Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

    ~ Idea 324 ~    30 May 1995

In my Peace Park on Mt. Rasur, overlooking the University for Peace I have a bench of dreams where I ask visitors to sit, close their eyes and formulate a dream.  Following a rite which was taught to me by a girl from Holland, Mara van der Lugt, one takes a pebble or stone in each hand, presses the two hands together, closes one's eyes and dreams intensely.  When opening the eyes one throws one stone on the Earth, so that the sacred earth will remember the dream, and the other stone one takes home to be reminded of the dream.  I wish that benches of dreams be built in many places on Earth.

Humanity and the Earth badly need our dreams.  (See Ideas 729 and 749.)
Note:
By 1997 about two dozen have been built around the world.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 318 ~    24 May 1995

A world center should be created to study all regional communities recently created or in formation on this planet. 

They are growing in numbers, impact and importance.  The European Union is the most important one, but there are several others like the Arctic Forum created by Governor Walter Hickel, which can serve as a model for other vital bioregions of this planet. 

Such a Center would collect systematic information on these nascent communities and submit a yearly report to the United Nations, since this is a major, very hopeful innovation in the global government of our planet.

Perpetual gratitude toward people around us initiates habits of thankful prayer. It also starts a chain reaction of giving thanks, till our friends and loved ones and our whole world become imbued in grateful living.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 316 ~    22 May 1995

Walking today at sunrise on a wonderful beach in Malibu, California where I was to speak to the Wallenberg Peace Conference on the emergence of a global community,

I suddenly fell in love with the vast Pacific Ocean and all humans living on its shores. 

Out of this love an idea was born; I will propose in my speech the creation of PACOM, of the Pacific Community of all riparian nations of that Ocean of Peace.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 314 ~    20 May 1995

I have never understood why the United Nations should only have economic regional commissions for each continent. 

They should become Political, Economic, Social and Environmental Commissions each headed by a regional Secretary General. 

Perhaps the big powers never liked the idea of a grouping of countries of the same continent into political, regional United Nations.

Philanthropy (love for humans) must be accompanied by gaiaphily (love for Gaia, our Mother Earth).  Local and national philanthropy must vastly extend into world philanthropy and gaiaphily.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 313 ~    19 May 1995

The world should enter the next millennium with the consolidation of all economic and social activities and organs of the UN (Economic and Social Council, regional economic commissions, the United Nations Development Program, the World Food Program, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, the recently created World Trade Organization), etc. into an Economic and Social United Nations, headed by a second Secretary General.

And now it is the Earth first and humanity second.  What will it be tomorrow? 

The whole fate and evolution of planet Earth and of life on it?

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

~ Idea 312 ~    18 May 1995

There is much pressure from the rich countries for free world trade, because they have a distinct historic, economic, scientific and technological advantage to invade the poor countries with their products and advanced marketing and advertisement, often changing the traditional, more healthy, natural, better habits of these countries, where moreover advertisement is very cheap. 

The poor countries should raise the issue of free migrations, of the freedom of people to settle anywhere on our planet. 

People should claim this as a fundamental human right. 

Why only world free movement of goods, and no free movement of people? 

The United Nations must hold a world conference on the free movement, migration and settlement of all humans on this planet.  It will have to be raised sooner or later.  The sooner we do, the better.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume III Chapter I - The Span Of Life
All my life I wanted to see a different world, a better world, a peaceful world.  With one increasing purpose, I will pursue this objective until I die and even beyond it, God willing.
