[GMW #1655] University For Peace To Develop A Total Science, A Total Strategy And Total Methodology Of Peace For The World

[GMW #1655] University For Peace To Develop A Total Science, A Total Strategy And Total Methodology Of Peace For The World

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 269 ~ 5 April 1995

Napoleon did not send his military trainees to Universities. He created military academies where they were taught a total science of war, a total strategy of war and a total methodology of war. The German General Clausewitz perfected that system in the 19th century by proclaiming that there was no limit to the use of violence. Since then we have hundreds of military "academies" in the world teaching this, with the recent amendment that the objective is no longer war but "defense".

There exists nothing similar for peace. After my forty years of UN service I thought that academia had done its job and developed a science, a strategy and a methodology of peace. There exists nothing of the sort.

I have therefore decided to throw all my weight behind the first University for Peace on the planet, in demilitarized Costa Rica, and to develop a total science, a total strategy and total methodology of peace. Wherever the military are the peacemakers will be, from outer-space and star-wars to atomic and genetic warfare, which will be replaced with star-peace and atomic and genetic peace. You have your monuments, and medals to warriors, we will have them for peacemakers.

This is why governments are so scared of this University: only 32 of 185 have ratified its statute and only three have provided it with minimal help

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 5 Of Adulthood

In the middle of adult life, one sometimes feels that our ambitions, efforts and beliefs are very confused, not right anymore. One seems lost in a jungle.

The whole being longs for light, for an open sky, for the deeper truths of life.

Then begins the royal road towards enlightenment and wisdom.

Then the arrow of life points back again to the dreams of our childhood and youth.

It is the beginning of understanding the cosmic divine, evolutionary, natural meaning of our integral individual human life.

[GMW #1653] Monuments To Unknown Peacemakers In Each Capitol Of The World And Other Places Too

[GMW #1653] Monuments To Unknown Peacemakers In Each Capitol Of The World And Other Places Too

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 268 ~ 4 April 1995

Former Secretary General U Thant once said to me after returning from a trip abroad: "Robert, in each capitol I visit they take me to a monument to the unknown soldier to light a flame, but I have never been taken to a monument to the unknown peacemaker."

I remembered his comment when I became Chancellor of the University for Peace. There we have now the first monument on Earth to unknown peacemakers. I recommend that such monuments be erected in each capitol of the world. It is high time. (See Idea 321.)

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 5 Of Adulthood

I was more myself when I was a child. I could burst out with joy and also cry. I was fascinated by everything. I fell asleep at night, exhausted by the practice of life.

Today, as an adult, I am a cross-section of many lives and thoughts. I am a crosspoint of people, of very vast problems and time dimensions.

I speak and write as an instrument of the universe, of the planet, of humanity and of life. I am giving back what I have received. I try to inspire others, as I am inspired myself. Everyone will find in me an echo of himself or herself. Perhaps the greatest virtue of adulthood is to inspire confidence and deep love for life.

During your adulthood there comes a time when you must be born again, when you must find again the simplicity, resplendence and integrity of your childhood and the dreams of your youth.

Many an individual has turned from the mean, personal, acquisitive point of view to one that sees society as a whole and works for its benefit. If there has been such a change in one person, there can be the same change in many.

[GMW #1653] A Ministry Of Happiness In Each And Every Government For This Fundamental Pursuit And Rightful Expectation Of Human Beings

[GMW #1653] A Ministry Of Happiness In Each And Every Government For This Fundamental Pursuit And Rightful Expectation Of Human Beings

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 266 ~ 2 April 1995

In each government a Ministry of Happiness should be created as well as a World Commission or Department of Happiness at the United Nations to deal with this fundamental pursuit and rightful expectation of human beings.

The US Constitution includes the pursuit of happiness as the objective of government.

This statement by Jose Figueres, the former President of Costa Rica who demilitarized his country in 1948 seems particularly appropriate to the adult age:

Have you ever stood on a mountain and watched the ocean?
Have you noticed that the higher you climb, the wider the horizon?

So also with humans. To the degree we conquer ourselves, we can see farther across in the landscape of our lives. Each person establishes his own horizon by his spiritual nature.

Today my prayer consisted in simply going to my heart and re-membering all the folks I've stored there. It is not cold storage. It is a quite warm and tender place.

[GMW #1652] A World-Wide Consumers Movement To Reduce Producers Harm To Planet Earth

[GMW #1652] A World-Wide Consumers Movement To Reduce Producers Harm To Planet Earth

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 265 ~ 1 April 1995

Only consumers can save this planet. Producers will destroy it. A world-wide consumers movement is urgently needed.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 5 Of Adulthood

As an adult, do not concern yourself mostly with what others should be or do, but try to be and to do what you think you ought to be and to do.

Your good example will inspire others and bring much needed good to humanity.

Work for your reputation, and your reputation will work for you. The law of karma applies supremely to you.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow
into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness
into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."

[GMW #1651] All Nations Hold Their Elections In The Same Year And For The Same Duration

[GMW #1651] All Nations Hold Their Elections In The Same Year And For The Same Duration

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 261 ~ 28 March 1995

I repeat emphatically my recommendation that all nations should hold their elections in the same year and for the same duration.

Why? Because how many times have I heard at the UN: one cannot do anything in the Middle East, or in Cyprus because Israel or the Arab countries, or Greece or Turkey, or the United States have elections.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 5 Of Adulthood

The world out there is changing, and its changes might affect you.

But you, together with hundreds of millions of adults around the globe are also changing the world.

Keep informed about global problems by joining international associations or a local United Nations association or other movements concerned with world affairs and causes.

One of the main purposes of adulthood is to contribute to a peaceful, more just, better world, and to give proper guidance to the children and youth. This is the sacred duty of adulthood.

Also adults are the basic units of democracy, the optimum living perceptive units of the Earth and of the human condition.

Exercise this function with extreme seriousness, not limiting it to the election of public officials, but expressing your views by networking, writing to your representatives and newspapers, etc.

To do that, you must be properly informed about the place where you live, your community, your country, your continent and the world.

Peace is a prerequisite for our future...

Here is a excerpt from an email I received yesterday
from Atif Jamil of Pakistan.

He wrote, a Pakistani college girl is asking, "Why are they fighting?
We do not want weapons. We do not want war. We only want
peace which is a prerequisite for our future."

Peace, Love, and Light,
Barbara Wolf
