After defining the Global Community expression, Virginie and I thought
we would better serve humanity by first Celebrating Life because life is
what allows us all to be who we all are and to have symbiotical relationships
between ourselves, and between ourselves and the Soul of Humanity and God.
Life often involves tensions between important values.
This can mean difficult choices. However, we must find ways to harmonize
diversity with unity, the exercise of freedom with the common good, short-term
objectives with long-term goals. Every individual, family, organization,
and community has a vital role to play. The arts, sciences, religions,
educational institutions, media, businesses, nongovernmental organizations,
and governments are all called to offer creative leadership. The partnership
of government, civil society, and business is essential for an effective
global governance based on global concepts and the Scale of Human and Earth
Rights.
Let our time be a time remembered for the awakening of
a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the
quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration
of life. Let our expanding consciousness blend with that of the Soul of
Humanity.
Being unified under the Soul of Humanity dissolves all
barriers and expand our global consciousness. We become more whole and
complete within ourselves and as a group. Our common Spirit is able to
resolve planetary problems in a coherent way. One common 'Global Vision'
allows us to see how all the parts of the whole relate to each other. We
have the right relationship with one another, with all lifeforms and Earth
itself, and with the Soul of Humanity.
"The Global Community is defined as being
all that exits or occurs at any location at any time between the Ozone
layer above and the core of the planet below."
This is the fundamental definition of the expression "Global Community" first defined by myself and my wife Virginie in 1985.
This definition includes all people, all life on Earth.
Virginie and Germain Dufour
founders and Spiritual Leaders of the Global Community
The peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer
Global Community among them, a Global Civilization, are resolved to share
a peaceful future based on common values. Conscious of its spiritual and
moral heritage, the Global Community is founded on the indivisible, universal
values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based
on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual
at the heart of its activities, by establishing the Global Community citizenship,
and by creating an era of freedom, security, global justice and social
harmony.
The Global Community is a non-hierarchical nonviolent
organization of individuals and organizations that promotes the arts, conducts
workshops, facilitates nonviolent direct actions, educates, organizes,
campaigns, empowers, and aims to rip injustice from its roots. We are committed
to nonviolence. We stand for the globalization of our rights to speech,
thought, religion, assembly, a clean environment, self-determination,
freedom from fear and persecution and freedom from poverty. We stand
for the rights of women, children, elderly, affordable health care, strong
labor rights and social and economic policies that put people and the environment
before profits.
The Global Community claims that everyone on Earth should
be able to live in Peace. This Global Peace Mouvement is about courage
to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus
preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming
generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and
global sustainability being some of them.

On May 26 of each year, let us all celebrate life in our

Perhaps now is time to elaborate on my teaching as your
spiritual leader and Prophet of God.
I am asking all religions around the world to re-examine
their scriptures, precepts, practices, ethical and moral values in light
of ecological concerns. The Global Community is facing a global environmental
crisis. It is very important that every person on Earth accept of being
part of the process in protecting the global life-support systems. The
ecological crisis is as much about saving children as it is about saving
other lifeforms on the planet.
Our first objective will be to find statements from all
religions that promote the respect, stewardship, protection, ethical and
moral responsibility to life and of the environment, the Earth global life-support
systems, and statements that promote a responsible Earth management. I
am also asking for specific statements on environmental conservation.
I ask all religions to participate.
In order to create a harmonious and compassionate Global
Community, the following are laws, principles, and ways of life I ask everyone
to comply with:
-
Divine Law
-
Nature Law
-
The teaching of the Soul of Humanity
-
The teaching of the prophet
-
Global Law
-
Golden Rule principle and societal sustainability
-
Global Justice Movement for all life on the planet
-
Abolish the business of conflicts and war
-
Security for all life on Earth
The work of the Global Community, the global civil
society, and the determination of government worldwide, make it possible
for everyone to comply with the law. Building global communities requires
a mean to enforce Global Law for the protection of life on Earth. Global
Civilization guides humanity for the building of global communities. This
is a great opportunity for globallateralism. Global Law includes legislation
covering all aspects of human activities. The
Global Protection Agency
(GPA) will train and lead a global force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping
and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO. The GPA will enforce
the law. And that is the third option we offer the Global Community. And
that is also how we can stop the global warming of the planet and protect
the global life-support systems, thus largely improving the quality of
life of the next generations.
As we enact global law, we will begin to take on a much
deeper kind of global leadership, one that earns more respect than envy
and more gratitude than hatred, one that can catapult the whole planet
forward into a future where war is no longer thinkable between nation-states
and a legitimate and beneficial global government is able to cope with
global problems.
I believe that there is no greater task in the world today
than for the Global Community to proceed through the maturation of its
leadership, emerging from a more self-interested adolescence as a global
leader into a nobler adulthood. We have the potential to act as a torchbearer
for a better tomorrow. Do we heed the call? I hope this message has convinced
at least a few people that the question of how to proceed with that maturation
is of far deeper significance than the reforming of the United Nations.
I thus pray that we move with wisdom, grace, clarity, and love in the days,
years, and even decades ahead.
