Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
ANNEX - after Idea 1200 (Continued)
During my fifty years of world service I have observed three major phases in recent human history:

1. from 1945 to 1970: a period of most intensive, unprecedented concerns and actions for global humanism (avoid wars, prevent early childhood deaths, increase the well-being of all humans, defend universal human rights, put an end to colonialism and apartheid, increase literacy, longevity, good health, etc.)

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Human life is a many-sided marvel. Our little personal cosmic unit reaches out into every possible direction: the past, the present, the future, the below, the most immediate events, objects, persons, feelings and thoughts, and the entire planet and human family. We seem to contain the nuclei of the entire universe and time. And yet our little, intensively packed cosmos is unable to understand itself, the mystery of life, Creation and evolution!

Could total knowledge be an inherent impossibility in the universe, a built-in 'limitation' of the infinite, eternal reality? Paradise might simply be to be, to feel, to love, to let flow and not try to understand the impossible.

ANNEX - after Idea 1200 (Continued)
What do I see 50 years after World War II?

- a dangerous, unjustified purely politically motivated attack against the United Nations by a major country whose dream is now to be the policeman and ideological mentor of the world.

- still a political chaos of the world, beset by many ethnic and religious conflicts, with armaments and military world expenditures of 850 billion dollars, 40 percent of all public expenditures of the 185 national partitions of this world in the midst of colossal new needs created by the population explosion in the poor countries, by the consumption explosion in the rich ones and the environmental and climatic crisis of the Earth.

WORD FOR THE DAY
The habit of being happy
enables one to be freed, or largely freed,
from domination of outside conditions.

Message to the 50th Anniversary World Conference
of the World Federalist Movement in Montreux, Switzerland,
19 - 21 September 1997

After World War II, some Alsace-Lorrainers were fed up with the political chaos in Europe which as a result of three wars forced my grandparents to change nationality five times without leaving their village. My friends Rene Lejeune and Robert Schuman decided to achieve a borderless European Union along the path of a coal and steel community, followed by an economic community, political community and a yet unfulfilled spiritual community. Europe still lacks a soul to offer itself as an unprecedented new model to the world.

I, for my part, decided to tackle the problem at the world level. God allowed me to join the United Nations as the winner of an essay contest on how to govern the world. I labored there for forty years and continue my efforts as a one-dollar-a-year Chancellor of the first University for Peace on this planet in one of the first demilitarized and most nature-blessed countries, Costa Rica.

~ Idea 1200 ~ 23 October 1997
Eve of United Nations Day

Hopi Prayer for Peace*

Great Spirit and all unseen, this day we pray and ask you for guidance, humbly we ask you to help us and our fellow humans to have recourse to peaceful ways of life, because of uncontrolled deceitfulness of humankind.

Help us all to love, not hate one another.
We ask to be seen in an image of love and peace.
Let us be seen in beauty, the colors of the rainbow.
We respect our mother the Earth with our loving care, for from her breast we receive our nourishment.

Let us not listen to the voices of the two-hearted, the destroyers of mind, the haters and self-made leaders, whose lusts for power and wealth will lead us into confusion and darkness.
Seek visions always of world beauty, not violence nor battlefield.

It is our duty to pray always for harmony between humans and Earth, so that the Earth will bloom once more.
Let us show our emblem of love and good will for all life and land.

Pray for the House of Glass, for within it are minds clear and pure as ice and mountain streams.
Pray for the great leaders of nations in the House of Mica who in their own quiet ways help the Earth in balance.
We pray the Great Spirit that one day our mother Earth be purified into a healthy peaceful one.

Let us all sing for strength of wisdom with all nations for the good of all people.

Our hope is not yet lost, purification must be to restore the health of our mother Earth for lasting peace and happiness.
James Kootshongsie

* This Hopi (the Peaceful ones) Prayer for Peace was given to me in Shongopavi when I was honored with a feather from an eagle's head, closest to the Great Spirit, for having opened the doors of the House of Mica or Glass (the United Nations) to Hopi elders to deliver their prophecies. On that occasion I was given the name Kogyun Deyo, Spider Boy, my task being to make a vast spider web to catch all evil on Earth and then throw it far away into the universe.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
Human relations on this planet are too cold. We must warm them up. The temperature of international relations, in particular, must be raised to a germinating birth-giving level. The human ice age and its cold wars have lasted much too long. This must be the responsibility of each of us. Any personal warmth we can contribute to human relations will raise the general temperature of the world society. How can we expect nations to be loving and compassionate if we are not loving and compassionate ourselves?

WORD FOR THE DAY
May God protect us, grant us wisdom's fruit;
may we gain energy to know the Truth;
may our intellects grow clear and bright;
may we cherish no ill feelings toward anyone.
Om, peace, peace, peace be unto all.

Taittiriya Upanishad 2.1.1

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1195 to 1196 ~ 18 to 19 October 1997
I recommend that UNESCO publish every year a report on the number and finances of military academies and the young men being trained as militaries in the world.

I recommend that a philanthropist establish a yearly World Prize on Demilitarization and the Reduction of Military Training. The Prize should be announced yearly at a meeting of the UN General Assembly or in UNESCO.

~ Idea 1194 ~ 17 October 1997
On the other hand it is refreshing to note that peace and conflict-resolution has become a subject of major and increasing popularity in the Universities around the world. It is notable also that the International Association of University Presidents has appointed one University in each country which is in charge of keeping track of all peace and conflict-resolution courses in all the Universities of that country.

Secrets of the 100-yr-old Marathoner

The secret to a long and healthy life is to be stress-free.

Be grateful for everything you have,

stay away from people who are negative,

stay smiling and keep running.

- Fauja Singh, 100-yr-old Marathoner -

Secrets of the 100-yr-old Marathoner

Most people hang up their boots as they get older, but Fauja Singh only began running in his eighties. At the age of 94, he ran a full marathon in less than 5 hours, but on 16 Oct 2011, at the age of 100, he still has it in him. Singh did what no other person has done: he became the oldest person and the first centenarian to finish a marathon. Along the way, he's received sponsorship deals, but he donates it all. "I'm not really interested in all the rupees, I give it to charity," he says of his sponsorship deal. "Money can be saved and spent and lost and made. At my age it's nice just to do this. [...] Look how blessed I am. What's not to be happy about?" { read more }

Be The Change

Do something that gives you meaning and joy, regardless of whether you think you're too old or too young.
