[GMW #3742] What Is Our Second Nature When We Are In A Car?


[GMW #3742] What Is Our Second Nature When We Are In A Car? Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4137 ~
A French saying of these days: "cela devient une deuxième nature d' être dans une voiture." It becomes a second nature to be in a car. This statement merits a lot of reflection. What is indeed our second nature when we are in a car?

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
The role of grandparents in the development of children and transmission of the wisdom of life, especially through story-telling, is of paramount importance.  Some of the greatest lessons in my life I received from my only grandparent alive, my grandfather the hatmaker. 

Today, many more children have the benefit of their grandparents, due to increased longevity.  They should be happy and grateful and take full advantage of it. 

A grandparent is alive and a blessing. 

Television is not.

[GMW #3727] World Renaissance With Wisdom, Cooperation, Regligions, Spirituality


[GMW #3727] World Renaissance With Wisdom, Cooperation, Regligions, Spirituality Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4122 ~
André Malraux, the French atheist and famous author, said: "The third millennium will be spiritual or there will be no third millennium." I am glad that I obtained the creation of a United Religions Initiative and of a World Commission of Eminent Personalities on Consciousness and Spirituality. May we see a strong world spiritual Renaissance and cooperation of all world religions in the third millennium.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
Advanced age is the time of meditation, of conclusion and wisdom, of story-telling and sharing advice with the little ones and youth as one climbs the last hill of life, with its widest, breathtaking horizon and views.

We know now what was unknown to all the preceding caravan of generations: that humans are only fellow-voyagers with other creatures in the odyssey of evolution.

This new knowledge should have given us, by this time,
a sense of kinship with fellow-creatures;
a wish to live and let live;
a sense of wonder over the magnitude and duration of the biotic enterprise.
~ Aldo Leopold

[GMW #3724] Hold Global Conferences On World Life And Death Issues More Frequently


[GMW #3724] Hold Global Conferences On World Life And Death Issues More Frequently Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4119 ~
UN world conferences on life and death global issues of humanity and of the Earth should be held much more frequently than at intervals of 20 years or 10 years as was the case until now. Such conferences should be held at least every three to five years.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 5 - The Rich Age
One of the richest products of living for a long time is wisdom and story-telling.
Our life-long learning and search must have a reason.
Is it for ourselves?
Partly yes, but largely no, for our life will end.
So it must be to enrich humanity and its future journey.
My life therefore makes more sense
as part of the total flow of human life through time.
I am both part of the whole and part of the flow.

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

[GMW #3091] Nurture Our Miraculous Evolution Towards A Perfect Admirable Planet


[GMW #3091] Nurture Our Miraculous Evolution Towards A Perfect Admirable Planet

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3490 ~
In the year 2000, there is still no evidence or sign that there exists any other planet with life in any of the large number of solar systems in any of the vast galaxies of the universe. The number of conditions for life to be born on any planet is still the highest improbability figure biologists and mathematicians have ever put together.

The Earth being an incredible, miraculous, perhaps unique body in the universe endowed with the most incredible variety of life forms is it possible that we humans, the most advanced and knowledgeable of all species are still incapable to bring good order, harmony and preservation of these miracles and are even beginning to destroy them?

This is understandable, outright madness. Yes, we are becoming an evolutionary destructive, flabbergasting misfit of evolution.

Doesn't any great leader or country or movement arise in this calamity to change that course and help our continued miraculous evolution towards a perfect, admirable planet in the universe?

No, I will never understand it. May this miracle at long last happen in the 21st century. May God or the mysterious forces of the universe allow it.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 14 Of Writing
Hidden wisdom is no good. All humans should publish their wisdom through speaking, writing, action, story-telling at every stage of their life.

[GMW #3052] Use Wasted Space Creatively



[GMW #3052] Use Wasted Space Creatively
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3446 ~
Most people and institutions in the world are writing nowadays only on one side of a page. The back page remains usually blank.

I suggest that people print on that back page a text which is important to them. For example, on the back of the UN University for Peace's paper I photocopy the text of my Dream 3000 or one of my Decide to poems, for example Decide to Be Peaceful, Decide to be Happy, Decide to Forgive.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume  II Chapter 13 Of Speaking
Hidden wisdom is not good. Every wise person must proclaim his or her wisdom through speaking, writing, action,
story-telling during all their life.
