Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1320 ~    20 February 1998

In my view the subject of institutions has been given insufficient attention by humanity. 

Institutions and laws are probably the two most important factors of governing and organizing human groups and societies.  And institutions and laws must be constantly adapted and changed to respond to new problems, needs and evolutionary requirements. 

This is true today at all levels, local, provincial, regional, national, continental and global. 

I propose that a World University of Institutions be created.

Some people like to live horizontally, close to their lives and to the Earth.
Others like to live vertically, in contact with God and the heavens.
I like to live radially, as a conscious positive center of the universe, capable of embracing infinity, eternity and our entire globe and humanity.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1318 ~    18 February 1998

Increasing numbers of proposals are being made these days for world taxes:
- a world tax on the colossal international financial transactions which escape all governmental control;
- a world tax on tourism and trade;
- a world tax on multimillionaires and billionaires. 

It would be quite normal that since the UN has opened the world to trade and tourism, such a tax should be levied on their beneficiaries. 

It reminds me that years ago, Professor Jan Tinbergen, Nobel Prize winner in economics, a staunch advocate of the United Nations and proper world government said that poor countries should levy a tax on undesirable imports, e.g. tobacco products and alcohol, to improve the health of their people and finance the UN. 

This would stop the complaint of the big countries that they carry the main "burden" of the UN, and as result exercise constant pressure on the world organization.

I think that the time has come to establish a World Commission of Eminent Personalities on World Taxation and Finance.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1316 ~    16 February 1998

I often think that some day US citizens will invade a country like Costa Rica in order to have access to its pure oxygen, due to its location between the vast Atlantic and Pacific, and its still good forest and tree cover. 

Yes, the inhabitants of the western countries will soon have to leave their big, polluted cities. 

But I can also see this new problem: from my hill over the central valley of Costa Rica I can see more and more fires and smokes of the garbage dumps filled with plastic packages and containers introduced by the western world. 

Also the big US construction firms which since 1970, according to my journal, have plans for the de-concentration and abandonment of all major US cities, once building there will no longer be profitable, are now looking at the building markets of the poor countries, were it only for hotels and tourism resorts. 

As a result even Costa Rica might no longer be a place of environmental refuge.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1315 ~    15 February 1998

I like the ideas proposed by Dr. Klaus Schlichtmann to the Permanent Representative of Germany to the UN, namely to include in UN reform the proposal that nation-states would limit their national sovereignty in favor of "a United Nations security sovereignty".

He cites as a first step in this direction the provision in the Japanese Constitution abolishing war as a sovereign right of the nation.

The subject should be inscribed on the agenda of the UN upgrading as we enter a new century and millennium.

[GMW #2109] Mass Training Of Peacemakers At Peace Academies Throughout The World

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1314 ~    14 February 1998

A study of military training and peace education in the world would also reveal that while the militaries are both educated and "trained", peacemakers are not. 

The Institute of Peace in Washington which was originally conceived as a West Point for the training of peacemakers, was accepted by President Reagan on the condition that it would only produce peace studies but not educate or train peacemakers. 

The UN University in Tokyo was agreed upon by the US only on the specific condition that it would be limited to studies.  And the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica was ratified by only a handful of governments and financed by almost none of them, as a result of which it is practically without students. 

Neither in national Universities can one find any training of peacemakers. 

Napoleon was a genius when he decided that he would not send his militaries to Universities, but would create special military "academies" to train them and prepare them for war.  This situation still prevails today.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1313 ~    13 February 1998

If I were the Secretary General of the UN, I would create a special unit in the Secretariat to follow and report on the implementation of decisions by the UN organs. 

All too many decisions agreed to by governments are not implemented, especially not by the big powers, which then call the UN a paper mill.  The overall results should be published each year in a major report by the Secretary General calling a spade a spade. 

There is always talk about a necessary reform of the UN, but seldom of the reform of the behavior of governments.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
In the end, it is all a question of "will for life", of  "passion for life", of our decision to open our mind, eyes and hearts immensely and intensely to Creation, from a flower and sunrise to God and the universe. 

So our passion, so our life, so the aperture of our eyes, mind, heart and soul, so the greatness of what will enter them, so the wealth of our internal self.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1312 ~    12 February 1998

I recommend that following the example of Costa Rica which had the courage to demilitarize itself, one country on Earth should be the first to de-advertise itself. 

It would be equivalent to demilitarization, since the main war is now the war against the Earth and advertisers and marketers are the new militaries.  The UN must absolutely convene a world conference on advertising and marketing to put order in this new calamity.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 4 - Of Positive Living
Develop the art of positive living down to the last detail of your life. 

Close yourself totally to any negative thoughts and feelings. 

Be positive at every moment of your daily life until negativism keeps away from you as from an impregnable fortress.  It can be done. 

Try it and practice it to perfection. 
The results are astonishing.

~ Idea 1307 ~    7 February 1998

While I was autographing My Testament to the United Nations  for the new Ambassador of Costa Rica to the UN, Mr. Bernd Niehaus, Barbara proposed that a yearly prize be given to the most loyal and active servant of the world and of the United Nations.  In her view, I should be the first to receive it in the year 2000.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,

This diplomat with whom I am working is already finished:  his eyes are sad, his cheeks are sagging, his color is yellow, his shoulders are collapsed, his walk is sluggish, his hair is sickish, he smokes incessantly and talks pessimistically.  I am sure he also drinks. 

He is no longer a human being who really wants to live.  The nerve of life has abandoned him.  His whole being has said good-bye to the world.  What a pity! 

Will I be able to help him, to awaken him?  I must try.

"None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up from our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody bent down and helped us." -- Thurgood Marshall


Idea of the week.

"I wanted my 5 yr old son and 18 month old twins to truely understand what the act of giving was all about, especially at Christmas time. So, I made a list of people that were less likely to recieve gifts or love and let my son chose who we could give gifts to.

He chose homeless people.

We purchased some large inexpensive gift bags and filled them with canned goods, warm socks, toothbrushes, bars of soap, candy bars, and many other surprises. The best surprise was when my son came in with his piggy bank and said they could have his money. We filled several plastic bags with the coins and I slipped in a few dollar bills and added them to the gift bags. We then put all the gift bags in the trunk of the car.

A few days later, we saw a homeless person pushing a cart. We pulled over and we gave the bag to the man.

He started to cry when we wished him Merry Christmas. I have never forgotten the look of gratitude on his face and neither has my son. We have now done this for three years at my son's request." -- Anon
