[GMW #4547] Human Responsibility To Protect & Nurture Earth

[GMW #4547] Human Responsibility To Protect & Nurture Earth Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

~ Idea 4933 ~
At 2:00am in the middle of the night this overwhelming thought woke me up: that we humans, of all the millions of species on this planet, smaller or bigger, we are the only one which has acquired an almost total knowledge of the planet on which we live.

This is such a gigantic evolutionary, cosmic achievement that we cannot continue to think, to like, to act, to behave as our forefathers did. We have an incredible responsibility toward that planet, its functioning, its elements, all its species', its preservation, its nature and future.

I have learned this in the UN, the first world-wide organization in which I have lived all my adult life. I therefore cannot accept, it would be irresponsible of me to act as a being born in Belgium, a national of France, become German then French again, a resident of the United States and finally of Costa Rica. None of these nations can be one hundred percent right and claim my total allegiance and unreserved duty and obedience, including the duty to kill for it.

No, it cannot be.  I am a human, a sentient, living, responsible being of this incredible Earth and humanity in the universe, a living unit, cell, a son of Mother Earth.  Only that is right, all the rest must be secondary.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II - The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 4 - Of Spirituality


Every morning I ask God what more I can do for the peace and happiness of the world, and I always get an answer.

Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what’s going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise.
~ Annie Dillard

[GMW #4008] Think Big For The World With Mind, Heart and Soul


[GMW #4008] Think Big For The World With Mind, Heart and Soul Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4401 ~
To think small in the United Nations should be considered a professional fault. To think big must be the rule. When the dimension of problems increases so immensely the human being must also increase the dimension of his mind.

UN officials should all have king-size brains, hearts and souls.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe

Remark of a little boy to his mother when he came home from a Robert Muller school:
"Mammy, did you know that we are living in heaven?"

Every head of state and every human being should remember this and derive from it a deep joy and sense of responsibility.

Your vision will become clear only
when you can look into your own heart.
Who looks outside, dreams;
who looks inside, awakes.

[GMW #3685] Democracy, Justice, Love, Responsibility & Freedom Are All Interdependent


[GMW #3685] Democracy, Justice, Love, Responsibility & Freedom Are All Interdependent Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4080~
Democracy, justice, love, responsibility and freedom are all interdependent. If one disappears, all others lose or perish.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
Even and especially in old age (the rich or advanced age), life can pursue its upward course thanks to a passion.  That passion can range over an immense gamut of values and realities: from the infinitely large (e.g. God) to the very small (e.g. a stamp collection).

The object may not be so important, but the drive for life, the will for life, the passion for what one does is.

[GMW #3656] I Am Not Only Myself, I Am Many Others


[GMW #3656] I Am Not Only Myself, I Am Many Others Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4051 ~
I am half man, half society. I am half Earth, half heavens. I am a very big, important self. And yet during the night I often wake up, feeling that I am not myself, that I am many others.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 1 -
The Span of Life

Dear youth, the tenants of power who do not want the world to change will accuse you of idealism, realism, irresponsibility, lack of experience, hippism, revolutionary impatience, etc.  In reality, you are performing your evolutionary task as new cosmic units whose biological function is precisely to speak and act for the Earth's and humanity's future.

We need badly a theory, a science and an art of the role of youth, as well as of all generations, so that each of them can play correctly its intended, important biological role.
