[GMW #4690] Relaxation Is Another Word For Peace & Happiness

[GMW #4690] Relaxation Is Another Word For Peace & Happiness Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 6075 ~
We must relax as much as we can. A man like Albert Schweitzer, who lived happily to a very advanced age, always let his arms and hands hang down in a totally relaxed fashion. Do that and you will feel your entire body relaxed. Relaxation is another word for peace and happiness.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 4 - Of Spirituality


If I were the President of a prosperous country, I would issue a yearly report of gratitude to God and celebrate a thanksgiving day. A few countries do it already. The United Nations should proclaim a world-wide one.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.

It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
~ Albert Schweitzer

[GMW #3708] Value Your Words


[GMW #3708] Value Your Words Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4103 ~
An appropriate Chinese saying:
"If you do not value your words you have no value.
Your words are your values."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
To the recipes for living long I would add this one:

Relax as much as you can. 

Albert Schweitzer who lived happily to a very advanced age, used to let his arms and hands hang down in a totally relaxed fashion.  Do that and you will feel your entire body relaxed. 

Relaxation is the peace of the individual.

[GMW #3141] All Poor Children In The World To Receive A Present And Money


[GMW #3141] All Poor Children In The World To Receive A Present And Money

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3541 ~
From Lucia O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(7 years old):
All poor children in the world should receive a present and money.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
Albert Schweitzer was once asked:
"Who were your best friends in your life?"
He answered sadly:
"It was the people who did not write to me."
My answer, in all honesty, would be:
"It was the people who wrote to me and aggrandized the scope of my understanding.

[GMW #3006] Admiration, Passion & Enthusiasm For Life


[GMW #3006] Admiration, Passion & Enthusiasm For Life
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3400 ~
My compatriot Albert Schweitzer was for reverence for life. I am for admiration, passion, enthusiasm (Greek en theos, God in us) for life.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 6 I and Creation
I sometimes think that societal thinking and hierarchies should be turned downside up:

on top should be all human individuals, their families and the Earth;

below them should be all the entities created by humans for good or for wrong or for historical reasons: groups, institutions, nations, governments, religions, associations, corporations, international organizations, etc.

This second group should be the servants, the instruments of individuals and families and the Earth.

Individuals, families should never be the instruments, the servants of the former, which nowadays alas is all too often the case.

And the Earth should not be considered as a mere object good enough only for exploitation by all these institutions.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

Ideas 201 to 300) Introduction I dream:

Let me mention the fulfillment of some immediate dreams:

I dream of having a bust of Albert Schweitzer on the beautiful, tropical grounds of the University for Peace in Costa Rica, to inspire students from all continents. In a moment I will unveil the first model of a life-size bust of him which I will donate to the University.

The inauguration of the bust, of an Albert Schweitzer Chair, and of Albert Schweitzer scholarships will take place at the University for Peace at the end of May* in presence of the diplomatic community, of Dr. and Mrs. Rhena Schweitzer Miller, of my dear friend Harold Robles, the dynamic and visionary President of the Albert Schweitzer Institute for the Humanities. (*This was done. I can see the bust from the Margarita and Robert Muller aula, my office at the University for Peace.)

Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you from the innermost of my heart for this wonderful honor.

Like Albert Schweitzer, let us never cease to dream, to advocate, to serve, and to act.

Let us make our beautiful Earth the Planet of Dreams.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 6 The Rich Age

I reached retirement and quickly refused the concept of retirement.
And I never retired.

I experienced old age and quickly refused the concept of old age.
And I never felt old.

I will experience death but I will refuse the concept of death.
And as a result I might not die.
