Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1511 ~
30 August 1998

Sometimes when I do something with my hands, I say: "It is not going to work, it will fall, it will break." And indeed it does. I then exclaim: "Well, I knew it, I was right."

But in the back of my mind lingers the thought: "If I had held it better and been more careful and optimistic, it would not have fallen and broken." And I conclude that it was to a large extent my own fault.

Well, the same applies to social relations and to humanity. We all too often say: "It will not work." When writing these 2000 ideas I changed my attitude and said: "It will work. I and other people will make it work." As a result I never give up and the spirits of the universe visit me in the night and show me the ways.

As Immanuel Kant said:

"It will be proved, I know not when or where, that the human soul stands even in this life in indissoluble connection with all immaterial natures in the spirit world, that it reciprocally acts upon these and receives impressions and help from them."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
Our planet is so small and part of such a tiny solar system among trillions of solar systems of a small galaxy among trillions of galaxies of a cluster of galaxies among trillions of super-galaxies, that our efforts to understand Creation resemble those of a flea trying to understand the whole planet Earth!  And yet, we are doing it!

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1510 ~
29 August 1998

We must deeply rethink our world's and humanity's future. It would be good to remember the fathers of the US Constitution who believed that the function of good government was "to effect the greatest happiness of the greatest number of citizens and to effect harmony between the public and private interests." Today they would add harmony with the Earth and a world-wide dimension to the attaining of happiness.

I recommend that the thinkers and leaders of this world return to that down-to-Earth, common sense but correct philosophy of the founders of the United States. It has always been my philosophy too and earned me the nickname of "philosopher of the United Nations" which I must continue to merit.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
We should be ready to report at any time to a celestial inspection team.  I hope the United Nations will someday publish a yearly report to the Universe, and the religions yearly reports to God or the gods.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1509 ~
28 August 1998

In Idea 20 I proposed that the demilitarized countries should create a world association and a group of demilitarized countries at the United Nations. I would like to amend that proposal and change its name to: world association and group of demilitarized, demilitarizing and countries interested in demilitarization. The latter would learn from the former, be encouraged to go ahead, and would see the benefits of demilitarization and also how certain obstacles and adverse situations can be overcome and satisfactorily resolved.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
And how could it be otherwise, since we are energy, matter and soul of the universe which has passed through many starforms before our present planetary incarnation?  Hence the instinct of our divine or cosmic origin and our longings for the heavens and prayers to God.  In each of us is all the past experience of the universe, of all past life forms and all our ancestors.  You can therefore best learn the meaning of life by looking deeply into yourself.

WORD FOR THE DAY
A lifetime may not be long enough to attune ourselves
fully to the harmony of the universe. But just to
become aware that we can resonate with it
- that alone can be like waking up from a dream.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1508 ~
27 August 1998

Darwin's theory of competition for survival of the fittest was right in the past. Today it must be changed to cooperation for the survival of the Earth and humanity and for the continuation of evolution.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
In the vast universe, we humans are true kings, almost Gods.  We know so much, feel so much, dream so much, query so much, discover so much.  We will not rest until we see, know, feel and understand all there is in the heavens and on Earth.  We unquestionably are of a cosmic nature.  We want to reach the outer expanses of the universe.  We are a transcending species capable of lifting itself beyond its capacities and senses by a universal urge.  We are stupendous little nebulas of life on a tiny, solid, watery, warm planet, trying to reach out for the stars and the outer limits of heaven.  What a prodigious species we are!  What an exciting adventure it is to be human!  What a teeming laboratory, what a palace full of treasures our planet is in the vast universe!

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1507 ~
26 August 1998

Readers might exclaim when reading these 2000 ideas: "Why so many of them? Are they really necessary? I am getting tired of them."

Well, just think for a moment of the tens of thousands of ideas which are being produced around the clock and the world every day by government officials to promote their government, to levy more taxes, to start new projects, to spread their national influence in the world; and how many are produced by businessmen, builders, architects, engineers, marketing experts, advertisers, etc. to promote their professions and businesses. This is what national schools, business schools and Universities teach and prepare their students for. Think of the thousands of humans flocking every morning into the skyscrapers of big cities to do only that!

And who asks and prepares people to come up with ideas for a better world and a happier, more fulfilled humanity? Almost no one. My 2000 ideas are a mere drop of water into what must become a world wave of proposals.

Please, dear reader, begin to write down your ideas for peace, cooperation, a better world, a happier humanity, and to prevent the destruction of our beautiful home, planet Earth. Apply these goals to your profession and you will see wonders happen, as I did with my innumerable, incessant ideas during my forty years in the United Nations and now as Chancellor of the first World Peace University in demilitarized Costa Rica.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
According to one of the most ancient peoples of this planet, the Yanomami people of Brazil, keepers of the memory of Creation, the role of humans is to protect the continuity of life in our solar system.  In order to do that we must all be "lamps of concordant tension".

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1506 ~
25 August 1998

The non-saving of the astronomic sums spent by 170 of 185 nations on militaries and armaments must be considered one of the main evolutionary aberrations in human history. These sums must urgently be transferred to the salvation of the Earth and the continuance of our evolution.

All national security systems must be replaced by a world security system the plans of which have existed since World War II but were not implemented because of the cold war. That obstacle is now removed. It must become the priority one item on the UN's agenda.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
We take our sun and Earth for granted.  And yet, they are incredible, mystery-filled, mind-boggling phenomena in the universe.  We should be in endless awe and admiration before them, in communion with them.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1505 ~
 24 August 1998

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December this year, we absolutely must begin to speak of fundamental human rights to a clean air, to pure water, to unpolluted cities, to a non-violent society, to a disarmed, denuclearized and demilitarized planet, to a well preserved Earth, to a rational use and conservation of nature and its resources. It is not too early, it is most urgent to proclaim these rights.

Beyond human rights, duties and responsibilities, I recommend that the UN should open up an entirely new chapter of work and international conferences on imperatives of the 21st century and millennium. If I were Secretary General I would create a new UN Department of Earth Imperatives and Urgencies.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
We should not see the Earth as separate from the sun.  We should see the sun, the Earth and all teeming, evolving life forms on our planet as one interdependent whole, as a Sun-Earth reality.
