For example, being beset by unemployment of many young people, why not create a European Volunteer Peace Service. The money for it would be taken from the military budgets. Such service in poor countries could be in lieu of military service. Young Europeans working together in the rest of the world would begin to feel proud as Europeans and would get closer to becoming the world citizens of tomorrow. Why not also revive the idea of a Conference to create a European army as Churchill and my compatriot, Robert Schuman from Alsace-Lorraine, wanted to do in the year 1991 when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs of France? Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude -from My Spiritual Journey The first surprise I had at the United Nations was that they had a meditation and prayer room and that the meetings of the General Assembly started with a minute of silence for prayer or meditation. I said to myself: "This is wonderful. That is exactly what we should do when we meet among nations and people: we should invoke spirituality to fully understand what we are doing and pray for good results."

[GMW #2366] A World Party of Humans Whose Rights

[GMW #2366] A World Party of Humans Whose Rights, Participation and Needs Are Not Satisfactorily Heard Friday 6 January 2012, Editor: Easy | RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | NEW Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500 ~ Idea 1235 ~ 27 November 1997 I sincerely hope, I pray that entire groups of humans whose rights, participation and needs are not satisfactorily heard in the United Nations, in regional organizations and national governments will submerge these institutions with numerous, concrete ideas as we move to the year 2000 and a new century and millennium. I am thinking in particular of youth, mothers, indigenous people, the poor and the unemployed of the world. I do not know why no one has created a world party of the poor. It should have been done at the UN Copenhagen world conference on poverty, as I had recommended. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude -from My Spiritual Journey When the war was over and I returned home, I learned that my father had spent several months in prison because I had escaped from the Germans. He asked me what I was going to do with my life. I replied: "I will work for peace. I do not want my children and grandchildren to see the horrors I have seen in this war." He said that there were no peacemakers on this planet and that I would lose my time. But during my doctorate of law studies at the University of Strasbourg I participated in a French essay competition on the subject "What do you think of world government?" I won the essay which led to an internship with the new United Nations in an abandoned war factory near New York City. I was hired as an official and stayed with the UN for the rest of my life.

[GMW #2365] World Mountain Agency Vital Role

This reminds me of my idea in which I say how wonderful it would be to have a Himalayan Forum, an Andes Forum, a Rocky Mountains Forum, an Alps Forum as we have the Arctic Forum conceived by governor Walter Hickel of Alaska. The mountain areas of our planet merit the creation of a World Mountain Agency considering their vital role in weather formation, water sources, forest cover, health areas and places of prophecies closer to God. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude -from My Spiritual Journey Then came World War II. We were refugees twice. The Nazis occupied us. I had many adventures because I did not want to serve in the German army. I experienced German prison. I was a partisan, a member of de Gaulle's mountain fighters in France. I saw the most horrible acts between two white, highly civilized countries. There was no spirituality in all that. But there was an incident which I have never forgotten: we had captured a group of French people who had collaborated with the Germans. They were condemned to death. When they were taken to their place of execution in the woods where they had been forced to dig their graves, I saw the men protest, throwing themselves on the ground, having to be pulled by their legs. But there was one woman who walked in peace, praying. When she was shot she was reciting the Hail Mary and her last words before falling into her grave were to forgive us. I finished her prayer and never forgot her example of deep spirituality.

Nothing prevents them for example to have weekly fire-side chats with people, great thinkers, Nobel and other Prize winners, reactionaries like Gary Davis, Helen Caldicott, Betty Williams etc. He is the servant general of the world. He can launch innumerable ideas, big ideas and small ones. People would begin to listen to him and implement them. They would have a greater love for the UN. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude -from My Spiritual Journey Then came education. French education prohibited religious education. This was due to the separation between church and state established by the Revolution against the Church leaders of France coalesced with the King and the aristocrats to exploit the people. In Alsace-Lorraine we got a separate statute allowing religious education, but it was voluntary, did not count for the grading and it was ridiculized by our professors. As a result I began to forget my spirituality, replaced by the values of French education. My deep love for nature however persisted as well as my respect for old people. I will never forget the death of my 80 years old grandfather at which I saw a Catholic Sister hold his hand and help him to die peacefully, praying with him and telling him about heaven.

I would call it the Supreme Council of World Care, would use it as such and have its proceedings televised world-wide for the people to see. I would appeal to the people to send to this world cabinet meeting their ideas, dreams, wishes and proposals for a better world. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude I would leave the house early in the morning to go to church and attend the mass at dawn, attended mostly by old people. There I was fascinated by the prayers, the playing of the organ by an old invalid and above all by the "elevation" of the host by the priest. That represented to me the consciousness and union with the heavens, the infinite, mysterious universe and God.

I had sent him my first five hundred Ideas for a Better World but he did not have as yet idea 690 in which I recommend the holding of a UN World Conference or the establishment of a world commission on The Ideal Earth and Humanity in the 21st Century. It may sound utopian but even if we do not get a clear answer we will learn a lot and move closer to it. Yes, Dr. Hagelin's book is the right book to publish on the eve of a new century and third millennium. We need more views on what a perfect government of this Earth and humanity should be at this crucial time of our evolution. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude I couldn't understand that just across the river there were people called Germans whom we as French people were supposed to hate. Why were these borders between humans? We looked alike and they had names like Muller and Schneider which were the names of my father and mother. Why could the sun, the clouds, the birds, the winds, the moon cross the border freely and I could not?

WORD FOR THE DAY People often say that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves. -- Salma Hayek Dearest Leland, What a blessed man you are and how blessed I am to receive your LET US BEGIN AGAIN TOGETHER below. I am forwarding your words to Good Morning World for our readers for their growth and change in the New Year! My friends and I are rereading Robert's books The Birth of A Global Civilization and New Gensis.. which you mentioned as the way to create a united and peaceful world. Love and may 2012 bring lasting peace and a world that works for all as we begin again together. Barbara Muller --- 25 December 2011 From: Rev. Leland Stewart, B.S.E., B.T. Unity-and-Diversity World Council, Inc.  LET US BEGIN AGAIN TOGETHER!!! We the People hereby declare our interdependence - our connection to the Source of All Life and to all life forms.  We affirm that diverse individuals, groups, and networks are necessary for the creative development of humanity; and that to strengthen UNITY-AND-DIVERSITY throughout the universe is our individual responsibility and privilege.    UDC's Declaration of Interdependence, Science and Spirituality, page 28  This is the most powerful season of the year.  It is evolving in its meaning from that of a celebration for Christians alone, to where it is a sacred time for everyone, for those of every faith who wish to share with other faiths, to those who have no specific faith but who sense the need for all of us to come together and support the emergence of a global civilization that serves the well-being of all! The Unity-and-Diversity World Council just held a Festival of Faiths last Sunday afternoon, December 18, at the Village Church and Interfaith Center in West Los Angeles.  There were fourteen co-sponsors of this event, and about the same number of faiths participated.  The purpose of the Festival was to celebrate the movement toward peace and justice, as well as the spirituality and uniqueness of each faith.  It also focused on a United Nations that serves the well-being and sacredness of planet earth and all its peoples. It is time now to look at the deeper meaning of this Season and what it implies for each of us.  Today, traditionally Christmas Day, is becoming the day of new Genesis, of new birth.  Dr. Robert Muller, the late assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, has a book entitled The Birth of a Global Civilization.  Having gone through a great deal of personal struggle with the conflicting forces at work in Europe during the early 20th century, Dr. Muller decided to devote his life to the United Nations in creating a united and peaceful world.  His task has become our task, and it begins with our inward looking and discovering our particular role in helping bring about that kind of world. The time between December 25th and January 1st needs to be one of inner reflection and decision-making, asking questions as to who we truly are and why we are here on planet earth at this time.  What can we personally do to help create peace and justice on earth as well as a sustainable environment.  How can we leave to our children and the world's children a planet based on a renewed sense of purpose and a global ethic that will sustain us into the unforeseen future?   New Year's resolutions are an important part of our growth and development.  They are meant to be kept, so that our life truly does change for the better.  Having reflected upon our present life, what changes will we make to see that our future is more alive, fulfilled, and worthy of preservation?  We are in a time of revolution; values are rapidly shifting, and the ways of democracy are being brought forth around the world.  Let us make this revolution a time of personal and planetary transformation.
