[GMW #3308] Nurture Consciousness For The Future


[GMW #3308] Nurture Consciousness For The Future Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3703-6 ~
One more of the 7 progresses in consciousness gained by the human species since World War II:
6. 1990's to 2000: birth of concern and consciousness of the future appears in practically all fields and institutions. A heads of states meeting at the United Nations in 2000 discusses the future; creation of a Commissioner for the Future in the European Union; creation of an important US Foundation for the Future which looks as far as the year 3000. Future evolution is widely debated as a mounting concern.

It is very easy to recognize happiness: you can see it. It is written all over a face.

Chapter 2, Of Happiness
Once during the war, a very intelligent man, a hat manufacturer from Belgium, visited our family. When he heard my father complain about the hardness of the times, he went to the bathroom and brought back a fragrant loaf of prewar toilet soap which my mother had extracted from her treasure-chest in his honor. He passed it around and asked everyone to take a deep breath of its delightful fragrance.

Then he said:
"Once this war is over never will anyone of us feel again the happiness we enjoy at this moment in touching and smelling this soft, heavenly, rare loaf of soap. At every time of one's life, in every circumstance there is an opportunity for happiness. The art of living consists in seeking out these special moments."

I have never forgotten his words. Each time I unwrap a fresh loaf of toilet soap, his words come back to me, and I hold it respectfully to my nostrils to enjoy a special moment of happiness.

O youth of today, you do not know how lucky you are. You will never know how badly a piece of wartime soap looked and smelled. I can still feel its sandy texture hurt my skin.

[GMW #3306] Nurture Consciousness Of Earth's Climate & Ozonosphere


[GMW #3306] Nurture Consciousness Of Earth's Climate & Ozonosphere Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3703-4 ~
One more of the 7 progresses in consciousness gained by the human species since World War II:
4. 1980's: discovery of the damages we do to the ozonosphere and to the Earth climate: the Earth begins to become our preoccupation number one. UN world conferences on these subjects.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II The Art of Personal Happiness
Chapter 2, Of Happiness
Happiness is a mysterious fluid, a positive current released by the individual. It pervades the entire being and allows its optimum functioning. This is true also for the human society whose continued journey in fathomless space and time requires joy, happiness and hope as its luminous guideposts. Hence the need for world leaders who radiate happiness and dispense optimism and hope. At this stage of evolution, there is no longer much merit and recognition in power, wealth and vainglory.

[GMW #3305] Nature Ministries To Nurture Nature


[GMW #3305] Nature Ministries To Nurture Nature Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3703-3 ~
One more of the 7 progresses in consciousness gained by the human species since World War II:
3. 1970's: birth of the consciousness that something was getting wrong with nature around us: the environment. Two UN world conferences on that subject in 1972 and 1992; creation of Ministries of the Environment in all countries.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II The Art of Personal Happiness
Chapter 2, Of Happiness

Happiness is a science and an art which must be studied, taught and practiced widely. I dream of Universities of Happiness, of a vast literature of "Exercises in Happiness", "Recipes for Happiness", "The Science of Happiness", "The Art of Happiness", "How to Live Happily", "Teachers' Guide to Happiness", "Courses in Happiness." Every profession should have good writers and books on: "How to live happily as a lawyer", "How to be a happy teacher", "How to be a Happy Doctor", etc. I pray that some day happiness will be taught in all schools and universities of the world. It is amazing, unexplainable that it is not.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:

I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,

To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.
~ George Gordon Byron

[GMW #3304] Nurturing Consciousness


[GMW #3304] Nurturing Consciousness Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3703-2 ~
One more of the 7 progresses in consciousness gained by the human species since World War II:
2. 1960's: consciousness of the sudden world population explosion; several UN world conferences held on the subject.

A Catholic Sister who teaches happiness wrote to me:
"The parish should be a model of peace, love and joy for the world. This was the goal of St. Paul in his cosmic vision....In my introduction to the parish I prefer to be known as a Minister of Happiness because religion and happiness go together: Love for Christ - the Way to happiness."
What a good idea: parishes as models of happiness led by Ministers of Happiness!
