Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1174 ~ 27 September 1997
It is quite possible that at one point in the 21st century the poor people of the poor countries will be better off than Westerners when the present political and economic system will collapse: they will be able to survive on their chickens and eggs, on their cowmilk and self-cultivated products, whereas the unemployed Westerners in their big cities, loaded with bills and debts will not be able to survive. Wise are those who today move already to the countryside or to a poor country and start a self-sustaining farm.

Simplicity of living means meeting life face to face. It means confronting life clearly, without unnecessary distractions. It means being direct and honest in relationships of all kinds. It means taking life as it is.

- Duane Elgin -

The Spiritual Wisdom of Simplicity

The wisdom of simplicity is a theme with deep roots. The great value and benefits of living simply are found in all of the world's major wisdom traditions. Jesus taught by word and example that we should not make the acquisition of material possessions our primary aim. Eastern spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism have also encouraged a life of material moderation and spiritual abundance. The Greeks, Puritans, and Quakers all placed a similar emphasis. As well, the Transcendentalists, whose thinking is best exemplified by the lives and writing of Emerson and Thoreau. The simple life is not a new social invention -- what is new is the urgent need to respond to the radically changing material and ecological circumstances in which humanity finds itself in the modern world. Duane Elgin, author of the classic, "Voluntary Simplicity," shares further. { read more }

Be The Change

Take an additional step toward voluntary simplicity today, both internally and externally.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1134 ~ 18 August 1997
One idea worth looking into: since the United Nations, i.e. the Organization to care for the whole humanity and world is not allowed to borrow money and to contract loans, why not apply the same rule to all government, from national to state and local governments. A non-indebted world would be the happy result.

[GMW #2165] Proper Earth Government Providing Common Economical World Services Replacing National Duplications

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500

    ~ Idea 1408 ~    19 May 1998

There is so much waste, duplication and indebtedness of national public expenditures of 185 nations – military expenditures being the worst of them – that the right to tax citizens should be challenged by the Peoples' Assembly 2000. 

In a proper Earth government, there would be a tax and financial system under which common, economical world services would replace many 185 national duplications. 

A foremost example: the creation of a world security system which would dispense with the 171 national armies of today which each year cost the citizens a trillion dollars.  What fantastic good could be done with such savings!  We could have world engineering projects, financed in common instead of doing the same thing in several nations.  They would bring in huge economies of scale. 

Under it would be a system of financing bioregional services for the seas and oceans, river basins, mountain areas, common water resources, etc.

Then would come proper continental financing responding to the needs, common services and institutions for each continent.

Then would come national financing;

Then would come provincial or state financing

Then would come cities and local communities financing.

What would be wrong with such a system?  It would give marvelous results and would permit us to solve most urgent problems.  We need it absolutely for the 21st century.  A World Commission or a UN Commission should be established to work it out.

The early Fiscal and Financial Commission of the UN Economic and Social Council should be re-established to do such work and study the tax systems of nations, and avoid international tax evasion. 

Having worked as a young man in the UN Fiscal and Financial Branch which serviced that commission I would be happy to make my contribution to a central fiscal and financial task force for our planet.

WORD FOR THE DAY

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives,
so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt,
that peace and abundance may manifest for all.
