[GMW #3746] Proper Earth Management For Benefit Of All Humans & Nature For Today & Tomorrow


[GMW #3746] Proper Earth Management For Benefit Of All Humans & Nature For Today & Tomorrow Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4141 ~
I cannot help it but I constantly return to the problem of words, of linguistics: ecology comes from the Greek oikos and logos (the knowledge, the science of our home, the Earth). Economy is oikos nomos, the regulation, the management of our home. Economy, alas, came before ecology. For a long time we changed the Earth without worrying the least about the consequences on the Earth, on her future. The right thing to do now is to unite economics and ecology and manage the Earth respecting her laws and functioning and preserving her future.

Or we should get rid of the two Greek words and speak of proper Earth management or government based on the science of the Earth? In universities there would be a Faculty of Earth Management in which students would learn the science of the Earth, our part and place in it, and the proper government of the Earth for the benefit of all humans today and tomorrow and the preservation and good care of the Earth. Elizabet Sahtouris, the famous evolutionary scientist proposes Earthism (see Idea 3995).

"Age is a relative matter.  If you continue to work and absorb the beauty in the world about you, you will find that age does not necessarily mean getting gold, at least not in the ordinary sense.

I feel many things more intensely than ever before and life grows more fascinating.

As long as one can admire and love then one is young forever."
~ Pablo Casals

As long as we can do good, be of service, be in love with the miracle of life, then one is young forever.

[GMW #3693] Creating An Entirely New Democracy With Education, Linguistics


[GMW #3693] Creating An Entirely New Democracy With Education, Linguistics Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4088~
Carolyn Hawkins, who has been putting all these ideas on computer and followed my efforts and contributed to them said to me that there are two fundamental issues to be looked at in order to arrive at a critical mass phenomenon.

The first one is linguistics which does not yet express the more profound preoccupations of the human species. She proposes that at the beginning of the next five hundred ideas I should deal with the problem.

The second condition is education in order to pass on to the children, youth and adults the monumental experience and dangers which we are crossing. That would bring about a change.

The critical mass would lead to an entirely new democracy. The current one does no longer respond to the needs for the societal changes of this planet.

We have to pass through a critical mass experience which will open our eyes to an entirely new future and ways.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
Retirement can be so beautiful.  It is the seventh day of Creation: the work is done, one can look back and, like God, feel proud.  It is the marvelous age of taking stock, of concluding, of thinking deeply about the meaning of life, of one's own life in particular.  It is the age of new reasons for happiness: to philosophize, to be closer to God, to altruism, to social work, to peaceful, charitable, humanitarian causes, to the little children who need to be taught the mysteries and ways of life through loving stories, etc.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1040 ~    16 May 1997

In line with my recommendations that there should be more world universities, I proposed that the conference undertake the creation of a World Indigenous University, possibly located on the sacred indigenous grounds of the University for Peace. 

Such a University would study world-wide the linguistics of all indigenous people, their views and relations with the Earth, their spirituality and such remarkable cosmologies as the Maya, Aztec and Inca ones which were represented at the conference. 

The western world is in dire need of an appropriate cosmology and could be inspired by them.  For instance, it is interesting that the world core curriculum for a new presentation of all our knowledge to children (inserted in the volume of the first 500 ideas), which I derived from my experience in the United Nations, is almost identical to the Mayan cosmology.

During the conference I received a remarkable paper proposing the creation of a University of Mother Earth (Madre Tierra) in Costa Rica to complement the work and efforts of the Earth Council created in that country as one of the outcomes of the Rio de Janeiro Conference on the Environment.  The text of the proposal has been circulated to the Costa Rican Parliament to have it studied and proposed officially to the United Nations for implementation.  A wonderful idea.  I will do everything to get it accepted.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
Yes, to be an artist of life.  It is not life which is wrong, but what we make of it, how we play it.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. --Lao Tzu

Fact of the Day:
Todd Braver emerges from a tent nestled against the canyon wall with a slight tan. For the first time in three days in the wilderness, Braver is not wearing his watch. It is the kind of change many vacationers notice in themselves as they unwind and lose track of time.

But for Braver and his companions, these moments lead to an important question: What is happening to our brains? A psychology professor at Washington University in St. Louis, Braver was one of five neuroscientists who spent a week in remote southern Utah, rafting the San Juan River, camping on the soft banks and hiking the tributary canyons.

It was a primitive trip with a sophisticated goal: to understand how heavy use of digital devices and other technology changes how we think and behave, and how a retreat into nature might reverse those effects. [ more ]
