It is not only humanity whose future is now jeopardized, but that of the biosphere itself. Only by returning to true peace, will humanity survive. Yet, so far has humanity removed itself from its sacred trust, that even the true meaning of peace seems no more than a matter of conjecture and dispute. The Roerich Peace Pact is the only human peace treaty recognized by the biosphere. The Roerich Peace Pact is founded on the principle of reverence for culture.
Peace is the culture of the biosphere.
True, creative, enduring peace is reverence for culture and not a militarily imposed form of self-preservation or dominance. The suggestion that a militarily imposed peace-keeping is peace, is a statement of the ultimate degradation of human values. The rest of the biosphere is at peace. Only man is at war with himself and the biosphere. The time has come for the restoration of universal peace to the biosphere as a planetary whole, as it was before man broke the sacred trust, deviated from the biospheric norm and began to follow his own cyclically irregular, mechanistic course.
