[GMW #2707] Ask Indigenous People To Value Nature With Their Prophecies & Opinions


[GMW #2707] Ask Indigenous People To Value Nature With Their Prophecies & Opinions Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3100 ~
Dear Earth,
You will be happy to hear that a group of ecologists, economists and geographers from twelve prestigious universities in three countries have come up with the value of the products of your nature: they estimate it at thirty-three trillion dollars a year, possibly as high as fifty-four trillion dollars while the total economic output by humans is only eighteen trillion dollars a year.  That means that while the average benefits per human on Earth from human activity is only three thousand dollars a year, the benefits from nature could be as high as nine thousand dollars.  Aren't you happy to hear that?

The Earth:
"Yes, I'm delighted that at long last someone has done that.  Could you ask the same people to go a step further and calculate the value of the total capital I represent and how that capital is diminishing each year as a result of destruction by humans while they rejoice at the increase of the capital in their banks, stock markets and safes?

They will make strange faces in their wealthy, arrogant skyscrapers when there will be no longer any clear air to breathe, clean water to drink and proper climates for humans to live in. 

Why instead of listening to economists and scientists don't you ask for the opinions, views, advice and prophecies of the indigenous people who are closest and most intimate with me?  They do not need to give dollar values to my natural products and to my nature.  It is funny to hear now that my nature is being evaluated in trillions of US dollars, one of humans' dismallest inventions!"

Robert Muller

No matter how much wealth you have,
if you do not have the treasure of virtue,
it is of no use'.

The true riches is the
ever increasing spring of love
from which all virtues come.

[GMW #2706] Life Exuberance, Inspiration For Further Evolution Not Superiority Over Nature & Others


[GMW #2706] Life Exuberance, Inspiration For Further Evolution Not Superiority Over Nature & Others Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3099 ~
I:
Dear Earth, when I observe the wonderful, miraculous nature of Costa Rica I ask myself sometimes: why did you produce and allow the evolution of humans and their big brains which are now endangering nature with atomic missiles and power plants, wastes, armaments and thousands of different, damaging ways they call progress.  I will never understand that they let a species become extinct every five hours and still call themselves intelligent, superior, developing, progressing and constructive!  Why didn't you stop evolution with vegetation and animals, but not humans?

The Earth:
"Well, since my round body turning around the sun and receiving its energy has different climatic conditions I needed to produce microbes, crawling and flying insects, birds and animals to continue the life of nature according to season and location.  Costa Rica, where you live, has the most favorable conditions for life exuberance: its animals and humans were in proper harmony with my nature.

Humans in the hard and cold conditions of the northern climates had to develop 'intelligence', 'imagination', 'inventiveness', 'creativity', 'hard work' and 'progress' which went up to their head.  They considered themselves to be superior to all nature.  They then invaded the rest of the world and are now destroying me thoughtlessly, unintelligently and unnecessarily.  That is the story."

I:
But can't you stop them?  What do you do?

The Earth:
"Well, there are growing numbers of humans like you who are aware of the impending disasters and have become 'environmentalists', i.e. beings animated by the soul, the anima, the life forms and cycles of all life on my body and of my own life and functioning.  This is why I have brought you and others like you from the United Nations in a cold northern climate to Costa Rica's sunny exuberant nature to be part of my salvation and further evolution.  I expect you and many others like you to be the new, most advanced life forms on my surface, to be my miracle makers.  I also made sure that the Earth Council created by the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Conference on the Environment would be located in Costa Rica on the grounds of the UN University for Peace.  You will become the most important, inspiring place on my surface."

One must try to become what the Hindus call a Trikaldarshi and a Trilokonath:
one who lives happily in the past, in the present and in the future;
one who lives on the ground,
in the mind and in the heavens.

[GMW #2705] World Days For Human Unity & Earth As A Primary Concern


[GMW #2705] World Days For Human Unity & Earth As A Primary Concern Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3098 ~
The following are International Days (I would prefer World Days) already proclaimed by the United Nations.

Earth Day
World Day of Water
World Press Freedom Day
World Environment Day
World Population Day
International Day of Peace
United Nations Day
World Food Day

These are a great progress toward human unity and the recognition of the Earth as a central, over-riding concern.

I recommend also more sentimental World Days:

a World Day of Happiness
... Kindness
... Love
... Smiling
... Generosity
... Thanksgiving
... Beauty
... Trees
... Flowers
... Animals
... etc.

It is good that we have already an International Week of Forgiveness but many more such weeks are needed.  The United Nations has also proclaimed a number of international decades such as the International Decades for the Handicapped and for the Indigenous People and now from 2001 to 2010 an International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 2 Of Happiness
First you have to believe in happiness and then you will find it. 
It is first and foremost a question of faith, of decision.

[GMW #2704] World Days Of Family, Fathers, Mothers, Children, Grandparents, Departed


[GMW #2704] World Days Of Family, Fathers, Mothers, Children, Grandparents, Departed Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3097 ~
I concentrate too much on governments, leaders, institutions, economics, politics.  Behind all that there are hundreds of millions of happy families, happy mothers, fathers, children and grandparents.  They manage to stick together in the worst circumstances as I was shown so vividly by my family during World War II.

We should therefore also have World Days of:

the family
fathers
mothers
children
grandparents
and the departed

I will never know the answers to the many mysteries of life. 
No one ever will. 

But I can use my enthusiasm and talent to write and speak about the miracle of life so as to impart some happiness to my fellow humans.

[GMW #2703] World Movement Returning To Living With The Land & Nature


[GMW #2703] World Movement Returning To Living With The Land & Nature Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3096 ~
There should be a world movement for the return of people to the land.  Many ideas could be conceived by such a movement for rich and for poor countries.  Here is one for the rich ones: people who retire should be invited and receive tax incentives to return to the land, sell their apartment or dwelling in the city, buy a home with land in the countryside and enjoy the rest of their lives in God's divine nature and Creation, helping vegetation, flowers, animals and birds to regain ground and flourish again.  At death they should request to be buried into the ground of their land, returned to the body of Mother Earth to be resuscitated as new vegetation and life forms under the generous rays of Father Sun and the miracle of rain.  Thus they would never die.

Their survivors would also be saved expenses of the average of $6,500 for dying in a US city and being burned into useless ashes.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 2 Of Happiness
The world abounds with people who want to dream, to love, to hope and to be happy. 
Yet happiness, love, dreams and hope are nowhere to be found on the agendas of governments and of world affairs. 
There must be something wrong with this planet's politics. 
There should be Ministries of Happiness, Love, Dreams and Hope in every government.

[GMW #2702] Planting Fruit Tree Peace Gardens For Each Child Born


[GMW #2702] Planting Fruit Tree Peace Gardens For Each Child Born Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3095 ~
On my 77th birthday, remembering my wonder at a blooming cherry tree and later at its fruits when I was a child and the fact that I planted cherry trees at the birth of my grandchildren, the following idea came to me:

That a fruit trees garden for newly born children should be created at the University for Peace: parents would come and plant a fruit tree for their new child.  The tree would bear the name of the child and a register of all babies will be held.  The children of Costa Rica would thus be associated with peace during all their life.  Parents, when coming during the weekends to the beautiful gardens of the university would show the growth of the trees to their children and hold birthday parties there.  When adults, the registered children could observe the growth of 'their tree', hold birthday parties there and register and plant trees for their own newly born.  There would be soon a whole forest of such trees providing food for birds, for squirrels and for monkeys, unique in the world.

Such fruit trees gardens for newly borns could be created in many places of the world.

Volume II Chapter 2 Of Happiness
Happiness dispels unhappiness as light dispels obscurity.
Therefore, switch on the happiest currents you have in yourself.
