[GMW #3154] Identifying Limitations & Ideals & Dreams


[GMW #3154] Identifying Limitations & Ideals & Dreams
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3554 ~
Barbara feels that all human ideals, dreams and institutions should establish a list of their limitations. The United Nations should be the first to do it. Here is the beginning of such a list:

- the veto power of five of the 189 nations
- no taxing power
- no borrowing power
- no legislative power
- no enforcement power
- no people's representation
- no supreme court jurisdiction
- no freedom of initiative
etc.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
It was wonderful to receive the following letter from a reader:

"I enjoyed your book, Most Of All They Taught Me Happiness, immensely.

I read every word, each phrase avidly, slowly so as to savor all nuances unfolding in the narrative. This is to confess that I was held captive to your book the moment I started reading it.

From the gentle, delicate anecdote about "Grethel" to that stirring testament of love, truth and honesty that is the final "Epilogue", it was just one beautiful, moving exciting reading experience!

I found myself reading the last pages of the book `out loud', there on my front terrace, for all to hear! My good, understanding neighbors interpreted this sudden euphoric outburst to mean that I had `turned the corner', that final recovery was in sight, that I was in fact, cured. And such I felt, indeed, from that time on. The doctor pronounced me fit for work and released me not too long afterward.

Now that is proof positive that your good book did much to speed my complete recovery.

Thank you, Mr. Muller, for writing the book.
Thank you, dear God, for having me run into you that fateful day."

Such a comment made my life and writing worthwhile. I am so grateful that his 1978 classic has now been republished by Amare Media, www.amaremedia.com.
