[GMW #3045] Meditation Room To Convey Humans Are Cosmic Living Heavenly Beings


[GMW #3045] Meditation Room To Convey Humans Are Cosmic Living Heavenly Beings
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3439 ~

The United Nations Meditation Room, conceived by Dag Hammarskjold is incomplete in my view.

It shows a ray of light beaming in obscurity from the ceiling of the room on the top of a high, rectangular block of fine iron ore he imported from Sweden, his country of origin.

Its symbol is that this iron block was created by the energy of the cosmos. It is part of the cosmos as is all matter of the Earth. He considered himself to have come from Sweden as a hard, rational economist and was transformed by the United Nations into a mystic. This iron ore block was shown floating in the universe in a famous film by Stanley Kubrik: Space Odyssey 2000.

The change that I would introduce is that after a while the ray should fall on the head of the meditating person to convey to him or her that the human being is a cosmic reality too: we are born from the Earth which is all born from the cosmos, hence we are all cosmic, living, heavenly beings, the most advanced of all on this particular planet.

Such a realization can change our life and the entire human society and its relations with the Earth and with the heavens.

The great founders of religions were not wrong. This was the message of all of them. Most of them gave it the name God. A United Religions has now been created to bring back spirituality, the belief of humans in their heavenly cosmic nature, origin and role.

Sanskrit means: divine language. Dewanagara, the script in which it is embodied, means "the city of God" (Dewa: God, nagara: city). All languages are divine, cosmic expressions and communications of the phenomenon and mystery of life evolving from cosmic forces.

6 Mindfulness Practices For Leaders
(And Everyone, Really)

As Jon Kabat-Zinn puts it, mindfulness "wakes us up to the fact that our lives unfold only in moments." If we're not fully present for those moments, we may miss what's most valuable in our lives, both personally and professionally. Simply put, mindfulness is about not living in your head all the time and is about paying attention to where you are, what you're doing, or who you're talking to so that you are in touch with the right here, right now. Research shows that mindfulness reduces stress and increases concentration and clarity. Read on for five simple ways to practice mindfulness to improve your personal and professional life. { read more }


Be The Change

Establish mindfulness triggers in your daily routine so you can regularly take time to reconnect to the here and now. You could decide to take a moment of silence before each meal to reconnect to and savor the present. Or, you could decide that when the phone rings you will put everything aside and be fully present to the person on the other line. You could also use a desktop mindfulness app to remind you to take a 60 second mindful breathing break every hour during your work day. Find something that works for you!

[GMW #3044] Remembrance Of Fifty Years Ago - People & Prices


[GMW #3044] Remembrance Of Fifty Years Ago - People & Prices
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3438 ~

A remembrance by Ambassador Hoveyda from Iran: when he came to New York in 1949 as a young diplomat of the Iranian Mission to the UN he was utterly astonished that the price of a barrel of petroleum exported by his country was that of a hamburger! Well, fifty years later, in 2000 the head of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, on the occasion of a price increase of petroleum made this comparison: the price of a barrel of petroleum (159 liters) is twenty-six dollars while a barrel of Coca Cola costs seventy-eight dollars and a barrel of cognac $7,800.

WORD FOR THE DAY

Someday, after we have mastered
the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity,
we shall harness for God the energies of love.

Then for the second time in the history of the world,
we will have discovered fire.

~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

[GMW #3043] Memories And Thanking God



[GMW #3043] Memories And Thanking God
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3437 ~

My brother-in-law in Strasbourg who is in his seventies has lost a good part of his memory, except how he passed the test necessary to give him his job as an engineer in the French railroads, how he met my sister, and war stories how the Germans attacked their village at the border in the North of France, how the family had to move out and became refugees. When they returned at war's end they found the house completely destroyed. His father, forty-five years old, an artisan, died three weeks later on a mattress in the cellar. They didn't have a single bed left.

He ends these memories thanking God for having given him a good family, a good job and children who are doing well.

His memories struck my mind: my main memories are the same: war memories, how I got my job at the United Nations and how I met my life companion. And my same thanks go to God.

What are yours?

WORD FOR THE DAY

You do not need to know precisely what is happening,
or exactly where it is all going.

What you need is to recognize
the possibilities and challenges
offered by the present moment, and to
embrace them with courage, faith, and hope.

~ Thomas Merton

[GMW #3042] Launch An Anti-Poverty, Pro-Nature, Art And Beauty Program World Wide


[GMW #3042] Launch An Anti-Poverty, Pro-Nature, Art And Beauty Program World Wide
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3436 ~

The simplest way to solve the problem of unemployment in any country is to suppress the army, military training and armaments expenditures and launch an anti-poverty, pro-nature, art, and beauty program with the totality of the money saved.

Indeed, why does it take a war or a menace of war to produce jobs and resources to keep the economy floating or 'improving'? This can be achieved by implementing the articles of the UN Charter calling for a central world security system which would put an end to the need of army and defense expenditures in 170 not yet demilitarized countries.

WORD FOR THE DAY

You cannot get through a single day
without having an impact on the world around you.

What you do makes a difference, and
you have to decide what kind of difference
you want to make.

We must now see a fundamental Earthshake against an outdated fundamentalist capitalism which must take into account the new evolutionary phase of our human inhabited planet, namely the Earth preservation and salvation phase.
