Article V. Commission on Spirituality

Actions to be taken by the General Assembly of the World Summit on Peace and Time proposed by the Commission on Spirituality, June 26, 1999.

Preamble

While the specific beliefs and practices of our specific faith communities vary, we all recognize the fact that our planet and our entire human family are presently faced with a serious moral and spiritual crisis. Furthermore, we recognize that, the reconnecting (re-legario), of our individual and collective human consciousness with the Infinite Unitary Consciousness is an essential step which is necessary to resolving the present ecological, social and political crisis which confronts our human family-because this crisis is, ultimately, a spiritual crisis.

Proposals

We, as the Commission on Spirituality, call upon the General Assembly of the World Summit on Peace and Time, to convene a Spiritual Council for World Peace (or the United Nations Spiritual Forum for World Peace) to meet at the Presidio, San Francisco, California, on June 26, 2000, Crystal Moon 28, to undertake the following spiritual action steps:

A) To review and discuss the scientific discoveries underlying the thirteen- month calendar and the potential relevance of these scientific discoveries to the "spiritual life" of human beings and to the potential solution of the global crisis;

B) To formally approach the United Religions Organization; the Parliament of World Religions; the World Council of Churches; Pope John Paul II; the spiritual leaders of Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, the Spiritual Councils and leaders of the Indigenous Peoples of the world; and the leaders of all other spiritual communities of our human family and seek their active participation, with the members of the Spiritual Council for World Peace in the review and discussion of the scientific and spiritual underpinnings of the thirteen-month calendar-looking toward an endorsement of these findings by these spiritual traditions and an Official Recommendation by these leaders that the followers of each of their spiritual traditions officially adopt the thirteen-month calendar for their use in both their public and private lives;

C) To take the steps necessary to see to it that any implementation of the thirteen-month calendar be designed to protect and safeguard the observance of the High Holy Days, the Liturgical Schedule, and the dates of all sacred Ceremonies and Rituals of every human spiritual tradition;

D) To request that the Leaders of each spiritual tradition research and issue an Official Public Statement to all followers of their spiritual tradition stating how the thirteen-month calendar is consistent with and affirmatively supported of the traditional spiritual beliefs and practices of that spiritual tradition and how the official adoption of the thirteen-month Calendar of Peace is supportive of the positive spiritual and psychological life of human beings and the scientific knowledge of our human family;

E) To officially request that the Leaders of the major spiritual traditions research, draft, issue and deliver to the Presidents of each nation of the world an Official Request that said Presidents’ nation state officially adopt the thirteen-month calendar as of a specific future date to be determined by these Spiritual Leaders and that said Presidents meet to adopt collective ways in which to utilize the thirteen-month calendar to positively promote peace among and between their nations (perhaps by adopting mutually agreed-upon new names for each month and days of the week, which are based upon loving concepts, rather than on the war sources of the names of the months and days of the week of the current Gregorian Calendar);

F) To request that these Spiritual Leaders designate, in common, the 365th Day of the thirteen-month year to be a common Day of Spiritual Reconciliation and Forgiveness, devoted, worldwide, to fasting, meditation on peace, purification, a day to consider forgiveness of all debts;

G) To request that the Spiritual Leaders of each spiritual tradition designate the seventh day of each week and a specific hour of that day to be a time of Meditation on Peace at special locations of energetic power on our planet.

H) To initiate official courses of study in each nation of the world to train Teachers as to the full scientific, spiritual, and cultural implications of the adoption and use of the thirteen-month calendar.
