........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,
