The Earth: "Yes, I'm delighted that at long last someone has done that.  Could you ask the same people to go a step further and calculate the value of the total capital I represent and how that capital is diminishing each year as a result of destruction by humans while they rejoice at the increase of the capital in their banks, stock markets and safes? They will make strange faces in their wealthy, arrogant skyscrapers when there will be no longer any clear air to breathe, clean water to drink and proper climates for humans to live in.  Why instead of listening to economists and scientists don't you ask for the opinions, views, advice and prophecies of the indigenous people who are closest and most intimate with me?  They do not need to give dollar values to my natural products and to my nature.  It is funny to hear now that my nature is being evaluated in trillions of US dollars, one of humans' dismallest inventions!" Robert Muller Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 2 Of Happiness There are only two ways to live your life.  One is as though nothing is a miracle.  The other is as though everything is a miracle. ~ Einstein * UN News: UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service, UN Wire Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children,Women, IndigenousPeople To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. No matter how much wealth you have, if you do not have the treasure of virtue, it is of no use'. The true riches is the ever increasing spring of love from which all virtues come. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan from "The Bowl of Saki" (Here is a longer excerpt both text and audio is here: The Only Power of the Mystic by Hazrat Inayat Khan) More from Robert Muller: RobertMuller.org Subscribe to/or unsubscribe from Robert Muller'sGoodMorningWorld.org

[GMW #2459] Right Relationship With Nature - A New Civilization Of Understanding & Evolution

[GMW #2459] Right Relationship With Nature - A New Civilization Of Understanding & Evolution Wednesday 16 May 2012, Editor: Easy | RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | NEW Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500 ~ Idea 1443 ~ 24 June 1998 Observing the incredible diversity, proliferation, complexity and creative explosion of the fauna and flora of a tropical country like Costa Rica and other similar countries, I wonder how the western world had the nerve to call them underdeveloped countries.  From an arrogant human point of view perhaps, but not from the point of view of God's nature and tremendous Creation.  The West was saved from starvation in the Middle Ages with the discovery of the potato brought back to Europe from America by the explorers.  How much more we could learn from the tropical countries, from their peoples, in particular the indigenous people who found a right, harmonious relationship with nature.  What wealth is hidden in the biology of these countries!  One evolutionary theory claims that it is the weakness of the human body to fight against wild animals which gave birth to the development of our brain to survive.  Well, this might be true of humans who lived in cold, adverse climates.  But how can they now come and tell the rest of the world that they are undeveloped or underdeveloped?  It is the North which has not yet found its right relationship with nature.  What we need is a new civilization and understanding in which all regions of the world will contribute their knowledge and wisdom to our survival and fulfillment.  And since humans are children, products and parts of nature, I submit that henceforth we speak of a new era in world evolution: the era of United Nature, a far step beyond United Nations, our first but now insufficient global enlightenment after World War II. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,   Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking Watch your language:  bad vocabulary engenders bad thoughts which engender bad actions.  Good vocabulary fosters good thoughts and good actions.  Your words are your soul's projections and horses. UN News Sources - UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service , UN Wire News Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children, Women, Indigenous People To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. 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 Books recommended by Robert are here.
