[GMW #3343] Refrain From Constant Buying - Halt The Flood Of Unneeded Products


[GMW #3343] Refrain From Constant Buying - Halt The Flood Of Unneeded Products Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3737 ~
There needs to be a true peoples' revolution against constant buying in the western world. If not the flood of unneeded products will continue, destroying the Earth and making people lose their sanity and humaneness. Just one example: if people ceased to buy the innumerable of magazines offered for sale all over the United States they would no longer be produced to the relief and happiness of our Mother Nature.

Weed out of your life carefully all bad elements. If not, they will proliferate and smother the good ones.

[GMW #3233] Indigenous People & Their Land Are Not To Be Exploited Or Harmed In Any Way

We must be careful that the rest of the world does not do what the USA did with its indigenous people: park them inside reserves, exploit them, drown them in consumption, build gambling places and destroy their Earth and natural elements.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1511 ~
30 August 1998

Sometimes when I do something with my hands, I say: "It is not going to work, it will fall, it will break." And indeed it does. I then exclaim: "Well, I knew it, I was right."

But in the back of my mind lingers the thought: "If I had held it better and been more careful and optimistic, it would not have fallen and broken." And I conclude that it was to a large extent my own fault.

Well, the same applies to social relations and to humanity. We all too often say: "It will not work." When writing these 2000 ideas I changed my attitude and said: "It will work. I and other people will make it work." As a result I never give up and the spirits of the universe visit me in the night and show me the ways.

As Immanuel Kant said:

"It will be proved, I know not when or where, that the human soul stands even in this life in indissoluble connection with all immaterial natures in the spirit world, that it reciprocally acts upon these and receives impressions and help from them."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
Our planet is so small and part of such a tiny solar system among trillions of solar systems of a small galaxy among trillions of galaxies of a cluster of galaxies among trillions of super-galaxies, that our efforts to understand Creation resemble those of a flea trying to understand the whole planet Earth!  And yet, we are doing it!

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500

~ Ideas 1455 to 1466 ~    5 to 16 July 1998

I have been invited to attend again a Findhorn conference in England but am unable to go.  To support the advocacy work of that splendid environmental organization, I reproduce here the following text:


Transcript of short talk by Robert Muller
to the Ecovillages and Sustainable Development Conference
in Findhorn, in October 1995

In my 40 years in the UN, I have seen three very basic changes.  From 1945-70 the UN was focused on humanism and humans; on avoiding war, on preventing children dying, and on The Declaration of Human Rights.  The Charter of the UN does not mention the Earth.  Why?  Because in our belief the Earth was limitless.  This continued until the late 60's when poets like Rachel Carson and advanced countries like Sweden began to notice that something was wrong with nature around us.

A completely new period of history thus started with the First World Conference on the Environment in Sweden in 1972.  There was continuation of the preoccupation with humans, but also a new preoccupation with the world around us.  It was only in the late 60's that we realized that we had a population problem, because the fertility rate continued at about the same level, while the mortality rate was declining.  The population explosion intensified the problem of the environment.  In 1980 we began to get warnings from climatologists that something was going wrong with the world's climate.

As a result since 1980 we have entered a third period – from now on the Earth is number one, and humanity is number two.  Humanity is number two because we wish humans to decline on this planet.  And we have begun to question the consumption of resources by Western countries which is 30 times the amount consumed by developing countries.  Believing that the world was unlimited, we started with the discipline and science called economics, (from Greek, oikonomos, the management of the home), before ecology, (the Greek, oikologos, the knowledge of the home).  We began to manipulate the home before we knew what we were manipulating.  Economics should have been and should become a sub-science of ecology.

The prospect of the third millennium has an incredible effect.  Humanity is preparing itself for a new millennium and century.  I have pages and pages of events which will take place even beyond the year 2000.

There is reason for optimism.  Humanity is really trying.  But we are only in the kindergarten of the global age.  We have not yet learned to be the careful managers of our planet.  We are still its exploiters.

I have just attended the Gorbachev meeting on the State of the World in San Francisco, and  I have gained a lot of hope.  They had the courage to get some of the best world experts to look into the state of the world and into the future, to create a vision of the society we want in the next millennium...and then do it.  They want to implement the population plan, support simple and frugal lives, and get multinational corporations to acquire global consciousness.  This gives me hope.  From a pessimistic young man, when I entered the UN immediately after World War II, I have become an optimistic elder.

Let me give you some very specific recommendations and ideas:

Idea 1455    Create a World Association of Eco-Communities to be NGO-accredited by the UN.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Love is our only salvation, the only cement and uplifting force that holds us upright in the mysterious, fathomless universe. 

Love is our voluntary, conscious, willful endearment with life, with the Earth and with the positive flows of the universe.
