[GMW #3946] Make Decisive Choices To Nurture Your Health & Planet Wide Peace

[GMW #3946] Make Decisive Choices To Nurture Your Health & Planet Wide Peace Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4339 ~
An advice to peacemakers: never smoke cigarettes or tobacco.

I was smoking as a young man until one day my father asked me to take him to the doctor because his lungs were ailing. The doctor examined him with x-rays and asked him, "Do you smoke?" Answer, "Yes." "How much a day?" "One to two packs of cigarettes." Verdict of the doctor: "Well, you have cancer all over your lungs. You are incurable. You will die within a few months."

From that day on I never smoked anymore for the rest of my life. My father died at the age of fifty-three. I am still alive at seventy-nine.

It is up to you to make decisive choices.

Total abstinence from alcohol is another one. As a peacemaker and world servant it is essential to live as long as possible.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 6 - I and Creation

My cosmology is very simple:
I am fascinated by all there is in Creation, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small,
I attempt a total grasp of time, from the past, to the present, to the future,
I seek a total view of our planet,
I seek a total view of the human family,
I seek a total view of the human person, of myself
as part of Creation, space and time,
I place on all that an engine called love
and let my life-boat float eagerly on the cosmic streams of Creation and life.

[GMW #3290] United Philosophies Initiative To Offer The World A New Global Philosophy Needed For The Third Millennium Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3690 ~
There is a general criticism that there are too many religions in this world. Well the decision has been taken by many of them to launch a United Religions Initiative which will lead to the creation of a United Religions similar to the United Nations. There is the similar criticism that there are too many philosophies. Well, why not launch a United Philosophies Initiative which would offer the world the new global philosophy needed in the third millennium?

We unanimously want pure air. And yet a great part of humanity is filling its lungs and our air with the smoke of a cancerous herb, tobacco. Our right to pure air is violated by anyone who smokes.

[GMW #3269] Construction Is Not Destruction


[GMW #3269] Construction Is Not Destruction Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3669 ~
Seeing the big advertisements of construction firms using innumerable bulldozers to dig up the Earth and build more road extensions or new roads I would request as a congressman that they should no longer be allowed to use the word construction, but would use the word Earth-moving instead. Destruction would even be more appropriate, but human culture has not yet come to that stage.

I was trying to visualize what would be next: these companies will have to seek endlessly new sites for new roads and 'buildings' to use their expensive machines and the producers of the machinery will need to produce constantly more of them in line with the theory of economic growth. The result will be more roads which will attract more automobile traffic, more building developments requiring more access roads and it will never end. For how many hundreds of years can this continue? What will be the end results of the theory of permanent economic growth and world-wide free enterprise? What is the role of government in all this?

This is a planet on which people complain that our arable land is limited, but let huge areas of the best land be used to produce poisons such as tobacco and alcohol.

This is even a planet where the same governments give huge subsidies to the producers of these poisons and pay for the hospital costs of their victims!

WORD FOR THE DAY
Although we have been made to believe
that if we let go we will end up with nothing,
life reveals just the opposite:
that letting go is the real path to freedom.

[GMW #3260] Get Values Straight - Nature-Rich, Non-Industrialized, Non-Commercialized Is Real Capital


[GMW #3260] Get Values Straight - Nature-Rich, Non-Industrialized, Non-Commercialized Is Real Capital Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3660 ~
A nature-rich, pure-air, non-industrialized, non-commercialized country, not over constructed country like Costa Rica represents a greater capital than all the overpopulated, monstrous, unnatural cities of the world. We must get our values straight.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II The Art of Personal Happy Living
Chapter 8, Of Health

The World Health Organization has recommended unanimously to all countries:
1. that non-smoking should be regarded as the normal social behavior and that all action which can promote the development of this attitude be taken;
2. that there should be a total prohibition of all forms of tobacco promotion.
The world has already accepted these rules for drugs.
To the list of victories still to be won we must add total prohibition of alcohol (Al kohol: Arabic, the Devil).
