Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1338 ~
10 March 1998
From an evolutionary point of view, the attacks of the US against the UN and reduction of its role and means will be considered some day as one of the greatest errors and lacks of vision in world history. It seems that power went so much to the head of the US that it lost its sense of proportions and direction. Therefore the US will decline as a power as did all past powers which did not adapt to new fundamental trends of evolution. This happens on the eve of a new century and millennium when all countries, especially the best informed ones, should have the clearest possible mind, views and heart towards a future written in the stars.

I deeply mourn the fact that the US has lost its consciousness of the world's future and of its guiding role in it.

Forgiveness can also help to implement your decision "not to let anyone take away your happiness." Forgive the misguided people who hurt you and they will not be able to erode your happiness. On the contrary, love them.

WORD FOR THE DAY
My continuing passion is to part a curtain,
that invisible veil of indifference
that falls between us and
that blinds us to each others presence,
each other's wonder, each others human plight.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1337 ~
9 March 1998
When humans decide and are really determined to solve a problem, however intractable it may seem, they invariably succeed.

Thus, after two world wars nations decided to abolish international wars, creating the United Nations. They are very close to success after fifty years: there are almost no international wars left as we enter the next century and millennium. Only three remain: the Middle East, Cyprus and Kashmir. They are all three religious wars and are kept basically under lid.

Why not decide to solve all other forms of violence the same way, from religious and internal ethnic wars, to urban violence, street violence, family violence, media violence, etc. Governments could make the UN University for Peace a main world instrument for non-violence in all realms. Its name could be changed to UN University for Peace and Non-violence.

I hope that in the year 2000 and 2001 many debts of the poor countries will be forgiven. Thank God, it has begun to take place to some degree.

~ Idea 1336 ~
8 March 1998
In the spiritual Renaissance of humanity the views, precepts and practices of religions regarding nature, our home the Earth, its place and meaning in Creation and cosmic evolution must play a fundamental role for the safeguard of our planet and of humanity. The contributions of the indigenous religions in particular will be most valuable. The United Religions Organization must place this subject high on its agenda, when it is created, second only to the prohibition to all religions to resort to wars and violence.

God must be ready to forgive billions of times a day the sinning individuals of this planet. Otherwise God would end up being pretty lonely in paradise.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1335 ~
7 March 1998
We must absolutely lay down for the next century and all times the fundamental law that a human being is anterior and superior to the recently invented national being. They can therefore not be asked to kill another human being in the name of a nation nor of any other group. All conflicts on this planet must be resolved by peaceful means not through murders. That age must pass like slavery and apartheid.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
We commit sins often and are quick to forget them. But we have the memory of an elephant for the sins of others and are very slow to forgive them. This is not just. We must turn that around and begin to teach the right forgiveness to our children, the newcomers to the human family.

~ Idea 1334 ~
6 March 1998
From a Costa Rican newspaper I learn that two young men in England have launched a National Movement for the Renaissance of Optimism. They consider that there is no problem in the country that cannot be resolved with optimism. The same is true of world problems. Perhaps we need a World Movement for the Renewal of Optimism. Having been given the epithet of Chief Optimist in Residence at the UN I would be delighted to be a Board Member.

[GMW #2424] A Woman as UN Secretary General for the Interests of Humanity and Earth

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1333 ~
5 March 1998
Similarly, the question of the selection and election of the UN Secretary General should be reviewed in the new historical circumstances prevailing on the eve of a new century and millennium. The first Secretaries General were from neutral countries: Norway, Sweden, Burma and Austria. China, in view of its change of policy, ensured the election of a Latin American for two terms and thereafter of two Africans for one term each.

The following new approaches are relevant:

1. true global citizens should be considered for the position i.e. individuals who have the experience and passion for the interests of Humanity and of the Earth above the interests of nations;

2. after seven male Secretaries General a woman should be elected;

3. each candidate should make a declaration of their ideals and intentions during their mandate;

4. all members of the Security Council and of the General Assembly should be informed of the names and biographies of all candidates, to have at least an idea who is considered by the five Permanent Members of the Security Council.

In order to open up these questions I have written First Lady of the World in which a woman becomes Secretary General of the UN. I presented my own global candidacy and issued a declaration of intentions if elected (see pages 8 and 9 of the first 5000 ideas). At least the election of a woman Secretary General is now wide open. The next Secretary General will almost certainly be a woman.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
A simple but basic cosmic law: you forgive, thus improving the functioning of the planetary cosmos and the heavens. The recompense of the cosmos will be to forgive you too. Your forgivings will remain ingrained in the cosmos for all time.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1321 ~
21 February 1998
Why doesn't the International Association of University Presidents take up the subject of designing and creating truly universal, global Universities and not so many national Universities? And also create true Earth universities in which humanity would be part of the Earth processes and futures and no longer an evolutionary, dominant, currently adverse factor.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 12 - Of Forgiveness
I have worked for the United Nations more than fifty years. I wonder sometimes if I have given it all my care, love, mind and soul, as I should have.
Dear UN, I ask you for forgiveness.
