[GMW #4152] Plant Trees In Every Corner Of The Planet

[GMW #4152] Plant Trees In Every Corner Of The Planet  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4542 ~
I can see Chief Executive Officers of big corporations exclaim to their staff, "Plant trees in every corner you can to get those environmentalists off my neck."

On the eve of the year 1000 humans believed that the world would come to an end.  It didn't, and cathedrals were built to thank God.  We were more hopeful as we neared the year 2000 and had a great Celebration of the Bimillennium.

Now we must settle the last conflicts on Earth and develop for the 21st century a novel vision of the human destiny on our miraculous, celestial planet. Let us plan one positive decade and century after another toward an unprecedented world-wide Trimillennium Celebration.

[GMW #4151] Responsible Humanity Considers Itself A Part Of Nature

[GMW #4151] Responsible Humanity Considers Itself A Part Of Nature   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4541 ~
If humanity succeeds to consider itself as part of nature, of the evolution of life forms on this planet and of being the most advanced, most responsible of these living forms, then we have a chance to save the world and ourselves. But if we consider science, inventions, industries, constructions, buildings, wealth acquisition, the stock markets and national sovereignty to be the highest values and objectives, then we will destroy the Earth and her miraculous long-term achievements over millions of years, and possibly ourselves.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 4 - Our Place in Time

There are scientists who believe that everything can be explained by evolution.  Yet evolution is only a small period of time of a few million years on our minuscule planet in a minor solar system.  Creation is infinitely vaster and more mysterious than what we can ever comprehend. Evolution is just a drop in the cosmic sea.

This does not mean that we are not a marvelous planet, a tremendous achievement, a true jewel in the universe. Everything in Creation is a manifestation of a sublime, stupendous force, of cosmic blueprints or designs.  But scientists must not limit life on our planet to a theory of evolution. There is infinitely more in the heavens and on Earth than in any human theory.

WORD FOR THE DAY Gratitude is so close to the bone of life, pure and true, that it instantly stops the rational mind, and all its planning and plotting.

[GMW #4038] Organize Ourselves & Govern For A Peaceful, Happy, Wholesome Human Family

[GMW #4038] Organize Ourselves & Govern For A Peaceful, Happy, Wholesome Human Family Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4431 ~
For whom should we organize this Earth? For the five thousand 'minorities' on this planet, for humanity, for religions, for nations, for languages, for cultures, for races, for coalitions?

At this stage of our evolution we should govern and organize ourselves for the preservation and conservation of the Earth and the birth of a peaceful, happy, wholesome human family.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe
During most of human history, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. Then we learned that the sun was not turning around the Earth but that the Earth was circling around the sun. So we thought that the sun was the center of the universe. Then we learned that the sun is only a small star turning around the axis of a galaxy of stars. Then we learned that this galaxy is circling around the pole of a cluster of galaxies which in turn is rotating around the pole of a spheric expanding universe!

How small and diminished we have become! Scientists further tell us that time, distance, speed, mass and energy are all relative. But, if this is so, then perhaps we are not so small after all! We might even be the only planet with life in a universe of fire, gases, atomic explosions and interstellar voids! Our conditions might be unique:  the right distance from a sun not to burn and not to freeze, the right mass to retain water and an atmosphere, the right rotation and orbit, the right atomic density and chemical composition.

So we might after all be a true showpiece, a unique, miraculous success of the cosmos.  What responsibility this would mean!

What change of thinking, concerns, policies and behavior it would require from our political leaders!  What immense human pride, gratitude and truly religious feeling it would command from us!

Why not try loving and managing well that miracle?

Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary. There are burning bushes all around you. Every tree is full of angels. Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb.

[GMW #3734] Call Yourself An 'Earthian' Before Mentioning Your Nationality


[GMW #3734] Call Yourself An 'Earthian' Before Mentioning Your Nationality Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4129 ~
In human rights texts I see that the words 'planetary man', 'planetary human' and 'planetary humankind' begin to be used by the UN. 'Earthians' and 'planetary beings' is indeed what we fundamentally are and should call ourselves, before mentioning any nationality.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 1 -
The Span of Life
As the number of old people will grow, the world will gain in wisdom, if the old people know and decide to exercise their crucial roles.

[GMW #3641] Humanity And Earth Are One


[GMW #3641] Humanity And Earth Are One Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4036 ~
Photographs from outer space show us and the Earth as one.

But this is not yet
understood by humanity. We see ourselves as members of nations instead of one human family with one fate, on one planet circling in the vast universe.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 3 -
The Miracle of Childhood

An Alsatian schoolchild visiting the United Nations asked me: "Why doesn't the UN abolish all borders?"

An old proverb says: "out of the mouth of children comes the truth."  It reminded me of my own dreams as a child (see Annex).
