[GMW #3922] Write About Your Views Of The Future, The Attainment Of World Peace and Human Happiness

[GMW #3922] Write About Your Views Of The Future, The Attainment Of World Peace and Human Happiness Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4315 ~
A few years ago I delivered a speech which became an essay under the title A Copernican View of the Future. It was reproduced in a good number of publications.

Today I would rewrite it in the following way:
I.   A Copernican View of the Future and of our Place in Evolution
II.  The Attainment of World Peace and Human Happiness
III. The Miracle, Joy and Art of Individual Living.

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

Decide to be a Miracle

    Open yourself widely
        To God
        To the Universe
        To humanity
        To all your brethren and sisters
        To your  vast inner life.

    Open your mind
    Open your heart
    Open your soul
    Open all your being and senses
        To the greatness of Creation
        To the beauty of the Earth
        To the potential of the human race
        To the riches of your inner self

    And you will become the Universe
        You will become Creation
        You will become the Earth
        You will become humanity
        You will become infinity

        You will be at long last your real,
            divine, miraculous, intended self.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

[GMW #3145] To Make Positive Changes Rich Should Live Like The Poor For Six Months


[GMW #3145] To Make Positive Changes Rich Should Live Like The Poor For Six Months
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3545 ~
From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):

Every rich person in the rich countries who think that they are so great should go and live for three to six months in a poor country and live like the poor and then come home and do something about it.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
When I was a refugee student at a college in the city of Lyon, a famous professor of literature gave us to write an essay on "natural style". We all failed.

He then explained to us with a story what he expected: at the Court of Louis XIV there was a Marquis who, when he was invited to a Court reception, spent hours in front of a mirror to arrange the folds of his jabot - a large neck garment of lace. When he arrived at the Court, everybody exclaimed: Monsieur le Marquis, comme votre jabot est naturel", how natural your jabot is!"

It is the same with style.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ From ANNEX After Ideas 1001 - 1100 ~
16 July 1997 - Part 2

Ministries Of Peace - A Proposal By Generals For Peace Read the full article at this link:
http://goodmorning-world.blogspot.com/2012/06/ministries-of-peace-proposal-by.html

The Minister of Peace presents an overview of the past five years.  They dwell, with a certain wry humor yet also with understanding, on the difficulties that had lain in the way in the establishing a new Ministry which had been accorded a status somewhat higher than other departments in that the issue of peace occurs within every aspect of government.  The Minister therefore has the lead task of taking a holistic view and making clear how all aspects of government are interconnected.  Having made this clear beyond all dispute, other Ministers or Heads of Department are invited to make their individual presentations.  One interesting development has been the development of a departmental ethic, taking up the challenge of the World Parliament of Religions in 1993, urging the major professions to adopt their equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking

Two of the most important events in my life were circumstances when I had nothing to do.  In 1946, after the war I was once sitting in a very slow train without any passengers and without anything to do or to read, not even a newspaper or a book.  I then remembered the announcement at the University of Strasbourg of a prize offered by the United Nations Association of France to the student who would write the best essay on world government.  I thought that this was addressed to me, composed it in my mind and typed it when I arrived home.  It won the prize which opened to me the doors of the United Nations!

In 1964, during a UN conference in India, I was sitting in a bus to Agra in the evening, without lights, for several hours.  I remembered a beautiful Hindu girl dressed in a magnificent Saree I had seen at a Rest House where we had been served tea.  Having nothing to do, I dreamt that I interrupted my trip, stayed at the Rest House, fell in love with her and married her.  I wrote a novel, Sima, Mon Amour, (Sima, My Love), which was published and received a French literary prize and opened to me the doors as a writer.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 494 ~    16 November 1995

I owe my extraordinary career at the UN to the fact of having won an essay contest of the French United Nations Association in 1947 which earned me an internship at the United Nations and my recruitment as a permanent UN official in 1948.

This is so important to youth that I recommend the creation of an Internship Office at the United Nations which would promote internships in the UN and in all its specialized agencies and world programs.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing
Poetry is ultimate, concentrated knowledge in a form that touches the heart.  The world needs scientists and philosophers who are also poets.
