[GMW #2936] How Would You Govern Earth


[GMW #2936] How Would You Govern Earth Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3330 ~
Another idea would be for the International Association of Mayors to put this question to all its members: "How would you govern the Earth if you were her Mayor or Mayoress?"

I similarly love the Hindu concept of Trikaldarshi:
one who is able to live in the past, in the present and in the future.

Humans are the only species which can do that.

We are very advanced cosmic beings: we try to comprehend the time dimension of the universe through paleontology, archaeology, history, current knowledge and futurology. Each human group tends to do that from the individual family to humanity.

As a cosmic unit of perception, I can derive much happiness from my own trikaldarshism as well as from the trikaldarshism of the human society.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness.
It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

[GMW #2935] As Woman Mayoress Of The World, What Would You Do


[GMW #2935] As Woman Mayoress Of The World, What Would You Do Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3329 ~
Barbara wants to run for Mayoress of Santa Barbara since a beautiful neighboring community where she lives now called Goleta located in a magnificent nature will be annexed to Santa Barbara. I said to her, "Yes, but you should rather think of running for Mayoress of the World. Why don't we start a series of dialogs in which I would ask you, 'As woman Mayoress of the World, what would you do?'" This could be an interesting contribution to the solution of our world's problems. Mayors are closer to the people and to the Earth than far away governments in their capitals. Such a book Mayoress of the World, could be a useful complement or improvement of what I wrote in my novel First Lady of the World in which a woman becomes Secretary General of the United Nations.

I love the Hindu concept of Trilokonath: one who is able to live on three planes - the plane of inner life, of outer life and the life above, the heavenly, cosmic, angelic or spiritual life. This is the cosmic, divine characteristic of us humans: we can aggrandize ourselves from our inner and daily life to the totality of humanity, of the planet, of the universe and of infinity. It applies to any group which has an inner, an outer and a spiritual, cosmic life. To participate in these lives aggrandizes our own personal lives.

[GMW #2934] Identify All Global Problems & Ways To Resolve Them


[GMW #2934] Identify All Global Problems & Ways To Resolve Them Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3328 ~
Having been invited as one of the speakers at a UNESCO conference on creating a Common Framework for Ethics in the 21st Century I read in their basic document that, "The participants of a first meeting in Paris identified eight world problems while Aurelio Peccei, the founder of the Club of Rome counted twenty-seven. The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potentials of the Union of International Associations in Brussels has identified 12,203 world problems put forth in international journals and in the documents of some 20,000 international non-profit organizations."

It reminded me that a few years ago the Union of International Associations, of which I am an advisory member, asked its members what new subjects they could study. I answered that a project could be to draw a list of international and global problems. Hardly did I imagine that they would do it and identify so many of them. But they went an excellent step further by showing the existing potentials of solving them.

I do not want life to have a meaning, I know that it has a meaning, a tremendous one!

[GMW #2933] Rethink Earth's Economic System - Ending Over Advertising, Over Production


[GMW #2933] Rethink Earth's Economic System - Ending Over Advertising, Over Production Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3327 ~
We are beginning to hear of over-consumption as a problem in the rich countries parallel to over-population in the poor ones. But how about over-production which precedes over-consumption and is promoted by over-marketing and over-advertisement? The whole economic system of this planet must be seriously rethought.

Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
Life is our most precious gift, treasure, capital, belonging, wealth, stock, worth, asset, jewel, miracle, etc. Nothing can equal it.

WORD FOR THE DAY
What we would like to do is
change the world -- make it a little simpler for people
to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves
as God intended for them to do.

[GMW #2932] Increasing Global Peace Consciousness


[GMW #2932] Increasing Global Peace Consciousness Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3326 ~
It also occurred to me that the consciousness of global peace is very recent. It was born internationally only with the League of Nations which did not survive. But the United Nations survived and grows despite the hostility of blind, retarded elements.

Could it be that disarmament, demilitarization and the denuclearization of this planet could have the same fate?

In that case humanity would save 800 billion dollars of wrong expenditures each year, with which all urgent problems on this planet could be solved.


Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
How strange that not many people are interested in the most stupendous, most miraculous, most unique, most fascinating treasure on Earth: their own life and being. Try to understand your physical, mental, sentimental, spiritual and total life, and you will be astonished beyond belief. This should be taught in all schools of the world as it is in the schools which bear my name.
