[GMW #2819] Creating America Rica - Alaska To Tierra del Fuego - Rich In Nature, Demilitarized, Oxygenized



[GMW #2819] Creating America Rica - Alaska To Tierra del Fuego - Rich In Nature, Demilitarized, Oxygenized  
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3214 ~  

It is good once in a while to travel from a not yet western 'civilized' country like Costa Rica to wrongly settled, over-consuming, over-transported, over-constructed, over-everything western denatured countries.

The Earth:
"Dear Robert, I'm so happy that you're saying that."

I:
Well, American visitors leaving Costa Rica should get at the airport a beautiful little poster to hang on a wall in their home:

"Remember Costa Rica.  Try to make the United States and all America from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego an America Rica, demilitarized, oxygenized and rich (rica) in nature.  This could be a beautiful plan of the US and of all American countries, North, Central and South, to fulfill the indigenous prophecy that the condor and the eagle will meet someday at a sacred place in Costa Rica."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude

Let us make our world a world of giving and thanking instead of wanting and complaining.

[GMW #2818] Cities With Fresh Clean Air Fit For People and Angles


[GMW #2818] Cities With Fresh Clean Air Fit For People and Angles
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3213 ~    Los Angeles, California

The Angels to God:
"Please dear Lord, do something to remove the name of Los Angeles from that overpopulated, polluted city in the United States.  As angels we have to protect that city, fly to it, help its poor people, but our angels' lungs are less resistant than those of humans.  For the inhabitants of that city one day of breathing the bad air is equivalent to smoking one to two packs of cigarettes.  For us angels it is much worse.  We simply cannot fly to that city any more."

God:
"I just do not know what to do.  There are so many big cities in the world from which I receive similar complaints: San Francisco in the US, San Jose in Costa Rica are examples."

The Devil, rubbing his hands:
"Ha, ha, I am beginning to win."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude
Life is a great miracle, a most beautiful gift, an incredible mystery.  Our planet is an even more magnificent wonder.  We must therefore be thankful and be in love with our Earth, with humanity, with all living beings, with the universe and with God and His angels.

[GMW #2817] Beautiful Islands Without Skyscrapers - With Gratitude & Counted Blessings Encourage God To Help


[GMW #2817] Beautiful Islands Without Skyscrapers - With Gratitude & Counted Blessings Encourage God To Help Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3212 ~    Honolulu, Hawaii

Why are there skyscrapers in Honolulu, one of the most beautiful islands in the world, a true jewel of nature in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?  It doesn't make sense.  But it makes sense to big businesses which all want to have their own skyscraper in every major city of the world, because it increases their capital, visibility and power.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude
As I was washing the windows of our little farmhouse, I was thinking:
"What would a Roman Emperor say if he saw those beautiful, flat, perfectly transparent window-panes, which are so common and cheap today, which the poorest people can afford?  He would not understand how such wonders can be made."  We of course take them for granted and seldom look at them with love and gratitude for letting light come into our homes.  For thousands of years scores of humans lived without them.  He would express the same astonishment at electricity, cooking stoves, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, television and radio.  He would not believe his eyes, and would exclaim: "You must be the happiest people who ever lived."

Alas, too many people would look at him, disgruntled, taking all these blessings for granted, and would come up with a long list of complaints.  He would not understand it.  I believe God does not understand it either.  This is why our troubles on Earth continue: since we do not have the gratitude to count our blessings, God is not encouraged to help us solve the new problems before us.

Dear reader, look for a few moments at the marvel of a windowpane, smile to it, give thanks for it and give it a little kiss.

Without deep reflection
one knows from daily life
that one exists for other people .
~ Albert Einstein

7 Billion Others
We share this planet with seven billion others. What is our relationship with them? Are we a single unity? Do we belong to one of many tribal divisions? Are we individuals in a planet full of individuality?

There is, of course, no single answer to these fundamental questions. Our sense of identity and diversity depends on context. But the way we conceive of our place among the people of the world has profound social, environmental, political, and ethical implications.

The GoodPlanet Foundation asked people from all over the world a series of standard questions about the things they value. The survey examines their hopes, dreams, fears, and grounding principles.

In bearing witness to the answers, the project allows us to explore the depth of our human commonality against the superficial visual and linguistic signs of difference.

These sound-bites provide points of connection between ourselves and others. { read more }

[GMW #2816] Increasing Unity - Increasing Diversity - Politically & Spiritually

[GMW #2816] Increasing Unity - Increasing Diversity - Politically & Spiritually Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3211 ~   

The same way as protozoas became metazoas, the many national groups of humans are now being transformed into a metahumanity endowed with a metabrain, a metanervous system, a metaheart and a metasoul.  This is our next phase of evolution.  We should help it.  Increasing unity among many is increasing diversity.  The Unity Churches, the Second and Third World Parliament of Religions and the United Religions Initiative are great examples in the field of spirituality following the example of the United Nations in the political field.  It was high time, given the protracted religious differences and conflicts still prevailing on Earth.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude
Humanity fully depends on the sun and on this Earth for life, hence the need to respect and thank our star and our planet, to cherish them, and see them as sacred.  And yet, we seem to have lost contact with them.  We sleep and no longer pray and give thanks when the sun rises.  We live in cities of stone and cement.  We watch television and hear radio instead of contemplating nature and listening to her beautiful sounds.  We should make daily offerings to the sun and to the Earth and say with the psalmists: "This is a good day to live, to glorify and to give thanks to God."

WORD FOR THE DAY
Extend the boundaries of the glowing kingdom of your love,
gradually including your family, your neighbors,
your community, your country, all countries
-- all living sentient creatures.

[GMW #2815] Earth Prefers Non-Tourism, No Tourism At All


[GMW #2815] Earth Prefers Non-Tourism, No Tourism At All  Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3210 ~   

Eco-tourism is to bring people into real, beautiful, natural, preserved areas, for example primeval forests in Costa Rica.  Edu-tourism is to educate tourists how they can love and take good care of their own ecology when they return home.

Business-tourism is to see penguins, geese, ducks and exotic fishes swim in ponds at skyscraper hotels.

The Earth:
"I would prefer non-tourism, no tourism at all.  Every human family should take good care of its natural environment and not take planes to distant places releasing huge quantities of carbon dioxide into my atmosphere.  Can you imagine what outer space inspectors visiting the Earth would say if they saw the incredible traveling around me destroying my airs?"

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude
What riches I can and do extract from the mere fact of being alive!  No wealth on Earth can ever match the worth of the miracle of life.  Hence the need to ceaselessly express our immense gratitude to God.

WORD FOR THE DAY
I personally believe that each of us was put here for a purpose
– to build not to destroy.
If I can make people smile,
then I have served my purpose for God.

[GMW #2814] Terra Pacifica - Aloha - May We Live In Peace



[GMW #2814] Terra Pacifica - Aloha - May We Live In Peace
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3209 ~   

I:
Dear Earth, 70 per cent of your surface is covered by seas and oceans, foremost among them the Pacific Ocean.  How would you feel if we called you Terra Pacifica, the Peaceful Earth?  It might be a good reminder to heads of states, militaries and violent people that wars and violence are a blemish to your heavenly beauty.  What do you think?

The Earth:
"This is an excellent idea.  Why don't you give the good example and use it in your letterheads and writings?  I like also the idea you brought back from Hawaii, the peaceful country in the middle of my Pacific, namely to end your letters with the word: Aloha, which means:  may we live in peace."

I:
Do you know what the traditional 'yours sincerely' means?

The Earth:
"No."

I:
It means yours without wax.

The Earth:
"That means nothing.  Where does it come from?"

I:
It comes from the Latin sine cera.  At each yearly competition of the sculptures of the Roman Empire inspectors went from statue to statue to check if there were any cracks covered with wax.  Only the sculptures reported to the Emperor to be sine cera, without wax were retained in the competition.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude
The most beautiful question a person can ask himself or herself is:
"How can I be of service to Creation and express my gratitude for the tremendous, miraculous gift of my life?"


The human being is such a wonderful, God-given instrument!
We can play on it the most moving and beautiful symphonies
or the saddest and most heartbreaking tragedies.
We must train ourselves to play on it joyfully, gratefully and justly
in order to contribute to the beauty, excellence and happiness of our magnificent planet Earth and make it Paradise Earth.
