Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 203 ~    29 January 1995

Migrations, pressures for migrations, opposition and obstacles to migrations have acquired such magnitude and will further grow that it is high time to convene a world conference on the subject.

I ended all my letters and notes to Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar with this Latin precept:
Nullus dies sine linea
Not a day without a line.
He once assured me that he had a pen and a writing pad on his night table to record the thoughts that came to him during the night.  These writings will probably be his most precious gift to humanity.

~ Idea 176 ~    2 January 1995

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the UN, the Center of Practical Studies of International Negotiations has launched an essay contest with a prize of 5000 dollars to the student, faculty member or professional who would submit the best essay on "Global government and the institutions with which the international system should equip itself to serve for the next fifty years." 

Please sit down, write the essay and send it to that Center before 24 April 1995, at 11 Avenue de la Paix, 1202 Geneva, Switzerland.

The office of Secretary-General of the UN is such a unique, vital function that I recommend to the incumbents to write down their thoughts, observations, world views, dreams, feelings and ideas as they come to them.

I urge them all to leave behind a Testament after completing their office.  I wrote My Testament to the UN, which was published.

Iris says, "Dear Mr. Muller,

I had the privilege of hearing you speak at one or more of the seminars sponsored by Lucis Trust many years ago. Your words have been an inspiration for me. Especially in regard to spirituality at the UN.

With all good wishes, sincerely, Iris.".

The UN Secretary-General should convene a group of experts to draw up the statutes of a World Foundation to which people and philanthropists from around the world would be able to contribute tax-exempt donations.

If only all heads of state and of world agencies jotted down a few of their philosophical thoughts, wisdom, perceptions, ideas, dreams and conclusions, as Dag Hammarskjöld did in his Markings, what a richer world it would be! 

They live in a much vaster world, with vaster duties and a vaster audience than any Socrates, Confucius, Marcus Aurelius or Lincoln.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 137 ~    24 November 1994

I recommend that all United Nations world conferences include an item on violence and non-violence. 

This should be the case of the World Social Summit in Copenhagen, the fourth World Women Conference in Beijing and the World Habitat Conference in Istanbul.

I learned that Benjamin Franklin learned from great writers:  he learned by heart some beautiful sentences by great writers.  A few weeks later he tried to express the same thought in writing and then compared the result with the original text.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 107 ~    25 October 1994

An idea of Barbara Gaughen is to hold before the year 2000 a World Conference on Ideas for a Peaceful and Better World in the 21st century and third millennium. 

It would probably be one of the most unusual and most useful conferences in human history.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 14 - Of Writing

When I was a refugee student at a college in the city of Lyon, a famous professor of literature gave us to write an essay on "natural style".  We all failed. 

He then explained to us with a story what he expected:  at the Court of Louis XIV there was a Marquis who, when he was invited to a Court reception, spent hours in front of a mirror to arrange the folds of his jabot - a large neck garment of lace.  When he arrived at the Court, everybody exclaimed:  Monsieur le Marquis, comme votre jabot est naturel", how natural your jabot is!"

It is the same with style.
*

I approached the same Professor* one day and said to him:

"I come from Alsace-Lorraine and our teachers there tell us that we will never be able to write a beautiful French, because we are bilingual."

He answered:  "Do not believe such rubbish. 

Follow my advice:  select a great author whom you like and copy every day, very slowly, ten lines from his writings. 

Read once in a while the texts you have copied.  I guarantee you that within six months you will write his style."

He was right.  I later did the same for German and English and kept preciously the notebooks to refresh my style in these languages.

WORD FOR THE DAY

Love wisdom, and she will guard you;
cherish her, and she will lift you high;

 if only you embrace her,
she will bring you honor.

She will set a garland of grace on your head and
bestow on you a crown of glory.

Proverbs 4:6-9

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 106 ~    24 October 1994

Out of a population of 5.6 billion humans on planet Earth, 15.3 million were born on a 24 October.  They should celebrate their birthday together with the United Nations, our first universal organization, and call themselves children of the United Nations.  The first person who promised me to do it was Janet Kirkpatrick of Corpus Christi in Texas during a visit of Elderhostels to the University for Peace.

I hope that Pope John Paul II during his second visit to the United Nations and address to the General Assembly of nations in 1995 will proclaim the urgency of a spiritual Renaissance of humanity.

Albert Schweitzer was once asked:
"Who were your best friends in your life?"
He answered sadly:
"It was the people who did not write to me."

My answer, in all honesty, would be:
"It was the people who wrote to me and aggrandized the scope of my understanding.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500


 ~ Idea 7 ~    17 July 1994

I recommend that for the celebration of the year 2000 the United Nations, each of its specialized agencies, each nation, each religion, each institution, each firm and all peoples will draw up:
- an inventory of their achievements and successes for a peaceful and better world;
- an inventory of their failures, mistakes, sins, and neglects;
- an inventory of their hopes, dreams and intentions.

As my life went on, my daily mail became ever more voluminous.  Sometimes in the evening, when tired, I throw some of it in the waste-basket.  But then in the middle of the night or early in the morning I fish it out and answer it, for it is a human brother or sister, another human miracle who wrote to me.
