[GMW #3688] Earth Is My Home - Humans Are My Family Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000

Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
When with my young wife we visited after World War II a hero of the French Resistance, General Koenig, he gave us this advice: "Prepare well your advanced, rich old age. Have a vision of what you want to be and have accomplished in your life." We were grateful to him all our life for this wise strategic counsel. - See Most of All, They Taught Me Happiness, chapter Advice of a General.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

[GMW #3687] Nurture Human Relations And The Art Of Living Happily, Peacefully On This Planet


[GMW #3687] Nurture Human Relations And The Art Of Living Happily, Peacefully On This Planet Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4082~
We know so much about matter and the universe and so little about human relations and the art of living happily and peacefully on this planet. We are scientific giants and societal dwarfs. This has to be corrected with utmost urgency. I hope that the recent book of Maurice Strong Where on Earth Are We Going will have an impact on governments because it is a book by the Secretary General of the two world environmental conferences we had in the United Nations. And he predicts that if we do not change course, life on this planet will come to an end within the next thirty years.

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

[GMW #3686] Make Your Contributions To The Art Of Living


[GMW #3686] Make Your Contributions To The Art Of Living Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4081~
I dream, I pray that my contributions to the art of living as a global species of fulfilled, happy human beings will be of some value to my human brothers and sisters.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
Usually when one becomes a wise person of advanced age, one is no longer needed, for a younger generation occupies the scene.  To write, to teach, to conclude, to tell stories and transmit one's wisdom to the next generation becomes then a foremost service and delight.

Heart Quotes
To exist is to change,
to change is to mature,

[GMW #3685] Democracy, Justice, Love, Responsibility & Freedom Are All Interdependent


[GMW #3685] Democracy, Justice, Love, Responsibility & Freedom Are All Interdependent Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4080~
Democracy, justice, love, responsibility and freedom are all interdependent. If one disappears, all others lose or perish.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
Even and especially in old age (the rich or advanced age), life can pursue its upward course thanks to a passion.  That passion can range over an immense gamut of values and realities: from the infinitely large (e.g. God) to the very small (e.g. a stamp collection).

The object may not be so important, but the drive for life, the will for life, the passion for what one does is.

[GMW #3684] Humanity Of Human Beings, Not Lifeless Corporations, Governments & Institutions


[GMW #3684] Humanity Of Human Beings, Not Lifeless Corporations, Governments & Institutions Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4079~
Humanity is made of human beings, not of lifeless governments and institutions.

The latter are only servers of life, not life itself.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
We must take very good care of ourselves in order to live and serve God, the Earth and humanity as long and well as possible.  To live long for personal reasons only is self-defeating, because narrowness and egotism stifle old age.  An old person who does not love and lives only for himself is not loved.  One who loves and is of service is loved in return.

Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans.
It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.

[GMW #3683] Humanity Lives As One Body - We Must Be Good Cells & Children Of That Body


[GMW #3683] Humanity Lives As One Body - We Must Be Good Cells & Children Of That Body Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4078~
A human body constantly loses dead cells and produces new ones. It is the same with humanity. People die and are replaced by new cells, our children, and humanity continues to live as one body. We must be good cells and children of that body.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 5 -
Of Adulthood


Decide to be a Great Adult...

an admirable man or woman
    grown to full flowering

giving birth and nourishing
physically
mentally
morally
and spiritually

the next new members in the ascending
    chain of human life,
a perfect link between the past
    and the future,

a noble contribution to a peaceful, happy
    better world

through your role of man or woman
in your daily life of work, action,
    thought and love.

Decide to live as long and healthily
    as possible
to do as much good as possible.

Plan your optimum age
    of wisdom and experience
wrongly called old age
to further the Earth's and
    humanity's upward journey

so that you can answer God's question
    to you after death:

"What did you do with
    the tremendous, miraculous,
gift of life I gave you on
    a very unique, wonderful planet in the vast universe?"

WORD FOR THE DAY
I have the nerve to walk my own way,
however hard,
in my search for reality,
rather than climb upon
the rattling wagon of wishful illusions.
~ Zora Neale Hurston
