[GMW #3864] The United States Of The World - Is Possible - For A Better World

[GMW #3864] The United States Of The World - Is Possible - For A Better World Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4259 ~
The United States of America is taken for granted today while a United States of the World is considered unthinkable, impossible. Well, let us be reminded that in 1787, when the representatives from the Colonies argued whether or not to write a common Constitution the following situation prevailed: troops under General Washington refused to pledge loyalty to the United States because they said, "Virginia is our country." Maryland and Virginia argued over oyster and crab harvesting rights in the Potomac River.

Nine states had their own navy. New York protected its fuel interests by putting a tariff on wood from Connecticut and its farmers by levying a tariff on New Jersey butter. Settlers from Connecticut were attacked by Pennsylvania's army for crossing its borders. Virginians objected to paying taxes to the union of states because, "that smells like parliament." Merchants in Philadelphia would not accept New Jersey's money.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 5 - The Miracle of Individual Life

I often feel that my life is a lamp: a temporary container filled with light, a flow of energy, condensed and held together for a while in a mysterious, marvelous living cosmos linked with the rest of the Earth and the heavens through material, touchable, and immaterial, invisible ties.  Someday the lamp will extinguish. The material elements will be reabsorbed and reborn by Mother Earth in her flows of life and energy.  The immaterial elements will return to a universal pool to be reborn in other forms on this planet or elsewhere in the universe.

My light will shine brightest, longest and happily if I take good care both of my material and immaterial forms, i.e. my body, my mind, my heart and my soul.
