~ Idea 6687 ~
My dear wife Barbara and I must have as our first and absolute priority the dream of Paradise Earth.
Even tourism (find a better word for it) should be understood as the knowledge and visiting Paradise Earth, our Earth and to contribute to it.

| | Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 9 Of Spirituality | | After the subjects of love and happiness, spirituality seemed to me so important that I devoted an entire book to it: New Genesis, Shaping a Global Spirituality, and wrote a chapter, "The UN and Spirituality" in My Testament to the UN.
At the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1993 it was a great honor for me to be the opening speaker, to write the preface to the Sourcebook for the Parliament and to outline a vision of a spiritual world in the year 2013, twenty years after the session of the Parliament. (See Volume III, pages 93 - 100 of my 5000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World.) My speech led to the creation of the United Religions Initiative a founding step to the United Religions Organization.

Conversations With Remarkable Elders: Dr. Robert Muller
Kathy: Robert, what's on your mind this morning.
Robert: I have recently read several national newspapers and as never before I am totally surprised by the lack of meaningful information. It is only a reproduction of ideas but no progress. The invisible spirit of humanity has been totally eliminated from these newspapers.
Kathy: What can we do?
Robert: Become a missionary at the moment.
Robert: When I worked at the United Nations no meeting could begin without playing Ode To Joy of Beethoven with my harmonica. I can not resist not to play the harmonica. I was known at the United Nations as the prophet of Hope. Even if you don't have a harmonica have your own music of life and do not let anyone brings you down. Too many people have already died with their music inside.
 
 (here is Robert sharing his music with a family at a restaurant, and with a baby and two dogs while taking a walk at the beach with Barbara and I. Everyone welcomes his joy.)
Robert: I have thought about this idea, a machine next to my tomb that can play the Ode To Joy of Beethoven for 25 cents, the music I play with my harmonica. I also would like a second machine that can play some of my speeches for 25 cents.
Kathy: Robert, the Secretary General of the United Nations just told us that 60% of the world population lives with $2 a day. How can people afford 50 cents in these machines next to your tomb?
Robert: You are correct, I have to consider this seriously and I will tell Barbara, my wife.
Kathy: Is it okay if I download the Ode To Joy that you play with your harmonica and put it in my website for everyone?
Robert: Even better, what a great idea...

Robert Playing Ode To Joy At Agape Unity Church To Great Applause And The Story Of How He Came To Be A Harmonica Player Kathy: There is a beautiful painting in your bedroom and I would like to know the story of it. Jesus appears next to the United Nations building in New York.
 Robert: This painting is a gift from a French artist. He gave it to me and told me... "here is Jesus himself knocking at your office window. If you could only have the heart to hear it and the eyes to see it."
Kathy: Robert, do you think that Jesus was a prophet?
Robert: I reject this idea because a prophet is a spokesperson who represents ideas. This representation is not universal.
Kathy: Is there a way to please everyone?
Robert: Well, when I do not focus on me, instead, I focus on the common good. Can you imagine how China would feel if I say that their God is not God. I prefer to turn this around and talk about the good in everyone and the possibilities that we all have to contribute. We need world union.
Kathy: Is the Arab community part of world union?
Robert: Yes, they are already integrated. It just occurred to me that we have already achieved world union. We seem to have reached that stage of human evolution. Only the unity of all can be the well-being of all.
Kathy: Now I have an idea for you Robert, please write an article about how the human family has already achieved world union.
Robert: Yes, I will do that and Barbara will help me.
Kathy: Robert, how is happiness therapeutic and healing?
Write down all the reasons why you are happy. Give more than what you have. If you are at service, you'll be eternally happy.
Kathy: Robert I want to open my heart and share my happiness with you too. Robert, thank you for being alive, for sharing your words and wisdom with the human family... and thank you for a being a magnificent elder. You talk about your tomb... what comes to my mind is you being part of the universe as a happy star. I can't imagine you in a box. I can imagine you as a shinning star in the universe. Poets look for stars to find inspiration and meaning. Those who wonder look at the stars for guidance. Many of us look at the stars to dream, get inspire and shape our dreams. For the spark on your eyes, today I can say that I met a shinning star on earth.
Thank you Robert for being you. KJW

Questions from the audience
Robert, do you meditate?
Robert: Every morning I momentanize. I have the feelings of the wonders of life. I listen to nature and I know that nature listens to me. Every morning I get into me again.
Robert, why did you chose the path of happiness?
Robert: Because life is divine. When I was three years old I used to go to a church next to our home and I will tell everyone, life is divine!!! Happiness is a kind of law and we can not afford not to be happy. Make every effort to be proud of being alive.
