[GMW #3033] Provide Visitors Etymology Of Cities, Countries, Geography & Shrines


[GMW #3033] Provide Visitors Etymology Of Cities, Countries, Geography & Shrines   
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3427 ~
Tourism agencies should provide visitors with the etymology of the high points, geography, cities, shrines of the countries visited. This is particularly necessary for countries which have a different language, traditions and history.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
In the name of whom or what should we speak?
In the name of our precious, unique self or
in the name of the miracle of life and human fulfillment on this miraculous Earth in the vast, mysterious universe?

[GMW #2784] Changing Earth's Name To planet Business Is Not Acceptable



[GMW #2784] Changing Earth's Name To planet Business Is Not Acceptable
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3177 ~
The Earth:
"Dear Robert, I think it would be better if humans would change my name and replace it by what I have really become, namely the planet Business.  It would remove the feminine aspect of my nature and make me what I really am now, namely a males' planet."

I:
You may be right.  As a matter of fact, this gives me an idea: the Earth Council established on the magnificent grounds of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica should draw up a world list of the words used for the Earth, their etymology and meaning in all languages.  This would give us a precious idea of how humans in the different places of the world perceived you.  I know only a very few:

In Greek, Gaya was a goddess who whirled as a nebula in the universe and became the Earth.  Western scientific words use it profusely: geology, geometry, geophysics, geography, etc. (geo being a contraction of gaya).

In German, die Erde comes from goddess Eartha; the same origin of the English Earth.

The Latin Terra, French Terre, Spanish Terra, etc. are all feminine.

I will suggest it to Celine Cousteau, who works at the Earth Council,

The Earth:
"I would like that because I loved so much Captain Jacques Cousteau, her grandfather."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 3 Of Consciousness
Walk through life lightly with little baggage, like an angel.  Do not be overburdened, too earthbound, too goodsbound.  Like angels keep your head and soul in heaven.

[GMW #2275] A World Consumers Organization With Price Inspectors

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1091 ~ 6 July 1997
There are labor inspectors in most countries of the world. But there are practically no prices inspectors on this planet. To create them would be the greatest service to laborers and poor income earners of the world because they always lag behind the price increases. Since labor inspection and protection is the achievement of the International Labor Organization, I repeat my recommendation that the time has come to create a World Consumers Organization.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
We speak 5000 different languages but our hearts beat the same. This is why the word love exists in all 5000 of them. We should establish their list and etymology meaning. It would teach us a lot. A good subject for a Faculty of Love in universities.

Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary.

Every tree is full of angels.
Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 375 ~ 20 July 1995

I dream that next to the University for Peace in Costa Rica, a World Center for Robert Muller schools and the world core curriculum will be created to fulfill the prophecy of Gloria Crook, the founder of the first Robert Muller school in Arlington, Texas, that someday there will be thousands of such schools in the world. Since the land includes sacred Mt. Rasur, what a fulfillment of the prophecy of the indigenous God of children that would be!

It would be fascinating if the United Nations or the World Health Organization would collect and study the etymology, the meaning of the word death in all languages of the world.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 6501 to 7000

~ Idea 6638 ~

What is the meaning of the word despair, its etymology, its origin? In the French language for example it means desespoir, non-hope, the loss of hope (espoir). A collection of the word in all languages would be fascinating, revealing.
