[GMW #4141] Children Talking With Elders - What Times Did You Feel Most Alive, Making Positive Contributions

[GMW #4141] Children Talking With Elders - What Times Did You Feel Most Alive, Making Positive Contributions   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4531 ~
From Barbara Gaughen Muller

David Cooperrider and Jim Lord inspired the following idea: Children of Planet Earth can become the new vision keepers using the technique of imagining a perfect world and asking their parents, teachers and clergy as well as elected officials of their communities three or four questions that both renew the dreams of the one being interviewed as well as inspire the younger generation.

The questions could be:
1. "As you reflect on your career, can you tell me the story of a highpoint, a time when you felt most alive, most impactful, most successful in terms of contribution to this school, community, etc?"

2. "So what was it that made it a highpoint?  Can you tell me what you value most about yourself?"

3. "What one thing are you most proud of?"

Thus the connection of generations and inspiration begins with a shared vision of hope and joy.

Who ever was the sick mind who invented nationalism and national sovereignty?  We need today humanism, globalism, humanity sovereignty, Earth sovereignty.

[GMW #4140] New Songs To Show How One Person Can Make A Difference

[GMW #4140] New Songs To Show How One Person Can Make A Difference   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4530 ~
From Barbara Gaughen Muller

As Robert and I listen to the radio in our simple cabin on Mt. Rasur, so many songs reflect the peace and justice humanity seeks. This morning the song, 'If I Had A Hammer', speaks to the theme of justice.  "I'd hammer out justice, I'd hammer out love for all the people all over the world."  Once when riding in a taxi to the airport in New York, I asked the cab driver what two songs he remembers learning first. He said, 'If I Had a Hammer', and 'Let There Be Peace on Earth'.

There could be two new songs 'The Cleanest Mile on Earth', to show how one person can make a difference, and a Hopi song, 'Kogyun Deyo', the name Spider Boy given to Robert Muller to remind him to capture all evil on planet Earth in a vast spider web and toss it far into outer space.

Once in a corridor of the UN I commented to a colleague that within a few minutes we had met three heads of states. He replied: "Never mind. If you have seen one, you have seen them all."

[GMW #4139] Find Meaning Without Buying And Shopping

[GMW #4139] Find Meaning Without Buying And Shopping   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4529 - 4531 ~
To Robert, the man of my dreams and Dreams for a Better World. Here are three ideas for you from me for a Better World.
Barbara Gaughen Muller

The best seller book Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler speaks of personal courage of the heroine, to leave her confused, meaningless life and start over with nothing but the clothes on her back and $500. The process of the benefits of simplicity to find one's meaning for life is summed up when she moves  to a new home with her thoughts on page 171, "she liked the notion of a life no larger than a single, compact box."

What a beautiful idea that each of us could have a more meaningful life, as Gandhi did. When all his possessions at his death were gathered they took less space than one compact box. And this man of few possessions is remembered today and his teachings have become world known and honored.

The book, Ladder of Years that speaks to a different way of finding meaning without buying and shopping became a best seller.

How can a planet be properly run by 191 heads of totally distinct sovereign states?

[GMW #3419] Create A World Conference On Visions For The 21st Century And The Third Millennium


[GMW #3419] Create A World Conference On Visions For The 21st Century And The Third Millennium Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3818 ~
I would like to refer again to Idea 643 of Barbara Gaughen Muller that a world conference should be held on visions for the 21st century and the 3rd millennium. Such a conference would deal with the entire range of ideas for a better world from ideas for the individual, the family, the neighborhood, the village or town, the city, the state or province, the nation, the continent, up to ideas for the seas and oceans (71% of the planet), the atmosphere, the climate and the entire Earth. Such a conference could be a great eye opener and contribution to the new century and millennium.

Volume II The Art of Personal Happiness
Chapter 2, Of Happiness

A young man who read my book "Most of All They Taught Me Happiness" wrote to me that my concluding poem summarized the entire book and that I should publish it as a card for widest possible distribution. I did and it went around the world in several languages, bringing happiness to many.
