GEP Speaker Presents Global Education Policy to Indian PM Narendra Modi

The Speaker of the Global Energy Parliament, Dr. Kiran Vyas, met with the Prime Minister of India, Shri. Narendra Modi in Paris on July 13th.  They discussed the activities of the GEP and Dr. Vyas presented the PM with a copy of the GEP’s Global Education Policy for Total Consciousness.

The proposal is for a comprehensive education policy on the transformation of education worldwide into a humanistic, holistic, forward-looking form of eduation. Such an education has been envisioned to transform society through individuals who are happy, healthy, and fulfilled and capable of living meaningful lives of peace.

Based on the philosophy of Education for Total Consciousness, which itself results from the implementation of GEP’s scientific foundation, the I-Theory, the 127-page Policy proposes a restructured, universal curriculum and pedagogy for lifelong learning. Stages of learning outlined reach from the prenatal development of a human being up to the end of life, focusing a strong bond between the trinity of the teacher, parents and student and a transdisciplinary approach which fosters a close relation between knowledge, skill and production for holistic, complete development. Moreover, The Global Education Policy for Total Consciousness introduces Pranic Science as a new branch of knowledge which holds the key to healthy growth and energy balance on every level of a human being’s existence.

All governments around the world have received a copy of the policy proposal.

GEP Education Policy "Should Be Read By Each Minister Around the Globe" Says Belgium

World leaders are appreciating the GEP’s proposal of a Global Education Policy for Total Consciousness.

The Speaker of the Parliament, Dr. Kiran Vyas, and the Secretary of the Parliament, Dr. M.R. Thampan have sent copies of the 127-page policy proposal to every government around the world, and the responses are beginning to come in.

“The Global Education Policy for Total Consciousness should be read by each Minister all around the globe,” wrote Caroline Desir, Minister for Education for Wallonie-Bruxelles, Belgium. “The promotion of human values and of a peaceful world education [in the policy] has been at the core of the policies implemented as a Minister as well as my political and personal commitments.”

Austria’s Federal Chancellery was also in agreement with the principals of a global education policy and pointed out that “education, higher education and research systems can only operate successfully and develop their full potential in international cooperation.”

Colombia’s Minister for Education wrote that “This will undoubtedly be a great contribution to education.”

EU Passes First Artificial Intelligence Act

Technology moves fast, especially in the age of digitalization.

It was this knowledge, and some foresight, that made GEP hold its 12th annual session on the theme of digitalisation. Members passed a detailed ‘Humane Digitalization Act,’ calling for restraint and humaneness in dealing with new technologies in all sectors. (Read the summary here.)

The European Parliament has passed the world’s first piece of legislation to regulate the use of artificial intelligence, by approving the Artificial Intelligence Act. It contemplates complete bans of intrusive or discriminatory uses of AI, such as cognitive behavioural manipulation targeting specific categories of vulnerable people or groups and social scoring.  Regulation is imposed for high-risk AI systems and foundation models.  

The law is not expected to come into effect until 2026, which is a long time in the life of technology.  

We can expect to see more legislation from the US focusing on soft law, privacy and ethics, from the UK concentrating on soft law and a decentralised principle-based approach, and China which wants explainable AI algorithms and to demand companies to have transparency about their purpose for using AI.  

Aside from AI, GEP had also discussed important topics at last year’s session on Humane Digitalization like digital currencies, digital weapons, and the changing workplace. Members laid out very clear guidelines to help legislators give the best tools to the world but without exploitation of users, society or the natural world.

AI, Digital Currency and Energy Imbalance - Main Concerns at GEP 2022

Of the several themes that came to the forefront at the session of Parliament held last week on Humane Digitalization, perhaps the most consistently voiced message was that digitalization is not negative or positive in itself, but it is up to the human beings who program it and those who use it who decide its impact. Therefore education around humane digitalization is crucial for the general population, decisions makers and tech companies.  This was the 12th annual session of Parliament.

Several positive aspects of digitalization were raised and its various contributions in each sector were noted by guest speakers and GEP Ministers in each different sector.


However, the main points of discussion were about the specific drawbacks and future risks that digitalization poses.

Undoubtedly, the rise of Artificial Intelligence was one of the biggest topic of discussion. AI is still young and already it spreads across the spectrum of sectors, but there are few regulations on it. Members noted that fear of AI is not the correct response, and humanity must learn to use new tools in a rational and human-centered way. Yet many concerns about AI were expressed, for example its potential to replace human effort, thought and social interactions. "What will happen if everything is to be done by machines? What will be left for human beings to do, and what will it mean to live as a human being?" asked Prof. Achutsankar R. Nair, a Professor of Bioinformatics. There were several calls for ethics and responsibility in the design and deployment of AI and the preservation of human dignity and freedom. The Bill for Humane Digitalization which was passed on the second day goes into detail about the regulation of AI.

GEP Founder His Holiness Jagadguru Swami Isa shared many insights into the vast differences between the human being and digital machines, seemingly in response to the growing fear in society that humans are easily replaceable by machines and/or no more than biological machines. He went into great detail about the complex makeup of the human being, from the gross (physical), subtle and causal levels of matter, to the three states of waking (deep sleep, dreaming and wakefulness), to the various historical means that humans have employed other beings and equipment to make their lives easier.

Another area of concern was the vast potential of digitalization to energetically disrupt both living and manmade systems, by converting natural processes and systems into artificial ones. "Without awareness of the energy balance inherent in any natural system, new technologies and processes are being deployed that have the potential for planetary-scale disruptions like we see with climate change," said Dr. Christophe Dumas, Minister for Science and Technology. "It is essential to use science and technology based on the fundamental knowledge of energy balance and the I-particle," he said, referring to the fundamental particle that has been introduced in Swami Isa's unified theory. The Ministers for Natural Resources and Environment echoed his concerns. Members called for greater global education about energy.

The present laws on digital surveillance and privacy were discussed. Members agreed that more robust legal protections and education for users need to be implemented worldwide, and that the GEP should have a role in designing such policies and programs.

Digital currency came up at several points through the two days, concluding with Swami Isa giving a stark warning about the use of digitalized currencies in any form (either cryptocurrecy or nationalized digital currency). He noted that since digital currency is a form of wealth that is not based on a physical reality like gold, the further the abstraction into "shadows," the more easily it can be manipulated or undermined and the entire global economic system is at risk. "Real wealth is physical, not virtual," he said.

All in all, many thought-provoking recommendations were made for framing a human-centered digitalization. Swami Isa's reminders about the vast potentials, gifts, complexity and excellence of the human being gave inspiration for a new vision of digitalization in service to the higher nature of humankind and the living world. Undoubtedly, without clear knowledge of the energy that makes up the human being, the digital world, and the systems they live in, the way forward is bleak. Now is the time, says GEP, to make a clear and proactive path forward that ensures energy balance, happiness and harmony for all.

The Bill for Humane Digitalization was passed on the second day.

“The Energy Balance is Broken”: GEP publishes peer-reviewed research on SARS-CoV-2

The Global Energy Parliament Research Centre has published an article on the Covid-19 virus in the February 2021 issue of Advances in Microbiology, a peer-reviewed journal. H.H. Swami Isa and Dr. Christophe Dumas co-authored the article, entitled “An analysis of SARS-CoV-2 on the molecular and subatomic levels through applied I-Theory.”

Looking at recent evidence, the authors indicate that the virus is genetically modified. By examining the modification at the subatomic level, the authors illustrate the probable reasons why the virus is so destructive physiologically.

H.H. Swami Isa and Dr. Christophe Dumas co-authored the article. H.H. Swami Isa, founder of the GEP and developer of the I-Theory, a unified theory on which the research is based and Dr. Dumas is a physicist who heads the GEP Research Center.

According to them, the significance of this research is that the natural energy balance gets broken through genetic modification. In this particular modification, there is a deficiency of fermions (a type of subatomic particle). This leads to an excess of the repulsion force. The subatomic level is a more fundamental plane of energy, so the potential for destruction is much higher.

Usually medical science is concerned only with the molecular level. Genetics, medical treatments, and vaccines, for example, all operate at the molecular level.

But, the authors say, this is not enough. Medicine should be closely examining the subatomic level too, in order to understand the problem and develop better treatments and vaccines.

In the case of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the authors explain, the virus is stable at the molecular plane, so it seems to be no problem. But if you magnify everything and look at the atoms and subatomic particles that make up those molecules, you will see that this is a highly unstable virus. And if you understand the enormous forces at play, you realize why the pandemic is such an emergency.

As the authors’ previous research has shown (in an article titled “Entropy and Negentropy Principles in the I-Theory,” published last year in the Journal of High-Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology), in a normal state of health, entropy and negentropy are balanced. Having an excess of fermions causes negentropy, while having an excess of bosons causes entropy. Negentropy is the force of creation and attraction (the authors ask you to think about the force that would make a normal, healthy cell uncontrollably divide and spread, as in cancer). Entropy is the force of repulsion and dismantling (envision the immune system fighting against itself, and cells fusing together or rupturing, as is seen with severe Covid cases). A healthy state, the authors emphasize, is balance between these two forces.

The authors advise caution about other forms of genetic modification used in medicine, unless and until those subatomic forces are well understood. The GEP is urging the WHO and governments everywhere to look into this area of research as the world races to protect against the virus.

Chanting for Peace

A global chanting session was organized online by the Global Energy Parliament for the International Day of Peace (September 21). GEP's meditation teachers led a session of meditative chanting as members joined from various places around the world.

Creating positive sounds is a powerful tool in building inner peace. GEP has been spreading public awareness of the power of sound energy since 2012, when it held an international session of parliament on the same topic in France. The link between inner peace and outer peace, too, was established in 2014 in Geneva.

The mantra which was selected was composed by GEP Founder Swami Isa especially for Coronavirus time, called 'the Human Mantra'. Both English and Sanskrit version were shared. These practices are part of the GEP's EPIC (Emotional, Physical, Intellectual Immunity against Coronavirus) program.

A recording of them was made into videos in these "works in progress":
