[GMW #3672] Nation Must Learn To Relax, Celebrate Together And Create With Joy A Better World For Everyone - People and Nature


[GMW #3672] Nation Must Learn To Relax, Celebrate Together And Create With Joy A Better World For Everyone - People and Nature Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4067~
Nations are too tense. They should learn to relax, celebrate together and create with joy a new world order which will save and fulfill the Earth and the human species.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 5 -
Of Adulthood

This statement by Jose Figueres, the former President of Costa Rica who demilitarized his country in 1948 seems particularly appropriate to the adult age:

Have you ever stood on a mountain and watched the ocean?
Have you noticed that the higher you climb, the wider the horizon?

So also with humans.  To the degree we conquer ourselves, we can see farther across in the landscape of our lives.  Each person establishes his own horizon by his spiritual nature.

[GMW #2985] Dreaming A Beautiful Life


[GMW #2985] Dreaming A Beautiful Life
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3379 ~
Dear God, how much more must I still work at the age of seventy-seven
instead of enjoying the farm I acquired for my children and grandchildren in Costa Rica?

God:
"I only fulfilled your dream inscribed at the entrance of your farm cabin:

'I dream that someday I will live as an elder of the United Nations on a hill with a magnificent view and spend my remaining time writing the beautiful stories of my life and my dreams and ideas for a better world.'
It is here that Jose Figueres decided to demilitarize Costa Rica.
It is here that you helped create the first University for Peace on this planet.
It is here that the Earth Council, created by the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Conference on the Environment was established, as you wanted.
It is here that the first International Radio for Peace gives you a world voice.
It is here that you are writing your thousands of Ideas and Dreams for a Better World.

I only did what you dreamt."

I:
Thank you dear God for reminding me of it.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 6 I and Creation
A Sister wrote me:
"I am constantly in awe and amazement as to how God speaks to people. Each person is uniquely communicated with in their own particular way of understanding."

How right she is!

Each human being is a unique manifestation of the miracle of life, an expression of divinity, a co-worker of Creation in her marvelous endless living and changing forms.

The worker communicates with God through the work of his hands, the mother with her love for her family, the intellectual with the work of his mind, the monk and nun through prayer and contemplation.

There is not one, but a myriad of ways of communicating with God. And each is unique while being branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds of the same tree.

[GMW #2619] Send All Military, Generals, Presidents Of War, Home Never To Fight Again

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 3016 ~   

There is no reason, no sense whatsoever to maintain militaries and armaments which are true blemishes to our beautiful, miraculous Earth.  This is why Jose Figueres, a respected philosopher insurgent against a dictator, camping with his men in the tropical beauty of Costa Rica decided to send home his troops and those of the defeated dictator when he won, and demilitarized the country by constitution in 1948. 

All countries on Earth should do the same.  God bless him for his wise, memorable audacity.  This is why the UN University for Peace is located in Costa Rica.  And thanks be given to Oscar Arias, another Costa Rican President and Nobel Peace Prize winner who obtained the demilitarization of Panama and Haiti and seeks that of more countries.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter 2  Of Happiness
I believe in peace through joy, in harmony through happiness, in fulfillment of life through love.  I believe that a human person can find untold happiness amid the immense complexities of our daily life on our beautiful Paradise Earth in the vast universe.

[GMW #2369] An Annual Jose Figueres Demilitarization Prize from Costa Rica


Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1238 ~
30 November 1997
Since Costa Rica has been for years the most peaceful and most prosperous country in Central America, thanks to the genial decision of former President Jose Figueres to demilitarize the country by Constitution in 1949, I recommend that wealthy people of Costa Rica and sympathetic foreign philanthropists contribute to a fund which would give a yearly Jose Figueres Demilitarization Prize to the country which has demilitarized itself or made most progress towards demilitarization.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
Another surprise to me was U Thant, the Buddhist Secretary General whose direct aide I was for two years. He was the most deeply spiritual person I have ever known. He once said to me: "Robert, I cannot understand you Catholics who limit spirituality to an hour in church on Sunday. I am a spiritual person from the moment I wake up until I go to rest." One day I said to him: "When you receive visitors, why don't you tell them to do something for peace and a better world?" He answered: "How could I do that? These people come to see me to tell me something. I must therefore open myself to them, empty myself of my self, so that I can receive them entirely as a human brother or sister."

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 266 ~ 2 April 1995

In each government a Ministry of Happiness should be created as well as a World Commission or Department of Happiness at the United Nations to deal with this fundamental pursuit and rightful expectation of human beings.

The US Constitution includes the pursuit of happiness as the objective of government.
