[GMW #4087] Use The Positive Word - Peace - Demilitarization, Disarmament, Deferring Are Not Good Enough

[GMW #4087] Use The Positive Word - Peace - Demilitarization, Disarmament, Deferring Are Not Good Enough Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4480 ~
We use the words demilitarization and disarmament. This is not good enough. Since we use the positive word peace and not deferring, we should also find positive words better than demilitarization and disarmament. Any suggestions?

Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 2 - Our Miraculous Planetary Home

When the children of a Robert Muller School celebrated Earth Day, a teacher asked them what they thought of that event.  A little boy answered:

"Why do we celebrate Earth Day only once a year?  Every day should be Earth Day."

Where the glacier meets the sky, the land ceases to be earthly, and the earth becomes one with the heavens; no sorrows live there anymore, and therefore joy is not necessary; beauty alone reigns there, beyond all demands.

[GMW #4027] Every Day Should Be A Miraculous, Happy, Loving, Earth Day - A Gift Of God


[GMW #4027] Every Day Should Be A Miraculous, Happy, Loving, Earth Day - A Gift Of God Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4420 ~
Every day should be an Earth Day. Every day should be a Birth Day. Every day should be a Happy Day. Every day should be a Love Day. Every day should be a Thanksgiving Day. Every day should be a Miraculous, Incredible Gift of God.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe
In the end, it is all a question of joyful surrender to the miracle of life, Creation and God. With our limited human senses and means in the vast unfathomable universe we will never make it. The acceptance of an original force, of a Creator, of a supreme being with whom we can talk and feel one through prayer, faith and love, is still for innumerable people the simplest and greatest way out of the insoluble mysteries.

[GMW #3966] Celebrate Earth Day Worldwide On Spring Solstice Of Each Hemisphere

[GMW #3966] Celebrate Earth Day Worldwide On Spring Solstice Of Each Hemisphere Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4359 ~
The yearly Earth Day on the Spring Solstice in each hemisphere should be celebrated world-wide with at least as much intensity, diversity and enthusiasm as is Halloween.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 6 - I and Creation
Each morning when I awake I experience the extreme happiness of being alive.  Each day is a resurrection.  Each day is a rebirth, an added time to the continuation of the miracle of my life.

[GMW #3753] For The Future Of The Earth And Humanity Convene A World Conference


[GMW #3753] For The Future Of The Earth And Humanity Convene A World Conference Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4148 ~
Letters to Sweden Dear Mr. Ambassador,

Mr. John McConnell, a dear friend for many years, called me to underline again the importance of Earth Day of which he was the father. In our conversation I mentioned to him that he should not be too unhappy because substantial progress has been achieved since Sweden's initiatives in 1968 for the holding of UNESCO's world conference on the biosphere and the first UN conference on the Environment in Stockholm in 1972. I thought that I should send him a copy of a letter to the Ambassador of Sweden in 1994. He asked me to send you a copy too, which I am doing herewith.

Santa Barbara, 9 July 2001

In my 4000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World I often give Sweden as a model country, for example the agreement of the government with Swedish toy manufacturers not to produce war toys, and the prohibition of advertisements addressed to children below a certain age.

If you have more such examples I would be happy to report them in the next volumes.

Ambassador Lars-Goran Engfeldt Ministry of the Environment Sweden

Dear Mr. Ambassador,
I send you my very warmest greetings
Robert Muller Former UN Assistant Secretary General
Co-founder of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica

Santa Barbara, 11 July 2001

I take pleasure in sending you pages 90 to 91, Volume VI, from my 4000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World, mentioned in my earlier fax to you. I add two more ideas in which Sweden which has been in the foreground of caring for the Earth might take an interest.

Combined, the idea would be to obtain the convening of a World Conference on the Future of the Earth and of Humanity to the Year 3000. It would be a great historic event with profound effects on what will happen on this planet in the years and centuries to come.

We absolutely must take a long term view of the future, to avoid potentially irreversible, negative events. We owe it to the next generation. Ambassador Lars-Goran Engfeldt Ministry of the Environment Sweden

Yours sincerely, Robert Muller

Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
The role of grandparents in the development of children and transmission of the wisdom of life, especially through story-telling, is of paramount importance.

Some of the greatest lessons in my life I received from my only grandparent alive, my grandfather the hat maker.

Today, many more children have the benefit of their grandparents, due to increased longevity.  They should be happy and grateful and take full advantage of it.

A grandparent is alive and a blessing. Television is not.

[GMW #3612] Increase Global Consciousness By Co-Celebrating Birthdays And World Days


[GMW #3612] Increase Global Consciousness By Co-Celebrating Birthdays And World Days Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4007 ~
In Idea 106 of 24 October 1994 I said that of a population of 5.6 billion humans on planet Earth 15.3 million were born on a 24th of October and that they should celebrate their birthday together with that of the United Nations.

Well, I go further and recommend that all people of the planet born on one of the international or world days proclaimed by the United Nations should celebrate their birthday together on that day and be particularly conscious of its message.

I give two examples: the yearly Earth Day on the Spring Equinox and World Environment Day on 5 June. In the Annex to Part II of this volume you will find the list of world days proclaimed by the United Nations. The people born on those days can co-celebrate them. It would increase the global consciousness of humanity.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 3 -
The Miracle of Childhood

Perhaps there are no barriers at all between us and the universe, except those created by ourselves and society.  As a child I could feel the immensity and divinity of life.  Then society came and created the barriers: you must like this nation rather than that — thus fragmenting and reducing my natural, universal love.  An essential aspect of education: teaching each child to love the immensity and infinite variety of life, and the miracle of each individual human being.
