[GMW #4530] Consider Nature Our Main Capital - It Must Be Protected


[GMW #4530] Consider Nature Our Main Capital - It Must Be Protected Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 4916 ~
To continue to admire the United States can be an error. The American dream was correct for almost a hundred years, but now many things have gone wrong.

In some cities of the US there are no birds left. The US model of constant, endless economic 'growth' should no longer be imitated indiscriminately world-wide.

Nature must more and more be considered as our main capital.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 4 - Of Spirituality


A lovely story sent to me by a reader:
"One night I dreamed that I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across my mind. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was only one."

"This bothered me because I noted that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord: `You promised me, Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there was only one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there with me?'

"The Lord replied, “The times when you saw only one set of footprints, my child, I was carrying you."

[GMW #2947] Pay Attention To Mother Earth


[GMW #2947] Pay Attention To Mother Earth
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3341 ~
When will governments and all public services in the world pay as much attention and resources to our precious, life-giving and bearing Mother Earth as they do to human affairs? No wonder that the Earth is on the decline and that doubts arise about the future of a rapidly growing humanity.

I recommend that all budgets in the world should show the sums budgeted for the Earth, for her seas and oceans, for her nature and future as are now budgeted for human needs, concerns, the political system and future "economic growth".

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
There is a world of food out there. We eat, digest and transform it. There is a world of sights out there. We see, digest and transform them. There is a world of ideas and values out there. We take, digest and transform them. We are both external and internal beings. We are part of everything and at the same time incredibly distinct. What a marvelous unique, sacred creation each human person is!

[GMW #2713] Limits Of Economic Growth & Ending Naturecide, Terracide & Biocide


[GMW #2713] Limits Of Economic Growth & Ending Naturecide, Terracide & Biocide Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3106 ~
A quarter of a century ago a meeting held at the United Nations by the Club of Rome advocating limits of economic growth was labeled by the US extreme right an advocacy of genocide, e.g. the killing of human beings.  Today there is no longer such a hard condemnation and a nicer word has been adopted, namely 'sustainable development'.  Perhaps we should use a new word, 'naturecide', namely the killing of nature as opposed to genocide.  One could also adopt the new words of 'terracide', the killing of the Earth and 'biocide', the killing of life.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 3 Of Consciousness
The art of living can reach from the consciousness of a flower or of my own personal life to the consciousness of God and of the universe.  Our whole being will be able to focus some day almost instantly, as does already the eye, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small.  The long, marvelous evolution of human eyesight will now take place also for our perception of the entire Creation.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 6501 to 7000


~ Idea 6595 ~

Humanity and its national governments and businesses have not yet realized that we are in the middle of the biggest war ever, the war of humans against nature and the Earth for the sake of economic growth, enrichment, more and more big cities and constructions everywhere, even skyscrapers. As a result thirty percent of the Earth's nature had been destroyed by the year 1977!

The United Nations and people must do everything they can to save the incredible, magnificent nature and species of our Mother Earth.

The most convincing form of faith is faith through experience. Hence, the great responsibility of experienced people to communicate their faith to youth.

Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.
