Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1402 ~    13 May 1998

Many people will say: this guy Muller is crazy to come up with so many ideas, to write so many books, to deliver so many speeches, to receive and listen to so many people.

Well, I do not think so, because when I observe nature in Costa Rica, I see that every plant, every tree produces thousands of seeds of which only a few will germinate.

I do the same: the more seeds I produce, the better the chance to see a few grow.  And I have an advantage over nature: my seeds can spread far over the world.

Please remember, dear reader: if you have an idea spread it wide and far.  Network it.  Read my Decide to Network exhortation.  Even better: have many ideas, to see the chances of results increased.

My greatest expectation and reward from these 2000 ideas would be to see numerous, if not all humans come up with ideas
for peace,
a better world,
a most beautiful,
well-preserved Earth,
a true paradise of happy,
fulfilled humans.

For March 11 - Life Celebration For Robert
Dearest Wayne,

If you only know how familiar I am with you and your work. Robert spoke of you so often and you also inspired him.

Bless you and I will read your message to those who gather in New York.

Barbara Muller

---

Good Morning Barbara,
I received the notice this morning about the reception to honor Robert Muller on March 11 in NYC.   I will be away from the area March 10-20 and will not be able to come.  This circumstance is the only reason why I will not be there. 

Robert had a profound influence on me in the 1980s when I started Global Education Motivators (GEM).  I always followed his activities and took to heart his teachings.

The world is a better place because of the life of Robert Muller. 

It will continue to be a better place because of his legacy.

Profound Regrets.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1401 ~    12 May 1998

Dear readers, I beg you: create or join networks of love and common concerns to counteract the conspiracies of evil and of interests on this planet. 

Join a United Nations Association, or create one if there is none in your area, or join any other non-governmental organization or peoples association working for peace and a better world. 

You cannot imagine how much happiness you will derive from it. 

Networking and peoples' movements and associations are the new democracy. 
Do not say: there is nothing I can do.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
Decide to be what you are.  Don't simply "try".
Decide to live fully your life.  Don't simply "try".
Decide to have your fullest human dimension, in body, mind, heart and soul.

Don't simply try.

Dr. Muller helped shape many of the the United Nations Programs and Institutions, and spent his entire life working for Peace.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Ideas 1399 ~    10 to 11 May 1998

A reader from England whose father died in Auschwitz, wrote to me proposing that the United Nations institute an International Day of Repentance and Atonement, "as an annual event to be kept as a holy day by every nation to become united in the spiritual task of facing and teaching its children the truth about their history – the sins of the fathers – so that they may be fully understood by future generations. 

All our misdeeds economic, cultural, military, and those done in the names of religion should be truthfully shown, illustrated and explained in exhibitions in every town and country.  The need for atonement and restitution should be made clear."

I fully support that proposal.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
Look at life and Creation through clear and not dark glasses.  Light and cleanliness are the best qualities of the picture of life.  Be a great life-watcher.  It is as important, even more important than to be a bird-watcher and feeder.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Reverence the highest, have patience with the lowest.
Let this day's performance of the meanest duty be thy religion.

Are the stars too distant,
pick up the pebble that lies at thy feet,
and from it learn the all.
Margaret Fuller

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1397 ~    8 May 1998

Projects like the US Cassini spacecraft carrying 72.3 pounds of deadly plutonium 238, which might endanger the whole humanity when reentering the Earth's outer-space and orbiting around us, should be subject to the approval of the world community and not left to the sole decision of any one country. 

The central US government would not allow it either to any of its States. 

Why then the world? 

The United Nations should establish a high-level scientific council of the best world's scientists to evaluate, approve or prohibit such projects which can harm all humanity and the Earth
.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
One day in Geneva, Switzerland, as we went to the theater in the evening, we left the car parked on the side of a street.  Minutes later a taxi skidded into the vehicle, destroying a whole side of it.  My wife was very upset. 

I told her:  "Don't be upset.  Be happy that we were not in the car.  Be happy because we did not have an accident in ten years, and according to the law of great numbers we will sooner or later have one.  Well, we just had one and will in all likelihood be protected for a good while."

And so it was for more than thirty years.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1396 ~    7 May 1998

I think that it is mostly in the solitude of the night or at dawn that one can feel one's belonging to God, to nature, to the universe and to eternity. 

Once involved in the daily world of objects, noises, claims and obligations, one is diminished, reduced, dragged down by the agitated world, unless one takes refuge in nature. 

We must be concerned that with diminishing nature humanity's psyche might deteriorate as we go into the next millennium.

Ecologists should therefore not only study how other species can be saved in natural parks.  They should also study the effects on humanity of a diminishing nature.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1395 ~    6 May 1998

How can we not be excited to live at a time when there remain still so many exciting things to do and problems to be solved on this magnificent planet:
e.g. eliminate all wars
eliminate all injustices
eliminate all violence
eliminate all poverty
eliminate all unnecessary destruction of nature
etc. etc.

to create joy and happiness for all humans
to love and be excited by all living other species
to increase everywhere the beauty of our planet
to make it a true paradise for our descendants
those should be our dreams and objectives.
We should draw up a genial agenda of ideals in the new century.  How exciting this would be! 

If I were the Secretary General, I would draw up such an agenda with the input of all UN agencies and offer it to the community of nations as an ideal agenda to be adopted by the UN General Assembly 2000.

Tip of the Day:
Google has taken its 360-degree Street View cameras into some of the most famous and acclaimed galleries, opening the world's art collection to the internet. From the Tate Britain in London to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, you can now browse 385 rooms in 17 galleries, and see more than 1,000 works by 486 artists. Zoom in close enough, and you can see individual brushstrokes, hairline cracks in the canvas and microscopic details that are almost invisible to the naked eye. [ more ]


Be The Change:
Bring art into your day.
