[GMW #3437] Nurture Supreme Values Of Clean Air, Pure Water And Nature - Not Money, Capital Or Industries


[GMW #3437] Nurture Supreme Values Of Clean Air, Pure Water And Nature - Not Money, Capital Or Industries Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3836 ~
The thought has crossed my mind that if I were a parliamentarian in Costa Rica I would recommend that this country be fundamentally changed from the point of view of values, that the supreme values will be the air, the waters and nature and not money and capital, more industries and more factories.

One of the first steps Costa Rica should take is to reduce considerably automobile circulation and it should decree that the only cars permitted to be used and imported to Costa Rica (at least by foreigners resident in Costa Rica) would be the new carbon free emission vehicles, the electrical cars. The state of California has unanimously decided that each car company must produce a minimum number of a few thousand of such cars to be put into circulation between now and the year 2003 so that progressively current cars will be replaced. General Motors immediately introduced a law suit against this decision.

Please Costa Rica, please poor countries, do not imitate blindly the rich countries anymore.

We usually think that we are more than what we are, and yet
we still by far underestimate what we could really be!

[GMW #3436] Live Where There Is Fresh Air & Pure Water - Not In Monstrous Polluted Cities

[GMW #3436] Live Where There Is Fresh Air & Pure Water - Not In Monstrous Polluted Cities Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3835 ~
When I am in Costa Rica in the hills surmounting the valley just above the United Nations University for Peace I just cannot believe the delight of breathing an air which is so pure, so filled with oxygen. I sometimes just stand and breathe with the delight and wonder why the world is divided between rich and poor countries, developed and underdeveloped countries. They should be divided between oxygen rich pure air and oxygen poor bad air countries.

Air is the most important element of life. We must breathe it all the time. It is even more important than water, which we take only a few times a day. Breathing must go on day and night without interruption.

How can the human society become so blind and not recognize this. How can anyone be proud to live in any one of those monstrous cities where breathing the air during a day is equivalent to smoking two packages of cigarettes?

The people should return to the land, to oxygen, to the sea shores and abandon those crazy, over-selling, oversold cities with so many unnecessary activities and goods. The human species becomes more and more ununderstandable.

The Earth:
"Dear Robert, am I glad, delighted to hear you tell this truth. If only all the peoples of this beautiful planet would listen to you."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II The Art of Personal Happiness
Chapter 3 - Of Consciousness

All my life I had the growing consciousness that I was much more than myself, to the point of not belonging to myself. This non-belonging was a source of bliss.

It gave my self a greater value!
The universe penetrated into me, aggrandized me.

I realized that I was part of the cosmos conscious of itself, a cosmic being. And most of that I owe to the United Nations, the first planetary and cosmic school on Earth. May all schools on Earth do that miracle for their children.

HOW I RECEIVED A UN PEACE MEDAL AROUND 1984 FOR THE WORK I WOULD DO IN MY LIFE
by Lislie Goldman

https://www.facebook.com/YourEnchantedGardener

The secret to staying young is leading a life of significance in your own eyes.

I was given a U.N. Peace Medal by Robert Muller then Assistant Under Secretary for the United Nations at a conference in the early 80's when the move toward #IntegrativeMedicine was being born under the name of Holistic Health.

It was here I created my first Enchanted Garden Installation.

Robert Muller came to the conference to give a U.N. Peace Medal to the founder and he came into the Enchanted Garden and took a nap. He fell asleep to the sound of a bird cooing and live harp music. He was inhaling fresh herbs that I held over his nose. When he woke up, he had no idea where he was.

He asked, "Where am I?" I said, "The Enchanted Garden."

He said,"Let Us Make Our Entire, Miraculous Planet into an Enchanted Garden!"

I have been doing that since.
It keeps me young through difficult times.

[GMW #3435] Study & Nurture Global Culture Of Peace, Humanism, Human Rights And Conflict Resolution


[GMW #3435] Study & Nurture Global Culture Of Peace, Humanism, Human Rights And Conflict Resolution Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3834 ~
There is a lot of study and investigation in the psychological and social sciences of the diverse cultures on planet Earth and the resolution of conflicts which are produced by these differences. The experts divide these cultures by country according to whether preference is given to individualism or to collectivism. Lots of studies have been made on this subject considering the 189 nations and even more numerous cultures we have on this planet.

Well, I'm raising also the following question to be studied, namely the birth of a global culture. In a conference on the subject I have said to the speaker that I was born in a culture, the French culture, where everything I was taught was related to France, the great literature of France, the history of France, the geography of France, the political system of France, her art, etc. But then one day the Germans marched in and told us all this was lies, that France was a decadent country and then we had to learn the German culture, its literature, its victories, its history, its geography, its politics, etc. and there was no talk of conflict resolution.

In each case the recommendation was to take a gun and to shoot on the other side, killing people of the other culture. When the war was over I joined the United Nations, having equipped myself with a Doctorate of Law and I was told in the US that law is principally a European, French culture and that the new culture was economics. So I went to Columbia University to get a degree in economics.

Well, the only culture which I found satisfactory was the culture emerging in the United Nations, a global culture, humanism everywhere, human rights, peace, education, health, help to the handicapped, an endless list of improving the human condition. And in that culture most problems were resolved by having nations work together.

I will never cease to be astonished by my fate: endlessly I discover that I can be greater than I was. Life offers endless possibilities for extension. Could it be true even after death? What a big revelation of increased consciousness that would be!

[GMW #3434] Reduce The Income And Lifestyle's Differences Between Rich And Poor


[GMW #3434] Reduce The Income And Lifestyle's Differences Between Rich And Poor  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3833 ~
There are two ways for individuals and families to reduce the income and lifestyle's differences between the rich and the poor countries:

Rich people can obtain visas and give employment to poor people from the poor countries as domestic aides, gardeners, drivers or other jobs. Or they can move to poor countries, buy a piece of land, live on their financial income or pension and provide labor to local people.

We did both, getting domestic help from Latin America when we raised four children in the New York area and we did the second upon retirement. Here in Costa Rica we have our own peasant's land and employ a farm manager and three workers. They are happy to have steady jobs and so are we. We also let a bee grower and bean grower till part of the land to make a living.

To know beyond oneself, to know beyond the planet, to understand ever more of infinity and eternity, that was the human destiny until now. To act as knowledgeable, loving, responsible actors in this majestic cosmic scenario will be the next.

[GMW #3433] Find What Works To Nurture Earth As A True Paradise In The Universe


[GMW #3433] Find What Works To Nurture Earth As A True Paradise In The Universe   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3832 ~
To the story The Power of Dreams (Annex to Ideas 3501 to 3600 ) I should add this:

Thomas Edison, who was one of the world's greatest inventors, for years tried to find a filament to produce electric light in a bulb. One of his assistants said to him, "You have tried more than 9,000 different materials. You are attempting the impossible." Edison answered, "Well, we now at least know that 9,000 materials will not work. Let us continue and find the one which will work."

We should apply this to all ideas for peace, happiness and the preservation of this Earth and make her a true paradise in the universe.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II The Art of Personal Happiness
Chapter 3 - Of Consciousness

An organ is only justified by its function. No organ survives if its function disappears. What are the functions of our organs? Why were they given to us? What is the function meant for the human race on this planet? If we do not find out, we will disappear.

The answer in my view is to
be responsible for the future evolution of planet Earth.
