SCIENCE
Modern science is making rapid strides toward all the great Truths presented in Eastern philosophies and religions, and soon, very soon, they will meet and shake hands. Spiritualized science is developing based on empirical observations (the creativity of the intellect) and signals—enlightenments, inspirations—that come from realms beyond the intellect ("the creativity of the soul").
Science is free, honest, and fearless. Science can change instantaneously and can enlighten upon world problems. Science is beautiful and therefore is infinite. Science does not tolerate prohibition, prejudice, and superstition. Science can find the great even in the quest of the small. Ask great scientists—how often the most astonishing discoveries took place during ordinary research. The eye was open and the brain was not dusty. The path of those who know how to investigate without limitations is the Path of the Future.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF COSMONAUTICS
On April 12th, we celebrate the International Day of Cosmonautics, and for this purpose, we publish the story that Konstantin Edvardovich Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935), a Russian educator and self-taught scientist, author of Cosmic Scientific Esoteric Philosophy and pioneer of the theory of rocket technology, told his grandson Alyosha. Tsiolkovsky's main idea was to achieve happiness not only for humanity but also for all living beings in the cosmos and for the entire universe. According to Tsiolkovsky's cosmic philosophy, HAPPINESS is the absence of suffering in the entire universe, for all time, and the absence of all processes that destroy goodness - it is the way to UNIVERSAL HAPPINESS.
LIVING ETHICS
Living Ethics is a scientific-philosophical doctrine of Russian thought about the universe as a whole: its origin and development, its structure and laws, the role of intelligent forces (cosmic mind) in the development of the universe, the evolution of humans and human society, the moral and ethical foundations of existence, and the methods of spiritual progress as a necessary requirement of evolution. It is a doctrine about the multi-layered structure of humans, the laws and methods of managing psychic energy. The most important goal of the upcoming evolutionary stage is the spiritual transformation of humans by expanding consciousness, raising energy levels, and purifying their matter.The philosophical system of Living Ethics was created with the help of the Teachers by Nicholas Konstantinovich Roerich (1874–1947) and Helen Ivanovna Roerich (1879–1955), exceptional polymaths, scientists, philosophers, artists, writers, creators of a new concept of CULTURE, and heralds of cosmic evolution.
