Robert Muller Radio Interview

Broadcast 30 October 2005

(Some excerpts.)
My sign for the world is: Humans - never loose your hope.

I am a positive and optimistic man. The religions are working together to make a world spirituality organization --- we will talk together …. study …. inspire each other to re-in-store a global spirituality.

How the University for Peace came into being.
All cooperations will unite in a global cooperative to preserve nature and humanity.

How China became a member of the United Nations.

How to reform the United Nations.

… We should have a second United Nations. …I will continue to fight for a basic reform of the United Nations. And if the United Nations is not reformed I will recommend that the European Union which has now so many countries from even outside of Europe that the European Union should become the World Union. And that the United Nations should be left aside in a secondary condition. We can not continue in that way. … reform … the countries can do it. There is no doubt about it.

…. One thing that always has been an impediment is that nobody during all these years intended to even speak about the reform of the UN. And this year for the first time all governments around the world have agreed that we should discuss the reform of the UN. So that is big . The wonderful ideas … can become discussable. …

We have to continue until it works. Humanity has lived so long in isolation from each other, in disrespect from each other, in wars against each other, religious wars, national wars.

It was a mess! … Second world war which cost 30 million people At long last they created a United Nations. They made it as weak as possible. But now the time has come where we must strengthen it.

And I continue to write my books. … re-publication of my book Most of All They Taught Me Happiness in which I show how happiness should be obtained in every country on earth.

Render others happy, proclaim your joy, Do not listen to promises, do not wait for a better world. … Switch on and keep on the positive buttons within yourself … meditative, smile, laugh, … dance … sing …

I will continue. I want to live as long as possible. … I will continue to do this in order to come forth with ideas and with the proclamation that we need a new type of world

World war II .. could have been avoided if there had been unity among nations.

I would bet and I have stated this time and again. There will never be a world war anymore on this planet. That is out.

They do not dare. Now it is at lower levels. It's inside countries and its in places like Iraq where the United States continues to give a life to the militaries. And that will disappear too. There is no doubt.

We can not afford wars and things of this sort. That is obsolete.

Let us make paradise earth.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1486 ~    5 August 1998

Humanity has won some great victories during its history:
it has won against slavery
    "            "    colonialism
    "            "    racism
    "            "    apartheid
    "            "    discrimination of women
    "            "    discrimination of indigenous people
Out of these victories, the last five were won under UN leadership.

I propose that we engage vigorous action on the following:
violence in all its forms
militarism
armaments
extreme poverty
Earth destruction
corruption
excessive materialism and overconsumption
religious fundamentalism
extreme national sovereignty
lack of ethics
I am sure that humanity can win all these victories within a few decades.

Nothing is impossible for the human species if it decides so.  And we have gained a lot of experience!

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1485 ~    4 August 1998

The more I work on these 2000 ideas the more I am convinced that this would be a great method to solve many world problems: come up with concrete, progressive ideas in innumerable fields. 

I suggest that the UN and each of its 32 specialized agencies and world programs should have at least one official, if not a small unit attached to its Secretary or Director General to collect, encourage, develop and inspire ideas.  This would represent a network of 32 officials in the UN system producing at the highest level new, bold, much needed ideas. 

Perhaps some day idea persons will also become a new category of profession in employment statistics!

Restaurant Chain Displaced By Students

Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves -- and be free.

- Cesar Chavez -

Restaurant Chain Displaced By Students

When a 1,300-outlet fast-food chain announced plans to open a branch on the campus of the University of California Berkeley, a group of students protested. Given the nature of the city's resonance with local, seasonal and organic food, this wasn't a surprise. However, the students not only defeated the chain but also took their victory one step further by raising $100,000 to replace the fast-food joint with a student-run co-op carrying fresh, local, healthy, sustainable, and fairly produced food that would be sold at affordable prices. As if that weren't enough, the students have even started an organization to train students nationwide how to open their own campus food co-ops. { read more }

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1484 ~    3 August 1998

I wish that UNESCO or the International Labor Organization would begin to publish statistics of employment in peace service. 

I have signaled that there is only one world servant per 100,000 inhabitants of the planet, compared with 556 militaries. 

When I returned from the French Resistance after World War II my father asked me what I wanted to do with my life.
I answered: work for peace so that my children and grandchildren will not see the horrors I saw in this war. 
He shrugged his shoulders and said: "There are no peace jobs in this world.  You can forget it." 

Well, fate and a good essay on world government opened to me the doors of the United Nations and an entire adult life devoted to peace. 

I think the time has come to have more peace professions and jobs at all levels of society.  It should be a new category in world and national employment statistics.

~ Idea 1483 ~    2 August 1998

Another way to reduce youth unemployment and increase world cooperation would be to create or increase very substantially youth internships in the United Nations and in its 32 specialized agencies and world programs. 

Again this could be financed by a reduction of military and armaments expenditures. 

I was glad to learn that the Canadian government earlier this year developed a Youth International Internship Program as part of its Youth Employment Strategy.  Funding is provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, and other departments to support the placement of recent graduates from colleges and universities in International Internship Programs. 

Youth, nations and world cooperation would gain enormously from them.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1482 ~    1 August 1998

I think more and more that with the problem of unemployment, especially of young people, the question of volunteer services inside and between nations should be taken much more seriously, not as a side issue but as a central one. 

Why not indeed have vast numbers of young people in social, health, environmental and other services employed and paid by governments as volunteer servants?

The funding could come from reduced military and armaments expenditures.  I suggest that a world conference on volunteer services be held by the United Nations or the International Labor Organization to study the vast potential of that subject and how it could be best organized. 

I could well see volunteer services promoted world-wide under a new United Nations Volunteer Agency.  Foreign volunteer aid could perhaps become as substantial as foreign financial aid. 

Years ago I obtained the creation of a UN World Food Program to prevent that surplus food crops be burned in the rich countries and be sent instead to hungry people and refugees in the poor world.  It became the biggest international aid program. 

I would like to see something similar created for unemployed, young people, a World Volunteer Program which would also create more international friendships and solidarity. 

Why not?  There should be at least as less unemployment and wasted human talent as there are now no longer any wasted, burned surplus food crops.  The latter have completely disappeared from this planet.

Some of the greatest turning points in my life were when I had nothing to read, nothing to do, nothing to watch, either in a prison, or in an empty train compartment, or in a dark bus during the night.

My love for life and some of my books were born from such moments.

~ Idea 1481 ~    31 July 1998

Tourism is unfortunately becoming a destructive human activity. 

Most people from wealthy countries should choose to stay at home instead of coming by the thousands to Costa Rica to see a sane and healthy natural country, a jewel of preserved nature, but now affected by luxury hotels, increased transportation, imports of luxury foods and replacement of local fruit juices by a colossal marketing of Coca Cola and other soft drinks.

I begin to see a rather black future for Costa Rica if this continues.

The same way as we must be careful about what we consume as foods, we must be no less careful about the intake of liquids which represent two-thirds of our physical body. 

The notion of healthy liquids is rapidly becoming as important as that of healthy foods. 

We must similarly be careful about the consumption of ideas, news and cravings served to us by the media and advertisement. 

The notion of healthy media must and will soon become as important as those of healthy foods and liquids.

Hello: I am sending photos from Anoo School in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. I am in the final steps of converting the school to the World Core Curriculum.

Anoo is a public school but privately funded for children too poor to pay for public school. There are 130 students in grades one through seven. I took these photos last week when I spent time there with the teachers and students in the conversion. You see the students sitting on the floor as they usually do. The two upper grades have benches sand seats, the rest sit on the floor.

They are a happy and enthusiastic group with lots of potential if given the chance. They have few resources which is one thing I am working on in implementing the WWC. I talked to the student body about being a sister school with a school in Greece. They were excited and enthusiastic about that. I hope one of your schools might be interested.
Love. Richard

~ Idea 1479 ~    29 July 1998

Given the interdependence between economics and ecology, often pointed out in these 2000 ideas, the UN could perhaps give the good example by merging its Department of Economic Affairs with the UN Environment Program into a Department of Ecology and Economics or Ecolonomics.  Nations should then follow that example.

The parrot, the dog, the cat, all animals say to us with their eyes:
"If you do something nice to me, I will love you and be nice to you.  If you hurt me, I will dislike you and hurt you too."

We would be well advised to listen to these oracles of nature.  They tell us a monumental truth which applies to all humanity, nations, individuals and living creatures.
