Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 74 ~ 22 September 1994

I hope that a way will be found to seek the views and prophecies of the world's indigenous people concerning humanity's future on this planet. The International Decade of Indigenous People proclaimed by the UN offers a good opportunity to do that.

My Dreams as a Child
Robert Muller
11 March 2001
my 78th birthday
The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 3 The Miracle of Childhood - ANNEX


At my advanced age I am constantly drawn back to my basic dreams and values when I was a child of 4 or 5 years old. They were:

1. That life was divine, a true miracle. The people of my hometown were surprised to hear a child of that age declare in our local Germanic dialect of Alsace-Lorraine: "Das Laeve isch Göttlich," life is divine.

2. I had a deep passion for nature. The blooming of a cherry tree in spring and the possession of my own hen were true miracles. I describe these feelings in my book of memories Most of All, They Taught Me Happiness.

3. I could not understand that the river crossing our town was a border, that the people living on the other side of it were not French but "enemies", "Germans" to be hated although they had the same names as my father and mother (Muller, Schneider) and spoke the same language. Why did the sun, the clouds and the birds cross that border freely, and I could not? I swore that if in my lifetime I could do something to suppress them, I would do it.

4. My Father was surprised that when I met old persons I took off my cap to salute them. He wondered why: it was because these old people knew so much about life and I dreamt that some day I would be old and know as much as they knew.

5. I escaped from home early in the morning to attend the mass at dawn in the nearby church, attended only by old people and nuns. An old invalid was playing the organ. And I waited for the elevation of the host toward heaven. This was a very special miraculous moment for me: it gave me the feeling of belonging to the universe, to God, the Father in heaven. I often proclaimed in a loud voice, "Das Laeve isch Göttlich.:

These were key points of my early childhood which never left me during my life. I often refer to them in my writings and speeches. They explain a lot of what happened to me, of my stubborn dreams, ideas and initiatives for a divine nature, for peace and a happy, borderless, wonderful world, of my beliefs and values, my constant increase of world knowledge, of my mishaps and failures, but also of many successes beyond my wildest dreams.

On this birthday I thank You, dear God for the long, wonderful, truly magical life You had in store for me and I promise You to continue to do my very best for as long as You will bless me with the miraculous gift of life.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 73 ~ 21 September 1994

I welcome this suggestion of an American citizen in a letter to the Presidents of the United States and of Russia: "Make a joint declaration calling for a UN Constitutional Convention to assume and accept the primary UN function: PEACEKEEPING on SPACESHIP EARTH.

Once that document is ratified it will no longer be necessary for any nation to budget for defense spending and most military hardware can be gotten rid of." (An idea of Stanley Grovom, Santa Monica, California)

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

Chapter 3 The Miracle of Childhood

Humanity had an International Year of the Child, an International Year of Youth, two World Assemblies on Aging, five World Conferences on Women, an International Year of the Handicapped and an International Year of the Family.

Humanity still needs international years or conferences on love, conception, marriage, motherhood, fatherhood and grandparenthood.

Dear Ones:

Today is my mother's 80th birthday, and one thing that brings happiness to my heart is that you are still working -and playing - to create peace in this world. She is like you Robert, having come through the holocaust to carry love and kindness into the world - and having fun while doing it!

I always remember you not only for your sacred devotion to humanity as you espoused it at the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions and as the principal speaker in 1995 at Celebrating the Spirit: Toward a Global Ethic, but also most vividly at the Children's Festival in San Francisco that extraordinarily hot summer day when you took off your jacket, and dressed in shirtsleeves and suspenders, gloriously played Beethoven's Ode to Joy on your harmonica!

I tell my young daughter, about you so she understands that a life of service is also a life full of joy!
I pray this email finds you well and happy.
In kindness and love,
Aaron

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 66 ~ 14 September 1994

I hope that soon there will be no more Military or War Academies and Defense Ministries on the planet, all of them having been replaced by or transformed into Peace Academies and Ministries of Peace. Which one will have the historic honor to be the first?

An Alsatian schoolchild visiting the United Nations asked me: "Why doesn't the UN abolish all borders?"
An old proverb says: "out of the mouth of children comes the truth." It reminded me of my own dreams as a child (see Annex).

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 58 ~ 6 September 1994

No head of State should ever deliver a speech in the United Nations without an idea or a concrete proposal. There are too many empty speeches in the world filled with accusations against others or telling what others should do. Journalists should no longer report on such speeches

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III
Chapter 3 The Miracle of Childhood

We should collect the views of children about the world and future they want. How precious these views can be! The views of the children of the first Robert Muller school in Arlington, Texas, are sent to the United Nations and distributed to all permanent missions of the member states.

[GMW #1622] UNICEF Children's House On The Magnificent, Inspiring Grounds Of The University For Peace Where Children Learn Peace

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 56 ~ 4 September 1994

I dream that UNICEF or a global philanthropist will build a UNICEF Children's House on the magnificent, inspiring grounds of the University for Peace, to allow children to meet, to play, to be taught peace, to read peace books, to listen to peace songs, play with peace toys, etc. Meetings and festivals could be held at it by children from around the world.

Notes:
31 August 1995: Three Costa Rican young people came to see me presenting me with a request that a children's and youth house for peace and the environment be built on the grounds of the University for Peace. They represented an organization of thousands of children and young people of Costa Rica. I congratulated them and asked them to submit their request with my full support to the Executive heads of UNICEF and the UN Environment Program.

13 February 1996: I met at the Costa Rican Embassy to the UN, with Mrs. Grethel Obando, the wife of the Ambassador, with Mr. Chowdury, a Director of UNICEF, and Ms. Brooke Newell, an NGO, to launch the idea.

I do not mind being called childish, naive, foolish or utopian. My dream is to remain a child as long as I live, with wonder in my heart and stars in my eyes.
