The Noospheric Ethical/Ecological Constitution for Mankind and the Birth of a Unified Planetary Civilization A Goal of the Noosphere World Congress “Mankind deserves Noospheric Civilization. The Noospheric Civilization is a way to save Mankind from self-destruction.” Noospheric Ethical/Ecological Constitution, Article 132. It is one of the goals of the First Noosphere World Congress (sponsored by the Galactic Research Institute of the Foundation for the Law of Time) to fully affirm and support the implementation of the Noospheric Ethical/Ecological Constitution for Mankind (NooConstitution) (2006). The Noo-Constitution is a brilliant effort at very carefully envisioning all the legally articulated steps to assure the emergence of the new time of the noospheric civilization. Its authors are Dr. L.S. Gordina and Dr. M.Yu. Limonad, President and Vice President respectively, of the Noosphere Spiritual Ecological World Assembly (Moscow). The document develops ideas originally presented as a legislative bill, “On Provision of the Energy/Information Well Being to the Population,” offered to the Russian State Duma (Parliament) of the Federal Gathering of the Russian Federation. In its final form, the Noo-Constitution is a principle instrument for attaining the noosphere and establishing a genuinely noospheric civilization. The First Noosphere World Congress – in support of and supported by the Noo-Constitution – is the first step a unified humanity is taking toward realizing a unified and unitary planetary civilization. This step will return the Earth to its rightful place within the domain of cosmic consciousness. A unified noospheric Earth civilization is the pre-requisite for joining the greater Confederation of cosmic civilizations. This is because noospheric civilization represents a unified and unitary planetary synthesis of intelligence. A unified planetary civilization is the most elementary unit allowed into the Cosmic Confederation. This is because a planetary noosphere represents the first stage of expansion into a truly cosmic consciousness. It is in regard to attaining the level of a unified planetary (noospheric) civilization based on a genuine synthesis of intelligence that the Noo-Constitution becomes vitally important. The significance of this document – especially at this time of the collapsing systems of the old world – is unparalleled. As its title indicates, the document is literally in the form of a legislative constitution. The main body consists of three parts, (and a Conclusion) framed in 14 chapters and 132
Articles. The 14 chapters are preceded by a Conceptual Comment and a Preamble. It is not light reading but a document that should be treated as a guide or handbook in the construction of the post-historic civilization that awaits us after 2012. As such it also provides steps and measures for making a legally safeguarded transition from the old order to the new. The Constitution is not set in stone and contains provisions for its own self-modification. That disclaimer notwithstanding, a carefully study of the Noo-Constitution will cause one to realize how much very deep thinking and consideration has gone into framing measures and codes for virtually all contingencies of human society, communication and personal freedoms arising from the shift into the noosphere. Not the least of these are the steps to be taken in going from a world society constituted of nation states to one of a borderless unified civilization where freedom of movement and decision of where to live one’s life are totally unhindered by present day nationalistic standards mired down in bureaucratic red tape, paranoia and fear. As has been affirmed by the First and Second Planetary Biospheric Congress, humans must snow be granted the same rights as the wind or the birds in passing freely through the biosphere. The emphasis, as the full title of the Noo-Constitution indicates, is in spelling out the human’s ethical, mental and spiritual rights and respect to its ecological (biospheric) responsibilities. Only when these rights and principles are understood in the light of a comprehensive unified awareness will we have the basis for constructing a noospheric civilization. As Article 1, Chapter 1 of the Noo-Constitution states: 1.1 The NOOSPHERIC ETHICAL/ECOLOGICAL CONSTITUTION FOR MANKIND is a foundation-laying (basic) legislative act establishing fundamental legal principles and provisions for organization of the life activity of human society. The establishment of such provisions and principles is forming a unitary, cosmically meaningful civilization and safeguards its beneficial life activity for indefinitely long term. (p.8) From this point onward, the Noo-Constitution thoroughly re-envisions all of the rules of human life on Earth – and in relation, as well, to the cosmic civilization of which we are at this point only dimly aware. Just to give some idea of the comprehensive nature of this document we herein list the Three Basic Parts of the Noo-Constitution along with the chapter titles included in each part: Part I. BASIC PROVISIONS Chapter 1. Field of Application for the Noo-Constitution, Noospheric Spiritual Ecological legislation Chapter 2. The Universe, Planet Earth, the Individual Person, Mankind Part II.

General rights, freedoms and duties of a person and a citizen of the world

The socioeconomic organization of human society Chapter 10. Noospheric Spiritual/Ecological World Assembly Chapter 11. Resolution of disputes and conflicts Chapter 12. International cooperation for the noospheric spiritual/ecological well being of the population Chapter 13. Responsibility for misdeeds and crimes CONCLUSION Chapter 14. Closing Provisions A special round table on the Noo-Constitution will be featured at the First Noosphere World Congress for those interested in the best use and implementation of this unique document spelling out our rights and duties as Earth citizens of the noosphere.
