Please Note: I do find this most remarkable, but I'm not surprised that this hasn't been disclosed to us as a whole for, if true, it would shake everyone to their cores.

The Third Appeal to Mankind
Presented in the year 1929 A.D.
Presented in the year 1929 A.D.
An appeal by the Coalition Group of Observers (CGO) to all intelligent
inhabitants of the planet Earth, to the race calling itself ÒmankindÓ.
inhabitants of the planet Earth, to the race calling itself ÒmankindÓ.
Delivered by E. Roerich and N. Roerich, intermediaries of Shambhala. 1929
This is the third and final Declaration of the CGO to people of the planet Earth.
The CGO gave its First Declaration to the inhabitants of Amuradgehapure, then
the largest city on Earth in the year 576 B.C. The Second Declaration was
presented to the inhabitants of Tkaacetkoal, the largest city on the American
Continent in the year 711 A.D. The present Declaration to the people of Earth is
basically identical to previous ones in content and is written in the most common
languages on Earth: Chinese, Russian, English, and Spanish. The text was edited with
a consideration for contemporary levels of the inhabitants’ knowledge and
misconceptions.
The sole purpose of this Declaration is to propose negotiations in the near
future between representatives of mankind and the Coalition in order to determine
whether mankind is ready to become a member of the Coalition. The negotiations
will be possible only upon your completion of certain preliminary conditions which
will be given later. For a proper understanding of these conditions we shall offer a
brief description of the true nature of the cosmos compared with the one resulting
from mankind’s characteristic way of thinking.
By now mankind has a more accurate conception of the universe than it had at
the time of the first and second Declarations. So, indeed, you recognize that the Earth
is not flat and is not located in the center of the Universe: it rotates around the Sun,
like the other planets; and you are certainly aware that the sun is not located in the
center of the universe, but is just another star within the galaxy.
However, the most recent energy transformation, sustaining the activity of the
stars (including your own sun) and permitting the existence of life on Earth is only
one of many in the universe. Aside from these observations, the vast majority of your
cosmological constructs are in error.
Your scientists’ belief that all universal laws are and always will be unvarying
and that physical constants are unchanging is illusory. For example, the gravitational
constant changes significantly even within your solar system, not to mention on any
larger scale. This fact has led you to seriously miscalculate the size of galaxies and
the distances between them, and has also produced the erroneous theory of a
circumscribed universe and, only this year, another erroneous theory of an expanding
universe. Your basic concept of three-dimensional space, which serves as a
fundamental building block for your cosmological ideas, is also in error.

fundamental building block for your cosmological ideas, is also in error.

The physical world is always changing; there is nothing static in it, including
spatial dimensions. Dimensions in space fluctuate, changing evenly over a very wide
range. The best condition for the beginning of organic life is a spatial dimension that
equals +p (3.1416...). Any significant deviation from that number will have a
negative influence on life. At present the region of your solar system has a dimension
of +3.00017. The nearness of that figure to the even number 3 (resulting in your
three-dimensional concept of volume) simply misled you.
A gravitational vortex with a dimension of –3.15 is drifting close to the edge of
the greatest concentration of stars in your galaxy. Even if it only barely grazes your
galaxy, it threatens to wipe out all organic life on all the planets that do not have
proper protection. This situation makes it imperative for you to become a member of
the Coalition in the near future, at least within the next 6,500 earth years, so the
Coalition will have enough time to help mankind to prepare and protect itself from
the vortex.
Presently there are about 220,000 (two hundred twenty thousand) intelligent
races in your galaxy, including yourselves, who are considering joining the Coalition.
But please do not construe our warning about the vortex as an attempt to influence
your decision.
You are in error regarding the origin of life on Earth. The solar system
originated from a dust-like cloud, disseminated by the Coalition’s construction corps
in a certain region of the your universe that has the two conditions necessary for the
initiation and development of life. This region is sufficiently remote from other stars
and has a dimension of space close to +p.
You are mistaken when you compare an intelligent race to a living individual,
thus envisioning the unavoidable deterioration and death of mankind in the near
future. During the evolutionary process, about which you have only a very vague
understanding, new species of living beings arise out of the old, and one’s concern
should be for the next generation: to have new, intelligent races on Earth originating
from yours. Precisely this consideration must define the goals of an intelligent race.
Meanwhile, according to CGO observations, the human race has no such goal,
nor even a semblance of one, leaving its development to chance and aiming all its
efforts toward the gratification of temporary needs. Your errors in thinking should not
be taken as accidental and transient. They are unavoidable and lasting due to the
specific nature of your thought processes, which we shall now briefly explore.
Thought and the very existence of living matter have a common basis. (We
remind you that we are forced to express ourselves in your language and at your level
of knowledge, and because of this certain inaccuracies may occur). Your thinking and
structure are the products of the limits of your logic. The search for logic is
characteristic of your way of thinking, but any similarity with the way of thinking
typical of the majority of intelligent races, which are members of the Coalition, ends
right there. This fact compels many members of the CGO to doubt the correctness of
regarding you as an intelligent race.

You analyze problems by thinking in terms of binary processes or alternatives,
like an absolute “yes” or an absolute “no”, which you accept as real. This is an
irrational process of thought used only by those with severely distorted structures. It
compounds itself in the multistage analysis of complicated problems. At the same
time the number of levels in your analysis is usually very small, even if the problem
you are analyzing is quite complicated. The search for a solution comes down to
choosing one out of two possibilities where two possible solutions exist, whereas the
most correct solution lies somewhere in between.
The following analogy will be clear to your mathematicians: If one obtains
answers to “yes” or “no” kinds of questions concerning a particular problem, the
solution will be analogous to choosing one of the apices of an N-dimensional cube,
whereas the range of possible solutions includes all points of N-dimensional space.
To be exact, most of the time you erroneously err in the estimation of the real range
of possible solutions which in reality are seldom quantitative.
As best as we can ascertain, in your scientific and juridical law, the meaning of
each discovery or invention, the essence of any important idea, can be expressed by a
simple sentence, consisting of a hundred words out of a 50,000 word vocabulary,
including mathematical and other specific symbols. The total quantity of possible
sentences of that vocabulary is represented by a very modest figure, 100. If we
consider only those sentences that have an analytic function, that is to convey
meaning — the number will be reduced to 50. Now, if we also eliminate those
sentences that are grammatically correct but lack even the slightest discernible
meaning, the quantity of meaningful sentences remaining will be reduced to 25.
Finally, if we then select the false statements from true ones, being generous with the
former in our evaluation, we have only 3-10 statements remaining that actually
correspond to reality. Meanwhile, we know some examples of life forms from several
other planets that are capable of showing at least the same number of various
unconditioned reactions to different combinations of external stimuli that are quite
consonant with reality; however these life forms cannot be called intelligent. There
are such species on your planet too. Evidently, it would be more correct to consider
humanity not intelligent, but a potentially intelligent race, because the limitations of
your thought processes, as you should have already gathered, are not of congenital
origin.
The human brain at birth is as impeccable a mechanism for thinking as are the
organs of thought of many intelligent races in the universe. The problem is that the
development of your thinking process from the very beginning took an absolutely
wrong path. At the beginning of the creation of the thinking process, the capability of
thinking was one of many potential reactions to the same information (Fig
Fig.. 11). On
this graph, labeled “Logical Foundation,” the intensity of perception of reaction to
the influence of information is located on the ordinate. Acceptability of that reaction
is located on the abscissa, with negative reaction to the left of zero, and positive
reactions to the right of zero. The curves on the chart represent everything in nature
that has not yet been processed by the anti-entropic activity of intelligence. The
chaotic splashes of curve are readily explained by physiological threshold effects.

The development of intelligence involves not only the building of a complex
system of logical thinking, but also reconstructing and improving the foundation
which serves as a basis for that system.
As numerous examples from different intelligent races show, the reconstruction
of a logical foundation according to the pattern shown in Fig.
Fig. 22 best fits the
requirements for an accurate comprehension of nature. It is important to mention,
however, that we know a few races in the universe who not only show that linear
structure but also have some branches stretching out to infinity (Fig.
Fig. 33). They
constitute their own independent union of races, outside of the Coalition, because we
could not find a language in common with them.
The principal difference between their way of thinking and ours is that the area
delineating our foundation of logic is finite, while their is infinite. It is hard for us to
survive the heavy impact of their positive and negative reactions to an informational
input that extends out to infinity.
Man’s primitive logical foundation has two major splashes to the right and to the
left of zero, and also several minor ones. This fact shows once again that man never
had before nor does he now have any obstacles to the construction of his own
logical foundation in accordance with the pattern of continuous (non-binary)
logic generally accepted in the universe. From the very beginning, man’s intellect
developed in a completely faulty manner, oriented only on those powerful splashes,
so that it now approximates the appearance of the logical foundation shown in Fig.
Fig. 44.
Those splashes to the right and left of zero are nothing but your absolute “yes” and
“no,” [your binary split] without which you are, in general, unable to imagine
anything, even though only the force of habit stands in your way. This ridiculous
splitting of your logical base into absolute conceptions of “yes” and “no” is the
greatest obstacle to comprehending a state of being which today is only rudimentary
in you.
Moreover, you have recently developed a theoretical elaboration of your system
of logic that compounds, rather than corrects, your errors: your theoretical logical
systems now operate with greater refinement of your binary conceptualizations,
leaving out all other variants of logical decision-making (Fig.
Fig. 55). These ludicrous
theoretical elaborations, instead of being a move forward, are a step backward, even
compared with the original, logical, foundation of human thinking described above.
This is because the area of the figure describing your logical foundation, instead
of being equal to some finite number, becomes equal to zero. Thus, one of the most
primitive functions, which has only two meanings, is taken as the basis of your
thinking. A general summary shows that the larger the area describing a logical
foundation, the more perfect is the process of thought.
Hence, regrettably, the inevitable but deserved conclusion is that if your system
of apprehending reality can scarcely be called thinking, it must be the most
primitive of all those possible. Your binary logic forces you to distort everything
that is essential. Thus the natural series of numbers, which is possible in principle, is
just an artificial mathematical trick that is only slightly consonant with reality, but it
system of logical thinking, but also reconstructing and improving the foundation
which serves as a basis for that system.

primitive of all those possible. Your binary logic forces you to distort everything
that is essential. Thus the natural series of numbers, which is possible in principle, is
just an artificial mathematical trick that is only slightly consonant with reality, but it
17
becomes for you the cornerstone of that mathematical foundation so familiar to the
majority of humans. You try to quantify just about everything and at the same time
you cannot even provide precise information about the strength of the wind,
expressing it simply in binary concepts of “yes” and “no”, “it is” or “it isn’t” and,
moreover, without the expectation of any meaningful understanding of those
statements.
Arithmetical quantification led you to new problems, brought about more by the
primitiveness of your thinking than by the exigencies of reality. So you waste your
energy trying to solve them, seeing them as real anomalies of nature that are difficult
to harmonize with your world view. One example: your dealing with rational and
irrational numbers as if they had a real scale. Binary logic forces you to fragment and
artificially separate solid perceptions into independent facts, occurrences, conceptions,
and categories, artificially separating them one from the other.
Your limited logic and obsession with quantification forces you to believe that
there is a finite number of attributes to an object or event and also to label each of
them. This gives you the dubious opportunity of separating one attribute from another,
a trick you call “abstraction.” The movement through the steps of abstraction to more
common signs is, in your understanding, the only way (and the only right one), but in
reality it takes you in the opposite direction from truth.
You believe that moving from the highest level of abstraction to the lowest
common denominator is the only correct way to proceed. On the contrary, it is really
just the opposite. It is no accident that all your abstract constructs, called
philosophical systems, are self-contradicting, even though they are based on a
common logic.
Step by step, descending into darkness along levels of abstraction, step by step,
losing connection with reality, little by little your philosophical systems lose their
orientation and finally at the “dead end” of their progression you are forced to answer
the meaningless question about the priority of matter over spirit, by a “yes” or a “no.”
Because of the weakness of your logical foundation you are limited in your ability
to finely differentiate between objects and events, basing your distinctions upon
a variety of notations, which are quite chaotic and illogical even from the point
of view of your own logic. This is very easily proven, for instance, in the case of
human language, where the distinctions are quite inexact.
Your method of communication, which you claim as one of the superior
achievements of the human mind, is based upon the establishment of such
meaningless differentiations. If you calculate the number of meaningful sentences
in your language, you will see how primitive it is as a method of informational
exchange, and is, rather, a way to limit that process. And it is not an achievement
of intellect, only a transient, dysfunctional step in the early stage of human
evolution.
Considering language as an instrument for both exchanging and conveying
information, you have not yet noticed how much it impacts your way of thinking,
how inevitably it forces you into the very same process of fragmentation and
majority of humans. You try to quantify just about everything and at the same time
you cannot even provide precise information about the strength of the wind,
expressing it simply in binary concepts of “yes” and “no”, “it is” or “it isn’t” and,
moreover, without the expectation of any meaningful understanding of those

evolution.
Considering language as an instrument for both exchanging and conveying
information, you have not yet noticed how much it impacts your way of thinking,
how inevitably it forces you into the very same process of fragmentation and
18
compartmentalization. Thus your ethics and esthetics, particularly, contain a
multitude of conceptual pairs that are mutually contradictory, such as thesis and
antithesis.
Your public and personal morals follow the same principles of polarizing ideas
like “love—hate,” “good—evil,” “life—death,” and so on...
Even your own observation, that different nations attach different meanings to
those antithetical concepts is of no help to you. In the course of time, the very
meanings themselves keep changing. Meanwhile you think of yourselves as a highly
civilized race, yet in a court of law you apply a “yes” or “no” criterion to determine
whether a verdict of guilt or innocence is appropriate for a single individual. Under
no circumstances would such criteria be acceptable for determining the fate of a
nation. But you permit the categorical principles of “yes” or “no” to dominate even
there, turning virtually the entire planet into an enormous jail for all nations.
Moreover, your binary system of logic allows you to entrust the destiny of all
nations and the entire human race to a handful of individuals. In international politics
this is your idea of “a state of peace” or “a state of war” with abrupt shifts of logic.
You think that this is perfectly natural, without even considering whether it is rational,
and pursue it with a truly absurd tenacity. The latest world war and the new one about
to happen, prove that your precipitous development of technology has not propelled
you into wisdom.
Because of the abrupt and almost instantaneous shifts of your social structures
and international politics from one state to another, it is very difficult for us to make
any prediction regarding your future development. For the last couple of thousand
years, the CGO has observed that you are almost continuously at war with each other:
because of the natural course of historical processes, it will take twelve thousand
years before your warring will begin to diminish.
Nevertheless, the CGO is aware that there has been an accelerated development
of intelligence by at least some individuals, and this consideration allows us to
believe that this Declaration is not hopeless. However, any agreement between
mankind and the Coalition can only be concluded after human beings have overcome
their reprehensible habits.
Owing to the primitive state of your logic, the CGO is forced to be skeptical of
the development of the human race in the following additional respects: your
civilization’s attitude to ward technology and your personal fear of death. The
development of technology in itself, is definitely a positive sign, which leads the
CGO to favor the human race as intelligent, but the idealization of technology, and
your assigning it a special role as the prime attribute of your civilization, is alarming
to us. Historically, when separate regions of the Earth lacked direct communication,
the human race developed haphazardly. It did achieve several experimental
civilizations of different types, some of which were approved by the CGO.
Regrettably, when direct contact between different cultures finally appeared in
the process of development and expansion, they could not coexist in peace. Crude,

antithesis.
Your public and personal morals follow the same principles of polarizing ideas

because of the natural course of historical processes, it will take twelve thousand
years before your warring will begin to diminish.
Nevertheless, the CGO is aware that there has been an accelerated development
of intelligence by at least some individuals, and this consideration allows us to
believe that this Declaration is not hopeless. However, any agreement between
mankind and the Coalition can only be concluded after human beings have overcome
their reprehensible habits.
Owing to the primitive state of your logic, the CGO is forced to be skeptical of
the development of the human race in the following additional respects: your
civilization’s attitude to ward technology and your personal fear of death. The
development of technology in itself, is definitely a positive sign, which leads the
CGO to favor the human race as intelligent, but the idealization of technology, and
your assigning it a special role as the prime attribute of your civilization, is alarming
to us. Historically, when separate regions of the Earth lacked direct communication,
the human race developed haphazardly. It did achieve several experimental
civilizations of different types, some of which were approved by the CGO.
Regrettably, when direct contact between different cultures finally appeared in
the process of development and expansion, they could not coexist in peace. Crude,
19
primitive and, because of these qualities, more powerful civilizations usually
exterminated those that were more intelligent and humane, only to be exterminated,
in turn, by an even cruder force.
Unfortunately, a mechanistic civilization, the most primitive of all, dominates
the Earth at the present time. It encompasses the entire human race, keeps it under
control, and will not give a new civilization the chance to emerge. Only if the
mechanistic civilization self-destructs and man takes control into its own hands, will
a new and different civilization emerge: one that will be more conducive to the
essential well-being of the race.
The CGO hopes that this final Declaration, along with appropriate help from the
Coalition, will initiate that transformation provided mankind shows a sincere desire
to change. We wish, however, to point out that civilizations with centers in
Amuradgehapure, at the time of the First Declaration, and Tkaacetkoal, at the time of
the Second Declaration, were more attuned to the needs of the human race than your
contemporary mechanistic society.
As one of possible means of help, the CGO can provide the human race with
detailed descriptions of those civilizations, to be used as models for a new civilization.
One of our major criteria for judging a race as intelligent is where every member
elevates collective intelligence above all else. Consequently, man as an intelligent
being must prioritize the development of the collective racial intelligence. The
functions of man are as follows: harvest all information from previous generations,
add whatever is newly acquired from experience and perception, then pass it on to the
next generation, increased and improved.
Chaotic fluctuations in the movement of an intelligent society’s thought
processes are necessary: after sifting through history one finds zigzags in the
movement of thoughts that correspond to shifts in the changing objective picture of
reality. The latter is unpredictable in direction, while the spectrum of thinking of any
individual has a consistency during that individual’s life span. Hence it follows that
each generation’s transformation is necessary not for the preservation and
continuation of the species, but for preservation of their cumulative intelligence
as a race of intelligent beings.
Therefore, considering the cosmic laws of Freedom of Will and Freedom of
Choice, any hope you have that contact with extraterrestrial races will help to solve
your ethical problems are groundless and impractical. The problem has a solution, but
it is not what you think. Indeed, generally speaking it is not a problem at all.
Moreover, we cannot offer the human race appropriate solutions, no matter how dire
the situation might be, because each race has a right to decide its own destiny.

The CGO will maintain contact with mankind and its independent
representatives to answer any questions and to provide help with any problem
relating to personal character. But the main purpose of this Declaration is to warn you
about the coming danger and apprise you of our offer to become a member of the
Coalition. At the very first inquiry, the by-laws of the Coalition and a description of
its structure may be handed over for study and publication by the government of any
representatives to answer any questions and to provide help with any problem
relating to personal character. But the main purpose of this Declaration is to warn you
about the coming danger and apprise you of our offer to become a member of the
Coalition. At the very first inquiry, the by-laws of the Coalition and a description of
its structure may be handed over for study and publication by the government of any
20
of the four largest countries, or by the Secretary of the League of Nations without any
further provisos. If you decide to join the Coalition you will first have to undertake
the rebuilding of the logical foundation of your thinking according to guidelines
common to the Coalition.
That stipulation is needed because your distorted way of thinking will cause a
growing inferiority complex in anyone who joins, but, also primarily, because of
basic differences in the thought process itself. This would lead to failure in the
exchange of vital, perhaps very basic, information between the races of the Coalition
and mankind. Regrettably, this Declaration is an example of such a flawed
communication. At present, mankind is useless to the Coalition and vice versa.
Without the reconstruction of your thought processes, we are powerless even to
lend you a hand to protect you from the vortex. As we see it, it will take you about six
thousand years to reconstruct the logical foundation of your thinking, which,
considering the very considerable threat to your galaxy, is a most crucial period.
Therefore you should undertake this task immediately.10
The CGO pledges that as soon as man’s first inquiry is received, we will hand
over the initial course and detailed instruction for the gradual training of future
generations in continuous [non-binary] logic. However, we will not do so before all
the intelligent nations of Earth cease their absurd quarrels and agree to concentrate all
of their efforts on the lengthy process of thought reconstruction. Otherwise, if a
bellicose nation comes to grasp the principles of continuous logic it would be
tantamount to giving it an absolute weapon, and ultimately lead to destruction of the
entire human race.
The present Third Declaration of the CGO to mankind is the final one. The
absence of a response in the next 50 (fifty) earth years will be construed as an
indication that mankind is rejecting this offer to become a member of the
Coalition.
