HUMAN DUTY
DECLARATION
(PROJECT)
It took a long time for human history to come to the idea of human
rights. Twas a long and difficult way, through slavery - with the right of
master, through feudalism - with the
right of the feudal lord, and further to capitalism with the right of the
capitalistic world.
The idea of rights
was completed on the 10th
of December 1948 with the conclusion of the era of the Ram and
Fish.
What is the
ideological foundation for the coming era of Aquarius?
Duty:
Duty of a person – before one’s neighbor, before society, before
humanity
The beginning of a new era should be marked with a proclamation of Human Duty Declaration to help a new
millennium to evolve in this direction.
For example, today we don’t consider health as a duty in front of
society, but evolution of conscience in this era of Aquarius will bring us to
the point when it will be shameful to be sick because it will show the
ignorance of the person who is ill.
Preamble:
Taking into consideration that The
UN World Human Rights Declaration,
by bestowing upon all members of the human family equal and inalienable rights,
which are the prerequisites for freedom and universal peace, has become a
powerful means of protecting the world civilization and assisting the earth in
becoming a single home for all humankind; and,
Taking into consideration that the adoption of The UN World Human
Rights Declaration inherently presupposes the existence of people of duty whose
indefatigable activity in the past has guided mankind through epochs and
civilizations and has lead to the totality of humanity’s history and whose
names remain in the memory of descendents as the adornment of the human race,
we state that
The Human
Duty should be defined as the global problem of humanity and be declared in
order to give each person the opportunity for conscious participation in
mankind’s evolution; and,
Taking into consideration that it is the intelligent people who are
most responsible for the nation’s destiny, they will increase their spiritual
potential, the main essence of which
is spirituality. Spirituality, a special quality of intellect which is manifested in the ability to
synthesize, will become the quality of people of duty. This will of course
be the immunization which will protect nations in any historical situation.
Taking into consideration, that the following of the principles and
fulfillment of this given document are voluntary actions of those of mature
consciousness, we address all who consider that duty is a basic necessity of the mature spirit and we declare and
proclaim this Human Duty Declaration.
Article 1: Every person
potentially represents the treasure of his/her people - strength, dignity and
human resource. Thus, every person should be bestowed full freedom and rights
accorded by The UN World Human Rights
Declaration.
Article 2.1: Every
person should respect the innate right of each individual because violation of
this is a serious crime before the individual, state, and entire mankind.
Moreover, the state itself fails in its moral and political responsibility when
the individual’s rights have been violated.
2.2: Every
person should exercise the maximum self-discipline so as not to create a
precedent for turning his own state into one of tyranny and despotism but rather
to allow the society to evolve naturally; thus prisons, labor camps, and other
end-products of the conflicts between the individual and society which are so
alarming to the conscience of humanity will disappear.
Article 3.1: Every
believer should realize that people over centuries have been carrying on an
uncompromised struggle to keep faith in God’s teachings in order that, in the
moment of fatal danger, they were able to employ their faith as the only means
of national salvation, thus, passing over the abyss of anarchy, devastation,
poverty, and temporary confusion of the people’s consciousness.
3.2: Every citizen according to his/her abilities should knock at
his/her neighbor’s door and render feasible help as Jesus did without wounding
another person’s dignity.
3.3: Every person should do his/her best as a human being and
citizen so that, with full moral responsibility they make use of the
humanitarian help from foreign countries but in the shortest time possible
escape the unworthy beggar’s lot by strengthening principles of cooperation and
sociable ties with all natural partners.
Article 4: Every
person should realize that labor is the only invincible strength of any state
and do his/her best to guard one’s native land, and its ecology, and increase
its economic and scientific potential through hard and intensified labor.
Article 5: Every
person should pay the highest respect to women
as to World Mother, the mother of
Life. Let all women be affirmed as the great symbol of transformation of all
life and direct us all toward the worthy accomplishment of spiritual revival. Mother - life giving, life protecting will
become Mother - guiding, uplifting and all-accepting.
Article 6: Every
person should respect all the laws and norms of his/her state on the principle
of self-discipline. Only the person who was yesterday’s slave will be indignant
before the decree. People of limited
consciousness fear to lose their personality carrying out the state laws and
instructions. At the same time it is necessary to realize that the state is
limited in its actions by the citizens’ rights, or will be limited in
consequence of human rights’ natural evolution.
Article 7: Every
person in every possible way should strive for the fulfillment of peace
throughout the planet. For one’s own sake one must compromise in the name of
collaboration, creating good relations, and avoiding all obstacles of
incompatibility, for it is said: "The
peacemakers shall be called the sons of God.” (Matt. 5:9)
Article 8: Every
person in every possible way should assist the
unification of women in the name of the new Era of Culture as the main
moment of human evolution, according to the original principle of duality of
the world in the entire universe.
Article 9: Every
citizen should realize the principle of Hierarchy
as the basis of evolution, as the law of nature expressed by the formula "inferior is subordinate to superior”;
and, to the persons who haven’t yet overcome slavery, we again state that Hierarchy differs from despotism and that
slavery and conscientious Hierarchy
are like night and day, for there exists Hierarchy
of Consciousness, Hierarchy of Freedom, Hierarchy of Knowledge, Hierarchy of
Light.
Article 10: Every
person has the right to freedom of speech, but those who have accepted the Duty
Declaration bear civil responsibility for every word said in public because
every ribaldry and quarrel are a praise to darkness. It is said in the Bible,
that it is "not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out
of the mouth, this defiles a man.” (Matt.
15:11)
Someday people will understand that thought is already action, and
that is why everything thought and said is permanent; this comprehension is
cosmic consciousness, with which comes an uncommonly happy period when one may
think what he wants and say what he thinks.
Article 11: Every
person should defend his/her motherland for it is his/her sacred duty, and realize that the fight for the motherland never
comes to an end: the struggle takes place not only on battlefields but in every
place where hypocritical smiles, lies, law violations and, certainly, ignorance
exist. Each such case calls for fearlessness and heroism because the fate of
entire nations is determined in such battles. Wisdom says that any victory is first
gained by thought.
Article 12: Every
person should know on what grounds his/her particular national character was
formed and, in accordance with it, cultivate his/her tastes to art as a
spectator or connoisseur at first, and then, as a creator of spiritual
treasures in the name of the perfection of life forms; so that, in every
possible way, they may raise the level of taste and comprehension of the
narrow-minded persons and masses because the form of life is the
stamp of the people’s spirit. And
so, in the name of the elevation of the people’s
spirit, let us create forms of light and let us not be discouraged by the
small amount of these forms as their potential will be great.
Article 13: Every
person should revolt against de-heroization of his/her people, against any
humiliation of the nation’s dignity, and against the tendency to consider a
separate vice as a characteristic national trait. One should also perceive the
valor of the day in the struggle and formation of one’s nation in any conditions,
because struggle without heroes and heroism is impossible; it is necessary to
realize this in order to foster respect and love for the heroes of the people.
Article 14: Every
person should consider marriage with full responsibility and, scientifically, as
the point of kinship and compatibility by elements that give a balanced
posterity, otherwise infertility and deterioration of nations will be the
result of neglecting these laws. The
time has come to recognize this fact as a vital problem, not only because now
we see the unbalanced state of the present population, but also because
inclination and love between man and woman should be considered as the
manifestation of cosmic law, in which it is necessary to realize the
all-powerfulness of Love and to research into this supreme display to awaken
the highest emotions and creative abilities. Only in this awakening can the
main purpose exist, the main sense of love as the only source of creative
strength.
Article 15: Every person
should realize the necessity of discovering one’s own talents and carefully
develop them, for it is our great responsibility as the bearers of spiritual
treasures. The ignorance and lack of development of one’s own talents is a
crime before humanity. A talent is given a person to distribute spiritual
treasures throughout the world, and we must do our best to create all
conditions for practical realization of that in order that the thirsty souls
may get vital food.
Article 16: Every person
should cultivate in him/herself the determination for action, the consciousness
of the courageous right to expand new possibilities and achievements in the
most crucial direction of the century – harmonious collaboration; and make this
as a science of life spreading it everywhere for the sake of peace for all
mankind. Collaboration is the basis of existence and only very extensive
cooperation gives true correlation between the state and people’s labor.
Otherwise destructive debts of the state will be increasing.
Collaboration develops by the next four fundamental principles:
a)
women should become the keepers of culture;
b)
quality thinking should be realized as the power
to transform life;
c)
creative thought
should be acknowledged as the energy to renovate existence;
d)
Mutually beneficial compromise should become the
balancing principle of contrary positions.
Article 17: Every
person should foster and develop in him/herself the sense of responsibility
unto infinity for everything done by him/herself for we are responsible not
only to ourselves, but also to those we leave in this life after death. Such
realization of responsibility before the eternally beautiful phenomenon of life
will become the ground of great conscientiousness for every thought, every
word, and every action. One should try to abstain from insignificant thoughts;
even a little attention to one’s thoughts can give positive results. Shame
prevents us from using bad words in public, doesn’t it? Why then should a
person contaminate space with them
by thinking them at all? Let every base thought sent into this beautiful world horrify us; this is the
way to foster the art of thinking- the foundation of people’s health.
Article 18: Every
person should cultivate in him/herself patience and tolerance, characteristic
traits very hard to master and thus invaluable ones.
Article 19: Every
person should realize the basis of his/her life is the cultivation of Heart and love, a vitally necessary
purpose, because intellect in its development went far away improving not only
life itself but also the means and ways to kill even one’s own brother and
shackling the Heart into a stone prison of estrangement and indifference.
Harmony of Heart and mind must be reached. Heart-based intelligence is the only
value of the civilized world.
Article 20: Every
person should realize his/her responsibility as a thinking being and above all
destroy in him/herself the principle of hatred and war, to get rid of enmity
everywhere and in everything, for it is impossible to be in the state of spite
without poisoning the consciousness of society by vengeful and malicious
thinking and behavior.
Article 21: The great
task of every person is to long for new thinking, for change in consciousness
and thought in him/herself as well as in other people, which is the most
principled way to cure the consciousness of society brought to a deadlock of
unsolved problems in economy, law, and other spheres.
There is no future, no evolution, without change in consciousness.
Only through the renovation of thinking can one achieve a new level of evolution.
Article 22: Every
person’s duty is to foster in children, the true flowers of our future, the
ability to dream without reserve and with kind imaginations equal to sacred
prayer. Like a true gardener each of us ought to safeguard that joy should never
die away in children’s eyes and bright smiles should always be on each child’s
face – the sign of the faith, hope,
and love which is in those who
surround and care for them being realized in the children’s countenance.
Article 23: Every
person should long for completion of his concrete affairs and shouldn’t do
things by halves but instead qualitatively complete all good deeds and give up
all bad ones without any fear before another person or thing, but only by trial
of one’s own conscience.
Article 24: Every person
should free themselves from trying to please other’s opinions, for this form of
slavery chains a man by invisible fetters; by freeing oneself from striving for
others’ approval, one has the freedom to truthfully and completely execute
one’s Duties.
Article 25: Every person
should understand that all people should be judged according to their deeds but
not their words. That is why the rows of witnesses will not speak about the
righteousness of a person; rather his personal example in life is the only true
evidence of his dedication to the ideals of Duty.
Article 26: Every
person should protect culture and all the great images of humanity from
humiliation; because, first of all, people with the lowest level of
intellectual and spiritual development humiliate everything great, thus the
foundation of life and creative activity are destroyed, and even the value of
knowledge itself is placed under doubt by seeking momentary benefit which gives
rise to banal thinking and lowers the morale level. So let us be aware that a
low level of knowledge usually denies truth and is awfully dogmatic in its
statements.
Article 27: Those who
determine to do their duty should possess one of the rarest of qualities – trust, for distrust is the main
obstacle on the way to collaboration; and the ability to trust bears witness to
purity of heart. There can be
neither advancement nor development without trust, and it is deepened by
heartistic relationships.
Article 28: Every
person should take as a principle of his relations with people respect for
human thought, great tolerance to all members of the united human family, and
the tendency to embody concrete idealism penetrating all the fields of life. Do
not stop in front of any obstacles in order to solve the most urgent task of
this time because the future of science, and humanity as well, depends on
finding quality solutions for this problem - the problem of harmonizing ethical
and moral ideals of a person with his/her life experience.
Article 29: Every
person should cultivate in him/herself altruism,
an essential part of inner self–perfection, and follow the principle "to live
for the sake of others”, which makes him/her in all verity a select inhabitant of the earth, for
whom the only source of joy is eternal giving, eternal serving, and eternal
cognition.
Article 30: Every
person should realize his full responsibility in regard to society in a period
of great social upheaval and become a dynamically thinking and acting being who
actively turns devastation into a source of possibilities and accumulated
strength. This will enable people to go beyond the limitation of their chosen
profession to serve as needed in times of emergency. All those unable to change
their concepts or values will not only feel economic and moral difficulties,
but they will turn into a burden to the society.
Article 31: Every
person should realize Beauty. As a spoon carrying honey to a mouth doesn’t know
the taste itself, so Beauty without its realization exists only by itself. A
realization of Beauty makes an outburst of consciousness in the human heart;
after this a person becomes more than just a human being, which is why the realization of Beauty will save the
world.
Article 32: Every
person should perfect life, adorn it, and bring beauty into everything, and if
there are conditions not corresponding to the beauty of life to declare to
overcome any ugliness, turning it into perfection. Special care should be given
to teachers as the source of the
beauty of the human spirit for it is
said in Oriental wisdom: "Pitiful are the people where the teacher lives in
poverty.”
Article 33: Every
person professing the idea of Duty should understand that he/she comes into
alliance with people ready to receive the Bearer
of Light and Truth – the Messiah, who will find human souls prepared to
perceive his news, ready language capable to express new truth carried by him,
ready organizations waiting for his
appearance, which will remove mechanical and material obstacles and
difficulties in his way.
Postamble:
Taking into consideration that with an increase of consciousness of
the people professing the Duty
Declaration, the conception of duty will become more and more refined,
elevated, and noble, especially with the coming of the Messiah, when particularly God-inspired principles of duty will be
proclaimed; we state that:
The offered declaration is
a document open to endless perfection of norms and principles meeting the
demands of the Human Duty Idea.
