[GMW #3147] Governments Should Inspire Music And Pay For Music Instruments For Each Child


[GMW #3147] Governments Should Inspire Music And Pay For Music Instruments For Each Child

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3547 ~
From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):


I think that governments of all countries should inspire music and pay for instruments for each child. I say this because music helps people find their inner selves and gives them a reason to live and keep our world alive.

Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
I also learned that Benjamin Franklin did something similar to copying great author's words: he learned by heart some beautiful sentences by great writers. A few weeks later he tried to express the same thought in writing and then compared the result with the original text.

WORD FOR THE DAY
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.
~ Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

[GMW #3146] Have Two US Presidents - Good People - Who Lead America To Peace With The World


[GMW #3146] Have Two US Presidents - Good People - Who Lead America To Peace With The World
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3546 ~

From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):

Why does America have only one President when they could have two? If we had two Presidents they could put their heads together to try and solve problems. They could share their money to get the results they want. What we could do is pray and hope they are good people and will not lead the US to warfare.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
I approached the same Literature Professor**
one day and said to him:
"I come from Alsace-Lorraine and our teachers there tell us that we will never be able to write a beautiful French, because we are bilingual."

He answered: "Do not believe such rubbish. Follow my advice: select a great author whom you like and copy every day, very slowly, ten lines from his writings. Read once in a while the texts you have copied. I guarantee you that within six months you will write his style."
He was right. I later did the same for German and English and kept preciously the notebooks to refresh my style in these languages.

** See "Of Good Teachers", in Chapter I of "The Need for a Global all Humanity Education"

WORD FOR THE DAY
The unthankful heart...discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!

[GMW #3145] To Make Positive Changes Rich Should Live Like The Poor For Six Months


[GMW #3145] To Make Positive Changes Rich Should Live Like The Poor For Six Months
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3545 ~
From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):

Every rich person in the rich countries who think that they are so great should go and live for three to six months in a poor country and live like the poor and then come home and do something about it.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
When I was a refugee student at a college in the city of Lyon, a famous professor of literature gave us to write an essay on "natural style". We all failed.

He then explained to us with a story what he expected: at the Court of Louis XIV there was a Marquis who, when he was invited to a Court reception, spent hours in front of a mirror to arrange the folds of his jabot - a large neck garment of lace. When he arrived at the Court, everybody exclaimed: Monsieur le Marquis, comme votre jabot est naturel", how natural your jabot is!"

It is the same with style.

[GMW #3144] Elections With All Campaign Money For Planting Trees And Giving Money To The Poor


[GMW #3144] Elections With All Campaign Money For Planting Trees And Giving Money To The Poor
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3544 ~
From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):


The huge money spent on electoral campaigns should be saved and used to plant trees, to avoid cutting trees and to give money to the poor. There should only be the elections.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
Two of the most important events in my life were circumstances when I had nothing to do. In 1946, after the war I was once sitting in a very slow train without any passengers and without anything to do or to read, not even a newspaper or a book. I then remembered the announcement at the University of Strasbourg of a prize offered by the United Nations Association of France to the student who would write the best essay on world government. I thought that this was addressed to me, composed it in my mind and typed it when I arrived home. It won the prize which opened to me the doors of the United Nations!

In 1964, during a UN conference in India, I was sitting in a bus to Agra in the evening, without lights, for several hours. I remembered a beautiful Hindu girl dressed in a magnificent Saree I had seen at a Rest House where we had been served tea. Having nothing to do, I dreamt that I interrupted my trip, stayed at the Rest House, fell in love with her and married her. I wrote a novel, Sima, Mon Amour, (Sima, My Love), which was published and received a French literary prize and opened to me the doors as a writer.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Even if you have a lot of work to do, if you
think of it as wonderful, and if you
feel it as wonderful, it will
transform into the energy of joy and fire,
instead of becoming a burden.

The Practice of Dzogchen

[GMW #3143] Create A United Nations Youth Organization


[GMW #3143] Create A United Nations Youth Organization
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3543 ~
From Adrian O'Barr, one of our grandchildren
(10 years old):


Youth is never asked for its opinion. UNICEF should be extended to youth in a United Nations International Children's and Youth Organization (UNICYO) or a United Nations Youth Organization should be created.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 14 Of Writing
Some day, if excerpts from my many volumes of correspondence are published, they will be my main contribution to humanity and will illustrate what one person can do just by writing letters.
