Humanicy 2014 seeks a developed role for the arts and cultural exchange as the soft powers behind long- lasting, peace building and development negotiations. See quotes for the vision of our Lead Endorser, H.E. Toriello, who reminds us that the arts, as creativity, can be a powerful tool for peace because they represent the truest will within all humans, to communicate and cooperate. The global implications of Humanicy and Essenceness’s message will highlight the usefulness of what might be considered an artistic consciousness among diplomats and others shaping policy and civic engagement worldwide. Humanicy brings together art presentations and discussions regarding the critical importance of mutual understanding in a world facing civilizational clashes, poverty, violence, intolerance, and a simultaneous explosion of youth in search of a better future and better world for generations to come. Humanicy will also take advantage of NYC, as a global center for cultural consciousness that helps promote global cooperation through the arts – and more importantly, how other municipalities worldwide could gain in several ways from emulating this city’s success story. From its inception, each Humanity seminar will celebrate a thoughtful, global leader who through their lives, enabled our consciousness to be raised.

H.E. Mr. Angelo Antonio Toriello, Ambassador, is a diplomat and social activist, with media and scientific background, and besides holding different academic qualifications, mainly he masters a degree in Sociology (with specialization in behavioural observation related to the science of consciousness and integrated into quantum physics paradigms in favour of educational programs development to meliorate human relations). Beyond his social and humanitarian efforts, and since 1985, His Excellency has been collaborating with a scientific group involved in "after-life" studies, related to experiments of consciousness in comatose states. In 1990s H.E. founded an organization called United Beings Project, which is englobing a business structure called Project Mystic Connection, through which promote a model of business relating one’s wealth to "Humanizing Business" by embracing a concept of what is essential, rather than a politic of self-interest, alone.

Quotes
“Art is more than just mere ‘entertainment’ to please our senses. It is the profound language of a soul expressing its inner being to the external world. Art is the unspoken language of human being’s creativity, a radiation of awareness; a speechless soul-to- soul dialogue to reach the heart, which is pulsing life secreted into the human body. Art is after all the true language of the “he-art” - our vital organ –, a viaticum engendering consciousness. It is a medium - a passport - which allows us to cross borders, and through which human beings meet one to others beyond the boundaries of ideologies, beliefs and creeds, by transmogrifying tolerance into acceptance and eventually comprehension – a respect of the diversities. Art evolves individualization into socialization, nationalism into globalism, becoming this, a gateway to sublimate human relations by promoting mutual understanding, harmony, friendship relations, cooperation and socio-economic developments - and that, without having to renounce to our respective “national identities”.
Art is about vibrations, perceptions, visions, and that, transmutes hatred into compassion; war into peacefulness.
Art is the sound of creation, and that, metamorphoses death into life; our mortality into eternity.”
"Peace is not something to compete for, in the same way as longing for a Nobel prize; it is not an intellectual subject on which to dogmatize or a cultural contest. Peace is a way to be and live. It is an essential part of the true nature within us harbouring that which has just to be revealed... not achieved. Like Art. Art is Peace. Peace is not something to talk about, it is a value to enliven by practicing it through exertion of our responsibility as sentient beings. Like Art.”
It is by all this that "Humanicy and Essenceness" have been coined and shaped by His Excellency; two words that he says is “hurling and urging to call back out that humanity often forgotten in the name of diplomacy by endeavouring our consciousness.
