[GMW #2678] Annual Counting Of The Decrease Of Trees Destroyed For Various Products


[GMW #2678] Annual Counting Of The Decrease Of Trees Destroyed For Various Products Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3071 ~   

Someone — the UN preferably — should publish world statistics giving an idea of the number of trees which are being destroyed each year on planet Earth to produce:

newspapers
books
magazines
documents
stationary
paperbacks
greeting cards
packaging
paper
health and hygiene, etc.

The total and sub-totals would probably be staggering.

Volume II  Chapter2  Of Happiness
All techniques and methods of happiness have one common element:  they concentrate your attention on happiness, and as a result you will find happiness often by means other than those recommended to you.

I am a Chef and started cooking 30 years ago in France. I moved to the States 20 years ago. Everything we purchased in France was from markets. The fruits and vegetables were seasonal and naturally organic, all dairy was raw and you could leave eggs out for a week.

People were healthier and happier.

It is so frustrating to see how food has changed over the past 30 years, we really do eat crap now. We do not eat food anymore, we eat chemicals which are forced upon us without knowing and with very little regulation. According to studies, 1 in 4 Americans will get some kind of food borne illness every year. More than 3000 die. What do you expect when the cattle are knee deep in manure, chickens who can't even get up in their feces, antibiotics in most animals and GMO crops growing on artificial fertilizers.

What part of that pictures do we not get? Big business certainly gets it! If the Twin Towers was terrorism, so is this. Just my $.02.

[GMW #2677] Using Indigenous Peoples Views, Ways To Love, Care For & Govern Earth



[GMW #2677] Using Indigenous Peoples Views, Ways To Love, Care For & Govern Earth
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3070 ~   

In an interview with the head of an Indigenous American Center at the International Radio for Peace I recommended:

1. The creation of a United Indigenous Peoples' Organization following the example of the United Religions Initiative.

2. The establishment of a World Commission of Eminent Personalities for the Indigenous Peoples to look into their lives, cultures, contributions, merits and fate.

3. To have the indigenous peoples come forth with their views on how the Earth should be loved, cared for and governed.

I was in a Gestapo prison during the war, but I was happy in that filthy goal, because I decided so.  Later I read this statement of Abdul Baha which confirmed my experience and more:

"I was in prison forty years - one year alone would have been impossible to bear - nobody survived that imprisonment more than a year!  But thank God, during all those forty years I was supremely happy!  Every day, on waking, it was like hearing good tidings, and every night infinite joy was mine.  Spirituality was my comfort, and turning to God was my greatest joy.  If this had not been so, do you think it possible that I could have lived through those forty years in prison?"

[GMW #2676] Ecological Consciousness Of Humanity To Preserve & Nurture Our Home - Earth



[GMW #2676] Ecological Consciousness Of Humanity To Preserve & Nurture Our Home - Earth
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3069 ~   

Humanity is acquiring an ecological consciousness, i.e. the consciousness of preserving, not killing the Earth, our home (Greek oikos, the home).

We must also acquire an anthropological consciousness (Greek anthropos, the human being), not letting humans be killed by militaries, armaments, starvation, epidemics, air and water pollution, pesticides, homicidal violence and the death penalty.

What would we say if we discovered in the universe a planet where they have militaries, trained and ready to kill each other?

Become a happiness activist, a teacher of happiness.  Put your happiness into action.

I only went out for a walk,
and finally concluded to stay out till sundown,
for going out, I found,
was really going in.

[GMW #2675] Reforestation - Planting A Fruit Tree For Each Child Born & Each Person's Death


[GMW #2675] Reforestation - Planting A Fruit Tree For Each Child Born & Each Person's Death Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3068 ~   

A tree, preferably a fruit tree, should be planted at the birth of every child on Earth.  It would be a great, beautiful contribution to the reforestation of our planet since every year 126 million children are born.

I have done it for my four children and nine grandchildren.

And why not do it also on birthdays instead of sending the millions of cards which cost entire forests of this planet, not to speak of gifts.

We should also plant trees at the death of our beloved ones because life will thus continue and their name will be preserved lovingly for a long time.

My greatest desire and efforts have always been to teach people and nations the art of peace and happiness.

[GMW #2674] Nurturing Children To Live Free Of Advertisements, Excess Money & Profits


[GMW #2674] Nurturing Children To Live Free Of Advertisements, Excess Money & Profits Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3067 ~   

The children and youth of today and tomorrow will be confronted all life long with such an all invading sophisticated world of marketing and advertisement that it is imperative that they be properly educated to save their personality and natural qualities and not become marketed, advertised beings, victims of what the money, profit crazy, capitalist society wants them to be and to do.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter2  Of Happiness
Surround yourself with books on happiness, with happy sights, with happy authors, with happy friends, with happy proverbs, with happy memorabilia, with happy projects.

[GMW #2673] Peace Comes From Love For Entire Humanity & Earth


[GMW #2673] Peace Comes From Love For Entire Humanity & Earth Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3066 ~   

My all encompassing World Core Curriculum of the tremendous knowledge humanity possesses today from the infinitely large to the infinitely small, of our whole planet, of the whole humanity, of the whole human being and of the passage of time from the infinitely past to the infinitely future is a menace to governments because for them the nation comes first, not the highest fulfillment of human life of which they should be proud.  The answer to peace is what Freud said to Einstein (Idea 1020) "We will have peace when the love for nation will extend to a love for the entire humanity and Earth."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter2  Of Happiness
All objects around us have a life, a meaning.  They embody some past, the life and soul of the person who made or possessed them.  They have cosmic vibrations as the Hindus say.  They are part of the cosmic order.  Therefore, surround yourself with objects which incorporate good human feelings and dreams.  That is the objective of art, of beauty, right meanings, feelings, etc.
