Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1210 ~
2 November 1997

If outer space beings would visit our planet they would ask us what we call it. We would answer: planet Earth, from the old Germanic goddess Eartha, and also Gaya, from the Greek belief that the Earth is a nebula, Goddess Gaya, which became the Earth.

They would comment: that is beautiful but from what we see around us you should change its name to planet Business and Marketing.

Our comment: well, this was thought of also by the Romans who called it planet Pluto (wealth) and planet Mammon (the God of money).

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1209 ~
1 November 1997

When I told this idea,
to compile a collection of visions of earthly paradise in human literature and visionary political science, to Barbara she said that she had the same idea, living here in the paradise of nature of Costa Rica, and that she started to write down a view of the achievement of individual paradise. Some of the elements she mentioned were:

no luxury
meditation
absence of trauma
absence of desires
absence of rat-race
absence of disturbances

I am anxious to see the result. She is also thinking of ordering T-shirts for gifts, with these words:

Life is a miracle
The Earth is a paradise

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
What a paradise on Earth it will be when no one will hate anymore!
What a wonderful peaceful, love-capable world it will be when all governments will have adopted this same provision in their constitution:

"Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized."
Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan,
November 3, 1946

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1207 ~30 October 1997

Since business has gotten out of gear with the evolution of this planet, I suggest that business organize itself as quickly as possible to review the situation and to try to find adequate answers to it. In idea 557 I proposed that business should be requested to hold a World Conference on Proper Earth Government through the Free Market System. Perhaps the International Chamber of Commerce should change its name into International Organization of Business and hold such a conference or a series of smaller conferences, including regional ones, to bring forth much needed answers and changes in the business world. It might prevent a major world economic crisis, unavoidable if business continues on the same course, as was pointed out by Mr. Tachi Kiuchi, Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Electrical, in a keynote address to the World Futures Society in July 1997.

Instead of, or with precedence over stock markets, I would like to see everywhere in the world:
peace markets
love markets
happiness markets
good actions markets
philanthropy markets
In each of these markets there would be daily or frequent reports like, for the stock markets, on the best and biggest actions in the world and in nations by governments, individuals, families, the wealthy, corporations, organizations, religions, etc.

[GMW #2352] For A Better World Write Down Ideas and Dreams & Create Idea-Banks in All Organizations

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1202 ~
25 October 1997

I recommend that all current and former officials of the United Nations and of its specialized agencies and world programs write down their ideas and dreams for a better world. The UN and its agencies should publish these ideas for the year 2000. More generally there should be idea-banks in all world agencies.

Volume II Chapter 9 - Of Spirituality - Annex - My Spiritual Journey
I hear often people say: "I am proud to be a US citizen", or "a Frenchman", or "a German", etc. But I can count on my fingers the number of people who say: "I am proud to be a human being, a member of the human family, a world citizen." Can't we ever get our loves, our allegiances straight? How many centuries more will it take? And by that time it might be too late.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
ANNEX - after Idea 1200 (Continued)
I would recommend lifting of the UN debates from reforms leading to impotency to debates at obtaining a proper government of our highly delicate perishable planet.

The most concrete, immediate help by the World Federalists would be to support the proposals of the European Parliament of 8 February 1994, especially "that consideration be given to the possibility of setting up a Parliamentary Consultative Assembly within the UN" (text follows).

I wish you a very successful, world assisting Montreux conference and assure you of my continued, enthusiastic, unreserved support.

Yours in peace and world citizenship,
Happy anniversary

Former UN Assistant Secretary General
One-dollar-a-year Chancellor of
the UN University for Peace


Resolution of 8 February 1994 of the European Parliament
on the Role of the Union within the United Nations
and the problems of reforming the UN

International organization and conferences
United Nations and specialized agencies

Adopted by Parliament on 8 February, though believing that the duties of the UN should remain the prevention of war and aggression, the promotion of collective security and the peaceful settlement of disputes, Parliament emphasized the need for rapid and efficient reform of the organization, updating its aims and improving its working. Parliament also considered the Union's involvement in the work of the Untied Nations and its specialized agencies inadequate.

It saw a vital need to define precisely and unambiguously the principles on which decisions on UN intervention were based, place peace-keeping units under the sole responsibility of the UN Secretary-General, change the rules governing the distribution of humanitarian aid, recognize the universal validity of the right to intervene on humanitarian grounds and provide the UN with the human, financial and technical resources needed to implement its decisions effectively.

Parliament also suggested that the General Assembly could be more closely associated with the decisions of the Security Council, which should be made to reflect more accurately the realities of the modern world. It argued that once all the necessary institutional steps had been taken for the establishment of a common foreign and security policy, consideration should be given to granting the Union the status of full member of the General Assembly and a permanent seat on the Security Council.

Parliament also called for the setting-up, under the auspices of the UN, of an International Environment Court and a World Environment Agency, of which the European Environment Agency would be the regional branch. It also wanted indigenous peoples to be better represented at the UN and consideration to be given to the possibility of setting up a Parliamentary Consultative Assembly within the UN.*

*January 1998: these very important recommendations from the peoples' representatives of 16 European countries at the European Parliament have received little, if any attention. They should be placed officially on the agenda of UN reform.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love
I was born with a deep spirituality. When I was a child I looked at the stars, at the moon, at nature and at the whole Creation as miracles. I also considered human life to be a miracle. We spoke German in Alsace-Lorraine at the time and I used to say: "Das Leben ist göttlich, life is divine." I used this word because it was the biggest adjective I could find.
