[GMW #3279] Choose People's Democracy Over Moneycracy, Corporatcracy, Businesscracy


[GMW #3279] Choose People's Democracy Over Moneycracy, Corporatcracy, Businesscracy Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3679 ~
The US is becoming more and more a moneycracy, a corporatcracy, a businesscracy rather than a peoples' democracy. It should seriously re-examine itself if it wants to keep its democracy alive as a model for the world.

WORD FOR THE DAY
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure; but,
scattered along life's pathway,
the good they do is inconceivable.

[GMW #3278] Humanity Needs Straight Objectives, Ideas, Terminology
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3678 ~
Sustainable development?
How about unsustainable development?
The limits of growth?
How about the impossibilities of growth?
The gross national product?
How about the gross national destruction?
Humanity should get its objectives, ideas, terminology and futures straight.

How discouraged, how desperate, how tired the little cells of our body must feel to receive constantly new gushes of alcohol, nicotine and fat which prevent them from doing their job efficiently. In the end they give up and let the whole wonderful construct of our body disintegrate.

[GMW #3277] Act As If Souls & Spirituality Has Surpassed Materialism


[GMW #3277] Act As If Souls & Spirituality Has Surpassed Materialism Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3677 ~
Former UN Secretary General U Thant often said that spirituality had to catch up with materialism, science and technology. In order to illustrate his point he used to tell the following story:

One day a party of native bearers in Africa suddenly stopped, discharged their loads, sat down and refused to go forward. When asked for the reason their leader said: "our bodies have gone too fast for our souls. We must wait for our souls to catch up with us."

I believe the whole western society should learn from that story.

If we want to enjoy the beauty and purity of life, we must not becloud our eyes, mind and heart with poisons and wrong nutrition.

[GMW #3276] Inspiration From Reading Robert's Ideas Heals Depression


[GMW #3276] Inspiration From Reading Robert's Ideas Heals Depression Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3676 ~
I received the following message from a friend, Lola Kristof of the San Francisco United Nations Association:

"It is such an inspiration reading your ideas. They should be packaged and sold in pharmacies with this advertisement: one idea pill from Robert Muller before meals and your depression is guaranteed to heal."

This is very nice but only partly true because quite a number of my ideas are pretty gloomy. I will have to avoid them henceforth.

A wonderful, extremely intelligent friend of mine had planned everything in his life, except life itself. The possession and skillful running of a high-speed car had become essential to him, a proof of his masterly intelligence. He finally killed himself in an accident, trying to avoid a child running across a road. His wonderful intelligence and personality are gone forever. He no longer is. Overconfidence brought him to eternal standstill.

[GMW #3275] Bring Well-Being To The Earth As To Humanity


[GMW #3275] Bring Well-Being To The Earth As To Humanity Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3675 ~
Capitalism can continue to succeed and to bring well-being to humanity for a few more decades, but it will bring with it the destruction of the Earth because humanity is and will continue to be its objective, not the Earth. Can it correct this intrinsic birth defect from the 19th century conditions or not? That remains to be seen.

Life does not want to die. It has within itself marvelous life-sustaining, life-preserving, self-healing mechanisms. Just observe the healing of a wound and you will see how wonderful our body is. It is in our highest interest to prevent these stupendous mechanisms from deteriorating: we should not poison them; we should not overload them; we should not overwork them. For instance, blood is a primary healing and cleaning agent. Put alcohol in it and its role is numbed, almost killed.

[GMW #3274] Pass On Books, Magazines, Cards Instead Of Wasteful Shredding


[GMW #3274] Pass On Books, Magazines, Cards Instead Of Wasteful Shredding

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3674~
Visiting after that book store an all products store, a souvenir store and a cards store I saw in all four along a wall a display of an incredible number of US magazines and another wall and several displays of innumerable wishing cards for all sorts of occasions.

The manager of one of the stores told me that almost all the magazines remained unsold and had to be returned to be shredded. Pocketbooks had the same fate. He pleaded with the producers to at least give them away to poor people, to old people's homes, etc. but they refused saying that it would be detrimental to the market. Cards fared better and had not to be returned.

I was thinking of the thousands of stores in the United States who were carrying these magazines, pocketbooks and cards.

I told him how best sellers are made: 500,000 copies or more are printed and spread around the country to book stores and selling points. From 10,000 to 50,000 are sold and the rest are returned to be shredded.

No wonder that one half of the entire production of 'goods' in the western countries is waste.

Alcohol numbs all the organs of the human body, including the heart muscles. These must therefore make an extra effort to pump the blood circulation throughout the body. Alcohol is therefore one of the main causes of the so-called heart 'attack'.
