From Robert

Let the good news be
incarnated in you

Proclaim your belief
In humanity
In our success
In our further transcendence
In our peace, justice
and happiness
In the construction of the
Planet of God

Think of it
Feel for it
Speak of it
Work for it

For all we think, all we feel,
all we say and all we do
Must not hinder, but help
The great design of God

Our Cosmic destiny
Our further ascent and evolution
Towards the permanent reign of
God on our miraculous planet."

When we speak of the environment, we should always keep in mind that we are really speaking of the future evolution of this planet, of Earth, of humanity and of all living species on it.  It is one of the most sacred challenges the human species has ever faced in all history.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1061 ~    6 June 1997

I have never understood why nations condemn murder as a crime and often punish murderers with the death penalty, when they themselves send their youth to kill other youth in wars and give them medals for it.  It is not called murder in that case, but duty or heroism.  I predict that in the next century this will change:

1. a new human right will be adopted, the sacred right not to kill another human being not even in the name of a nation;

2. in a universal declaration of human duties, it will be specified that nations have the duty to solve problems with other nations through peaceful means;

3. that any nation who breaks this duty, will be condemned by the International Tribunal for Crimes against humanity.

The great men and women of today who will be remembered in history are those who had the courage to be global world citizens and to build a new world order against all odds and obstacles, the same way as those who created the nation state especially the United States as a historic advance over their time are still remembered and celebrated today.

[GMW #2040] Exchanging Tourism For Ecological Preservation And Restoration Of Earth

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1057 ~    2 June 1997

Instead of spending colossal sums of money on ecological tourism to permit people from the rich countries to see the remaining tropical forests in Central America for example, it would be better to use that money to give survival incomes to the poor people of this region in payment for the reforestation they would do instead of being unemployed and of youth deserting rural lands to add to the overpopulation and misery of the cities.

It is fortunate that a number of well-off countries are beginning to give foreign aid for reforestation and that recipient governments channel that money to the poor.  The rich countries should also consider channeling such aid directly to indigenous communities around the world.  They are the best caretakers of nature and want to stay on their lands.  They can represent a substantial force for the good care and preservation of the Earth.

Only great love can create great beauty.

[GMW #2039] Making Benches Of Dreams Throughout The World - Never Consider Any Beautiful Thing Impossible

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1051 ~    27 May 1997

A case of implementation, Benches of Dreams (see ideas 67 and 324):

Recently I was invited to speak to a group of senior students of psychology at the University of California in Santa Barbara.  I noticed near the entrance of their building a well located bench to sit on and relax.  I took out of my pocket a Bench of Dreams stick-on and affixed it on the bench.


During my speech to the students I spoke of the psychological importance of dreams and said: I just noticed outside of your building that you have a bench with a label Bench of Dreams.  Well, sit on it and formulate your dreams.  You will be astonished by the psychological effects.

I told them also how I escaped from an arrest by the Gestapo during World War II by putting myself into a positive psychological mood and then came up with the idea of how to escape from them (see story in my book Most of All They Taught Me Happiness  and in the popular book Stone Soup for the World).

Among the comments of the students sent to me by their professor, was this rewarding one: "From now on, after having heard Mr. Muller, I will never consider anything impossible anymore."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
Creation is beautiful if we love it and ugly if we hate it.  Beauty is therefore a child of our mind.  We can be co-Creators with God of the beauty of our planet or co-Creators with the devil of its ugliness.

[GMW #2038] The Century Of The Earth And Of The Indigenous People With Joy

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1 to 500
~ Idea 1041 ~    17 May 1997

At the end of the conference the representatives of the Indigenous College of Saskatchewan in Canada, announced that they will convene a gathering of representatives of all indigenous peoples of the Americas, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego during the year 2000 to celebrate humanity's entry into the 21st century,  "which will be the century of the Earth and of the Indigenous People," they said.  The various cultures of the indigenous people will be represented in dances, music, ceremonials, etc.  It is conceived as an event of joy as we enter a new century.

I could not resist and played for them the Ode to Joy of Beethoven on my ten holes harmonica and distributed to them the text of my Dream 2000.

I also felt a sense of pride for having opened the doors of the United Nations, which had been closed for many years to the Hopi Indians, to deliver in the 1980's their prophecy on atomic arms, and for having obtained from the UN the celebration of the first International Year of the Indigenous People in 1993, followed by an International Decade from 1994 to 2004.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II Chapter 15 - Of Beauty and Art
The greatest beauty is the beauty of the whole universe. 

As living, conscious parts of that universe, we must love and celebrate that beauty, like a cell in our body contributes to the well-functioning, happiness and beauty of our whole being, we must contribute to the well-functioning, happiness and beauty of the whole humanity and of the Earth.

Good News of the Day:
In today's era of high technology and endless information, in a culture where cell phones, computers and the internet seem to infuse every corners of our lives, "79 percent of the people on our planet digitally are excluded," reveals Ashoka Fellow Rodrigo Baggio. Armed with the vision to empower low-income youth with computer skills, Baggio founded CDI: The Center for Digital Inclusion. Starting from one of the most dangerous, poverty-stricken communities of Brazil, Baggio and his team have spearheaded a technological and cultural transformation across 13 countries. Teens who were once headed for gangs and drugs have found new outlets for their energies: making videos about social issues. "I never thought I had a future in front of me," says Wanderson da Silva Skrock who, at fourteen, was dealing drugs. "I believe you can rescue someone, even from the very bottom," the now CDI teacher states. [ more ]

Offer to teach a skill to someone. You never know where the ripples might go.
