[GMW #4016] Governments Servants Of All People & Nature Not Only Of The Corporations


[GMW #4016] Governments Servants Of All People & Nature Not Only Of The Corporations Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4409 ~
A few remarks concerning our current society: Privatization? Yes, by whom? By the rich corporations and by the wealthy.

Now we have capital colonialism, the latest, vastly, most intelligently, celebrated subtly advertised colonialism. Now in our time the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and more and more unprotected.

Some governments have become the servants of the wealthy and of corporations, not of the increasing number of the poor.

The Earth: "Dear Robert, I fully, enthusiastically agree."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe

Not a single encyclopedia on Earth presents our total knowledge within the two most obvious and logical frameworks which impose themselves upon us so glaringly, namely:
- the total universe, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small, and
- total time, from the infinite past to the infinite future.

The editors of the world's great encyclopedias should meet and agree on that new common table of contents of human search and knowledge.

WORD FOR THE DAY
There is a spirit that pervades everything, that is capable of powerful song and radiant movement, and that moves in and out of the mind. The colors of this spirit are multitudinous, a glowing, pulsing rainbow.

[GMW #2873] Super Wealthy Devote Attention, Efforts & Resources To Salvation Of Earth & Humanity



[GMW #2873] Super Wealthy Devote Attention, Efforts & Resources To Salvation Of Earth & Humanity
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3268 ~
All the super wealthy and wealthy people who have personal or family archives, museums and art collections should consider henceforth that this Earth and humanity might come to an end in the third millennium and that their memorabilia and possessions will float on a dead planet, valueless except as a curiosity for outer space visitors.

Why not therefore devote your attention, efforts and resources to the salvation of the Earth and of humanity.  This would permit your memorabilia to survive for thousands of years to come.  Please visualize and work for a date far in the future on which you would still like to see humans visit your collections and study and use your archives.

[GMW #2707] Ask Indigenous People To Value Nature With Their Prophecies & Opinions


[GMW #2707] Ask Indigenous People To Value Nature With Their Prophecies & Opinions Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3100 ~
Dear Earth,
You will be happy to hear that a group of ecologists, economists and geographers from twelve prestigious universities in three countries have come up with the value of the products of your nature: they estimate it at thirty-three trillion dollars a year, possibly as high as fifty-four trillion dollars while the total economic output by humans is only eighteen trillion dollars a year.  That means that while the average benefits per human on Earth from human activity is only three thousand dollars a year, the benefits from nature could be as high as nine thousand dollars.  Aren't you happy to hear that?

The Earth:
"Yes, I'm delighted that at long last someone has done that.  Could you ask the same people to go a step further and calculate the value of the total capital I represent and how that capital is diminishing each year as a result of destruction by humans while they rejoice at the increase of the capital in their banks, stock markets and safes?

They will make strange faces in their wealthy, arrogant skyscrapers when there will be no longer any clear air to breathe, clean water to drink and proper climates for humans to live in. 

Why instead of listening to economists and scientists don't you ask for the opinions, views, advice and prophecies of the indigenous people who are closest and most intimate with me?  They do not need to give dollar values to my natural products and to my nature.  It is funny to hear now that my nature is being evaluated in trillions of US dollars, one of humans' dismallest inventions!"

Robert Muller

Volume II Chapter 2 Of Happiness
There are only two ways to live your life. 
One is as though nothing is a miracle. 
The other is as though everything is a miracle.

No matter how much wealth you have,
if you do not have the treasure of virtue,
it is of no use'.

The true riches is the
ever increasing spring of love
from which all virtues come.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1092 ~ 7 July 1997
Whenever I see an unnecessary waste in a hotel, result of the marketing by the producers, I leave a note to the manager suggesting that they put an end to the waste. The big, wealthy hotels are the worst. It is part of their show-off techniques. We should cease to admire them, avoid them and prefer simple, small hotels, bed-and-breakfasts.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Love is a supreme way of being connected and aggrandized. By loving God, the planet, the universe, my wife, my children, nature, I gain the optimum consciousness of the subjects of my love. Hatred on the contrary is a supreme disconnection: it rejects, denies, cuts off the entity or subject. Hating is like cutting the light of life, the nature of life.
