Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 295 ~ 1 May 1995

A World conference on Simple and Frugal Living should be convened by the United Nations in order to save the Earth's resources from over-consumption, non-replacement and depletion as a result of unnecessary human greed, monumental waste, marketing, advertisement, built-in obsolescence and excessive packaging.

It is about time that we publish not only population statistics but also consumption statistics. Thus the population of the poor countries stands at 4.5 billion people and that of the rich countries at 1.2. But the latter consume per person thirty times more Earth resources than the former. As a result, in terms of pressure on resources, the rich population amounts in reality to 36 billion people.

Which part of the world then must be considered overpopulated?

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 6 The Rich Age

The Hindus call old age the period of vanaprashta, the preparation for the beyond. In their view, the last goal of life should be to become a sanyassin, a guru (teacher), a holy person, a saint. What a wise philosophy that is!

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 292 ~ 28 April 1995

In the United States each State must grant two scholarships to young men from that State to be trained in the military academy of West Point, 2 scholarships for training in the naval academy of Annapolis and 2 scholarships in the aviation academy of Granville Fields.

Why not require that each nation-member of the United Nations (there are 185 of them) must offer two scholarships each year to young men or women to study and be trained as peacemakers at the UN University for Peace?

This would mean a jump in the enrollment of students at that University from 60 in 1994, 20 in 1995 to 370 in future years. A resolution to that effect should be adopted by the UN General Assembly.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 6 The Rich Age

Life is an endless wonder.

The rich old age should never be considered as an end.

There is no end to the mystery and power of life and love.

By cultivating especially love, advanced age can be made into a resplending wonder.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 291 ~ 27 April 1995

Between now and the year 2000, the United Nations, its world agencies and conferences, together with World Commissions of Eminent Persons and world thinkers should chart a new course for humanity and the Earth, a global Renaissance, an Era of Peace, a Planetary Deal. A World Conference should be held on the subject by the UN in 1999, on the eve of the 21st century and third millennium.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III Chapter 6 The Rich Age

The rich age of the western countries has become too much a victim of tourism. We receive innumerable groups of elderly tourists at the University for Peace. But most of them want to see, to consume, to learn, to ask questions.

Seldom do we get an idea, a proposal, a dream, a vision from them.

Only one group, the Gray Panthers came to Costa Rica to hold a summit meeting out of which we got dozens of ideas and proposals for a better world, and pledges to take action.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 290 ~ 26 April 1995

I dream that an Office or Department for Violence Prevention will be created at the UN to study and promote a science, a strategy and a methodology of violence prevention in all fields, from international violence to internal national violence, ethnic violence, religious violence, street violence, family violence.

We must formulate the ideal of a non-violent human society in the next century and millennium on this planet. The UN is the natural, ideal place to do that.

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

When with my young wife we visited after World War II a hero of the French Resistance, General Koenig, he gave us this advice: "Prepare well your advanced, rich old age. Have a vision of what you want to be and have accomplished in your life." We were grateful to him all our life for this wise strategic counsel.*

[GMW #1666] Middle East Countries Cooperating On Common Interests, Their Economies, For Political and Spiritual Union

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 289 ~ 25 April 1995

Why not try in the Middle East what we have achieved successfully against all odds in Europe: to make countries which were warring for centuries cooperate on common interests, e.g. coal and steel, then their entire economies, followed by a political and tomorrow spiritual union.

I was told that the French and Germans will always have wars and that the contrary was unthinkable. Well, why not try to prove the contrary also in the Middle East.

Nothing is impossible on Earth, if humans really want it.
