World is moving fast and things are taking shape, as if mankind is driven to meet fate accompli. We need to act quickly to meet the emerging situations on many fronts.
We need to come as quickly as possible to the task of practical organization of New Civilization Global Action.
However, the work of creating background material dealing with several very important aspects of the concept of New Civilization still remains to be attended. And, unless this work is attended to by all of us properly, we would be lacking in real substance.
There are several questions to be answered. We are dealing with civilization and it is not a light matter. We are dealing with individuals, their collective living, human being, mankind, Earth, destiny of human race, truth, realty etc. etc. List of subjects that concern human beings is really long.
With these things in mind, we intend to commence a series of articles on the subjects that have not been covered so far. These articles are meant to be read as SECOND PART of the just concluded document. It is also expected that these contributions would evoke enlightened comments from learned readers.
What is the difference between fig of imagination and truth? How can we differentiate the two? What we have been writing in our previous series of articles is a mere fig of imagination? Or, the contents there represent some truth? If they are the former, they deserve deprecation. If they are true, then our priorities in individual and collective life must change. Then our economics must change. Our politics must change.
The real question is: Is there any truth there in the propositions we have been writing of? How to find it? It is axiomatic today that an assertion is true if it is scientific. Our present civilization is founded on reason, scientific truths and science. If you say you are true in your assertion, you have to prove it by scientific methods. What are scientific methods? We pause here. The ensuing article is part of the historical aspect of New Civilization, that we would be taking in coming articles.
