the teaching of all the past. We can progress only by uniting: this, as we have seen, is the law of Life. But unification through coercion leads only to a superficial pseudo-unity. It may establish a mechanism, but it does not achieve any fundamental synthesis; and in consequence, it engenders no growth of consciousness. It materializes, in short, instead of spiritualizing. Only unification through unanimity is biologically valid. This alone can work the miracle of causing heightened personality to emerge from the forces of collectivity. It alone represent a genuine extension of the psychogenesis that gave us birth. Therefore, it is inwardly that we must come together, and in entire freedom. But this brings us to the last question of all: To create this unanimity, we need the bond, as I said, the cement of a favoring influence. Where shall we look for it? how shall we conceive of this principle of togetherness, this soul of the earth? Is it to be in the development of a common vision, that is to say, the establishment of a universally accepted body of knowledge, in which all intelligences will join in knowing the same facts interpreted in the same way? Or will it rather be in common action, in the determination of an Objective universally recognized as being so desirable that all activity will naturally converge towards it under the impulse of a common fear and a common ambition? These two kinds of unanimity and undoubtedly real,
