[GMW #3630] War Is Prohibited - All Countries Can Follow Japan & Costa Rica's Example


[GMW #3630] War Is Prohibited - All Countries Can Follow Japan & Costa Rica's Example Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4025 ~
Japan is the only country on Earth which has stipulated in its new post-World War II Constitution that war is prohibited as a means of solving conflicts. Article 22 of the Costa Rican constitution engraved on the peace monument of the UN University of Peace comes close to that: "Se proscribe el ejercito como institucion permanente."

"The army is prohibited as a permanent institution." May all countries of Earth follow these great examples of Japan and Costa Rica.

Children should be enabled to learn from nature, which is the greatest, most natural, most fascinating school on Earth.  When our grandchildren visit us on our farm in Costa Rica they never watch television.

[GMW #3629] Make Every Day A Celebration Of One Of Your Loves Or Dreams


[GMW #3629] Make Every Day A Celebration Of One Of Your Loves Or Dreams Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4024 ~
We have many world days proclaimed by the United Nations. That is good. It creates a greater world-wide human solidarity, a collective thinking, loving and celebrating. But sometimes I feel that every day of the year should be a day of peace and of the Earth.

Dear reader, make every day a celebration of one of your loves or dreams.

The Miracle of Childhood

Children should be enabled to learn from many peoples.  Everybody should be a grandfather, a grandmother, an uncle, an aunt, a brother or a sister to a child.

[GMW #3628] Planetics - The New Consciousness Administration Of Earth - Replaces Politics


[GMW #3628] Planetics - The New Consciousness Administration Of Earth - Replaces Politics Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4023 ~
I have proposed earlier in these ideas that the word politics (from the Greek 'polis' the city) should be replaced by planetics, the administration of the planet. I'm glad that already in 1991 UNESCO sponsored a colloquium on the subject 'From Politics to Planetics' in which the office of the Prime Minister of France and the French National Foundation of Political Sciences participated.

I urge that this linguistic progress be adopted world-wide. It would create a much needed new consciousness of our place and role on this Earth. The United 20 Nations should be the first to give the good example and transform its Department of Political Affairs into a Department of Planetics or Planet Earth Affairs.

The Miracle of Childhood
The role of grandparents and of old people in the development of children, the transmission to them of their wisdom of life, especially through story-telling, is of fundamental importance.  When I was a little boy I apparently took my cap off whenever I met an old person.  My father asked me why I was doing that and I answered: "Because they know so much."  Indeed I received some of the greatest lessons in my life from my only living grandparent, my grandfather the hatmaker.  Today, many more children are luckier: they have the benefit of their grandparents, due to increased longevity.

[GMW #3627] Farsighted - Departments Of The Future - Locally & Globally


[GMW #3627] Farsighted - Departments Of The Future - Locally & Globally Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4022 ~
The future of humanity and of this Earth will be in large degree the result of what we do and how we live today because we do everything on such a colossal scale. It is for me therefore ununderstandable that we do not have more concern for the future, that there exist no Ministries of the Future in all governments.

And when the United Nations recommends actions and treaties to save the future they are by and large not accepted, not ratified or not implemented. Future generations, if any, will hold this terribly against us. They will never understand our shortsightedness and wrong human role and behavior today.

As I wrote my 5000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World, I remembered that on my essays and homework the teachers often wrote: "Des idées" ("Ideas") and sometimes "De bonnes idées" ("Good ideas").

[GMW #3626] As Cosmic Beings, We Must Cross The Borders Within Ourselves

[GMW #3626] As Cosmic Beings, We Must Cross The Borders Within Ourselves Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4021 ~
A Dutchman, Peter Van Breeman says, "The most deep personal invitation God gives us is the call to cross the borders within ourselves. The tremendous truth is that we can change a deep re-orientation of our inwards. We can become truly new persons. We work at living out our days in our selfless. We are acculturated to refuse to meet our God within us. Our self exaltation screens us off on our side from God after the manner of a one-way mirror."

This is a little complicated but I believe that it is basically right. We must cross the borders within ourselves and also with the external world, including the infinite heavens and infinite time. This is the meaning of the spirituality of all the great religions. All are saying that we are children of God, cosmic beings.

The Miracle of Childhood

My grandfather once showed me a letter from a business partner who conveyed to him his observations of the little boy I was at the age of five.  He predicted that I would go very far and reach the top of the world.  It left a deep impression on me.  Alas, this rare letter was destroyed in the bombardment  of my grandfather's home during World War II.

WORD FOR THE DAY
If we consciously remind ourselves of our blessings, it should become harder to take them for granted and adapt to them.
