Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
12 December 1997
All heads of states, of great institutions and of firms should write a Testament to the 20th century, giving their views of what was right, successful and beneficial to humanity and to the Earth, what was erroneous, what were failures, what they regret not having done and what they recommend should be done and ideas to be implemented in the 21st century.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
We must open ourselves to every potential,
to everything we can be,
to the vast world out there,
to the heavens, to God and to eternity.

To be the vastest, the longest, the greatest,
the fullest living being in the universe,
serenely and gratefully,
that should be our purpose.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1248 ~
10 December 1997
In 1998 the world will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It will be a great occasion to review this essential field in human progress, its successes and failures, and the new vital human rights and Earth rights which should be considered. We must also take up for the first time human responsibilities and duties including our duties towards the Earth. I foresee that soon the UN Commissioner for human rights will become the Commissioner for Human Rights and Duties.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
During the war, I often heard my father exclaim:
"I promise to God that when this war is over,
I will never complain again as long as I live."

But he did not keep his promise.
He was only human.

A poem should not mean. But be.  -- Archibald MacLeish

Inspiration of the Day:   "I started writing this terrible, I call it an awesomely bad, novel. I was going out with this French woman and I told her about it. I told her 'This book is just juvenile. I don't know how to do this.'   She said, I have a friend of the family, a writer, and maybe he can help you with it. I agreed with that. So the next thing I know, I meet this little French guy with the glasses.   He says to me, 'I don't want to read your manuscript, but from what you've been telling me, it seems to me you need to get control over the language. So it might be good for you to read poets. Read poets and try to get control over the language.'   That person, I didn't know who he was at the time, turned out to be Jean Paul Sartre."   --Basketball player turned renowned poet, Quincy Troupe,  eloquently describes his one-of-a-kind journey.

~ Idea 1246 ~
8 December 1997
As we enter the next century and millennium, it is absolutely indispensable for nations to consider a new system of financing the United Nations. The more advanced and more effective method of financing of the European Union should serve as a model.

Being old, and losing my eyesight, I might say:
"O God, why do you take away my eyesight?"

Or:
"Dear God, thank you for having
allowed me to see so well for so many years."

~ Idea 1245 ~
7 December 1997
The next session of the Interparliamentary Union should be held in Costa Rica at the seat of the University for Peace and deal with the following subjects:

- Parliamentarianism and democracy in the 21st century

- Creation of a UN Consultative Parliament

- Establishment of a yearly world budget including proper financing of international and regional institutions, actions and projects for the benefit of all humanity and the Earth;

- Equitable taxation for all people of the world and elimination of international tax evasion.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 - Of Gratitude
At least once in a while, if not often we should
thank every organ of our body,
our heart, our brain, our lungs,
the trillions of little cells who
faithfully, day and night,
give us such wonderful service.

They need, they are thirsty of some
encouragement to function well and
not to fall sick or give up.

Gratitude might be
a very important factor of good health.

Why not try it.
It is so simple.

[GMW #2381] Yearly Peace Price to Country Achieving Highest Record of Peace and Non-Violence


Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1243 ~
5 December 1997
The Japanese foundation created in the memory of Ryoichi Sasakawa who gave me a million dollars for the construction of the United Nations Peace University in Costa Rica should establish a yearly Sasakawa Peace Prize given by the University for Peace to the country having achieved the highest record of peace and non-violence.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 9 - Of Spirituality - Annex - My Spiritual Journey
But there is still so much to do. It is not even governments who are responsible for the current disorders in the world. It is the lack of spirituality, the lack of respect for God, for His miraculous creation which I loved so much already as a child. Please, dear readers, be the active defenders of these miracles so that we can at long last become the paradise of peace, beauty and happiness God and all religious leaders want us to become, a true jewel in the universe. And the progress I have seen achieved since the horrible World War II gives me good hope, even the conviction that we will succeed.

Non-Violence And Enlightened Self Controlled Individuals [Full article by Pancho Ramos here.]   "I do not want to be governed except by myself."  “Political power, in my opinion,  cannot be our ultimate aim. ...  "Representatives will become unnecessary if ... life becomes so perfect as to be self-controlled.   It will then be a state of enlightened  [individuals]... in which  each person will become their own ruler. They will conduct themselves in such a way that  their behavior will not hamper the  well being of their neighbors.   In an ideal State there will be no political institution and therefore no political power.” 
“The very right to live is only afforded to us if
we fulfill our duty as citizens of the world.

Nationalism is not the highest concept.
The highest concept is a world community.”

[GMW #2380] World Public Administration Agency


Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1242 ~
4 December 1997
As a progress towards a better administration of planet Earth (planetics) I recommend that an autonomous World Public Administration Institute or Agency be created similar to the European Institute for Public Administration which would become one of its regional arms with others being created on other continents of the world.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 9 - Of Spirituality - Annex - My Spiritual Journey
This is where we stand. I have offered my views, hopes and proposals in many writings. One of them describes my vision of a spiritual world in the year 2013, twenty years after the Chicago session. Another is a chapter on the UN and Spirituality in my Testament to the UN. The excerpts on the subject of religion and spirituality from my 5000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World count almost 100 pages. They could be published as a book of its own.

But there is still so much to do. It is not even governments who are responsible for the current disorders in the world. It is the lack of spirituality, the lack of respect for God, for His miraculous creation which I loved so much already as a child. Please, dear readers, be the active defenders of these miracles so that we can at long last become the paradise of peace, beauty and happiness God and all religious leaders want us to become, a true jewel in the universe. And the progress I have seen achieved since the horrible World War II gives me good hope, even the conviction that we will succeed.
