[GMW #2921] Addictionology - The Study & Science Of Addictions & How To Reduce Them



[GMW #2921] Addictionology - The Study & Science Of Addictions & How To Reduce Them
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3315 ~
Soon there should be a new field of study and science, an addictionology covering the vast, growing field of addictions. It should study scientifically the methodology and strategies of making people addicts how to reduce addictions. A World University on Addictions could render humanity a great service. Just to mention a few addictions:
- to drugs
- to smoking
- to alcohol
- to over eating
- to power
- to over work
- to excessive television
- to excessive buying
and there are many others.

From INTRODUCTION of PART V IDEAS 3401 TO 3500

Preface to a statement by a Coalition for the Children of the Earth
submitted to the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations

Dear Children,

When I was a small child I considered that to be alive was the most beautiful thing on Earth, a true miracle. I used the biggest word I could find and said that life was divine.

The grown-ups smiled at me when I said that. But when I looked out of my window I saw a border between France and Germany beyond which other people lived, enemies, and I was not allowed to cross that border. There were armies on both sides. But I saw the moon, the clouds and the birds overfly freely that border and I wondered why humans could be so wrong.

Well, the war came and made me become a refugee, a prisoner, a freedom fighter in the mountains. You cannot imagine all the horrors I saw done by humans to other humans. When the war was over, I decided to devote my life to peace. I am still doing it as Chancellor of the first University for Peace in one of the first demilitarized countries on this planet.

I am so happy that thanks to the Coalition for Children of the Earth, the children from all around the world will be given a voice and tell the grown-ups of the United Nations on its fiftieth anniversary what kind of world they want.

I wish that somewhere on this planet there were a United Nations of Children which would tell their elders what they should do and how they should manage this beautiful planet in peace, kindness, justice, love and happiness for all. Please consider it.

It could be located on the heavenly grounds of the University for Peace where from Rasur, the god of the indigenous children, prophecized to them that a civilization of peace will extend to the entire world. How happy I will be in my old age and in my grave knowing that you would work near me and fulfill the dream I had as a little boy.

I love you very much,

Robert Muller, Chancellor

[GMW #2920] We Need A Consumers Revolution Now


[GMW #2920] We Need A Consumers Revolution Now
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3314 ~

I saw an old man in Costa Rica who was offered Coca Cola. He tasted it and rejected it saying that it was medicine. When will the day arise when water will be again the drink of God and when humanity will avoid all the so-called soft drinks bubbling with carbon dioxide which we refuse to breathe through our lungs but accept to go to our stomach and leave traces of solid carbon on the lining of our intestines. We need a consumers' revolution.

In Latin America one is greeted in the morning with the words: Como amaneci? How did you wake up? I always answer: Amaneci I woke up. That alone is vital.

[GMW #2919] Military Killing Other Military Or Civilians Is A Homicide


[GMW #2919] Military Killing Other Military Or Civilians Is A Homicide Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3313 ~
In a letter of the apostle St. John regarding human relations he says: Whoever hates his brother is a homicide. Well, he goes much further than I who only says that a military who kills another military or civilians is a homicide.

Many indigenous people of the world greet each other with the words: "I am happy that you are alive." What a great, meaningful greeting this is!

WORD FOR THE DAY
I have the nerve to walk my own way,
however hard, in my search for reality,
rather than climb upon the rattling
wagon of wishful illusions.

[GMW #2918] Standardize Products & Services World-Wide

[GMW #2918] Standardize Products & Services World-Wide Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3312 ~
The colossal increase of products and services in all countries of the world speaks strongly for a comprehensive world-wide, orderly system of standardization. Given the close relations between standardization, economic development, international trade, transport, and marketing I recommend that the International Standardization Organization (ISO) be made a full specialized agency of the UN.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
The first thing we see when we meet another human being is that he is alive. Those who are sick and dying are out of sight in their homes or in hospitals, and those who are dead have been removed. Hence the supreme value for humans is life itself, not youth, not beauty, not intelligence, not prosperity. A poor, old, ugly living human has an immense advantage over a dead child, a dead beautiful woman, a dead wealthy, powerful man: he is alive.
Therefore, the great truth for us is not "I think, therefore I am", but "I live, therefore I am." "To be or not to be, that is the question."

[GMW #2917] Removing Excessive Nature-Impairing Advertisements


[GMW #2917] Removing Excessive Nature-Impairing Advertisements
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3311 ~
I dislike excessive nature-impairing advertisements. Typical examples are the enormous panels advertising cigarettes, alcohol and soft drinks in the magnificent nature of Costa Rica along some main traffic roads. I am astonished that youth and ecologists do not dismantle them.

We must absolutely convene a World Conference on Advertisement. This new gigantic modern profession which has a whole science, strategy, and elaborate methodologies must be reminded of ethics by governmental and legal actions.

In the meantime individuals can take some measures. For example the scale I use to weigh myself displays very visibly the name of the company which produced it. Why do I have to see that name every day for years? I covered it with a correction fluid. It disappeared beautifully and I do no longer have to see it anymore.

Dear reader, look around your home or apartment and see what advertisements you can get rid of. When I told it to Barbara, my wife, she did it immediately.

Never commit the mortal sin not to believe in life, not to love passionately the incredible miracle it is.

[GMW #2916] Plant A Fruit Tree When A Person Is Born & When They Die

[GMW #2916] Plant A Fruit Tree When A Person Is Born & When They Die Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3310 ~
Walking in our forest in Costa Rica I said to Barbara: these trees are superior to humans. How lucky they are. They receive their energy directly from the sun through their leaves and their food and liquids from the soil. They do not have to go to school, to study, to have a profession, to get dressed, to make money, to go to an office, to produce and consume so many things, to have a home, a car, go on tourism, go to a doctor, to a hospital, finish in an old peoples' home.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
The human journey on this planet in the universe is so fabulous that no one should ever tarnish it with hatred, injustice, falsehood, harming and unhappiness. Such a story commands unlimited respect, thanksgiving, wonder and joy. Wars and violence have no place on miraculous planet Earth. Help to make it Paradise Earth.
