[GMW #4119] Being A 'Developed' Planet Or Nation Should Not Mean Destroying Parts Of Planet Earth

[GMW #4119] Being A 'Developed' Planet Or Nation Should Not Mean Destroying Parts Of Planet Earth   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4509 ~
In the year 2050 we are expected to be 9 billion humans, 3 billion more than today; there will be tens of thousands of new products; innumerable new cars and airplanes; many more books, magazines and newspapers; innumerable computers and television sets; infinitely more telephone calls and electronic mail; world tourism; insurances for anything you can think of; but you will have to buy fresh water and carry oxygen bottles on our shoulders to breathe fresh air; the media will make sure to have exciting, especially bad news every day; advertisement will help you to buy more and more anything forever; the supermarkets will be sky-high hyper markets offering you, in addition to any products on Earth, sleeping facilities, movies and entertainment. Most surfaces of our planet, mountains, forests, rivers, seas and oceans will be occupied. There will be even cities on the seas and oceans and in the atmosphere.

Yes, dear humans you will have the greatest time on a 'developed', no longer primitive, but half destroyed planet Earth.

UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld and U Thant had different views regarding the allegiance of world servants:  for Dag Hammarskjöld world allegiance was the rule, superseding national allegiance.  U Thant for his part was allegiant to himself, to his family, to his culture, to his nation, but also to humanity and the Earth.  His belief in multiple allegiances is closer to the true reality of life, namely diversity in unity.

I love to watch the fine mist of the night come on,
The windows and the stars illumined, one by one,
The rivers of dark smoke pour upward lazily,
And the moon rise and turn them silver. I shall see
The springs, the summers, and the autumns slowly pass;
And when old Winter puts his blank face to the glass,
I shall close all my shutters, pull the curtains tight,
And build me stately palaces by candlelight.

[GMW #4032] Be A Contributing, Fulfilled Human Being Of An Extraordinary Meaning

[GMW #4032] Be A Contributing, Fulfilled Human Being Of An Extraordinary Meaning Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4425 ~
It is no accident that I am still alive and have a meaning on this planet. The older I am, the more I discover that my life has an extraordinary meaning. It is no accident that you and I are alive and here. Our lives, man and woman, have an extraordinary meaning. Education and government have the sacred duty to reveal this to us and to make us contributing, fulfilled human beings.

If we do not believe in God, if we think that we can do it all by ourselves on this little planet, we simply shut out the entire infinity and eternity, which is the blindest thing we could no.  No "primitive" people have ever done it.

[GMW #3810] The Science Of Love - Lovology - Reason Beyond Intelligence


[GMW #3810] The Science Of Love - Lovology - Reason Beyond Intelligence Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4205 ~
What is more important, the heart or the brain, love or intelligence?

The heart is more important because if it stops life ends forthwith. If intelligence stops life continues even if only in a very reduced form.

In human relations and attitudes love also goes beyond and is more effective than pure intelligence. Pascal said: "The heart has its reasons which reason ignores." It would be interesting to determine these reasons in a science of love, lovology.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 7 - Return to Mother Earth
The human race has been evolving over time from primitive stages to ever more advanced ones.  This process will continue until we have reached paradise Earth.  It would be more proper for us to speak of 'evolution' for the past and 'advolution' for the future.  Each human being, each family is part of both.

[GMW #3186] A Joyful Revolution Replacing Obsolete Dominant, Cultivated Values


[GMW #3186] A Joyful Revolution Replacing Obsolete Dominant, Cultivated Values
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3586 ~
Our planet Earth is such a tremendous, marvelous, perhaps unique miracle in the universe that it is incomprehensible that we do not take better care of her and let power, business and money be the dominant ideals of humans. How primitive can we be and how much longer will this last? We need a revolution against these dominant, cultivated, obsolete values.

A sad peacemaker is not an efficient peacemaker.
A joyful peacemaker is an efficient peacemaker.

[GMW #2376] Primitive Political and Economic Management of our Planet


Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1219 ~
11 November 1997
In a hundred years people will be astonished at the state of the world of today. They will admit that we made many progresses, as we admit it when we look back one hundred years, but they will hardly understand that we could be so primitive in the political and economic management of our planet, stagnating in philosophical, social and spiritual retardedness. It will be rewarding for me to see that from heaven and to rub my hands for having written unorthodox ideas, considered crazy or at best ahead of their time, which helped that evolution. I will keep a record at that time of all my ideas which were implemented during the 21st century.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
What is this concept of spirituality? In my view it is very simple. It is what I felt as a little boy. It is to receive from the religions help to understand the mystery of the universe and time. This is what all religions have in common. They help us, they elevate us, while the mysteries of the universe and time have never been resolved by the scientists, not even by Einstein. They will always remain mysteries. Religions give us hope that there is a soul in us which binds us as sentient beings with the entire universe and time, that we are children of God, active, living cosmic beings, each one the true miracle I felt already to be as a child.
As a consequence I created several spiritual associations in the UN and brought many outside spiritual organizations in contact and relation with the UN. I had contact with the Mayor of Assisi who at my suggestion arranged for the Pope to have yearly meetings in Assisi with the heads of other religions. I convinced U Thant to invite the Pope to the UN and was put in charge of that visit. I could write a whole book What the UN Taught Me About Spirituality as I wrote "What War Taught Me About Peace".

An Amazon Tour Guide's Inspiring Story
Nearly 21 years ago, Patty Webster landed her dream job as an adventure tour guide in the Peruvian Amazon. But as she shared the area's beauty and culture with tourists, she realized there was a darker side to the rainforest paradise. "I saw how poor they were and realized that people were dying because they didn't have medical care," Webster said. She started sharing her supplies with the locals and soon began waking up to find people waiting outside her mosquito net to ask her for medicine. At one point, Webster -- who had no medical training -- gave someone stitches, following instructions from a book. "It was kind of scary," she recalled. "If they're depending on me for their health care ... we're all going to die." That's when she decided to stay and do something more. { read more }
