Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1491 ~    10 August 1998
The UN should also survey the hidden aspects of foreign "aid", henceforth to be called reparations:

the amount of that aid which the rich countries give to the poor countries in order to buy armaments or goods and services which are useless to them;

also the votes extorted from them in the United Nations and other international agencies. 

This is a whole field which requires investigation.

Knowledge is part of love, because one must know well what one loves.  To impart that knowledge, to educate, to communicate, is therefore a form of love.

WORD FOR THE DAY

God does not die on the day when we cease
to believe in a personal deity, but
we die on the day when our lives cease
to be illuminated by the steady radiance,
renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which
is beyond all reason.
- Dag Hammarskjold

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1490 ~    9 August 1998

Since evil always reappears under new forms, often more subtle, I recommend that the UN should submit each year to the General Assembly a report on early detection of new forms of evils and injustices, and often sheer robbery and exploitation of the defenseless.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Life is basically and simply a matter of love.  Love for life is the fundamental common ingredient of all recipes for happiness.

At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities. - Jean Houston -

5 Ways Laughter is Good For Health

Ever felt lighter after a good laugh? Physiologically speaking, that's no coincidence. Laughter is shown to increase blood flow, strengthen immune system, reduce muscle pain, lower blood sugar and shed calories. Along similar lines, singing or listening to music can improve the brain's auditory and language processing functions, and decrease insomnia, stress and stroke. Regular grounding practices like meditation or attending a religious service can reduce blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension. Cures can come in all shapes and sizes, sometimes as simple as a moment of laughter, song, or reflection. { read more }

Be The Change

Laugh, sing, meditate and feel all better.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1489 ~    8 August 1998

I recommend that the words foreign "aid" be abolished and be replaced by reparations. 

Indeed, what the rich countries "give" to the poor ones is only a trickle compared with the exploitation of these countries over the centuries and in new, more subtle forms today. 

Exploitation and reparations should become a serious subject of concern to the UN which should not accept so easily the concept of "aid".

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
I devoted rightly my first book ever to the subject of love in my French novel "Sima mon Amour", a love story unfolding in India and in the United Nations.

When I read it again, the tears come to my eyes. 

What an incredible love I have for this planet and for its people, a truly magical life and love affair for which I am so grateful to God. 

Love for the Earth and her magnificent nature and love for humanity starting with one's own life, love for our spouse, children and family are the greatest fountains of happiness on this planet, perhaps even in the  universe.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1488 ~    7 August 1998

If George Washington were alive today, he would replace the word states by national governments in his famous statement which would then read as follows:

"The primary cause of all disorders lies in the different national governments and the tenacity of that power which pervades the whole of their systems."

And he would work hard for the creation of the United States of the Earth.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
Some people like to live horizontally, close to their lives and to the Earth.

Others like to live vertically, in contact with God and the heavens.

I like to live radially, as a conscious positive center of the universe, capable of embracing infinity, eternity and our entire globe and humanity.

[RM Web 001] Robert Muller Interview - One Of Most Popular Pages On Robert's Website

Listen here:
http://www.robertmuller.org/interview/RMullerKPFK.mp3


Robert speaks of:
- how China became a member of the United Nations
- how the University For Peace in Costa Rica came to be
- reforming the United Nations to serve the entire world
- decide to be happy

Robert Muller Radio Interview
by Blase Bonpane, World Focus - KPFK 
Broadcast 30 October 2005

(Some excerpts.)
My sign for the world is: Humans - never loose your hope.

I am a positive and optimistic man. The religions are working together to make a world spirituality organization --- we will talk together …. study …. inspire each other to re-in-store a global spirituality.

How the University for Peace came into being.
All cooperations will unite in a global cooperative to preserve nature and humanity.

How China became a member of the United Nations.

How to reform the United Nations.

… We should have a second United Nations. …I will continue to fight for a basic reform of the United Nations. And if the United Nations is not reformed I will recommend that the European Union which has now so many countries from even outside of Europe that the European Union should become the World Union. And that the United Nations should be left aside in a secondary condition. We can not continue in that way. … reform … the countries can do it. There is no doubt about it.

…. One thing that always has been an impediment is that nobody during all these years intended to even speak about the reform of the UN. And this year for the first time all governments around the world have agreed that we should discuss the reform of the UN. So that is big . The wonderful ideas … can become discussable. …

We have to continue until it works. Humanity has lived so long in isolation from each other, in disrespect from each other, in wars against each other, religious wars, national wars.

It was a mess! … Second world war which cost 30 million people At long last they created a United Nations. They made it as weak as possible. But now the time has come where we must strengthen it.

And I continue to write my books. … re-publication of my book Most of All They Taught Me Happiness in which I show how happiness should be obtained in every country on earth.

Render others happy, proclaim your joy, Do not listen to promises, do not wait for a better world. … Switch on and keep on the positive buttons within yourself … meditative, smile, laugh, … dance … sing …

I will continue. I want to live as long as possible. … I will continue to do this in order to come forth with ideas and with the proclamation that we need a new type of world

World war II .. could have been avoided if there had been unity among nations.

I would bet and I have stated this time and again. There will never be a world war anymore on this planet. That is out.

They do not dare. Now it is at lower levels. It's inside countries and its in places like Iraq where the United States continues to give a life to the militaries. And that will disappear too. There is no doubt.

We can not afford wars and things of this sort. That is obsolete.

Let us make paradise earth.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1486 ~    5 August 1998

Humanity has won some great victories during its history:
it has won against slavery
    "            "    colonialism
    "            "    racism
    "            "    apartheid
    "            "    discrimination of women
    "            "    discrimination of indigenous people
Out of these victories, the last five were won under UN leadership.

I propose that we engage vigorous action on the following:
violence in all its forms
militarism
armaments
extreme poverty
Earth destruction
corruption
excessive materialism and overconsumption
religious fundamentalism
extreme national sovereignty
lack of ethics
I am sure that humanity can win all these victories within a few decades.

Nothing is impossible for the human species if it decides so.  And we have gained a lot of experience!

~ Idea 1485 ~    4 August 1998

The more I work on these 2000 ideas the more I am convinced that this would be a great method to solve many world problems: come up with concrete, progressive ideas in innumerable fields. 

I suggest that the UN and each of its 32 specialized agencies and world programs should have at least one official, if not a small unit attached to its Secretary or Director General to collect, encourage, develop and inspire ideas.  This would represent a network of 32 officials in the UN system producing at the highest level new, bold, much needed ideas. 

Perhaps some day idea persons will also become a new category of profession in employment statistics!

Restaurant Chain Displaced By Students

Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves -- and be free.

- Cesar Chavez -

Restaurant Chain Displaced By Students

When a 1,300-outlet fast-food chain announced plans to open a branch on the campus of the University of California Berkeley, a group of students protested. Given the nature of the city's resonance with local, seasonal and organic food, this wasn't a surprise. However, the students not only defeated the chain but also took their victory one step further by raising $100,000 to replace the fast-food joint with a student-run co-op carrying fresh, local, healthy, sustainable, and fairly produced food that would be sold at affordable prices. As if that weren't enough, the students have even started an organization to train students nationwide how to open their own campus food co-ops. { read more }

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1484 ~    3 August 1998

I wish that UNESCO or the International Labor Organization would begin to publish statistics of employment in peace service. 

I have signaled that there is only one world servant per 100,000 inhabitants of the planet, compared with 556 militaries. 

When I returned from the French Resistance after World War II my father asked me what I wanted to do with my life.
I answered: work for peace so that my children and grandchildren will not see the horrors I saw in this war. 
He shrugged his shoulders and said: "There are no peace jobs in this world.  You can forget it." 

Well, fate and a good essay on world government opened to me the doors of the United Nations and an entire adult life devoted to peace. 

I think the time has come to have more peace professions and jobs at all levels of society.  It should be a new category in world and national employment statistics.
