What is this movement about?

The movement is about bringing geopolitical changes and creating a just social and economic order across the globe, where people of the world may unite against the forces, which create divisions, ignorance, wars and conflicts by manipulating differences of races, beliefs, cultures and backgrounds. It takes distance from the monopoly and hegemony of a handful of nations and people from one part of the world over the majority of humanity on the globe, find contradictions in the representations of the majority by a power-hungry small group of politicians who rule the nations, and sees ignorance and lack of awareness and education about the enlightened path of universalism as a great hindrance to peace and harmony on Earth. This movement considers the present world-order built around the United nations as inadequate and inept to address the rights and well-beings of all of humanity. The GEM addresses primarily the questions of visions and values, which may unite humanity under one social-order which may guarantee dignity, safety, and security of all human life in the similar way. It dreams of creating an Enlightened Social-order where the age-old methods of ruling by using the power of wealth and arms would have no place. Thus it wishes to promote vision and values which would bring humanity towards a higher-path of social evolution.

The movement is based on the understanding of the cosmos, realization of the self, and views about the meaning of life on Earth. It fully recognizes the knowledge of science and at the same time it remains equally cognizant of the reality of existence, which may fall outside the methods of the scrutiny of science. It professes the existence of God as one with all living and non-living beings, as well as someone who can not be seen or known by the mortal eyes and mind. It recognizes universe as a purposeful and profound creation, where everything in it are inseparably tied as one in the whole where one`s destiny remains inseparable from the destiny of all other beings. Love and compassion is professed as the best way to connect to the whole, and thus find meaning of life while interacting with the fellow beings.

GEM seeks to educate, inform and make fellow beings aware of the profound nature of the life in the universe and wishes to guide those who desire to connect to the higher nature of reality of existence and the self, and seek to follow an enlightened-path. It aspires to teach methods of communications based on the innate creative power in the individuals so that one may be able to communicate the visions of the enlightened world through works of arts, music, poetry and songs among others.

GEM is open to all individuals and groups who may share the elevated ideas and visions of the movement and wish to contribute in building a new social-order based on universal values and vision of the cosmic nature of man.

MAIN WORKING METHODS

HOW HAS IT STARTED

It has sprung from the ideas and visions of Dr. Anup Rej, a physicist-philosopher-artist-and poet . The vision is coloured by his understanding of the greater cosmos and based on wide experiences of people and culture he has met during his stay in different parts of the world. Starting from the fundamental questions of the body and mind and their relationship to the cosmos, he has built an understanding of universal values and higher path of social evolution, which has inspired him to formulate the ideas of an enlightened social order. He believes that his knowledge in science, experiences from different cultures, personal experiences as a mystic, and ideas unifying cosmic vision with universal values may inspire people, who are seeking changes in the present state of affairs of the world, to come together to create a movement that may build foundation of a more evolved economic and political order and universal culture on Earth. Presently he lives in Oslo.  Anup Rej has built a cultural retreat by Sognefjord in Western Norway, where  he would like to invite people to come together to develop ideas and strategies of building a better society. The ideas and visions of Anup Rej are summarized in his book: “Vision of An Enlightened Democracy: A Cosmic Perspective” . Information about him can be found in: http://AnupRej.no .

WHO WE WISH TO REACH?

Anup Rej is in the process of forming a group who would like to build contacts with philosophers, artists, musicians, writers and creative personalities as well as those who seek changes in social order which are based on universal values and visions of unity of mankind. The group also seeks partnership with educational and humanitarian organizations and the civil society working on the issues of democracy and human rights. People open to life and its mystery, the men and women who realize the profound meaning of cosmos and our relations to it, and those who are willing to connect to higher life through one`s own power of creativity and see themselves as agents of bringing change to the world, are welcome to contact him.
