21. Before socialism and capitalism…
The positive-cum- spiritual inquiry action
cycle works better for the overall
development of human being. But
spiritual injustice and fundamentalism
are harmful for any nation. So, we
should utilize the human- friendly
spiritual core values by pummeling
the dark side of it. This is the principal
reason to converging development,
science, positivity and spiritual wisdom
together for sustainable development.

22. Advancing AI
Appreciative Inquiry is advancing towards
common good values and interfaith by
converging positivity, development,
science and spiritualism.
This is one of the best ways to converge
the East and West.

23. Convergence of positivity, science,
spiritualism and development
Religion, science and social science are the
branches of the same tree. We cannot detach
religion and spirituality from science and
development. Religion and spiritualism emerged
before the invention of money, the dawn of capitalism
and socialism. It is logical to converge the human
friendly core of science, religion, positivity,
spiritualism, and development for world renewal.

more the human, humanity and the mother
earth. This is possible through the
generative advancement of AI

26. “Lets prevail peace on earth, heaven, space,
universe, water, herbs, vegetation, gods
and goddesses and on peace itself that
combines all the things for global good.”
Veda
