[GMW #2904] Adios Alcohol

[GMW #2904] Adios Alcohol

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3299 ~

Now, at my advanced age do I have any prospects of a still longer life?

Well, the following might help:

In May of 2000 I had a hernia operation which forced me for two weeks to eat little and to drink no alcohol whatsoever. Well, I was frequently drinking beer which is very popular in Costa Rica and being a Frenchman to have often wine with meals. After those two weeks I did not feel the slightest need for any alcoholic drink anymore and with my wife we decided to give it up completely. On the fourth of July, having American guests to celebrate the US national holiday, we made an exception and were sick the following day. Thus, alcohol (al kohol, Arabic the Devil) was eliminated for good from our lives.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life

Human life is a many-sided marvel. Our little cosmic unit reaches out into every possible direction: the past, the present, the future, the small, the infinitely large, the above and the below, the most immediate events, objects, persons, feelings and thoughts, and the entire planet and human family. We seem to contain the nuclei of the entire universe and time. And yet our little, intensively packed cosmos has difficulty to understand itself, the mystery of life, Creation and evolution! Could full self-knowledge be a built-in "limitation" of the infinite, eternal reality? Might Paradise Earth simply be to feel, to enjoy, to be happy, to let flow and not try to analyze and understand the miracle of life?

At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from
a single source.

When you are an artist,
you are a healer.

An Artist's Healing Project In Rwanda
Lily Yeh is a global artist who is fueled by a belief that art is a human right, and that artists can create a foundation for profound social change. This film documents the design, building and impact of the Rugerero Genocide Memorial, a project that brought hope and healing to the traumatized survivors of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The monument now serves as the official memorial site for the Rubavu district in Western Rwanda. "To truly honor the dead, we have to bring beauty and to remember them in that light." { read more }
