Proposal to the Org Com. Workshop of the WFSC (Presented to the International Executive Committee of the WFSC by PEACE through CULTURE International) The "WORLD FORUM OF SPIRITUAL CULTURE" (WFSC) initiated in Astana in October 2010 as a global movement considers itself as an inspiration help, an active intercultural community, an initiator of cooperation for the promotion and formation of a synthesis of politics, science, culture and society. The Republic of Kazakhstan since its founding in 1991 has made greatest efforts in a highly unusual quality to successfully stabilize and harmonize all sectors of society – including those of its geopolitical environment. The Organizing Committee of the WFSC therefore seeks the initiation of a dynamic global process on a spiritual, cultural and social level with the target to have LEADERS from politics, culture, religion, science, society, economy of all countries worldwide identify with the ideas and concepts represented by the WFSC for a global harmonization, so that a common approach can be developed to achieve the determined goals! Appropriate proposals are therefore included in this paper below.

PROPOSAL presented to the Org. Committee of the WFSC – meant as an application addressed to the President of the RK Nursultan Nazarbayev and to the Kazakh government:
In cooperation with qualified leading representatives from the spiritual-cultural level it must be ensured that the following VISIONS with practical suggestions, issues and initiatives will be introduced and explained to leaders and managers in politics and culture for immediate examination and practical realization:
I – FOUNDATION of a WORLD PEACE INSTITUTE
The primary long-term goal of world peace must be the basis in all political and cultural actions! This heartfelt wish of mankind, which reflects the true spiritual culture of the individual and of mankind on the whole, should be met through the initiation of an international, intercultural "WORLD PEACE INSTITUTE" by the WFSC, to be based in Astana / Kazakhstan!
The ethical principles of non-violence, justice, spiritual unity in diversity and the voluntary nature in all decisions on the political level must form an irrevocable part of the statutes of such institution.

II – Foundation of an ETHICAL WORLD COUNCIL
In a parallel action to the founding of an international peace institute of the WFSC it is essential to start shaping a future ETHICAL WORLD COUNCIL now with the following initial steps – those steps which are absolutely required in order to overcome the separation among peoples:
• Development of a SOCIAL CONCEPT based on ethical principles, offering to the various sectors of society a framework and policy guidelines, taking into account the basic principles such as equality and equal rights – a kind of social SYNTHESIS ("ideology") derived from some proven pragmatic structures of "Capitalism" and of "Communism" (state socialism)! This kind of 3rd Way must give full protection to all topics belonging to the biological health of our planetary life, i.e. it must take into account the biological unity of our planet.
• This is the special field for cultural, social and economic scientists. Therefore, the political leadership should by all means ensure the development of such a concept with all potential available.
III – Initiation of a WORLD CULTURAL COUNCIL
• The initiation of a WORLD CULTURAL COUNCIL representing at its core both the religious and the philosophical as well as ideological communities including all dissenters.is indispensable as a third measure.

In view of the importance of spiritual culture for all areas of national and global well-being the Org. Committee of the WFSC, therefore, supports the following
Application to the Government of Kazakhstan:
Establishing an autonomous state secretariat
The Kazakh government is sincerely requested to actively get engaged in this project using the governmental potential for the stepwise realization of these goals of humanity In order to realize the intitatives mentioned under I-III above an autonomous state secretariat with its own state budget, a dedicated staff and a defined area of responsibility under the leadership of Senator Tolegen Mukhamedzhanov would be required for the practical implementation! The WFSC-Org-Committee should take over an assisting and strongly supporting function in the field of politics (society) and culture within this body.
Simultaneously, the Kazakh government is kindly requested to consider appropriate resources and budgets for the proposals (I – III) outlined in this paper to allow for intercultural and international institutions to be established and to support these initiatives from the political and diplomatic side. The growing unification process of peoples and cultures is in urgent need of spiritual and cultural-ethnic support – a process requiring fixed budget resources from all countries involved in this unification process. The Culture Department (Cultural Attaché) should therefore fully support each Embassy of Kazakhstan in cooperation with the WFSC including all initiatives for the cultural process of spiritual-ethical dialogues among peoples.
Beyond the steps outlined above, the Organizing Committee of the WFSC, based in Astana, agrees to establish a global network organization for spiritual culture in collaboration with the various Ministries of Kazakhstan. By this measure, a close cooperation between politics and culture would be guaranteed – a prerequisite for the concept of WORLD PEACE.
