[GMW #4528] Designated Areas Where Growth Is Prohibited

[GMW #4528] Designated Areas Where Growth Is Prohibited Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 4914 ~
Humans have become a destructive species of the Earth. There is now a theory of the limits of growth, of sustainable development; but this is not sufficient.

There should be certain areas in the world where growth would be prohibited. A list of them should be established by the UN World Environment Program.

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


To those who tell me: "Only God can bring us happiness", I answer: "Look at those children playing and smiling at each other. See those young people loving each other and drinking from each other's eyes and lips. They do not think of God at that moment. God might be there all right, smiling and saying : "Play, children, play. Love, young people, love. It is you who by playing and loving cause me happiness". But they do not have to think of God at that moment, and God understands this perfectly well.

Gratefulness is there from the very beginning, because it is always a loving listening to whatever comes your way, and if you lovingly listen to it, you are grateful for it.

[GMW #4372] Extend Our Hearts & Souls To Preserve & Conserve Our Precious Planetary Home


[GMW #4372] Extend Our Hearts & Souls To Preserve & Conserve Our Precious Planetary Home Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4758 ~
A few old ideas which might be worth repeating:
Until now humans have been quite successful in conquering nature for our growth and benefit.

We know the Earth inside out scientifically and have invented the most extraordinary technologies, empowering our hands, our legs, our brains, our eyesight, our hearing enormously.

But a new period has come: we must now learn to preserve and to conserve our precious planetary home, the Earth.  We must also learn to extend our hearts and our souls to the mysterious plans of the universe, of God, of the gods or of the Great Spirit.

"Know thyself and you will know the universe."
Plato and Pythagoras

"We are all born a genius, but we just get damaged along the way."
Buckminster Fuller

"Have an ideal, have a dream and work for it relentlessly."
Paul Hoffman

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 5 - Of Love 

One hears sometimes say of someone: "They have a daring mind." I have never heard anyone say: "They have a daring heart." And yet how vital this would be for our world!
