Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1379 ~    20 April 1998

I would like to see a world with only beautiful names, like: Curacao, the Heart; Sri Lanka, the beautiful island; Canada, the land of many villages; France, the land of the free; Pakistan, the land of the pure; Philippines, the country of the horse lovers; Tanganyka, the lake surrounded by trees, etc.  Any others?

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1376 ~    17 April 1998

National parks?  After having invented zoos to park animals and reserves to park indigenous people, our so-called western "civilization" has now invented reserves to park nature!  Western man always finds ways to overcome obstacles to his own, stubborn conquering, greedy ways.  But this time it is his final attempt, because the destruction of the Earth and of his own are at stake.

Let us make the whole Earth a well-preserved paradise and put industries and commerce into restricted "parks".  In other words nature first everywhere and economic activities in limited confines.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
There is a deep happiness in the expectation of a forthcoming happiness.  This is part of individual futurology. 

Humans have the wonderful capacity to look ahead, to live in the future, to expect and to plan. 

This is a manifestation of the will for life. 

Our expectations of the future are much more positive than negative:  if not, the certainty of death would destroy all our efforts and illusions. 

Humans are fundamentally a positive species.

    ~ Idea 1374 ~    15 April 1998

I claim also the fundamental individual human right of my children and grandchildren not to see this Earth on whose elements our lives depend destroyed by unending wasteful construction, industrial production, wasteful commerce, marketed and advertised unnecessary, harmful consumption, colossal built-in obsolescence, and other evils of the current materialistic economic system.

This new right should also be put on the agenda of the UN Human Rights Commission, supplementary to the great new work on an Earth Charter.

I don't believe that children are born with empathy. It is something they learn by seeing it modeled by others. --Jacqui Rivait


Fact of the Day:
Human behaviors are often explained as hard-wired evolutionary leftovers of life on the savannah or during the Stone Age. But a study of one very modern behavior, fairness toward total strangers one will never meet again, suggests it evolved recently, and is rooted in culture rather than biology. In a series of behavioral tests given to 2,100 people in societies around the world (from hunter-gatherers to wage laborers), an innate sense of fairness dovetailed with participation in markets and major religions. "You can't get the effects we're seeing from genes," notes evolutionary psychologist Joe Henrich. "These are things you learn as a consequence of growing up in a particular place." [ more ]


Be The Change:
Reflect on how you are promoting fairness in your own life and culture.

~ Idea 1368 ~    9 April 1998

Every time I go through a spell of pessimism, I wake up the following morning with a great enlightenment, with positive, elated thoughts for a better world and a better personal life and duty.

Since humanity is becoming one body, should we not consider our global crises and pessimisms to be also eves of new enlightenments? 

I often say that humanity is in its kindergarten of the global age.  This is wrong.  I am 75 years old and a very much life experienced man. 

So let us consider humanity's crises and pessimisms to be also a phenomenon of maturity and wisdom.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1367 ~    8 April 1998

During a night, after a crisis of pessimism provoked by the remembrance of the crucifixion of Jesus and the assassinations of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, I woke up with this message from God Rasur, the indigenous God of children:

"Be what the Hopis named you: Kogyun Deyo, Spider Boy.  Make a vast spider web to catch all evil in the world and throw it far away into the universe from this hill where I appeared to the children and where you have the privilege to live."

I listened and decided to return to my 2000 ideas, dreams and prophecies which I had neglected for a while.  And I regained happiness, God's recompense.

[GMW #2138] Proper Earth Government With New Political, Economic, Education, Media ... Rethought From Scratch

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1365 ~    6 April 1998

An intern of our International Radio for Peace to whom I explained that Capitalism was obsolete and bound for change, answered: "But I know of a new monetary system which could remedy all that."  I replied to him: "I do not want to see it.  I have at least twenty of them.  The problem is that the holders of the existing system do not even want to look into anything else.  The only thing which can save us is to call in a world conference to rethink from scratch the whole economic system of this planet."

I gave him another example: "You have many proposals for a world federal government.  They might all be good, but there will be people who will object, by saying: 'the states you would federate are totally artificial.  They are the results of conquests, marriages, stealings of lands, etc.  What is needed is an Earth government based on bioregions, regions which have a life in common, like the great river basin countries, the mountain countries, the Arctic and Antarctic, etc.  Proper Earth government requires that we think in those terms.'  My answer again to them is: "We need urgently a world conference to rethink from scratch the way this planet is governed or rather misgoverned.  At it, all ideas would be reviewed to find which is the best, or which is the best combination in the interest of the Earth and humanity."

I refer therefore here to ideas 527 to 547 in which I urge that 21 basic segments of human life on this planet should be reconsidered and rethought from scratch:
a new political system,
a new economics,
a new education,
a new media and communications,
a new democracy,
a new global leadership,
a spiritual Renaissance,
a non-violent human society,
a well preserved planet,
a decent well-being for all humans,
a stabilization of world population,
right human settlements,
disarmament,
demilitarization,
a global security of the planet,
a new science and technology,
a new world psychology,
a new science and art of planetary management,
and a new art and culture.
These should all be the object of major world conferences to be held as rapidly as possible as we enter the 21st century and third millennium.

Governments might not listen to me, but it is my duty to say this in the light of my fifty years of world experience.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, place to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. --John Muir


Fact of the Day:
In the age of multi-tasking, constant communication, and overwhelming stimuli, studies show that a 20 minute walk helps refocus our minds and revive our spirits. Researchers explain, "Nature engages your attention in relaxed fashion- leaves rustling, patterns of clouds, sunsets, a bird, the shape of an old tree. It captures our attention in subtle, bottom-up ways and allows our top-down attention abilities a chance to regenerate. Attention, therefore, is "restored" by exposure to natural environments. [ more ]


Be The Change:
Incorporate spending time in nature into your weekly routine.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1364 ~    5 April 1998

I sometimes take out one of my old journals or Markings from past years to see what I thought at that time.  During the night I came across the following Marking in 1983, fifteen years ago:

"In a hundred years, capitalism and communism will be past history."

Well, it did not take 100 years for communism to disappear, and I wonder if it will take as much for capitalism.  I think it will be much sooner.  The collapse of the South Korean stock market last December was the first sign, but the US stopped it immediately with a donation of 10 billion dollars infinitely quicker than paying its past dues to the United Nations.  Within days no one spoke about it anymore.  But there will be other crises which will put an end to this second obsolete ideology of the 19th century or force it to change.

Take a large city like New York or take the entire world.  If in this immense mass of people one human being, held erect by the will to live, suddenly lets go, do you think that he will survive?  No.  The will to stay erect, the will to live and to be fully oneself is the single, most important force available to us.

Movements or world alliances of national and international associations should apply for accreditation to the UN where they will acquire world-wide hearing, visibility and impact.

The launching of such movements and alliances could be a major achievement of the Peoples' World Assembly 2000.
