[GMW #2708] Nurturing The Seventh Generation And Beyond With Out DeHumanizing Or DeNaturing


[GMW #2708] Nurturing The Seventh Generation And Beyond With Out DeHumanizing Or DeNaturing Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3101 ~
It is quite normal, quite human that we are immensely grateful for the discoveries of science and technology: e.g. electricity, heating, health, nutrition, transportation, longer lives.  All our 'natural' senses and organs: eyes, ears, hands, legs, brains have been extended immensely: eyes with telescopes, microscopes, television; ears with radio, telephone; hands with machines; legs with trains, cars and airplanes; brains with universities, computers, etc.

Only the 300 million indigenous people in 5000 tribes in 70 countries, had their doubts about it: what will be the effects of all that on the 7th generation to come (about 500 years)?

Well this question is beginning to arise in the western world too:

- the negative effects of automobiles and aviation contributing to 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the air every minute;

- the effects of better health in the poor countries which decreased the mortality of their children and produced an incredible population explosion, with far-reaching effects;

- television which is affecting the immemorial, natural relations between parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren;

- the sudden diminishing of the western population, less prone and capable of reproduction.

And what will be the long-term effects of computers, robotics, biological engineering, nano-technology, etc?

The time has come, in my view, to create a world agency or for UNESCO to look into the adverse effects of human innovations, sciences and technologies and their marketing on the natural characteristics of humans and their transmission through reproduction and genes over time.  Are we witnessing evolutionary progress or a dehumanization of humans, except for the indigenous and 'under-developed' peoples of this world?

This new emerging phenomenon must be looked into seriously by humanity.  The environmental crisis might be only a first signal of it.  The challenges might be much deeper, a truly evolutionary phenomenon on a unique life-endowed planet in an evolving universe.

[GMW #2706b] Life Exuberance, Inspiration For Further Evolution Not Superiority Over Nature & Others



[GMW #2706] Life Exuberance, Inspiration For Further Evolution Not Superiority Over Nature & Others
Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3099 ~
I:
Dear Earth, when I observe the wonderful, miraculous nature of Costa Rica I ask myself sometimes: why did you produce and allow the evolution of humans and their big brains which are now endangering nature with atomic missiles and power plants, wastes, armaments and thousands of different, damaging ways they call progress.  I will never understand that they let a species become extinct every five hours and still call themselves intelligent, superior, developing, progressing and constructive!  Why didn't you stop evolution with vegetation and animals, but not humans?

The Earth:
"Well, since my round body turning around the sun and receiving its energy has different climatic conditions I needed to produce microbes, crawling and flying insects, birds and animals to continue the life of nature according to season and location.  Costa Rica, where you live, has the most favorable conditions for life exuberance: its animals and humans were in proper harmony with my nature.

Humans in the hard and cold conditions of the northern climates had to develop 'intelligence', 'imagination', 'inventiveness', 'creativity', 'hard work' and 'progress' which went up to their head.  They considered themselves to be superior to all nature.  They then invaded the rest of the world and are now destroying me thoughtlessly, unintelligently and unnecessarily.  That is the story."

I:
But can't you stop them?  What do you do?

The Earth:
"Well, there are growing numbers of humans like you who are aware of the impending disasters and have become 'environmentalists', i.e. beings animated by the soul, the anima, the life forms and cycles of all life on my body and of my own life and functioning.  This is why I have brought you and others like you from the United Nations in a cold northern climate to Costa Rica's sunny exuberant nature to be part of my salvation and further evolution.  I expect you and many others like you to be the new, most advanced life forms on my surface, to be my miracle makers.  I also made sure that the Earth Council created by the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Conference on the Environment would be located in Costa Rica on the grounds of the UN University for Peace.  You will become the most important, inspiring place on my surface."

[GMW #2707] Ask Indigenous People To Value Nature With Their Prophecies & Opinions


[GMW #2707] Ask Indigenous People To Value Nature With Their Prophecies & Opinions Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3100 ~
Dear Earth,
You will be happy to hear that a group of ecologists, economists and geographers from twelve prestigious universities in three countries have come up with the value of the products of your nature: they estimate it at thirty-three trillion dollars a year, possibly as high as fifty-four trillion dollars while the total economic output by humans is only eighteen trillion dollars a year.  That means that while the average benefits per human on Earth from human activity is only three thousand dollars a year, the benefits from nature could be as high as nine thousand dollars.  Aren't you happy to hear that?

The Earth:
"Yes, I'm delighted that at long last someone has done that.  Could you ask the same people to go a step further and calculate the value of the total capital I represent and how that capital is diminishing each year as a result of destruction by humans while they rejoice at the increase of the capital in their banks, stock markets and safes?

They will make strange faces in their wealthy, arrogant skyscrapers when there will be no longer any clear air to breathe, clean water to drink and proper climates for humans to live in. 

Why instead of listening to economists and scientists don't you ask for the opinions, views, advice and prophecies of the indigenous people who are closest and most intimate with me?  They do not need to give dollar values to my natural products and to my nature.  It is funny to hear now that my nature is being evaluated in trillions of US dollars, one of humans' dismallest inventions!"

No matter how much wealth you have,
if you do not have the treasure of virtue,
it is of no use'.

The true riches is the
ever increasing spring of love
from which all virtues come.

[GMW #2705] World Days For Human Unity & Earth As A Primary Concern


[GMW #2705] World Days For Human Unity & Earth As A Primary Concern Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3098 ~
The following are International Days (I would prefer World Days) already proclaimed by the United Nations.

Earth Day
World Day of Water
World Press Freedom Day
World Environment Day
World Population Day
International Day of Peace
United Nations Day
World Food Day

These are a great progress toward human unity and the recognition of the Earth as a central, over-riding concern.

I recommend also more sentimental World Days:

a World Day of Happiness
... Kindness
... Love
... Smiling
... Generosity
... Thanksgiving
... Beauty
... Trees
... Flowers
... Animals
... etc.

It is good that we have already an International Week of Forgiveness but many more such weeks are needed.  The United Nations has also proclaimed a number of international decades such as the International Decades for the Handicapped and for the Indigenous People and now from 2001 to 2010 an International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence.

Volume II Chapter 2 Of Happiness
First you have to believe in happiness and then you will find it. 
It is first and foremost a question of faith, of decision.

In the measurement world,
we set a goal and strive to achieve it.

In the universe of possibility,
we set the context and let life unfold.
