Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 380 ~    25 July 1995

In ancient Greece, all wars were stopped to allow the people to attend the Olympic Peace Games. 

The UN General Assembly remembered it and decided in 1994 that the 17 days of the commemoration of the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 should be celebrated with a world cease-fire. 

The General Assembly also adopted the Costa Rican proposal that the week of 24 October 1995, 50th anniversary of the United Nations, should be a world week of peace. 

I would recommend the further decision that the year 2000 be declared a world year of cease fire and peace.

I love writing as much as Michelangelo loved painting.  My heart jumps with pleasure when I have time to write.  But it was not always so.  At the beginning it was very difficult.

In order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
--Adora Svitak


Inspiration of the Day:
"I loved to write from the age of four, and when I was six my mom bought me my own laptop...I wrote over 300 short stories on that little laptop, and I wanted to get published. Instead of just scoffing at this heresy that a kid wanted to get published, or saying 'wait until you're older,' my parents were really supportive." Since publishing her first book at the age of 7, Adora Svitak, now 12, has spoken for hundreds of schools and educators. She calls for "childish" thinking to embrace bright and creative ideas that would otherwise be considered impractical by most adults. [ more ]

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 376 ~    21 July 1995

I recommend that the Secretary General of the UN or a member government request the inscription on the agenda of the UN General Assembly of an item:

Creation and plans for the creation of regional trade, economic, ecological and political communities and unions in the world.

It is definitely one of the items to be included in an Inventory of Hopes at the end of this century.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing
There exists a United Nations Writers Society which I founded.

I want to write radiant works which bring joy and sunshine to the people, moral works which bring goodness and faith to the readers, informative works which bring world knowledge to my human brothers and sisters, personal stories which will inspire them. 

I want to exude, to exalt my joy, hope, happiness and passion for life. 

I beg more world servants to do the same.

"Maintaining a peace is like keeping a garden in good order. You have to work at it day in and ay out, otherwise the rains wash away the soil, and the weeds get so deeply rooted that it is impossible to pull them out without destroying many good plants as well.

First, and above everything else, we must have an intense desire to make this  succeed.

We can then work out the details of the world council and the regional councils that will be needed.

We can find ways to arrive at just decisions and to enforce those decisions.

We can determine which powers the nations ought to reserve to themselves, which powers will need to be delegated to regional councils, which powers ought to be held jointly by the regional councils and the world council, and which will have to be delegated to the world council alone if the peace of the world is to be preserved.

The airplane, which has brought so many thousands of boys to their death, can also enforce peace. It should not be hard to work out that phase of the problem if we really want to do it."

Henry A Wallace, June 2, 1943

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 374 ~    19 July 1995

In the early seventies, UNESCO published a report that the expenditures of Universities around the world to teach international relations (more than a billion dollars) surpassed the total of the budgets of the UN and of all its specialized agencies (800 million dollars).  It would be interesting to get an updated report from UNESCO on the situation today.

When I write early in the morning, in nature or in a church it is with an immense feeling of joy and love.  To write is my way of praying, of thanking God for the incredible gift of life and the beauty of His Creation.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500

    ~ Idea 373 ~    18 July 1995

In line Idea 372, not buying shares and products from corporations that are involved with armaments, the numerous peace and disarmament groups and associations around the world should join their minds and efforts and produce a compendium of ideas, like these 2000 ideas, on what people can do against the Armaments Madness.

Where is the best place to write?

Almost anywhere:  in a meeting, in a train, in a plane, in public, in your home, in a prison.  You could not sculpt or paint or practice any other art with such facility. 

Write whenever you can, as much as you can. 

Record your life, your experiences, your thoughts, your observations and your dreams. 

You will learn so much about life, the world, the universe, the people and yourself. 

There is no greater secret of life than to love it, to be fascinated by it and to observe it with endless, joyful, unfathomable passion. 

You will live immensely more.

~ Idea 352 ~    27 June 1995

In addition to world, continental and regional Universities, we need also natural, bioregional Universities dealing with self-contained natural regions of this planet, for example a Pacific University, an Atlantic University, a Mediterranean University concerned with these seas and oceans and with all the riparian countries.

Others would be an Andean University, a Himalayan University, a Saharan University, an Arctic University, an Antarctic University, a World Atmospheric University, a Mekong University, a Ganges University, etc.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 349 ~    24 June 1995

Right here and now, huge global problems are developing on this planet which will deeply affect humanity's future, including our possible extinction.  And yet, most national governments, business, local governments and the people are only interested in the immediate or the short-term. 

To heal this situation I recommend that the UN should create a new position of High Commissioner for the World's Future and that each government create a Ministry of the Future or for Future Generations. 

Margaret Mead similarly recommended that Universitites should have Departments of the Future.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 328 ~    3 June 1995

Foreigners visiting Costa Rica are astonished by the natural beauty which has been miraculously retained in this country.  Thirty percent of the territory are now protected against depredation. 

The dream has occurred to me that there should be a world Marshall Plan to preserve this blessed, demilitarized country as a remaining paradise on Earth. 

Such a plan would prevent the migration of the population from the beautiful rural areas to an overcrowded capitol. 

It could be a model of a country living in harmony with nature, inspired by eco-communities such as Findhorn in Scotland. 

Industrialized countries, instead of trying to industrialize Costa Rica, would help it to become a model of a new, more human and natural development, avoiding the errors made in most other developing and developed countries.

As a matter of fact, now that there is peace, the whole of Central America should be made a model of ecology and preserved nature, a world park.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 346 ~    21 June 1995

The UN should publish a yearly comprehensive, well-structured report on military budgets and armed forces in the world.  Comparisons should be made with other main items in the budgets of nations.

For example, very few people in the world, including US citizens, know that even after the cold war US military expenditures in 1995 are equal to the total of all other US government expenditures for transport, education, housing, health, natural resources, international affairs, veterans, outer-space, justice, social services, government in general, salary insurance, economic development, energy, agriculture and trade.  There must be something staggeringly wrong with that.
