Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1022 ~    28 April 1997

If our Earth were suddenly attacked by outer-space beings in sophisticated vehicles equipped with armaments more advanced than ours, all humanity, all nations would react immediately as one body. 

But the prospect that our Earth might irremediably perish during the next century due to our own overpopulation, overconsumption, increasing atomic and ultra-violet radiation, mismanagement and wrong courses seems to leave us unperturbed.  How strange. 

Why not create a World Emergency Council to save the Earth?

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art

Make of your life a masterpiece of which you can be proud, as artists are of their paintings, sculptures, music or writings. 

As a matter of fact, art and writing will follow, for you will want to express and preserve your life in a durable form. 

Leonardo da Vinci was a great example of it with his daily notebook hanging at his belt.

Gather yourselves!

Banish the word ’struggle’
from your attitude and
your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done
in a sacred manner and
in celebration.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.


InnerNet Weekly
We are the Ones We've Been Waiting For
by Hopi Elders

You have been telling people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered…

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?

Know your garden.
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for your leader.

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, “This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.

The time of the one wolf is over.

Gather yourselves!

Banish the word ’struggle’ from your attitude and your vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1021 ~    27 April 1997

The next two great, global celebrations which should be held by humanity are:

- in 1998, the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; (This has been done.  The United Nations has declared 1998 Human Rights Year.)

- in 2000, the world-wide celebration of our entry into a new century and millennium.  It was my first idea of these 2000 ideas and dreams started on 11 July 1994.

For the record I reproduce it here again.  I wrote it twenty years ago for Earth Day 1977, at the suggestion of anthropologist Margaret Mead, who considered like Sigmund Freud that a global anthropology should be next on the agenda of world affairs.

My Dream 2000

I dream
that on 1 January 2000
The whole world will stand still
In prayer, awe and gratitude
For our beautiful, heavenly Earth
And for the miracle of human life.

I dream
That young and old, rich and poor,
Black and white,
People from North and South,
From East and West,
From all beliefs and cultures
Will join their hands, minds and hearts
in an unprecedented, universal
Bimillennium Celebration of Life.

I dream
That during the year 2000
Innumerable celebrations and events
Will take place all over the globe
To gauge the long road covered by humanity
To study our mistakes
And to plan the feats
Still to be accomplished
For the full flowering of the human race
In peace, justice and happiness.

I dream
That the few remaining years
To the Bimillennium
Be devoted by all humans, nations and institutions
To unparalleled thinking, action,
Inspiration, elevations,
Determination and love
To solve our remaining problems
And to achieve
A peaceful, united human family on Earth.

I dream
That the year 2000
Will be declared World Year of Thanksgiving
by the United Nations.*

I dream
That the third millennium
Will be declared
And made
Humanity's First Millennium of Peace

*The UN General Assembly approved this proposal on 20 November 1997.

This dream has spread around the world in the following languages:  French, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese and Dutch.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
May your life be a beautiful work of art.  Work at it always.  Make it your priority, your purpose, your ideal.  Be able to say to yourself:  I have made my life a resplendent work of art.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1020 ~    26 April 1997
A fresh look should be given to the practice of celebrations [Myths, Stories, Songs, Dance, Art] which have the virtue of bringing together humans and creating ties of sentiment from the family, the city, the nation to the entire humanity and planet
All calendars published in the world should mention celebrations.  The United Nations publishes each year an updated list of world celebrations.

These will help fulfill Sigmund Freud's vision when he gave the following answer to Einstein who could not understand why humans continued to make war on each other and to produce armaments:

Freud noted that humans are divided between instincts of aggression and love. 

[World] Peace would require the development of ties of sentiment among people [Global humanity]. 
"The love of country has succeeded in binding people at the national level. 
The great new historical challenge is to develop love among all Earth inhabitants, and for the Earth itself," he said.
How right this statement is! 
It should open an important chapter in the new science, art and methodology of global psychology.  Theses on the subject should be written by students in Universities.  I am glad that a book on celebrations by Linda Grover is a current best-seller in the United States (see Introduction). 
The author has asked me to write a chapter on global celebrations for a new book she is writing.

Nor is it surprising that the extreme right conservatives of the United States are against any new celebrations and world conferences by the UN.  They claim that they cost too much money.  Well, I hope that someone will calculate how much military celebrations in nations cost the taxpayers.  That is an expense which could usefully be shifted to other social needs or celebrations.
I pray that there will be some day on this planet a University which will teach a science, a strategy and a methodology of celebrations.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art

Art is not distinct from life. 
It is the highest expression of life. 

Each human being should be an artist,
were it only of their own life. 
Yes, to be able to say:

"My life is a work of art."

WORD FOR THE DAY

All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up;

that emotion is impure
which seizes only one side of your being
and so distorts you.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1018 ~    24 April 1997

I wish that every head of state would have a note on his desk indicating how many days are left to the year 2000 to remind them to make efforts to settle unsolved conflicts and issues, correct injustices and contribute to a more peaceful, beautiful, preserved Earth and happier humanity.  Time is running out.  The year 2000 must be made a memorable, successful entry of humanity into a new century and millennium.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
"What do you think an artist is?  An imbecile who only has eyes when he is a painter; only ears when he is a musician?  Only a lyre when a poet?  On the contrary, the artist is altogether a person who constantly participates in the world's events, sweet or bitter.... who is an additional tool to fight against the enemies of humanity's progress."

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
It would be good if a number of prominent national publishers would join and create a World Publishing House for the publication of global books and of a true global literature with vital global information and solutions.  The time is ripe, well overdue for that.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,

A painter will never paint all they want to paint
A writer will never write all they want to write
A composer will never compose all they want to compose.
Once such a skill is mastered it becomes a second nature and there will be no end to what you can accomplish.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1015 ~    21 April 1997

It is good news that US citizens are beginning to react to the colossal overconsumption in their country, fostered in millions of ways by business, marketing, advertisement and the media.

A 1995 survey by the Merck Family Fund found that since the decade began, 28 percent of respondents have voluntarily reduced their income.  Two-thirds said that they did so to reduce stress, increase personal time and restore balance in their lives.

Trends Research Institute named simplicity one of the 1997's top ten trends.  "Never before, in the Institute's 17 years of trend tracking, has a societal trend grown so quickly, spread so broadly and been embraced so eagerly," TRI reports.

Unfortunately, big business knows that and is now targeting the developing countries for western consumption habits through marketing and advertisement which are very cheap in these countries.

Artists must be promoters of great, noble causes.  They must be philanthropists (lovers of humans) and gaiaphilists (lovers of Gaia, our Mother Earth).

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1011 ~    17 April 1997

In a hundred years, when humanity will look back, this century will look as imperfect as we consider today all preceding centuries. 

The correction of errors and of wrong beliefs is part of evolution. 

We owe it to the next generations to look right into the face of these errors and wrong beliefs and to remedy them. 

The end of the current century and millennium gives us a heaven-sent opportunity and obligation to do that. 

Please, dear reader, write down and send to your congress people - parliamentarians what you consider to be our current errors, injustices and wrong beliefs.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
If you want to become a great artist, learn a technique of expression well and then let flow your heart. 

Under no circumstance think of success and promotion.  This will come if you merit it. 

To be passionately, fully yourself is the only way. 

To please the market is not the way. 

Work for your reputation and your reputation will work for you.

To be lasting, an artist and writer must be a prophet of good, hope and happiness.  They must deal with the essentials of life and give inspirational, uplifting, reassuring answers.
