Dr. Leo Semashko,

GHA President and 14 co-authors from 10 countries:

Laj Utreja, USA; Ernesto Kahan, Israel; Ananta Giri, India; Mariam Khan, Pakistan; Heli Habyarimana, Rwanda; Kae Morii, Japan; Mary Luz Sandoval Robayo, Colombia; Jean Basabose, Rwanda; Nina Meyrhold, USA; Ammar Banni, Algeria; Susana Roberts, Argentina; Alexander Olshansky, Russia; and Nina Goncharova, Russia

Key concept: Harmonism Strategy of Kazakhstan – A conscious building of harmonious civilization in Kazakhstan and in the world as a voluntary responsibility in the 21^st century.

The concept of Harmonism can be better understood in its three markings: 1. Reality of harmonious civilization, 2. Science of this reality, and 3. Politics, ideology and worldview of this reality. With these applications, harmonism is alternative to industrialism in all its forms – imperialism, totalitarianism, nazism, colonialism, capitalism, socialism, post-industrialism, and modernism. Introduction of the term harmonism is justified with the birth of a new reality – a harmonious civilization for which it is an abbreviated term.

Part 1: Prerequisites for Kazakhstan Harmonism Strategy

1. Kazakhstan: 20 years of development as the preparation to a harmonious civilization

From its independence o­n 16 December 1991 and approval of Nursultan Nazarbayev as its first President o­n April 24, 1990, Kazakhstan has showed a steady trend of development toward a harmonious civilization for almost 20 years. Some of the noted milestones of this trend include:

- Recognition of Kazakhstan as the center of Eurasian harmony with the approval of October 18, 1992 as the Day of Spiritual Consent (Harmony),

- Since 1992, regular hosting of regular national and international conferences, congresses and forums o­n peace, harmony and spiritual culture, turning into the current World Forum of Spiritual Culture o­n October 18-20, 2010,

- In 2003, the Spiritual Forum in Astana approved as the historical “Eurasian Charter of Peace and Harmony,”

- In 1997, building the new capital in Astana with a unique Peace and Harmony Palace, combined with the National Museum of Culture of Kazakhstan, Opera House, University of Civilizations, exhibition and concert halls, a library and research center of world religions and spiritual offices. Many necessary structures were and are being developed in Astana to make it the capital of a new civilization.

2. Trend toward global harmonization in the past 20 years

After the collapse of the Soviet Union since 1990, the world development is moving away from the fundamental “socialism – capitalism” economies to a new historical alternative, “industrialism – harmonism” or “industrial – harmonious” civilization. Within the industrial civilization, the embryos of harmonious civilization arose and developed o­n their own in their various capitalist (U.S., EU, Scandinavia, etc.) and socialist (China) forms. They created a world trend of global harmonization and found expression in dozens of facts. The GHA realized and gathered more than 65 such facts since 1947 in "Epoch of Harmony Globalization” (http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=382).

From 1990, a trend in the civilization way of existence began to emerge – from degenerating industrialism, unable to solve the aggravating global problems to the cellular birth of harmonism (harmonious civilization). It changes the way of life of humankind in all its spheres fundamentally and evolutionarily. This fundamental shift consists in the change of priority between social spheres, which o­nly provides the key to solving all the global problems and crises. Industrial civilization is a priority for the economy with its supreme principle, maximization of profit. It is good for a segment of the society and not for all.

Economic theories from Marxism to neo-liberalism have not passed the test time and proved to be inadequate at present. In contrast, the harmonious civilization is a priority of sociosphere (human sphere) with its supreme principle of harmonious (holistic) development of the human and to maximize his harmony. The spheral priority of this shift requires reorientation of resources and capital from the economy to sociosphere. Included in this shift is the consumption of material goods for social and spiritual benefits. New civilization questions the undivided domination of economy and its ‘one-dimensional’ (Marcuse) materialistic and monistic mentality. It requires and creates a new, harmonious way of thinking, and a new harmonious human - homo harmonicus.

Harmonious civilization and globalization of harmony does not become apparent o­n the surface of the other economic factors, but appears in the deep structural level of social spheres, where economy is o­ne of four, and not the most important for human sphere. Therefore, harmonious civilization requires learning of other factors and spheres. o­nly at the level of harmonious thinking about harmonious society the social cognition and sciences must also rise to the level of spheres. Similar requirements of the nascent civilization have found the first scientific recognition in the GHA program book "Harmonious Civilization", which included its most important of the 20 projects of global harmony: http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=379.

Globalization of harmony creates a favorable situation for Kazakhstan harmonization at the world stage, and vice versa. In this crucial global aspect Kazakhstan is in accord with the world tendency of development of modern humanity. This is the most favorable condition and fundamental prerequisite for Kazakhstan Strategy of Harmonism in the 21^st century.

3. Birth of a global harmonious civilization in 2009 (significant advances from many global sectors toward building harmonious civilization)

The modern history is an unprecedented tectonic shift of human civilization/noosphere from the outgoing industrial o­ne to the nascent harmonious o­ne. Its seismic tremors are felt at all levels of spiritual culture. The spontaneous flow of collective cultivation of a harmonious global civilization streams worldwide.

In 2009, the GHA witnessed the birth of global harmonious civilization with the appearance of its first three attributes:

1. Beginning of nuclear disarmament of the USA and Russia in 2009, which is impossible in militaristic industrial civilization,

2. Appearance of its first theoretical model in 2009 (GHA book "Harmonious Civilization": http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=379), and

3. Mathematics of Harmony as the arithmetic of a new civilization: Prof. Alexei Stakhov, Canada in 2009 (http://www.worldscibooks.com/mathematics/ 635.html).

One example of this civilization that impacts economics is an unprecedented philanthropy of the 40 U.S. billionaires. Their decision refutes all the laws of economism and explicable o­nly in harmonism.

Its social examples are the EU from 1992 and China from 2006, both building a harmonious society in their territories with a collective population of about 2 billion – almost a third of mankind.

The above historical facts speak for themselves that the world has entered the threshold of a harmonious civilization/noosphere. Among the countries that came closest to its building and noted for their active aspiration are: Malaysia, Singapore, Tunisia, Kazakhstan and others. Kazakhstan is not alone in its objective tendency for building harmonious civilization.

4. Kazakhstan priority in the Eurasian harmonization and the role of Nursultan Nazarbaev

Before embracing the birth of a new civilization out of necessity, most countries will first review its positive impact o­n their countries. But o­nly the most dynamic and relatively a few of them will become its conscious leaders. Kazakhstan has all the necessary background, as well as a national leader – President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is aware of this trend and has the political will to implement it.

Kazakhstan's priority in Eurasia is due to its central geographical position, which connects the most powerful regions of modern harmonization – the EU, developing o­n the basis of harmony principle, “unity in diversity” (this is the official EU motto) and China, which in 2006 proclaimed building a harmonious society as the state policy. However, until now, this trend has not gone beyond their regional boundaries. The EU and China, however, are close to its conscious globalization. In September, 2010, China has hosted an international conference o­n harmonization of the Christian and Confucian civilizations in Nishan. Kazakhstan's location between the EU and China creates very favorable conditions, which can not o­nly be used o­nly internally, but also international in building a global harmonious civilization with the Eurasian priority.

5. Recognition of the “Universal Declaration of Harmonious Civilization” and “Kazakhstan Harmonism Strategy” by the President and the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The uniqueness of building a harmonious civilization, unlike all other civilizations of humankind, is its conscious and scientific characters. This eliminates any violence or revolution in its deployment and ensures a peaceful and evolutional way. The first general vision and scientific framework of a harmonious civilization, which, of course, will be continuously refined and developed, is presented as “Universal Declaration of Harmonious Civilization” in the GHA program book "Harmonious Civilization” (http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=379).

This Declaration is a philosophical and sociological basis for a harmonious civilization. The Declaration is the result of a five-year collective spiritual activity of the GHA in the field of public sociology of global civil society that aspires for this vision. The Declaration provides a common scientific base for the GHA 20 private projects of global harmony. The Declaration is the fundamental theoretical document o­n the basis of which a Strategy of Harmonism for Kazakhstan is created. Both documents are the starting point for building a harmonious civilization. They are approved by Parliament and President of Kazakhstan.

The approved Declaration as a universal document, intended not o­nly for domestic but also external uses, is proposed by Kazakhstan to make national amendments and signature by all states of the world.

Philosophical foundation of a harmonious civilization is specified in a set of disciplines with scientific and technological support.

6. Scientific and technological support for building a harmonious civilization

This support includes the development of the next fundamental disciplines:

- Pedagogy and education of a harmonious civilization

- Harmony of world religions

- World philosophy of harmony

- World History of harmony

- Natural sciences of harmony

- Musical and artistic harmony

- Sociocybernetics of harmony

- Social harmony theory, eternal peace, justice, etc.

- Sociology of a harmonious civilization

- Culture of Harmonious Peace in harmonious civilization

- Linguistics of harmonious civilization

- Statistics of harmonious civilization

- Mathematics of harmonious civilization

- Economy and Finance of harmonious civilization

- Ecology of harmonious civilization

- Politics and Law of harmonious civilization

- Political Psychology of harmonious civilization

- Harmonious leadership and management

- Harmony of the personality and psychology of harmony

- Information, social, cultural and political technology of harmonization.

Conduct research for the preparation of the necessary scientific, pedagogical and managerial staff required for the creation of departments and research centers in the first World Harmony Academy in Astana for the development of these disciplines. The conceptual projects of this Academy in different variants were prepared in the GHA: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=392.

7. World Foundation for Harmonious Civilization (FHC) with headquarters in Astana

Harmonious civilization is the most important initiatives for its higher social priorities and conscious character. The main and most capacious subject of its investments is the harmonious education, as an investment to its core, social, capital. This is the path of conscious, peaceful and nonviolent development of a harmonious civilization. It requires the construction of tens of thousands of schools and academies for training of the teachers in each country. Therefore, a new civilization needs a requisite obligation of financial resources. This is achievable by reducing unproductive expenditures, especially military, o­nly gradually over time.

For starters, it needs a new and distinct source of funding. The recent example which created the modern history includes an initiative of 40 American billionaires to transfer most part of their wealth o­n the development of social capital – health and education. The essence of this initiative is the conscious self-limitation of individual material wealth for the sake of social goals.

Its scale in the U.S. alone is estimated at 600-900 billion dollars, not counting billionaires from other countries. If Kazakhstan formally adopts the Strategy of Harmonism, it will afford itself an opportunity to establish, under the leadership of Nursultan Nazarbayev, the World Civic Foundation for Harmonious Civilization (FHC) with headquarters in Astana. The mission of the FHC would be to fund the construction of the Academies of Harmony and schools of harmonious education through donations of billionaires. The FHC will bear the status of an institute of global civil society.

The International Advisory Council of the FHC will be comprised of the billionaire-donors and prominent world figures, the Nobel Prize Laureates, the heads of well-known public organizations, and prominent figures of culture, art, etc. The FHC will become the official financial center soliciting donations of billionaires from all countries and ensuring the high moral, social and historical meaning associated with such donations. The FHC will transform Astana into the financial capital of a harmonious civilization and the resulting benefits for its country.

Should the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan recognize the framework of proposition as an important undertaking, the next logical step will be its development and phased implementation of infrastructure, which is presented below.

The development of the Harmonism Strategy Project requires creation of International Center in Astana, manned by the GHA staff. In the future, a Ministry of Harmonism Strategy of Kazakhstan with a special status may be necessitated.

Part 2: Kazakhstan Harmonism Strategy: building a harmonious civilization in the country and the world in four spheres

I. Strategic Directions of Harmonism in the social sphere

1. Building schools and academies of harmonious education in the country and the world

Having the FHC financial resources, Kazakhstan receives ample opportunity to design and construct schools and academies of harmonious education around the world, beginning in Kazakhstan as a testing ground for this education. In collaboration with FHC it solicits and engages the appropriate design and construction corporations. Conceptual projects of the global harmonious education in various forms developed by the GHA are presented in its books and o­n the GHA site: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=392. These projects are necessary platform for the launch of harmonious education and need to be developed. After their development, Kazakhstan Government works with FHC for the relevant international program to build schools and academies of harmonious education in Kazakhstan and in other countries. Correspondingly, first national and then international construction corporations are engaged for the construction of schools and academies of harmonious education.

2. Mass service network of the Centers of Harmonization for the population

With the assistance of professional personnel well versed in Academies of harmony, Kazakhstan deploys a wide network of Centres of Harmonization for the population with the appropriate public services of harmonization: family, health, individual and family psychology, family education, child development, etc. The network scope is gradually transformed into international, making a powerful source of new funds for the construction of a harmonious civilization. The organization of the Centers of Harmonization begins with national and then international corporation. The original project of the service network for harmonization of the population was approved in the GHA: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=398.

3. Children priority in society: Law – Children Suffrage Executable by Parents

The conscious (educated) spheral classes as actors of social harmony and the priority of children are the social basis of a harmonious civilization in any country. Formation of spheral classes of the population through a system of harmonious education is a lengthy process. The development of required education requires at least two generations, approximately 40 years. Another, parallel, and faster way to harmonize and strengthen the population in this direction is the social priority of children, provides an appropriate Law o­n children's suffrage executed by parents. Theoretical and social rationale of the Law and its project for Russia was prepared by a GHA prior international group in 2004 and published in a relevant brochure in Russian and English languages o­n the site:

http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=211.

Kazakhstan, adopting the Harmonism Strategy, becomes the world's proving ground to test this highly humane and harmonious law and heals the social climate of any society aiming it at the most fundamental social resource - the children. As they grow up they become and produce all societal resources. Therefore, the quality of children determines the quality of human resource, hence the quality of society as a whole. A harmonious civilization cannot be realized without placing the priority of children. Relevant Law, together with a system of harmonious education and the harmonization of the population will provide Kazakhstan a powerful harmonious social development.

II. Strategic Directions of Harmonism in the information/cultural sphere

4. World Festivals of Harmony in Astana (an analogue of the Olympic Games)

At the initiative of Kazakhstan President the Harmonic movement is created. It would be held in any o­ne of the different forms: the regular (annual or biennial) Festivals of Harmony, the exhibition, and contests and advertisements of the harmonious products in all spheres and sectors of human activity. The Festivals of Harmony would be a promotional activity for harmonious civilization, and will become a powerful source for its progress and financing. International corporation would be solicited for the organization of the Harmony Festivals. The initial project of the Harmony Festivals was worked in the GHA: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=399.

5. World Harmony Contest – Harmony Muse

At the initiative of Kazakhstan President, the World Harmony Contest – Harmony Muse is created. It is similar to the World Beauty Contest, but taking into account the multilateral criterion of harmonious development of the four spheres of the woman. Undoubtedly, the contest would find broad support from women around the world as it is in their interest much greater than the Beauty Contest. Harmony Contests, of course, retain the attributes of advertising of women's accessories that will make them economically viable, and will be an important source of financing for the construction of a harmonious civilization. A relevant international corporation may be created for organizing these Contests at different levels: local, national, regional and world. Many important aspects of the contest are discussed o­n the GHA site: http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=388.

III. Strategic Directions of Harmonism in the organizational sphere

6. World Political Club-2009 of harmonious civilization

Under the leadership of the President of Kazakhstan the World Political Club-2009 is created for the international political support of building a harmonious civilization. It brings together the Heads of States and major international civil organizations. With time the Club-2009 will be an important tool for financing of building a harmonious civilization. Its organizational structure, goals and objectives are concisely defined in the GHA relevant project: http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=409. Club-2009 can continue with its own structure or after the structure of the UN as an international body of a harmonious civilization.

7. Harmonization of policy and the state, including the country's Constitution

The implementation of the previous steps in the new quality of education and new level of spiritual cultural and social consciousness, will afford a firm basis for the conscious (nonviolent) transforming politics and state in the harmonious political institutions of a harmonious civilization. Creation of a harmonious government, state, constitution, multiparty political system, and democracy can be based o­nly o­n the appropriate educational and spiritual development of the population. Such projects, especially harmonious government and democracy are discussed in the GHA site:

http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=424

http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=428.

8. Development of alternative reserve currency "Harmon"

Under the leadership of the President of Kazakhstan an International Research Center is createdin Astana to work an alternative reserve currency "Harmon" as the currency of a harmonious civilization for a perspective of not less than 20 years. The conceptual project of this currency is prepared in the GHA: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=390

IV. Strategic Directions of Harmonism in the economic sphere

9. Harmonization of the economy

Harmonious education of the population, evolution of harmonious spiritual culture and harmonious democracy will create the necessary preconditions for a balanced harmonization of economy at all levels and of private and state property in the interests of all classes and groups without the economic crises and shocks. Projects of the harmonious and just economy are discussed in the GHA sites: http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=ru_c&key=60 (in Russian),

http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=414

http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=61.

V. Importance of Harmonism Strategy for Kazakhstan and the world offering a unique image and unique self-identity in the 21 century

The value of Harmonism Strategy for Kazakhstan and the world can not be overestimated. It will provide a deep mental, cultural and social shift in the life of the nation and the world-at-large.

Briefly, the importance of this Strategy for Kazakhstan can be stated as follows:

• It will be a powerful stimulus for both, the internal development of Kazakhstan and its international recognition as a leader of the world harmonization with all the ensuing economic, political and cultural preferences for its accelerated development in the 21^st century.

• It will turn Kazakhstan as the leader and cradle of the global harmonious civilization in its first world-conscious and cultural source, and President Nazarbaev will rise from the nation's leader to the leader of the global harmonious civilization.

• It would be a logical extension and a new expression of the accelerated dynamics of Kazakhstan, which is closer to the other CIS countries.

• It promises Kazakhstan a great leap to in all spheres.

• It will enable Kazakhstan, as a testing ground of the global harmonious civilization, to accumulate in order to develop the country not o­nly the own but also the world's resources.

• It will enable Kazakhstan to create its own Eurasian model of harmonization, which differs from both the Chinese and the European, but incorporates their preferences.

• It will be the most ambitious strategy for Kazakhstan in the 21 century, which will provide to Kazakhstan a unique world image and unique self-identity.

• The nation and every citizen can find in it inspiring, mobilizing and passionate national/global idea together with the great meaning of life. This idea is global o­n a final goal and national o­n the way to it.

The importance of Harmonism Strategy of Kazakhstan to the world is as follows:

• Kazakhstan, with its relatively small size (a population of about 16 million) in the Eurasian space would become the world testing laboratory for the different ways and options of development of a harmonious civilization. The experience gained will be instructive for the West and the East, for the Christian and Muslim countries, as well as for other small and large countries.

• The Kazakhstan Harmonism Strategy would be of particular importance to China and EU in implementing their domestic policy of harmonization. Correspondingly, this would receive full support of China and EU, as well as their assistance in its implementation.

• Kazakhstan Strategy of Harmonism would serve as a beacon for countries that are close to Kazakhstan, but relatively distant and not so prepared for a new civilization, such as Russia and countries of Central Asia.

• Under the influence of this Strategy of Kazakhstan the CIS can be transformed into the Commonwealth of the Harmonious States (CHS). Similarly, BRIC, under the auspices of Kazakhstan and China can also be transformed into the CHS.

10. Conclusion.

The represented sections of the Harmonism Strategy are not exhaustive, and will continuously develop and periodically (e.g. o­nce every two years) approve in updated form. This development can go in depth, by separating and detailing of the proposed sections, and in breadth including its new branches of different spheres and creating new international movements – Harmonious Peace, Women, Youth, Educators, Cultural and Religious Figures for a Harmonious Civilization, etc. Kazakhstan may consider initiating a series of international contests, such as the sculpture of a harmonious civilization (the GHA has its image), the Harmony Hymn, the Encyclopedia of the World Harmony, the textbooks for schools and academies of harmony, the architecture of the Harmony Academy campus and the Harmony School, as well as academic contest in mathematics of harmony, statistics, technologies of harmonization, etc.

It is difficult to speak about terms of realization of this Strategy, but it is clear that it will take a long time, and in fact, it will be the program for the 21^st century.

In this century all countries have o­ne goal – to build a harmonious civilization to overcome the escalating crisis of industrialism, to survive by the concerted orchestrate efforts and live together peacefully and prospering in the global village. The road to this goal at each country is very different.

The Global Harmony Association is an international organization and civil institution of public sociology of harmonious civilization and is capable to work the Strategy of Harmonism for any country at the request of its government.
