[GMW #4561] Think Constantly Of A Better Future For Humanity & Nature

[GMW #4561] Think Constantly Of A Better Future For Humanity & Nature  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4551 ~
The Earth:
"Dear Robert, you are here for a weekend in Manuel Antonio, one of what humans call a prestigious sea resort on my surface. Here you can see the vast Pacific Ocean, the greatest of the two thirds of my water covered surface. What are you feeling?"

I:
I prefer the mountains, sacred Mt. Rasur and the UN University for Peace, which are closer to the heavens and have a purer air.  There one thinks constantly of one's future and of the future of humanity.

Here, with all these hotels, motels, advertisements and eco-tourism one almost wishes that humans would cease growing in numbers.

The Earth:
"Well, it has started: the western population is expected to diminish by 40 million between now and the year 2050."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 4 - Our Place in Time

The time dimension of human disciplines varies enormously:  the exact sciences are generally very future oriented, while the social sciences usually relish with the past and with limited areas.  In order to foster the emergence of a global human family and prepare for proper Earth government we need more future oriented social sciences.  In particular we need:

a global anthropology
a global philosophy
a global sociology
a global psychology
a global spirituality, etc.

Margaret Mead used to say to her students:
"Go and study the United Nations which is for young anthropologists today what New Guinea was during my youth."

We don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
