[GMW #4154] Vital World Governance Nurturing Hope, Dreams & Addressing Urgent Tasks

[GMW #4154] Vital World Governance Nurturing Hope, Dreams & Addressing Urgent Tasks   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4544 ~
For me, the tall UN building is an edifice of human hope and dreams jutting into the sky and receiving from the universe increasingly clear messages and vaster, more urgent tasks.

The UN is terribly important, but also terribly insufficient. It is the most powerless vital institution on Earth. Many national governments, especially the big powers, consider it a danger and a competition rather than a crowning of their governmental tasks on the planet. When will this attitude change?


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

I would like to see a whole series of studies and articles published, showing how the world, nature, the continents, the regions, countries and local communities looked like in the years 2000 BC, 1000 BC, 1,1000 and 2000 A.D. It would show the incredible extent of our journey, our successes and failures, give us a clue to the deeper meaning of life and guide our future destiny in the next 1000 years.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1508 ~
27 August 1998

Darwin's theory of competition for survival of the fittest was right in the past. Today it must be changed to cooperation for the survival of the Earth and humanity and for the continuation of evolution.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
In the vast universe, we humans are true kings, almost Gods.  We know so much, feel so much, dream so much, query so much, discover so much.  We will not rest until we see, know, feel and understand all there is in the heavens and on Earth.  We unquestionably are of a cosmic nature.  We want to reach the outer expanses of the universe.  We are a transcending species capable of lifting itself beyond its capacities and senses by a universal urge.  We are stupendous little nebulas of life on a tiny, solid, watery, warm planet, trying to reach out for the stars and the outer limits of heaven.  What a prodigious species we are!  What an exciting adventure it is to be human!  What a teeming laboratory, what a palace full of treasures our planet is in the vast universe!

~ Idea 1101 ~
16 July 1997 Part 5
4. more generally we must put an end to the Darwinian theory of competition and survival of the fittest, and replace it by a new science, strategy and methodology of cooperation for our evolutionary survival and fulfillment on this particular planet in the universe.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
Perhaps in the evolution of the universe there comes a time when a species has discovered most secrets of its environment and becomes the master and manager of a planet.  We seem to have reached that stage in our evolution.  It entails vast, staggering responsibilities.

[GMW #2469] New Human Ways For Further Evolution And A Well Functioning Planet

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

In the nineteenth century when capitalism and communism were born, the world population was small and the Earth's resources were unexploited and seemed practically unlimited.  Capitalism did wonders in those circumstances.  It was the right obvious way for humans to progress in evolution, on the basis of the right Darwinian concept of competition at that time.  Communism was the wrong way and had finally to give up after a century of vain efforts.

Today the situation is entirely different:

- the world population has exploded from about one billion in the last century to close to 6 billion today and at the present rate will stabilize only at around 10 to 11 billion.

- the population explosion was recently accompanied by a consumption explosion, first in the rich countries and now spreading also to the rich and middle classes of the poor countries;

- the air, the waters, the soil, the biosphere, the climate of this planet which were all in equilibrium have been disrupted, endangering the normal functioning of the planet;

- the whole Earth, its life-systems and further evolution are in mortal danger, if humans continue on the same course.

Conclusion: capitalism has done its best and produced wonders but it must now capitulate too as did communism.  The best minds and leaders of the planet must conceive the new indispensable ways and behaviors of humans in the coming new century and millennium.

That is the central, overriding issue to be put at the top of the world agenda during the year 2000.  All the rest is secondary.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1425 ~   5 June 1998

I offer that the University for Peace created by the UN in a paradise of peaceful nature in demilitarized Costa Rica become the first University for heads of states, fulfilling the wish of Confucius when he lived in a China torn up by feuding provincial lords as is the world today by the feuding, competition and race of 185 nations.

Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
Speaking and listening are very precious, sacred, cosmic acts.  Speaking is giving cosmic energy and time.  Listening is receiving cosmic messages and enlightements.

9 Essential Skills Kids Should Learn
--by Leo Babauta

http://www.dailygood.org/view.php?sid=194

How then to prepare our kids for a world that is unpredictable, unknown? By teaching them to adapt, to deal with change, to be prepared for anything by not preparing them for anything specific.
This requires an entirely different approach to child-rearing and education. It means leaving our old ideas at the door, and reinventing everything.

[GMW #2357] This Earth is Our Country and We are All Its Citizens

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1203 ~
26 October 1997

Today is a great day in Western Europe. From this Sunday 26 October on, the citizens of the sixteen countries of the European Union will no longer need a passport when they travel to another country of the Union. This would have been inconceivable a few decades ago. My grandparents who held successively five nationalities (French, German, French, German and French) and knew three wars; my parents who had successively four nationalities (German, French, German and French) and knew two wars, must be rejoicing and celebrating in heaven.

As for me who was born in Belgium and had three successive nationalities (French, German and French) I remember with sadness all my youth school friends from Alsace-Lorraine who died unnecessarily in German or French uniforms during World War II. I pledge to them that I will not cease my efforts, as long as I live, to create a World Union in which all borders will be suppressed and no passports be any longer needed. This Earth is our country and we are all its citizens.

My thoughts go also to my deceased compatriot from Alsace-Lorraine, Robert Schuman, who was the author of that miracle. May God, the saints and the souls of all Europeans in heaven embrace him, and may he soon be declared himself a saint. I am working for it.

When I read this text to my wife Barbara, she commented: I was born from a family of Hungarian origin in the United States, therefore became an American. Now I consider myself to be an Inlovian, someone in love with you, with this magnificent Earth and with all humanity.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
I would like to see world competitions for peace, for love, for happiness, for goodness, for philanthropy, and for spirituality, instead of the current sea of dominating competition for profit, for money and wealth.
