Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 326 ~    1 June 1995

Who on Earth will publish the first newspaper which will have only good news, or good news in the first pages, neutral, factual news and information in the middle, and bad news in the last? 

Could not all the media of the world adopt such presentation and thus contribute to a better, happier, more peaceful, hopeful human society? 

Does a family wake up and speak only about bad news?  Why should the entire human family do it and start every morning with depressing news?

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing
When others read me, they must feel that I have written for them. 

Even when I write for myself, I am writing for all my human brothers and sisters. 

Human nature, the mystery of life are our common family values.  When I feel deeply, I feel for all the members of the family.

~ Idea 325 ~    31 May 1995

Not only should elections in all countries take place in the same year in all countries, but there should be basically the same electoral laws everywhere.  It would be fascinating to look into this.

Writing is also to be with others.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 322 ~    28 May 1995

Since the political world, including the positions of heads of states are overwhelmingly occupied by males, not only do I recommend that a woman be elected Secretary-General of the UN but also that the few women heads of states and the wives of male heads of states create a world association of first ladies to work together on a large variety of issues and tell the world their vision of the future.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing

Don't be only consumers. 

Don't read newspapers, magazines and books or watch television most of the time. 
Produce something. 

Write down your own thoughts, feelings, memories and dreams. 
It will validate, enrich your life immensely, make you feel great and give you happiness beyond belief.

What is Goodness?

by Rabindranath Tagore
The question will be asked, "What is goodness?  What does our moral nature mean?"  My answer is that when a man begins to have an extended vision of his self, when he realizes that he is much more than at present he seems to be, he begins to get conscious of his moral nature.  Then he grows aware of that which he is yet to be, and the state not yet experienced by him becomes more real than that under his direct experience.

Necessarily, his perspective of life changes, and his will takes the place of his wishes.  For will is the supreme wish of the larger life, the life whose greater portion is out of our present reach, most of whose objects are not before our sight.

Then comes the conflict of our lesser man with our greater man, of our wishes with our will, of the desire for things affecting our sense with the purpose that is within our heart.  Then we begin to distinguish between what we immediately desire and what is good.  For good is that which is desirable for our greater self.  Thus, the sense of goodness comes out of a truer view of our life, which is connected view of the wholeness of the field of life, and which takes into account not only what is present before us but what is not, and perhaps never humanly can be.

--Rabindranath Tagore, in Sadhana

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 320 ~    26 May 1995

I seldom hear a speech in the United Nations or in the political world speaking of love.  This is a major blemish of our time, for love is a major factor of peace, goodness, generosity and forgiveness. 

I recommend that no speech on this planet be delivered without the word and motivation of love.  It should be a rule for all speech writers of Presidents and other political personalities.  They could follow the good example of our indigenous brethren who place a talking stick in front of them to remind them that they must speak from the heart.  I use one.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing

To write and to speak are primarily an observation, deepening and expansion of life, a two-way process of learning, teaching, communicating, and contributing to human progress and fulfillment.

Therefore, do not become a writer or a speaker for writing's or speaking's sake and fame, but as a means of fulfilling yourself and bringing happiness, joy, and goodness to your human brothers and sisters on our miraculous, to be cherished and well-preserved planet Earth to become Paradise Earth.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 319 ~    25 May 1995

We must not forget the important historical role played by the nation-state to get us out of the tribal situation and warfares in which humanity lived so long. 

But nations must have no illusions: they cannot survive if they cling to their obsolete belief in national sovereignty which is contrary to our henceforth global and planetary requirements. 

If they want to survive, they must create new communities and forms of world cooperation, and strengthen immensely the universal United Nations. 

A true quantum leap is needed at this point of our evolution.  If not we will see much more disasters, waste, crises and human despair on this planet. 

May God inspire leaders of nations to make the drastic necessary quantum leaps into the third millennium, eliminating incredible errors, wastes and dangers to this planet.

From the nation-state we must now move to regional unions on the model of the European Union and to a well-conceived, well organized World Union.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 323 ~    29 May 1995

A decade ago, during a visit in Kansas City, I learned that the city considered itself to be the heart of America.  They wondered how this could be better known.  I suggested that they plant a forest of trees in the form of a big heart near the airport, visible from the sky.

Ten years later when I returned to the city, I was shown the Heartforest which expands each year thanks to additional rows of trees planted by children on each Earth Day.

My dream is that many heart forests will be grown in many places of the world, thereby expressing our love for trees and for our beautiful planet.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume III Chapter I - The Span Of Life
I repeat these words by Goethe which so well apply when you have decided to be a good-doer on Earth.  They applied fully to my life.  I could give innumerable examples of them, write a whole book on them.
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning acts of initiative and creation there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:

That the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamt would come their way.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Begin it now.
- Goethe

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

    ~ Idea 324 ~    30 May 1995

In my Peace Park on Mt. Rasur, overlooking the University for Peace I have a bench of dreams where I ask visitors to sit, close their eyes and formulate a dream.  Following a rite which was taught to me by a girl from Holland, Mara van der Lugt, one takes a pebble or stone in each hand, presses the two hands together, closes one's eyes and dreams intensely.  When opening the eyes one throws one stone on the Earth, so that the sacred earth will remember the dream, and the other stone one takes home to be reminded of the dream.  I wish that benches of dreams be built in many places on Earth.

Humanity and the Earth badly need our dreams.  (See Ideas 729 and 749.)
Note:
By 1997 about two dozen have been built around the world.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 318 ~    24 May 1995

A world center should be created to study all regional communities recently created or in formation on this planet. 

They are growing in numbers, impact and importance.  The European Union is the most important one, but there are several others like the Arctic Forum created by Governor Walter Hickel, which can serve as a model for other vital bioregions of this planet. 

Such a Center would collect systematic information on these nascent communities and submit a yearly report to the United Nations, since this is a major, very hopeful innovation in the global government of our planet.
