The philosophy of the International Biogenic Society is summarized
by its credo, which is as follows:
We believe that our most precious possession is Life.
We believe we shall mobilize all the forces of Life against the
forces of death.
We believe that mutual understanding leads toward mutual cooperation;
that mutual cooperation leads toward Peace; and that Peace is the only
way of survival for mankind.
We believe that we shall preserve instead of waste our natural resources,
which are the heritage of our children.
We believe that we shall avoid the pollution of our air, water,
and soil, the basic preconditions of Life.
We believe we shall preserve the vegetatin of our planet: the humble
grass which came fifty million years ago, and the majestic trees which
came twenty million years ago, to prepare our planet for mankind.
We believe we shall eat only fresh, natural, pure, whole foods,
without chemicals and artificial processing.
We believe we shall live a simple, natural, creative life, absorbing
all the sources of energy, harmony and knowledge, in and around us.
We believe that the improvement of life and mankind on our planet
must start with individual efforts, as the whole depends on the atoms
composing it.
We believe in the Fatherhood of God, the Motherhood of Nature, and
the Brotherhood of Man.
