[GMW #4044] Improve The Planet And Make It A Better Place To Live In

[GMW #4044] Improve The Planet And Make It A Better Place To Live In Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4437 ~
Some people tell me that they do not want to help save the planet, they want to improve it, and make it a better place to live in. They are right.

We have a good example here on our farm in Costa Rica: Francisco, our caretaker constantly wants to improve the farm, to beautify it by planting fruit trees to nourish birds, wild animals and the monkeys in the primeval forest and planting flower bushes which attract butterflies. He has transformed our finca into one of the most beautiful farms in the region. We are constantly surprised by the new improvements he introduces.

Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe

Decide to Aggrandize Yourself
    to the vastness of the universe
    to the greatness of God
    to the beauty of Creation
    to the genius of humanity
    to the magnificence of our planet   
    to the unique treasure you are.

    Aggrandize your mind
    Aggrandize your heart
    Aggrandize your soul

Extend all your senses
    to the stars in heaven
    to the beauty of the Earth
    to the potential of the human race
    to the infinity of your inner life.

And you will become the universe
    You will become Creation
    You will become humanity
    You will become infinity
    You will at long last be your real
        divine, miraculous self
        in total communion with all there is
        in heaven and on Paradise Earth.

Then you will contribute your peace and happiness
    to our miraculous humanity and well-preserved,
    heavenly planet in the universe.

[GMW #3259] Perfer Beautiful Heavenly Land With A Humble Antique Farmlet Than To Own A Big Skycraper


[GMW #3259] Prefer Beautiful Heavenly Land With A Humble Antique Farmlet Than To Own A Big Skyscraper Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3659 ~
I prefer our beautiful, uninhabited, tropical, primeval, heavenly land in Costa Rica with our humble, antique farmlet than to own a big skyscraper in one of the monstrous cities of the world. Thank you O God for having brought us to this blessed land.

[GMW #2903] Hours Of Sleep Before Midnight Count Twice



[GMW #2903] Hours Of Sleep Before Midnight Count Twice
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3298 ~   
Late in my life I learned another great lesson in Costa Rica: at my retirement from the UN I became volunteer Chancellor for one-dollar-a-year of the UN University for Peace in a magnificent, natural, primeval wonderland.  I bought an old farmhouse and farmland adjacent to the university.  There we have cows, a magnificent turkey, a flock of chickens and monkeys in the primeval woods.  In order not to be eaten in the night by coyotes coming from the woods the hens and the cocks fly up on top of trees near the farmhouse.  The roosters begin to sing the resurrection of the day at four o'clock in the morning dialoguing with cocks in the valley.  In order to get enough sleep Barbara and I decided to go to bed early, not later than 7:00 to 8:00pm.  As a result we wake up with the cocks having had eight to nine hours of sleep and you cannot imagine how much work you can do between 4:00am and 8:00am before getting involved in daily affairs.

We also decided to have a siesta each day after luncheon because a total of eight hours from 4:00am to midday is almost equivalent to a whole working day.

What we did confirmed an old popular saying: hours of sleep before midnight count twice.

Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
From a reader:
"Your book Most of All, They Taught Me Happiness puzzles me more and more.  Every evening I read or reread a chapter and each time I discover a new truth.  I now find myself being grateful for every day of my life and thanking God for that extraordinarily precious gift.  I had never done this before.  I have learned more from your book than from my Ph.D. in philosophy."

[GMW #2495] Primeval Forest Conservation - Oxygen By The Poor For The Rich



[GMW #2495] Primeval Forest Conservation - Oxygen By The Poor For The Rich    
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1100 ~
15 July 1997

My idea 620 has received the beginning of a modest implementation: during his recent visit to Costa Rica, President Clinton offered US aid for the conservation of primeval forests in that country.  It is a program which could be called, "oxygen by the poor for the rich".  As a result the Costa Rican Parliament is now considering a legislation which would give 10,000 colones (about forty dollars) per hectare (2.5 acres) of primeval forests which are conserved by private owners.  A good little first step.

I will repeat and repeat with all my mind, heart and soul what I have to say again and again until nations and all institutions on Earth will work harder for the good of all humanity and of the Earth.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1026 ~
2 May 1997

An idea of Barbara Gaughen as we walked through the marvelous primeval forests of our Mt. Rasur peace park next to the University for Peace in Costa Rica: why not offer it as the site of the first World Ecological Exposition?

[And why not make this the first all World Video Nature & Ecological Exposition - from films submitted on YouTube throughout the year and edited into at least one 58 program each year for public access TV to broadcast to the world.

This way people do not fly in polluting aircraft and can spend the money they would use to travel on celebrating nature and ecology where they live.- Easy]

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
In my whole life I have never delivered a single speech written by someone else.
And when I was writing speeches for the Secretary-General of the UN, my happiest day was when U Thant said to me:  "Robert, you have given me back my love for my work.  Again, I have pleasure to write and give my own speeches.  Here is the text you prepared for me.  I have rewritten more than half of it.  I hope you will  not object."  I embraced him instead.
