GHA "Golden Intellectual Fund" for Gandhian Democracy

1. Gandhi Mahatma. My Religion. Varna and Caste. Chapter 36. (This is the first definition of Gandhian Varnas/Spherons of society as a source, “substance” and actors of social harmony, peace, non-violence and their democracy. Gandhi's varnas encompass the entire population and provide its “fourfold division” on varnas based on employment - “profession, crafts.” The main attribute of the varnas is equality: “all varnas are equal, for the community depends no less on one than on another.” Varna in this capacity - “it is not a human invention, but an immutable law of nature ... like Newton’s law of gravitation.” “Hindus by their discovery of this irresistible social tendency have been able to achieve in the spiritual field what no other nation in the world has achieved.” This law is universal and is not limited to one nation: varna is “the law of life universally governing the human family.” False interpretation of varnas as unequal castes in subsequent history and “our failure to follow the law of varna is responsible both for our economic and spiritual ruin” i.e. India. For a detailed analysis of the law of Varna, see Gandhica: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=788 (94-97; 163-164 c).)

"A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels. The world that we have made as a result of the level of thinking that we have done so far, has created problems we cannot solve at the level of thinking at which we created them… We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humankind is to survive."

Comment by Leo Semashko. Substantially new thinking requires a fundamentally new democracy in order to survive, and vice versa: a substantially new democracy requires fundamentally new thinking in order to survive. A new substance of both: Gandhian thinking and Gandhian nonviolent democracy – is one - is Gandhian varnas/spherons, which are theoretically disclosed and proved by world statistics in the GHA “Gandhica”. This book expresses the "substance" of a new manner of thinking and a new democracy: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=848;

“In the hands of a woman is now the salvation of humankind and the planet... now the Great Age of Woman has come. It is the woman who is to perform the double feat - to raise herself and raise her eternal companion, a man...In everything it is necessary to observe the Golden Balance. A woman must assert herself, and therefore the Sword of the Spirit is now given into the hands of the Woman...Verily, she is the Mother-Guardian of the World. Therefore, there is not a single area in life where a man could reign supreme, it is this undivided reign of one Principle that is the product of a dark age...And if the role of a woman as a Mother is high, then it is the Mother who is not the family only, but as the Mother and Great Educator of the people’s consciousness!...The Age of Woman has come, and the woman must raise the mindset of humankind on the next level...I think that a woman should be even more educated and cultured than a man, for it is she who lays the first concepts of statehood in her family... It is in vain that they think that now there is no institutionalized social slavery. And the most egregious of them is the slavery of thought and the slavery of a woman... The time has come for a woman to become a full member of the human family [to eradicate] the greatest shame of humanity - his self-destruction…We will not forget that the woman is commanded to save the world...”: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=821

4. Poincare Henri. The Foundations of Science: “The internal harmony of the world is the only true objective reality.”: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=766 (Gandhian nonviolent democracy is fully consistent with this universal ontological law by the multidimensional societal harmony of the population spherons as its actors and substance.)

5. Marx Karl. German Ideology. Feuerbach: (Definition of the four spheres of "social production": human, things, consciousness/ideas and forms of communication/organization, which were reduced by his materialistic monism to the material, economic sphere, depriving other spheres of independence and turning them into the economy epiphenomena/shadows.): https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/german-ideology/ch01b.htm

6. Kant Immanuel. Perpetual Peace. (In this work, Kant made the greatest discovery of “harmony among men” as an objective social nature that determines the source and guarantor of eternal/perpetual peace. “The guarantee of perpetual peace is nature”. This “nature guarantees perpetual peace by the mechanism of human passions [employment].” This nature “establishes a harmony between morality and politics by transcendental concept of public right”, on which Kant builds a harmonious agreement of “perpetual peace among nations.” With these ideas, Kant anticipates the Gandhian non-violent democracy in its social, political, legal and moral pillars, but does not reach the structure of the Gandhian varnas/spherons as the basis of this democracy and all its pillars.): http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/kant/kant1.htm

7. Montesquieu Charles. The Spirit of the Laws. (He established the fundamental law of democracy: "The firmness and prosperity of democracy always depend from the correct division on the classes of the population with the right to vote". As history shows, all democracies from ancient times still ignorantly ignore this law of the “correct division of the population with the right to vote”, not knowing its objective social foundation and replacing it with a transitory superficial foundation. The population was always divided not on the “correct”, i.e. the true, objective basis of its societal/genetic structure of spherons, but on the grounds favorable to the passing dominant and ruling elites, therefore these democracies quickly degenerated and disappeared from history. only the division of the population based on "substantial" spherons and the division of power itself by equally between them provides the Gandhian non-violent democracy with "firmness and prosperity." In this democracy, the sphere-based multidimensional division of power, which develops, deepens and complements its traditional division at Montesquieu, is the key content of the GHA’s new tenth book “Gandhicracy”.):

Over the past month, we received, found and published on the GHA website several new brilliant intellectual texts that will be fully or partially published in the GHA tenth book: "Gandhicracy": https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=907.

We are happy to present them to you, especially its co-authors, so that you can quote them in your articles in this book or use them as samples, for example, two excellent reviews of “Gandhica” that will be published in the book.

The key from these sources is the ingenious and unique book by Dr. Riana Eisler on gender partnership and harmony, which is 100% consonant with the GHA spheral approach, which forms the foundation for solving the gender problem in our book and which everyone who studies this problem needs to know. This author, like Gandhi, finds in deep history fundamental examples of gender equality and harmony, which served as a source of peace and prosperity for these societies, and which can, should and will be revived on a new scientific and political basis in the 21st century.

A theoretical attempt to revive and comprehend this ancient experience through the modern spheral approach, through spherons, is made in the first chapter of our new book. Anyone who gets acquainted with the Eisler’s book will receive not only intellectual pleasure, but also a powerful charge of optimism, enthusiasm and hope in solving all global problems, especially global peace and ecology through gender equality, partnership and harmony. Easier - through the achievement of a decent, equal position of women. A woman carries the final keys to all problems.

4. Dr. Ellen Brown. The Fed’s Baffling Response to the Coronavirus Explained:

These high mental fruits became the complement of the GHA “Golden Intellectual Fund” (https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=916) for the “Gandhicracy”, where their list was published.

Best wishes for peace from harmony of the spherons and genders in the new, Gandhian democracy,
Dr. Leo Semashko,
