[GMW #1722] Security Council To Meet Nearer The People And Places Of Conflicts

[GMW #1722] Security Council To Meet Nearer The People And Places Of Conflicts

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 234 ~ 1 March 1995

After a visit to Chinese Premier Chou En Lai who complained to the Secretary General that all world agencies were located in the West and that most meetings were held there too,

I obtained that the Security Council met in Panama and in Addis Ababa. Panama credited that meeting for having helped the conclusion of the Panama Canal Treaty, and the Addis Ababa meeting contributed to the solution of the problem of apartheid and the independence of Mozambique and Angola.

It should be the policy of the Security Council to meet nearer the people and places of conflicts.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 6 The Rich Age

Each person on Earth should have a guru (teacher), a master, a sage, a confessor, a spiritual person to talk to, to turn to for advice.

The function of guru should be adopted world-wide.

Wise elderly guides should become gurus.

The teaching of wisdom should be the main function of the third age, or age of vanaprashta, the "preparation for the beyond".

The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.

Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.

[GMW #1670] World Conference On Simple And Frugal Living - Without Over-Consumption, Unnecessary Human Greed, Monumental Waste, Marketing, Advertisements

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 295 ~ 1 May 1995

A World conference on Simple and Frugal Living should be convened by the United Nations in order to save the Earth's resources from over-consumption, non-replacement and depletion as a result of unnecessary human greed, monumental waste, marketing, advertisement, built-in obsolescence and excessive packaging.

It is about time that we publish not only population statistics but also consumption statistics. Thus the population of the poor countries stands at 4.5 billion people and that of the rich countries at 1.2. But the latter consume per person thirty times more Earth resources than the former. As a result, in terms of pressure on resources, the rich population amounts in reality to 36 billion people.

Which part of the world then must be considered overpopulated?

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 6 The Rich Age

The Hindus call old age the period of vanaprashta, the preparation for the beyond. In their view, the last goal of life should be to become a sanyassin, a guru (teacher), a holy person, a saint. What a wise philosophy that is!

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth
find reserves of strength that will endure
as long as life lasts.

[GMW #1567] Create and Use Economic Standards And Measures That Account For Deterioration, Consumption And Depletion Of Earth's Capital

[GMW #1567] Create and Use Economic Standards And Measures That Account For Deterioration, Consumption And Depletion Of Earth's Capital

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 97 ~ 15 October 1994

I recommend that economic standards and measurements be changed to take into account the deterioration, consumption and depletion of the Earth's capital.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 18 Of Education (Inducation)

A sage, a teacher, a guru, a master, a wise person is one who provokes a magical enlightenment in others, sometimes entire transformations or changes in the direction and fulfillment of their lives.

When we begin to believe that there is greater joy in working with and for others, rather than just for ourselves, then our society will truly become a place of celebration.

[GMW #1401] To Die Very Old As A Saint

[GMW #1401] To Die Very Old As A Saint

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 6501 to 7000

~ Idea 6716 ~

Theresa of Lisieux, my preferred saint died very young.

I pray that from heaven she will help me to die very old, perhaps as a Saint Robert of Peace.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 9 Of Spirituality. See My Spiritual Journey by Robert - a four page excerpt including Robert's poem Decide To Be Spiritual .

It is easy for a priest, a saint, a guru, a rishi sitting in a church, in a temple, in a wood, in an ashram, in a retreat or a place of pilgrimage to preach the people and their disciples. It is much more difficult to be a holy person or a guru in the midst of a world of miseries and action.

As Dag Hammarskjöld said:
"In our time the way to holiness goes through the world of action."

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
