~ Idea 1021 ~ 27 April 1997
The next two great, global celebrations which should be held by humanity are: - in 1998, the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; (This has been done. The United Nations has declared 1998 Human Rights Year.) - in 2000, the world-wide celebration of our entry into a new century and millennium. It was my first idea of these 2000 ideas and dreams started on 11 July 1994. For the record I reproduce it here again. I wrote it twenty years ago for Earth Day 1977, at the suggestion of anthropologist Margaret Mead, who considered like Sigmund Freud that a global anthropology should be next on the agenda of world affairs. My Dream 2000 I dream that on 1 January 2000 The whole world will stand still In prayer, awe and gratitude For our beautiful, heavenly Earth And for the miracle of human life. I dream That young and old, rich and poor, Black and white, People from North and South, From East and West, From all beliefs and cultures Will join their hands, minds and hearts in an unprecedented, universal Bimillennium Celebration of Life. I dream That during the year 2000 Innumerable celebrations and events Will take place all over the globe To gauge the long road covered by humanity To study our mistakes And to plan the feats Still to be accomplished For the full flowering of the human race In peace, justice and happiness. I dream That the few remaining years To the Bimillennium Be devoted by all humans, nations and institutions To unparalleled thinking, action, Inspiration, elevations, Determination and love To solve our remaining problems And to achieve A peaceful, united human family on Earth. I dream That the year 2000 Will be declared World Year of Thanksgiving by the United Nations.* I dream That the third millennium Will be declared And made Humanity's First Millennium of Peace *The UN General Assembly approved this proposal on 20 November 1997. This dream has spread around the world in the following languages: French, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese and Dutch.
