[GMW #3644] Our Soul Interiority Vibrates Out Into Interpersonal Relationships


[GMW #3644] Our Soul Interiority Vibrates Out Into Interpersonal Relationships Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4039 ~
From a reader:
"The very foundations of our own soul-struggles are the same as the foundations of our social and economic struggles.

This foundation must be touched in our own interiority and from there vibrate out into interpersonal relationships and on societal concerns.

What affects one affects the other too."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 3 -
The Miracle of Childhood
In the US schools attended by my grandchildren I am known as the grandfather who puts french fries into his ears and nose and does all kinds of other funny things.  Children also like me to play my 10 holes little harmonica on which I am able to play the Ode to Joy by Beethoven. At the school of El Rodeo, the little hamlet where the UN University is located, the children translated the Ode to Joy of Beethoven into Spanish to sing it when I come to play the harmonica for them at their graduations and celebrations. I am so happy that those children love me and might not forget me.

[GMW #3580] A Tremendously Improved, Fulfilled, Happy, Elevated Human Condition


[GMW #3580] A Tremendously Improved, Fulfilled, Happy, Elevated Human Condition Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3975 ~
I dreamt for years that someday I would play the Ode to Joy on my ten-holed harmonica in the vast General Assembly Hall of the United Nations. It happened when I got the Golden Balloon Award of a children's organization in that hall.

My dream is now that I will be allowed to offer to all members of the United Nations in that Hall my views, proposals and dreams of a tremendously improved, fulfilled, happy, elevated human condition and a well-preserved ever more beautiful, miraculous divine Earth in the vast universe.

May that dream come true too. My appointment as Honorary Lifelong President of the Global Peoples' Assembly might be a stepping stone to it.

To validate others is the greatest service we can render.  And it costs nothing!  Just a few good words or a smile.

[GMW #3232] With Love Design & Build Your Own Modest Home


[GMW #3232] With Love Design & Build Your Own Modest Home Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3632 ~
No one on Earth should buy a pre-built standard house in an ugly conglomerate of identical, mass-produced houses. As a rule they are built as cheaply as possible. Their conglomerates look like camps, like communism.

Better dream, conceive and plan your own modest home and build it with the cooperation of masons, carpenters and other local artisans who will help you with love. You will not regret it.

It will be really your home, a product of your love and ideas, ready to receive your soul and the happiness of your family.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 14, The Joy of Living

The wonder of life is that we can find happiness both in great and in small things. I can be happy in the company of God and in that of my little ten-holes harmonica. I play on it the Ode to Joy at the end of all my speeches and people always remember it.

[GMW #3087] A Joy And Duty To Dream - They Are Speaking To You Through Me


[GMW #3087] A Joy And Duty To Dream - They Are Speaking To You Through Me Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3487 ~
To dream as I dream is not only a joy but also a duty. It is the product of fifty years of world service. I have little personal merit. I am the result of the gifts and inputs of many, many people during my life. They as speaking to you through me.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
Sometimes during a speech I suddenly feel like crying. The tears come to my eyes. I cannot stop them. And some people in the audience cry too. I apologize and finish my speech by playing Beethoven's Ode to Joy on my ten-holes harmonica. This and the tears they never forget.

[GMW #2633] Live Memorial Messages Of Hope And Resurection


[GMW #2633] Live Memorial Messages Of Hope And Resurection Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3030 ~   

We celebrate today a memorial to Ruth Schneider, a remarkable woman who died recently after a life of great achievements and inspiration to many people.  The event will take place on the terrace of Rasur, the God of the indigenous children who appeared to them and prophecized that from his hill a civilization of peace will extend to the entire world.  That was the goal of all her life. 

I am wide awake thinking of Teilhard de Chardin who wanted a Mass of Resurrection in white at his death and the playing at it of the Ode to Joy by Beethoven and I had to fulfill the same wish for Father Emanuel de Breuvery, his Jesuit companion and my director at the United Nations, when he died.  I was thinking of my wishes for my death.  They were the same.  I imagined the same memorial on this terrace and decided to dictate on tape my message of hope and resurrection for that ceremony.  I then discovered that I had done it already: the tape is called Passion for Life.  How moving it would be to hear Ruth Schneider's message today instead of only testimonies of those who knew and loved her.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter2  Of Happiness
Like a wanderer in nature
Love the paths of your life
there is so much beauty to see
so much music to hear
so many flowers to smell
so many thoughts to be thought
so much love to give
so much divinity to be felt.

WORD FOR THE DAY
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things in nature have a message you understand,
rejoice, for your soul is alive.
--Eleanora Duse
