Since most churches and temples of the world are most of the
time empty here is a suggestion to fill them: allow
supermarkets to be built or get installed in them and soon
they will be filled by buyers.
Some buyers might even be inspired to pray and thank God for
their blessings.
The parishes would receive rent payments from the shopkeepers
and the merchants using the church.
It is true that Jesus threw the merchants out of the temple.
Perhaps there was already a precedent at his time.
Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living Volume III - The Seasons of Life d Chapter 7 - Return To Mother Earth
Cousin Marthe's adaptation to her new condition was
slow at first. She suffered three more attacks and
hospitalizations. But progressively she found her good old self
again, and today one can hear her once again exclaim in a cascade
of laughter:
"Heart attack? What heart attack? I have seen much worse than
that in my life. My heart will just be another anatomical
curiosity for the students, since it is now equipped with a
pacemaker. They are going to have some fun finding all the
hardware located in me, I assure you!
I have resumed my normal life and have erased the whole affair
from my mind. The time is not yet ripe for the devil to catch me.
Death may strike at any moment. We all have to go sooner or later.
But I am going to resist it as long as I can. I am just not going
to give in; no sir!"
And I looked at her in utter amazement. Her aged, heavy,
over-weight, battered, cut-up, patched-up body seems to have wings
and to be animated by the spirit of a young girl who has just
discovered the beauty and joys of life.
Her blue, irradiating eyes are full of sunshine, flowers, and
stars. She seems to have caught a piece of paradise on Earth, of
cosmic origin, of the cause of eternal life and resurrection.
If this can be true of an individual, it can also apply to
humanity.
Social groups are living entities. They require a brain, a heart,
a nervous system, a will to live, an objective, a dream, an
ideal.
What we need most at this juncture of evolution is leaders with
vision, with eyes full of peace, goodness, and a beautiful future.
Humanity needs common goals, lofty goals, joie de vivre, and a
strong belief in a peaceful, wonderful future.
The worst we could ever do would be to let go, to despair, and to
lose control over ourselves.
We need a Cousin Marthe at the helm of each government and of the
world. And they should all work for the achievement of paradise
on Earth.

If your children tell you that there is nothing to do on this
planet ask them to go to a public library and consult my nine
volumes of 4000 (Over 7000) Ideas and Dreams for a Better World
and the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potentials
published by the Union of International Associations in Brussels
at my suggestion. It describes 12,203 world problems.
Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume III - The Seasons of Life Chapter 6 - The Rich Age
The sage has discovered his nature, your nature and
the common nature of all humans. The sage shows you with a smile
and a few words how to be most happily, most fully yourself.

Letters to Sweden Dear Mr. Ambassador,
Mr. John McConnell, a dear friend for many years, called me to underline again the importance of Earth Day of which he was the father. In our conversation I mentioned to him that he should not be too unhappy because substantial progress has been achieved since Sweden's initiatives in 1968 for the holding of UNESCO's world conference on the biosphere and the first UN conference on the Environment in Stockholm in 1972. I thought that I should send him a copy of a letter to the Ambassador of Sweden in 1994. He asked me to send you a copy too, which I am doing herewith. Santa Barbara, 9 July 2001 In my 4000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World I often give Sweden as a model country, for example the agreement of the government with Swedish toy manufacturers not to produce war toys, and the prohibition of advertisements addressed to children below a certain age. If you have more such examples I would be happy to report them in the next volumes. Ambassador Lars-Goran Engfeldt Ministry of the Environment Sweden Dear Mr. Ambassador, I send you my very warmest greetings Robert Muller Former UN Assistant Secretary General Co-founder of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica Santa Barbara, 11 July 2001 I take pleasure in sending you pages 90 to 91, Volume VI, from my 4000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World, mentioned in my earlier fax to you. I add two more ideas in which Sweden which has been in the foreground of caring for the Earth might take an interest. Combined, the idea would be to obtain the convening of a World Conference on the Future of the Earth and of Humanity to the Year 3000. It would be a great historic event with profound effects on what will happen on this planet in the years and centuries to come. We absolutely must take a long term view of the future, to avoid potentially irreversible, negative events. We owe it to the next generation. Ambassador Lars-Goran Engfeldt Ministry of the Environment Sweden Yours sincerely, Robert Muller Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume III - The Seasons of Life Chapter 6 - The Rich Age The role of grandparents in the development of children and transmission of the wisdom of life, especially through story-telling, is of paramount importance. Some of the greatest lessons in my life I received from my only grandparent alive, my grandfather the hat maker. Today, many more children have the benefit of their grandparents, due to increased longevity. They should be happy and grateful and take full advantage of it. A grandparent is alive and a blessing. Television is not.

Letter to the Mayor of San Francisco - Dear Mr. Mayor, May I
recommend to you that the city of San Francisco, the
birthplace of the United Nations, convene at the beginning of
this new millennium a Wisdom Summit on Creating a New Global
Dream for the World, a title suggested by Mrs. Lola Kristof in
a conversation during the recent first San Francisco Peoples'
Assembly, on 29 June - 1 July 2001.
1. the heads of states General Assembly of the UN in 2000 which was supposed "to focus on means to solve our primary global problems and to reform the means of global governance in order to meet the challenges of the 21st century" did not come up with any proposals or initiatives; 2. Maurice Strong who was Secretary General of the two UN world conferences on the Environment in 1972 and 1992 is so concerned that he has come out with a book Where on Earth Are We Going, in which he predicts that within the next thirty years planet Earth will go to pieces; 3. In a recent study 600,000 middle and high school students across the US were asked if they thought the world would be a better place thirty years from now. Only 1% replied yes. When asked if they wanted it to be better thirty years from now, almost all replied yes; Santa Barbara, 9 July 2001 4. Have a glance also at the complaints of the Earth at the beginning of a speech of mine, excerpts sent herewith.* There exists an avalanche of similar views and preoccupations all around the world. Since no hope, light, plans and dreams come from governments, it would be wonderful if one of the great visionary cities of the world, San Francisco, the birthplace of the United Nations, would give the world reasons for hope by convening a Wisdom Summit of the best brains, thinkers and dreamers of your country. The US has given its dreams several times to the world, with the plans for the League of Nations, the Marshall Plan, the creation of the United Nations and others. The world is expecting a great new dream from the US for humanity and the whole world. That dream could come from the great inspiring city of San Francisco. The first ideas for such a Summit should come from you. If you desire I would be happy to give you my views too after a lifetime of service with the United Nations since the end of World War II. I wish you a great meeting with inspiring Mrs. Lola Kristof who is the mother of the idea of a World Wisdom Summit. Mr. Willy Brown Mayor of the City of San Francisco Yours very warmly, Robert Muller Former UN Assistant Secretary General Life-long Honorary President of the Global Peoples' Assembly *Pages 142-144 of Volume IV of 4000 Ideas and Dreams for a Better World. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume III - The Seasons of Life Chapter 6 - The Rich Age She listened attentively, remained silent for a while, and then commented: "My mind has been functioning at high gear while you spoke. I believe your friend is right, and I will give you a proof of it. Do you know when exactly I had my heart attack? It was on the anniversary date of the death of my husband. I was sitting here in the kitchen all day long alone, crying my soul out, and lamenting about the beautiful bygone days. I just let go. Life had no meaning for me anymore. It was worthless, purposeless. I had no reason to go on living and fighting. Living for what? For me alone? Well, at ten o'clock in the evening after several hours of such treatment, I suffered my heart attack and was taken to the hospital. What happened to me proves the correctness of your friend's theory." ANNEX An Example - My Friends Theory
In the 1970's, when we were stationed at the UN in New York I
learned from a friend who is a neurologist that the human brain is
the last organ of the body to age: It becomes apparently more
effective or 'younger' over most of a person's lifetime, as it
creates ever more diversified and finer chains of neurons. The
human brain is an admirable, incredibly complex computer capable
of branching out inwardly and of refining endlessly its capacity
to store information, synthesize, summarize, conclude, and give
with lightening speed instructions to the billions of cells and
parts which compose the human body But the brain 'grows' only as
long as it is stimulated by the will, imagination, drive, or
curiosity of the individual. Once the stimulus disappears,
neurons stop growing. They atrophy and the brain loses its
effectiveness as the central command unit of the human being.
Disruptions and malfunctions appear in the form of all kinds of
physical and psychological ills. Death not infrequently occurs
after an individual has lost his will for life or basic drive.
This often happens when a person retires from a very active life
and is confronted with idleness and a lack of objectives. Indeed,
why should a life continue if there is no will for it?
What I had learned might have subsided from my mind after a while, had I not been given shortly thereafter a vivid illustration of its truth. We were visiting in Danbury, Connecticut, a cousin of mine from Alsace-Lorraine, Marthe Bogen, who had immigrated after the war with her husband and child to the United States. My cousin Marthe is one of those extraordinary persons I have known in my life. Few people in this world have gone through the amount of torment and miseries she and her family have suffered. Her stories would fill a sizable volume. Nevertheless, she has always remained the happiest and most optimistic person on Earth. Her happiness engenders a tonic aureole all around her and accounts for the innumerable friends she has. One spends a few minutes with her and life becomes beautiful, cheerful, bouncing, exciting, full of interesting stories, and laughter. She irradiates a joie de vivre that catches everyone who comes near her. And of course people seek her friendship in order to benefit from this tonicity. She is quite capable of stating in a great outburst of laughter: "Do you know the latest news? I have decided to donate my body to a medical school so that scientists and students may figure out by what miracle I have survived for more than seventy years with one lung, one eye, one kidney, an artificial hip, several sectioned nerves, and a host of other lesser defects. They are going to have some fun with me on the dissecting table, believe me!" We were therefore utterly dismayed when we learned one day that she had suffered a heart attack. But she recovered soon and after her release from the hospital she invited us to her house in order to celebrate. At coffee time, I told her of my friend's theory, for it seemed to me that her whole life was a living proof of it, except for her recent heart attack.

Since the five big powers of the UN Security Council do not want
the Military Staff Committee to meet in order to design a proper
world security system and then disarm the planet as foreseen in
the UN Charter, I recommend that all other nations of the world
convene the heads of their armies in order to propose and create a
world security system of their own. It would perhaps induce the
veto powers to join such a conference or to convene the Military
Staff Committee, as recommended in the UN Charter. It is high time
to try it.
