Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1538 ~
26 September 1998

The creation of the European Union is the greatest political achievement and breakthrough of the second half of the 20th century, a real blessing on the eve of the 21st century and 3rd millennium. It must absolutely be used as a model for a World Union.

What I suggest the European Union should do for the creation of a World Court of Human Rights should be extended to a whole series of other issues relating to proper Earth government.

For example the European Parliament should open a permanent consultation between any interested governments of the planet on the ways of creating a World Parliament, first of a consultative nature, later with certain legislative powers as is now the case of the European Parliament.

This would help world democracy and have the peoples' representatives share in the shaping and governing of the Earth, not leaving it to the exclusive prerogative and authority of national executives.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
The instruments we use to "see" the infinitely large and the infinitely small are a function of our human senses and perceptions.  We stand somewhere on the fathomless universal scale of distances and volumes, and we judge Creation and time from our point of view.  In the universe, "great" and "small," "brief" and "long" may have no meaning.

In the universe everything is probably equally important.  Perhaps not even "to be or not to be" may be important.  But I cannot conceive it. 

To me everything seems important on this planet.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1537 ~
25 September 1998

Armed aggression is an international crime, the biggest of all. To kill another human being as a soldier is a crime. To train soldiers to kill other humans is a crime.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
Time, light, speed, space, energy, atomic weight, attraction, gravity, black holes, white dwarfs, quasars, leptons, weak force, etc., I admire you all, you discoveries by great minds of some of the basic factors and relationships in the universe.  Thanks to you, we have machines, factories, electricity, longer lives, better lives, and we can see into the infinitely large and infinitely small. 

But please do not forget this: I have been able to live for many years a prodigious life without ever worrying about my atoms and sub-atoms.  Humanity has lived for millions of years, and most of its 6 billion people wake up every morning without knowing or minding about their atomic structure.  We live on a specific planet with a specific weight, time, speed, texture and place in the universe.  I live on it with my specific genes, weight, time, speed, texture and reality. 

And none of your laws explains my dreams , my loves, my cravings, my sleep, my conscience, my growth, my life, my divinity and my death.  You help me greatly and I am thankful to you. 

But I would prefer to live without you as humans have done for so long rather than do without my loves, my dreams, illusions and my God.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1536 ~
24 September 1998

I recommend the creation of a World Commission of Eminent Personalities on Human Unity and Diversity. Such a Commission would study, propose and promote a large variety of means, policies, instruments and legislations to foster humanity's progress towards unity while preserving its rich, valuable diversity.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
The measurements we use to "see" the infinitely large are pretty well "frozen" on our planet:  a parallel might not be parallel in the universe, but is on our Earth; time may be a factor of speed in the universe, but we live within a firm earthly time.  As for the relationships within the infinitely small, they are safely locked in by nature, unless the scientists and the military let them loose and destroy this planet.

23 September 1998

During the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a Draft Declaration of Human Responsibilities will be taken up, written by 24 former heads of states under the leadership of former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt of Germany. Among these duties should figure prominently the responsibility of each nation to teach peace, tolerance and non-violence.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1534 ~
22 September 1998

During the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights this year, the UN should place on its agenda the creation of a World Court of Human Rights. There exists now a great international precedent: the European Court of Human Rights which protects the rights of all citizens of the 16 countries of the European Union. A similar court is needed for all countries of the world if human rights are to become universal in their application and enforcement.

If the UN does not take that decision, the European Union should establish an informal international study group of countries willing to work on the draft of such a World Court.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
Seen in the four infinites, human life becomes a tremendous privilege.  We could as well have never been born and never received the gift of life in the vast universe and eternity.  We must therefore be "good" cosmic units, children of God, in order to merit our lives and contribute to a higher level of evolution.  This ancient religious truth is beginning to reappear in the science of "genetic codification" and in the work of the United Nations, the first global genetic memory bank.

Inspiration of the Day:
Two weeks after D-Day, Col. Jack Leroy Tueller's made a decision to play his trumpet. The last remaining German sniper threatening his unit was so moved that he couldn't shoot, and surrendered the next morning. By choosing to play "his love song" Jack had sensed the fear and loneliness in that sniper, and had recognized that he too had that within himself. Now 90 years old, in this two minute video, Jack shares his priceless story with us. [Video]

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000
~ Idea 1533 ~
21 September 1998

A Jewish American friend who expressed to me his happiness that the United Nations was able to prevent the bombing of children and mothers in Iraq by military intervention of the US said to me: "Thirty years ago, when I said that the United Nations was not treating Israel fairly, you said to me: 'the conflict in your region involves several parties and politics plays a role in this. But remember that thanks to the United Nations Israel was created, is guaranteed unobstructed international postal services and telecommunications, and other international freedoms guaranteed by the UN.' I never forgot your comment."

[GMW #2538] Achieving A New, Proper World Democracy

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1532 ~
20 September 1998

Two major conditions for the achievement of a new, proper world democracy are:

- an objective education of humans. National education programs them into the nation's interests and not humanity's and the world's interests. Like everything else democracy has to be global if we want to take good care of our human brethren and sisters in other parts of the world and of the well-being and preservation of our Earth. The World Core Curriculum which I derived from the wonderful global education I received from the United Nations should be considered as a correct basis for education in all schools of the world conducive to proper democracy. (see table in first volume of 500 ideas)

- an objective information of all humans by governments at all levels, from local to global, by the media, advertisement and business. This is an absolutely fundamental condition to proper democracy and world survival. (see table on Media in first volume)

The above conditions are so serious that I recommend the holding of a world conference on democracy by the United Nations or the establishment of a World Commission of Eminent Personalities on Democracy.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
In the United Nations one is promoted from a national human being to a global, Earth, universal being.  It is the greatest school of an expanded consciousness and art of living at this stage of our evolution.
