Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1075 ~    20 June 1997

Yesterday I implemented idea 1049 by making available the following appeal to the members of the Extraordinary Session of the UN General Assembly in New York, held to review after five years the implementation of the recommendations of the Rio de Janeiro Conference on the environment:

Dear Esteemed Member,

After the world's concern for peace, humanism and economic development:
After the world's concern for the population explosion;
After the world's concern for the environment;
After the world's concern for the Earth's climate;
The new, even vaster concern is now how to save this planet and the human race by creating urgently

A PROPER EARTH GOVERNMENT

This is the absolute priority which faces us, the top item on the agenda of world affairs as we enter a new century and millennium.

I appeal to you, I beg you, Member of the UN Extraordinary Session, to adopt a resolution requesting an Initiative for URGENT PROPER EARTH GOVERNMENT.

This text was followed by my ideas 502 to 547 and 556 to 564.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1074 ~    19 June 1997

Benjamin Franklin, at a session of the Continental Congress trying to ratify the US Constitution rose to say: "Gentlemen, if a sparrow cannot fall on the ground without the knowledge of the Creator, how can we expect to give birth to a new nation without His assistance.  I propose therefore that we open each session with prayer."

This beautiful remark is relevant to all human affairs.  I therefore propose that every family meeting, every school class, every meeting of institutions, government, business and people will begin with prayer.  May the whole world follow the example of the yearly sessions of the United Nations General Assembly which open and end with a minute of silence for prayer or meditation.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Love is above all the natural or willful decision to experience the miraculous beauty of our immediate surroundings, of the Earth, the skies, the stars, the waters, the plants, the animals, the people, the universe and God. 

Love is the most powerful ally of the will to live the fullest possible life.

The International Association of University Presidents should take up the subject:
what are fundamental new preoccupations of the human society or subjects which have been neglected and should be reestablished as disciplines in Universities?

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1067 ~    12 June 1997

It is high time to create a new discipline or field in Universities which would include but go far beyond marketing and advertisement, namely the ways, strategy and methodology of influencing people psychologically. 

It should include the propaganda of dictators and the means employed by the rich and powerful to stay in power and in wealth. 

The media would occupy a high place in such a discipline which I would call psychocracy: power and government through psychology.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Create networks of love and common concerns to counteract the networks of evil, wealth, selfishness and power which should have no place on such as beautiful, miraculous planet as ours.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1058 ~    3 June 1997

I was thinking this the other day while waiting for the speech by Shimon Peres in the National Theater of Costa Rica on the peace process in the Middle East:

Conflicts, especially protracted ones, have often as their main reason to preserve and reinforce an identity.  This is definitely the case of the continued Israeli-Arab and Greek-Turkish Cypriot conflicts.  Religious fundamentalism is a determining factor.

As I proposed earlier in idea 59, if such conflicts last for more than 30 years, without solution, the rest of the world should ignore them, close the doors of the United Nations for further debates and withdraw the aid of the United Nations troops to separate the conflicting parties.

It reminded me of the following:

When I accompanied Secretary General Waldheim on a visit to China readmitted to the UN, when we were received by Premier Chou En Lai, Mr. Waldheim raised the question of the Middle East.  Chou En Lai expressed surprise and asked: "Why do you want to discuss the Middle East?

Waldheim answered: "Because it is important."

Chou En Lai: "You can forget about solving this conflict.  We will still have it in a hundred years."  This was in 1972.  A quarter of a century has already elapsed since then.

Another anecdote:

In 1964 I was sent to Cyprus as the political adviser of the United Nations troops to that conflict.  After witnessing for six months the hagglings between the Turkish and Greek Cypriots, I left saying that I and the United Nations were losing our time.  There just was no willingness whatsoever to come to agreement.  On the contrary, the encyclopedia of arguments was increasing incessantly.  That was a third of a century ago!

General Harbottle, not long before his death, told me that he had paid a visit to Cyprus and discovered that it is now the sons of the leaders of the two conflicting parties whom we knew in our time, who were arguing and discussing the same issues and arguments as their fathers!

Hence my proposal that the UN should close the door to such conflicts and let their stubborn leaders continue to love them and to thrive on them.  Except for the beauty of Cyprus and the nice populations on both sides, I have lost six months of my life in that country.  Journalists should no longer pay any attention to them either, because often the parties fight or resort to terrorism in order to get visibility, especially from the world press.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1062 ~    7 June 1997

We have learned of late to love the sky, the sun, the seas and oceans, the birds and all nature. 

Why should we not learn to love also our human brothers and sisters world-wide? 

Aren't we all children of the same Earth?  Are we not created in the image of God, a cosmic phenomenon of the first order?


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
There was only once on this planet a Ministry of Intelligence, a few years ago in Venezuela. 

Its Minister, Jose Machado, had studied all the philosophies of intelligence throughout history and concluded that love was the highest form of intelligence. 

His Ministry educated people by showing them on television how this form of intelligence manifested itself in the love between a mother and her child.

When will we see on this planet Ministries of Love, of Intelligence, of Faith, of Hope, of Optimism, of Happiness, and less Ministries of Industry, Technology, Economy, Finance and Trade and no longer any Ministries of War or Pentagons?

The most important lessons in life can never be expressed in black and white, but must be experienced. Experience is the greatest teacher. - Benny Lewis -


29 Lessons From Traveling the World

by Benny Lewis
Excerpts:
1. Everyone everywhere basically wants the same thing

Vastly different as the world’s cultures are, if you speak to Italian millionaires, homeless Brazilians, Dutch fishermen and Filipino computer programmers, in their own languages, you start to see that we are all incredibly alike where it matters.

Everyone just wants validation, love, security, enjoyment and hopes for a better future. The way they verbalise this and work towards it is where things branch off, but we all have the same basic desires. You can relate to everyone in the world if you look past the superficial things that separate you.

2. Deferring your happiness to the future is a terrible idea

3. “Someday my ship will come in” is BS. You will NEVER win the lottery. Be practical.

4. There’s no such thing as destiny. This is excellent news!

Destiny is used as a cop-out and standard excuse by most people for why they don’t do something with their lives. The thing is, it doesn’t exist.

Your limitations are not set by who you know, where you were born, what genes you have, how much money you have, how old you are right now, what you did before or other things that you can claim are your stamp of failure for life.

If you are determined enough there are many opportunities in life that are totally achievable with minimal cash, regardless of who you are.

5. Seek out people with different beliefs and views of the world to yours and get to know their side of the story

6. Living a good life is the best way possible to convince people

Enough words and enough arguing. Just live by example and soon you’ll have people on your side when they see your results and how passionate you are. No need to “convince” them. Just show them that you are there, tell them how you got there, and they will start to realise that maybe you aren’t that crazy after all.

7. Nobody has it all figured out
8. There’s no shame in saying “I don’t know”
10. Possessions own you
11. TV is the greatest black hole of time available to mankind
12. The Internet is the greatest tool ever available to us, but daily use must be capped
13. Get outside and do something with other people
14. Speaking only English is incredibly limiting to non-tourist travellers
15. Modern foreign culture does not have to satisfy your stereotypes
16. Take your time
17. You can’t please everyone
19. Make mistakes - and LOTS of them!
24. You don’t know what you’ve got ’till its gone
Don’t take anything for granted. I couldn’t afford to pay for accommodation one night and had to sleep outside on a rock because of it. Ever since then I appreciate having a bed, couch or hammock, no matter how small or where it may be, because I know what it’s like to not have one. One night was enough to burn it into me - I sigh a breath of relief every time I go to bed now.

I went partially deaf due to an ear infection for two weeks and appreciate my hearing and all the beautiful sounds around me all the more because I got it back.
25. Swallow your pride and apologise
27. People are not alone in being alone
28. Love isn’t “all” you need, but if you don’t have it in some form, your life will be very empty

29. The most important lessons in life can never be expressed in black and white, but must be experienced
