Comment o­n "Global Peace Science" book

            Umberto Eco discovers that the point in common of the master works of the literature is that of surpassing the mere aesthetic pleasure and to transmit "something more". We live in a world and in a decadent and violent epoch, in which does not abound the defense of the values like Peace and Justice.

Writers of this unprecedented “Global Peace Science” (GPS) book are trying to create for global community a powerful and more effective scientific paradigm capable be an alternative to military science and all wars o­n Earth. The process of peace in GPS is initiated in its conversations, in its interactivity where nothing is so important as the building of mutual respect, which embraces diversity of all main cultures in GPS. The similar love to all in the world is a love to literature, to knowledge as equal for all humanity passion. A unique scientific flower of this literature is GPS, in which the Chapter 11 is dedicated to Peace Poetry and Art. The results are born in this nest of harmony where the child is Global Peace as Peace from Harmony via Science in a common denominator. Literature is Beauty through harmony in words/knowledge and Peace Literature is an ode to Beauty because incarnates it in a new reality: Completed with a full content of deep values and with their fragrance. In fact, there are complex causes of violence and insecurity, and not a unique situation, like a terrorist attack here or there. Strike in other country is being defended as an option to end insecurity from a worldwide perspective, and this is a terrible enemy of peace, just as terrorism is.

Hegemonic countries are trying to convince us of this Maquiavelic alternative, which real intention is surely not o­nly to end terrorism, but to take the resources that other countries have and they need. The industrialization needs resources like petroleum that are not endless, so war is used as a way of obtaining that rich material, what in Latin America is called "the black gold". Terrorists are not psychotic individuals but the result of hate and thirst of revenge. They have seen the bodies of their relatives spread everywhere in their countries and have grown with this dreadful sensation of being massacred for economic and egotistic purposes. Far from terrorism, which is undoubtedly an enemy of peace in Earth, war is not here since 9-11, but since always, because hunger of power and hunger of space or resources, has always been a human desire, and not always he has thought about the consequences for others. Is it possible to live in peace? Surely yes, since we are able to see civilized societies grow peacefully leaving the other to live peacefully too as this unfolded in the unique GPS in its wide scientific picture of global peace.

Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, father of education in Argentina said, "Ideas cannot be killed" as regards and GPS. In tyrannies we can see literature be excluded but always alive and active through sub culture. It is a necessity because population has a voice and something to say. Despite the authoritative exclusion it will find the way towards truth and goodness, because population is like a person who needs to communicate feelings and principles. That is the real importance of literature for peace and culture for peace. Popular culture will always defend life as the most important value and peace as its possibility, its pre condition. In general, nobody wants war or violence as a value over life. Even who wrongly defends war is seeing its existence as a defensive weapon to preserve the life of somebody else. So don't let to afterwards reading the GPS book. The book needs to be studied at all universities worldwide to be a basis of new humankind able to build a conscious peaceful life by the universal peacemaking actors - SPHERONS - disclosed in GPS. This paradigm is harmonic revolution of peacebuilding thinking and consciousness for new humanity.

I see angels dressed in silvered gowns

Their wings are awesomely charming

Their wisdom irradiates serenity because

They work to find the worldwide happiness

They are human beings themselves

But far from economic finalities

They o­nly would love to live in a better world

And love to co define morality

War and distress will end some day

They are the human ignorance fruit

Everyone will study harmonious peace

At academies, universities and schools

I see angels again but now they are the children

Those who have studied to be world citizens

And now they don’t do bullying, humiliate

Or fight the other or discriminate

Now love begins in the inner self

And irradiates to others near

To make a better world be true

And let be happy all the human beings

The ABC of Harmony

Review by

Maria Cristina Azcona

Published: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=506

This book is the revelation of the chance to have a better future for our planet Earth. Yes, it is achievable and, thanks to the book, possible. The GHA team of 76 philosophers and artists from all the points of the globe have found out a true solution to the nowadays dilemma of humankind, the most awful o­ne all along history. The book is the starter o­ne, the pioneer book for a long list of books that will follow it, for sure. This is the very first time we have concreted a SYNTHESIS, a conceptual synthesis of the thinking of so many ideologies all around the same illusion: international understanding and society love among human beings.

As a coauthor I feel the moving emotion in my heart which never fails me to say me the truth: My visceral conviction of being part of a great step in human science, and in human evolution.

I’m sure, plenty sure that the merit of the ABC of Harmony is not o­nly to express a theory about harmonization of society in a global meaning and extension but to be a live proof that GHA has had the ability to make all us, who come from so diverse cultures and religions, to have worked all together around Dr. Semashko Tetrasociology theory. We are not all in perfect agreement, and we have hot discussions around it, but for sure we study it and take it seriously because we find in it a secret clue that makes it verisimilar since it is coherent and perfectly matches with any belief or philosophical structure of mind.

So we together have gave birth to the ABC which is a true experience of joint work with the editor who marvelously doesn’t want us to be his followers but democratically he wants us to be his academic team.

I enjoyed very much to coauthor this book because I learned day by day even today while writing this review, to work humbly and constantly towards the human revolution of love, peace and harmony. When you go through the pages of this book, you find yourself placid and quiet in mind, you feel peace, you feel harmony and so you stop breathing, you stop living the way you always lived and start to understand what we mean in this book: we mean to live it, to feel it with your heart and not o­nly with your conscience. Because harmony is not in the outer world, it is in your own spirituality and into your own heart, there, where miracles are dreams coming true.

Marнa Cristina Azcona

A Guide to Find Peace

With reviews BY STEPHEN GILL, ADA AHARONI and ERNESTO KAHAN

EXCERPT

1.2.-The mystery of Peace

Which are the connections between external and internal peace, if there is any? Cells nutrition through osmosis is a sample of this connection. Out spaces and in spaces are separated and paradoxically connected through the same wall. A necessary balance or homeostasis must prevail to make possible the fluency of positive energies in both directions.

So o­n, we conclude that cell's health is a great influence for the entire organism, meaning many peaceful souls or internal worlds, may construct a peaceful society, through time.

Problem is to cut off the vicious circle of violence, if we consider violence as the opposite of peace or at least the lack of it.

Psychology of Groups has taught us that individual reactions of persons when they are into a group are responses to the attitude of the entire group considered as a lively entity. In the opposite way, the actions of the group influence o­n the individual reactions, in a dynamic perpetuity. If we believe it, we must accept the evidence: individual initiatives towards Peace can modify the external worldwide meanings of reality. Some followers of Chaos theory say that even the flight of a butterfly in Japan is able to provoke a tornado in Miami and vice versa.

A Violent neighborhood in the outsides of a small house probably will be a sufficient influence to provoke the appearance of at least o­ne boy with bad behaviour at school, in that family.

War as a tremendous fact, strikes our conscience in a daily dance of blood and fright. Of course, the other direction of irradiation is more slowly and "hard to believe", but is not impossible and that characteristic must be enough to conclude that we need to initiate the process of education. Education of human beings, with a clear objective: to develop capability of self-control and serenity.

1.3.-Social Peace

Peace is like a jar made of crystal, manufactured by a million hands through history. When its equilibrium begins to unstable and it breaks, its fragments spread and stab into a million hearts, from where it starts a new chain of cooperative work, and with the unique weapon of education, it reaches a new stability, again and again, enforcing its strength even more and more, each time it is re established. Experience of war has influenced humanity through eras, but till is not learning from its bad consequence Peace is formed by

· A peaceful climate

· Harmony

· Tranquility

· A pro-peace state

· The effective existence of a State of Law that respects Human Rights

· A pro-peace culture

· Profound conscience of Democracy

· Reject for violence, war and terrorism

· Diffusion of a pro-peace literature and art

· Legislation of the publishing business quitting taxes to this kind of books and literary works.

1.4.-Peace is the most important cultural value

Culture is the "Totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought" as it says at "The American Heritage English Dictionary". In this sense, culture includes Peace as an acquisition of society.

We can define Peace as a cultural value that is the most important value consensually because it leads the human society towards the protection of life. Peace allows life to grow, culture to be developed and systematic education and non-systematic education to be forwarded and transmitted.

We valuate Peace when it is not updated, when it is absent from a historic period of time in society groups.

The lack of peace brings humanity to fear, desperation, annoyance, distrust and isolation. Also it destroys any possibility of philosophic development about cherish of life. Lack of Peace is not o­nly the violence, but also the results of a violent environment and a paranoid climate. The effects are devastating for art, science and literature. The economic resources and political decisions and interests are concentrated in defensive or offensive activities and not in the maintenance of education or the aim to assist poor citizens groups. Social Peace is the first and foremost important value to be pursued if humanity haves any hope of subsistence. Humanity haves any hope of subsistence.

1.5.-Peace needs a state of righteousness

However, peace is not o­nly the lack of a violent society. Violence is sometimes the consequence of the lack of legality in the government itself. When legal power is corrupted, the civilians will probably reject to continue their lives in peace. They will try to use street manifestations and even destruction as a media to obtain satisfaction to their just demands. That's why peace needs, in accord with the first definition, a state of righteousness characterized by the following items:

· A democratic state where power is in rotation of political groups and population opinions are represented in the official government.

· Assurance of individual respect towards others, based in updated and just laws and the sanctions in front of its default.

Assurance of the transparence in official decisions and activities, far from corruption. We can define official corruption as the negligence in the governmental obligations to the community, motivated for the possibility of a secret payment.

A GUIDE TO FIND PEACE

Foreword by Stephen Gill, Dr-Canada

Marнa Cristina Azcona from Argentina wears several hats. She is a poet, psychologist, fiction writer, editor and researcher. She is also involved in peace organizations, like the IFLAC (The International Forum for the Literature and Culture of Peace), for which she is o­ne of the directors. Azcona founded Bilingual MCA, a non-profit organization, to promote bilingual literature for peace, and edits an e-zine for the promotion of peace by bilingual poets worldwide. She also organizes poetry readings for the members of this organization, who visit Argentina.

In addition to her involvement with these and other activities related to peace and the creative arts, she has authored several books most of being collections of poems. She contributes her literary outputs regularly to international journals and magazines. I read her work often in these outlets. She has been honored with many awards.

It is not her awards that matter— it is rather her concerns for peace. Her obvious message in poetry and prose is to live and let live. This serious timely message keeps providing a fodder to her imagination. As an educational psychologist and peace maker, she is aware of the fruits of peace and the dangers of wars. This is the centre of her writing.

As a skilled jeweler, Marнa Cristina Azcona knows how to transform her words into a unique form and with the colors and brush of her imagination she presents not o­nly the hands and feet of peace, but also its heart. She brings out the inner realities of the world of today, and shapes them into the beauty of nonviolence. This keeps the fire of her imagination burning.

Marнa Cristina Azcona surprises me with her new book, in which she assumes the role of a concerned mother, guide and a responsible teacher. The book is about counseling children. She has organized important steps to take in order to use literature for the growth of a child into a mature citizen of peace. Some sections of this valuable book are directed towards peace education, and resolution of conflicts through the use of arts and literature. She combines her skills as a poet, professional studies as a psychologist, and her own personal concerns, to explain how the ambrosia of peace can be tasted through listening, reading and lyrics. Some important chapters are about education at home, parental roles with talented children, social peace through education, culture and peace, and social poetry.

Being a poet for peace, also from the profession of teaching, and now as a director of the Children's Aid Society in my hometown in Canada, I am also involved with children. Without preparing them for the future, human efforts to build an edifice of peace will not be of a lasting nature. That is why the General Assembly, in its resolution of ten principles, recommends observing a day every year to promote the welfare of the children all over the world. This resolution was adopted o­n November 20, 1959. Observation of this day varies from nation to nation. The Government of Canada designates the 20th of November as the Universal Children's Day. The United Nations and UNESCO also observe the same day as Universal Children's Day.

These recommendations of the General Assembly recognize the need to protect children from racial, and other forms of discrimination, and against all forms of neglect, cruelty and exploitation. These recommendations also recognize that children need an atmosphere of affection, understanding and of moral and material security to grow up in. As I say in my poem "These Children", children "have yet to learn/ to deal with the muddy pellets of abuse/ or the ice of neglect/ while maturing into the oaks/ of exceptional might." Therefore, children need guidance and a home of peace and love.

I feel pleased to invite readers to enter from any portal of this book, to see the beauty of the pen, imagination, skill and professionalism of Marнa Cristina Azcona. The powers of her observation, as well as the inner realities, are other matchless features of this book.

Entrants will find meaningful gems arranged in a style that is individual and charming. A Guide to Find Peace cannot be ignored by parents, teachers, librarians and anyone who is engaged in building a better future for humankind.

Obviously, Marнa Cristina Azcona wears several hats. However, these hats have been textured with the beautiful rainbow of peace.

Comment o­n the book "A Guide to find Peace" of Marнa Cristina Azcona

By Ernesto Kahan*, Israel 2008

Marнa Cristina Azcona is a careful, immaculate, serious author in the use of the language, deeply intellectual and bilingual. She is the director of the Argentine section of IFLAC – International Forum for the Literature and Culture of Peace, and IFLAC in Spanish, and also the

creator of the web page: Bilingual MCA, Bilingual Poets & Writers for Peace. Since these and other places, Azcona promotes tolerance in the world and arrives at all the corners o­n Earth and to the hearts of the writers that contribute to such culture of peace.

I repeat what I wrote a year ago o­n the author: Marнa Cristina Azcona is a leader and universal ambassador for peace; is a flag of IFLAC in Argentina and the world, tireless worker, genius humanist and generator of literary esthetics. If humanity took example of her life, the world would be much better.

It is not then coincidental that have given birth the book "A Guide to find Peace". This is a text that covers the theme of peace since practically all the angles: Individual, family, neighborhood, national and universal. That it is why since it was published about o­ne or two months, we already have received positive reactions from all the continents.

The author understands that peace is a healthy state inside the interior and outside of the individuals, and in their relation with the surrounding world. Her proposals in this book are fruit of her own social and professional experience. She wrote about herself:

"I have thirty-two long years working professionally. During the first twenty years I attended behavioral and learning problems in children. During the innumerable sessions of family that I carried out, to diagnose emotionally and then to orient the parents o­n the ways in which they should treat their children, I discovered the imperceptible threads that connect these problems with parentsЁ attitudes and emotional factors, in a clear relation of cause and effect. Subsequently I could go detecting the processes that carry to the construction of a solid conjugal, familiar and personal happiness, through the cultivation of the human virtues and the education in values. Finally I get interest into the reach of peace through the cultivation of literature and especially through the cultivation of poetry.

Since the beginning, the reading of the book is done with great increasing interest. Then, when the reader is more involved and familiar with the text, become highly motivated and identified with it and always learn.

The author begins analyzing the individual aspects of the problematic, like displeasure and its causes. Among the diverse psychosomatic states includes a wide collection of symptoms and signs, discusses the methodology for the diagnosis and presents strategies (such as innovative thinking) to confront them. Then the author focuses o­n the educational aspects, to which dedicates a lot of attention. Her thoughts are directed toward the education for peace and toward the resolution of conflicts by the use of arts and literature. In the process of the reading the reader gradually arrives to the general aspects of the society and to the global community.

As a touch of gold, Azcona finalizes the text with the role of the poetry, which is her beloved matter, and offers her poems that impact every anxious intellect. Those poems are various and many of them complain about the inhuman world situation and ask, as a dream, for a change that will arrive though the heart illuminated by the supreme force of the celestial spirit. In her poem "World without Brain" she said:

Humanity has lost the route to love

Because is like a brainless little dove

[…]

Each poem is a pray for those who suffer and pain. It is enough to take a look at the titles of the poems, to understand what the principal subjects of them are: Window to Heaven, Sounds of the Angel, Sapience Tree, The Unemployed's Prayer, The Carton Picker's Prayer, Launderer's Prayer, Planet Earth's Prayer, Peace Goes o­n, Hope, Brainless Earth, Humanity, and many other, that it necessary to read in order to perform, as she says, "better flights"

It is impossible to comment this book without go step by step by each o­ne of the elements that they compose it. It is preferably to suggest to the readers to read it with care. It is a book that people must read it repeated times to discover everything that has been exposed and hidden. The place for archive it, should be always next to the hand and the spirit.

Is accurate to say, as it is written in the magnificent foreword of Dr. Stephen Gill, of Canada: "A Guide to Find Peace" cannot be ignored by parents, teachers, librarians and anyone who is engaged in building a better future for the humankind.

My gratitude to Marнa Cristina Azcona who has published this exceptional book, and from my personal view, for her impressive literary criticism she included in "A Guide to Find Peace" about my book entitled "Genocide" that I wrote in collaboration with the Japanese author Taki Yuriko.
