REFLECTIONS ON A GLOBAL RENEWAL
OF TODAY’S WORLD

“That which is above is the same as that which is below,
and that which is below is the same as that which is above,
for the performance of miracles of the One Thing.”
The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus (second century of the common era)

Almost everyone today would agree that it has become urgent to undertake a major clean-up of our planet on multiple levels. A radical house-cleaning has become indispensable in order to allow the Men and Women of today – and tomorrow – to rediscover their dignity with mutual respect and in a spirit of sharing. Indigence, extreme poverty, the misery of many compared to the excess and the abundance available to a few are simply intolerable: while some stuff their faces and seek desperately the most efficient way to lose weight, others – and too many of them! – suffer the torments of constant hunger and devastating living conditions.

I reject any ideological, political or religious label. My goal is certainly not to be a catastrophist Cassandra. I plead simply for a universal ethic and giving back hope and ideals to our children. The great minds of this world – the early Christians with their philosophy of sharing, later, the Brother Masons, Saint-Simonians or radical communists, the St. Francis of Assisis, Mother Teresas and Martin Luther Kings of this world – did they not all have the same ideal of harmony and fairness?

MY OBJECTIVE

TO FORM AN ASSOCIATION TO UNITE ALL TYPES OF GOOD WILL READY TO ACT ENERGETICALLY (THROUGH PUBLICATIONS, LECTURES, RESEARCH, EVENTS AND CAMPAIGNS USING ALL MEDIA), IN FRANCE AND ABROAD, IN ALL AREAS OF SOCIETAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIFE: TO WORK TOWARDS GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS RAISING AND REGULATING COLLECTIVE OR INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BEHAVIOURS HARMFUL TO THE PLANET AND ITS INHABITANTS.
THEN IN A SECOND PHASE TO FORM A PLANETARY COUNCIL OF ELDERS ©

WHY?

- Because Gaia, our earth, suffers from the lack of RESPECT FOR LIFE and LIVING THINGS (human beings, animals, nature) and because our earth and our civilization have come to point of no return. Because we are all concerned, all involved, all threatened on this Earth of which we are at the same time the children and the abusers.
- Because before belonging to a nation, a country, a continent, a race, before being a citizen of any political entity whatsoever, we have our status as human beings. We belong to the immense family of men and women here below. A natural law linked distinctly to our nature as free and equal beings, which imposes itself because it is equitable and self-evident, authorizes each one of us to express ourselves and to take a position with regard to the important complex problems of today’s world.

- Because our universe is based on a fundamental principle: universal interdependence. For example: “the butterfly effect” – the beating of the wings of a butterfly in Australia can be at the origin of a hurricane at the other end of the world or the destruction of the Amazon forests can have an effect on the climatology of the globe (global warming, hot-house effect, landslides, etc.).

Admittedly, innumerable organisms already exist, associations and assemblies dedicated to sensitive topics – a durable economy, agriculture (GMOs), ecology, world hunger, anti-personnel land-mines, paedophilia, mistreatment of animals, etc. – and this Planetary Council of Elders may seem too late, superfluous, even supererogatory.

In reality, this is not the case, for, like many, I am shocked by this legislative proscenium arch mirroring the famous quotation from Pascal: “What is truth on one side of the Pyrenees is error on the other side” which has as its effect that right and beneficial provisions stop at the borders. Neither pollution, nor the pillaging of resources, nor the destruction of the flora and fauna, nor the harm caused by drugs, nor racist exclusion, nor inequality of treatment for AIDS victims, nor the incredible laboratory experiments of sorcerer’s apprentices that create half-human, half-animal monsters today need a passport. We live in a universe of chaos and injustice; it is the unmitigated Tower of Babel, notably due to the absence of a world order or, a planetary legislation. But in the absence of the latter – a realistic vision of things reminds us that we cannot disregard existing governments which essentially make the rules in their corresponding countries and would refuse any legislative interference from the outside – we can – WE MUST – try to establish a planetary organism with universal influence and recognized authority at least at an ethical level, just as such entities exist in other domains, for example, the United Nations Security Council or the International Court of Justice at The Hague.

MY MOTIVATIONS

They are the same as those of any human being today, who each day becomes a bit more aware of the alarming, if not desperate, situation of Gaia and her inhabitants.

Yes, like all of you, like you dear friends, I have had enough!

I have had enough of observing, with a heavy heart, that thousands of animal species disappear every day and that Gaia will soon look like a desert.

I have had enough of seeing forests felled and human beings, as well as animals, robbed of their habitats.
I have had enough of thinking about the fact that at each instant, thousands of children and adults in this world die of hunger and malnutrition, while astronomical sums can be released almost on the spot (the most recent crisis has proven it) for other causes. Does human life have so little value?

I have had enough of seeing the leaders of certain emerging countries gorge themselves while crushing their fellow citizens.

I have had enough of seeing that babies and children are brutalized and marked for life just to satisfy pathological drives.

I have had enough of the cruelty with which animals (sharks, seals, whales, elephants, rhinoceroses, cats, horses, etc.) are treated and of the laboratory experiments on animals, unworthy of the human beings who perform them. Their justifications are a priori debatable, even fallacious: to what extent do the ends justify the means?
Let us be done with considering these living beings as things, objects over which man, in his arrogant supremacy, has the right of life and death.

I have had enough of seeing children bearing arms, trained to kill, under the auspices of fanatical leaders or bloodthirsty and irresponsible dictators who turn them into monsters incapable of the least bit of empathy. Let us not forget that a civilization that sacrifices its children is a dying civilization.

I have had enough of learning that confirmed criminals are scandalously released, thus allowing them to immediately become repeating offenders once they are freed.

I have had enough of standing by helpless while witnessing the mass exodus of displaced persons, the sacrifice of individuals, even entire peoples – be it through the loss of their freedom, or even their life, or through torture and persecution and this without other justification than the profit or criminal ambition of a few people intoxicated with power.

I have had enough of seeing battles between the "pro" and the "anti" GMO groups without having the advantage of an impartial vision of the topic, which, alone, would/will allow us to separate the good seed from the bad and to arrive at a verdict favouring the well-being and the health of the collective entities in the world – only if, however, we give ourselves the means to do so!

I have had enough of observing – and the world financial crisis of this past autumn is emblematic of this – that the laxity and revolting and irresponsible behaviours of certain financial world directors (cf. those of the subprimes) bring about the misfortune of millions of people. These people find themselves stripped of their homes and their possessions, while astronomical “golden parachutes” compensate (sic) incompetent business leaders. A worldwide regulation and moralization of the economic and financial system are absolutely needed.

I have had enough of hearing everything and its opposite about the tumour-generating waves of portable telephones, salutary or dangerous vaccines, drugs that are beneficial for one disease but engender others. In other words, enough of this media inflation accompanied by general disinformation and distorted yet again by deceitful advertising, which hides the truth from us and paralyses us in our decisions and our acts! An objective and impartial synthesis is more and more difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish.

I have had enough of the hypocritical, biased and fragmented legislations concerning euthanasia and the right to die with dignity. It is time to institute a planetary moral governance that ceases to consider individuals as irresponsible children but rather grants them their status as adults assuming their freedom, their free will and their destiny.

With regard to the preceding, I think that it is about time for an ethical authority with global influence, independent from any system and from any government, to make the voice of Wisdom heard in the current cacophony, where the worst exists alongside the best.

But for now, let us limit ourselves to creating an active association that would adopt the mission of denouncing – in order to attempt regulating them– behaviours and situations harmful to today’s inhabitants of the earth.

WHAT WOULD/WILL BE THE ROLE OF THIS PLANETARY COUNCIL OF ELDERS?

Only a Planetary Council of Elders may be able (will be able in the long term) to offer meaningful unsolicited opinions on – and if possible throw a spanner in the works of – the mechanisms of world plutocracy, this universal reign of money and instant gratification, which flourishes to the detriment of our future and that of our children. Since the era of industrialization and historic materialism in the 19th century, homo economicus has taken power; everything can be converted into cash even organs, even babies!
Stop there!

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

Just as the International Court of Justice at The Hague constitutes a universal judicial body, the Planetary Council of Elders has as its vocation to be an ethical body of the same stature, i.e., an organism of reference, as well as of a consultative, normative or regulating nature.
It would/will have as its primary mission to reflect and render decisions on the important complex problems of today’s world and to conduct convergent and interdisciplinary action among scientists, artists, politicians, philosophers, intellectuals of all types, etc., with, ideally and in the end, an authority capable of imposing its conclusions.
Since it will be a world reference organism, any natural or legal person, any collective entity, any country will be able to file a complaint on a topic related to the evolving future of man and his environment.

This Planetary Council of Elders must be invested with real power to sanction behaviours hostile to the planet (fauna and flora included) and its inhabitants.

This ethical body of worldwide dimensions would /will consist of members with an international aura and having a humanist/idealistic vision of the world. They will be elected by cooptation. Their expertise in all the domains concerned would/will be recognized by their peers and their own records would/will place them above seeking any personal interest or profit, and beyond any purely egocentric ambition.

The formation of such a Council is an ambitious project but not at all utopian. It requires determination, courage and perseverance as well as a certain vision of the future.

WHY NOW?

We are now in a bottleneck and everything is in danger of overflowing seriously very soon! We have only three or four years before us to correct our unfocused tactics, if we do not take action, in 2011-2012 the situation will be catastrophic! Is this perhaps why the Hopi Indians believe that the world will end in 2012? It is up to us alone that it not be the end of the world, but only the end of a world. For that, we have our work cut out for us, because now we really have no time to spare, “the lake is on fire”, as our Swiss friends say, and I am one of them!!!

WHY MY COMMITMENT?

Due to my experience, education and training, I have a different view of the world: the eye of an astrologer (for over 30 years) and the eye of a sociologist (for a decade).
The world is crumbling and on the road to ruin. If we do not very quickly change our tactics – ecological, energy, ethical and spiritual ruin are certain consequences.
Of course, positive and salutary reactions abound, as well as research in every domain, but they lack homogeneity and therefore effectiveness. There is therefore an urgent necessity to effect a transversal convergence of objectives through multidisciplinary reflection and action.
The astrologer and sociologist that I am have provided me with the grid for a planetary reading of a global civilization crisis (cf. the Indian Kali-Yuga, or Dark Age). I am observing the irresistible increase and generalization (also via internet) of confusion, disinformation, disarray and desacralization of the world, as well as the reign of a triumphant materialism.

As an adolescent, I wanted to join Dr SCHWEITZER in Lambaréné in Africa because this magnificent organist of Bach Partitas, which I adored, was also an adventurer and benefactor of humanity. A Capricorn like me, he fascinated me. I therefore began studies in medicine, but later preferred, via astrology, to be more a doctor of souls. I thus wished to share my astrological knowledge to help others come to know themselves and accept themselves while at the same time growing and evolving, as I have tried to do myself. Later, obtaining my doctorate in sociology at the Sorbonne supplied me with an additional and valuable grid for reading our societies.
Today, I would like to contribute to making this world more liveable, cleaner, and more harmonious by using my international notoriety (my works have been translated into some 15 languages, including Chinese) to achieve this goal. In other words, given the alarming situation of our current world, and this – alas! – at every level and in every domain of human activity, I offer to dedicate myself to very concrete action in the service of my contemporaries, while focusing my energy on the creation of a sovereign institution, the Planetary Council of Elders.

PRACTICAL OBJECTIVES

1. FORM AN ASSOCIATION (governed by the law of 1901), THE CHILDREN OF GAIA – which will be followed, we hope, by the PLANETARY COUNCIL OF ELDERS

2. INFORM the public and decision makers in the various domains (media, finance, science, politics, etc.) about all the complex social problems evoked above, and SENSITIZE them to these issues with the goal of generating questions on various topics to be submitted at a later date to the PLANETARY COUNCIL OF ELDERS.
To this end, ORGANIZE within the Association, steering committees, commissions, investigations, lectures and research internships on sensitive subjects.

3. COORDINATE round tables for reflection on seeking optimal solutions to the various societal and environmental problems that preoccupy the world today.

4. COORDINATE, in the end, reflections and responses from the PLANETARY COUNCIL OF ELDERS with a view to an ethical regulation of the of the various sectors of human activity, leading to convergent action in the general interest of the various social entities and in the interest of global improvement and a better sense of physical, environmental and spiritual well-being for our generation… and those to come!
On a tentative basis, a few examples of personalities, from various countries, milieus and disciplines, who might be considered for the Planetary Council of Elders (whose number of members could be set at 33):
S.M. JUAN CARLOS of Spain, H.R.H. Prince CHARLES of WALES, S.A.S. Prince ALBERT OF MONACO, the DALAI LAMA, President Nicolas SARKOZY, Kofi ANNAN, Joan BAEZ, Tony BLAIR, Prof. Christian CABROL, Leonardo di CAPRIO, Prof. Alain CARPENTIER, Hélène CARRERE D’ENCAUSSE, Bill CLINTON, George CLOONEY, Boris CYRULNIK, Arthur COHN, Jacques DELORS, Clint EASTWOOD, Mia FARROW, Luc FERRY, Bill GATES, Richard GERE, Mikhail GORBACHEV, Valéry GISCARD-D’ESTAING, Marek HALTER, Mike HORN, Bernard KOUCHNER, Nelson MANDELA, Prof. Luc MONTAGNIER (Nobel Prize 2008), Alain MINC, Shimon PEREZ, Colin POWELL, Michel ROCARD, Hubert REEVES, Simone VEIL, Aung SAN SUU KYI, Robert REDFORD, Elie WIESEL, Muhammad YUNUS, and other people of good will.
