Everything has been lived, everything has been thought, everything has been dreamt, everything has been felt, everything has been said, but the great art of living is to live it all over again, to think it again, to dream it again, to feel it again, to say it again yourself.

Each human being repeats the entire story of the universe. And while we are all fundamentally the same, we are each unique and forever unrepeatable. This is one of the beauties of Creation.

[GMW #3919] Express A Wish, Dream, Take An Important Decision On Special Days Like Birthdays

[GMW #3919] Express A Wish, Dream, Take An Important Decision On Special Days Like Birthdays  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4312 ~
From the file of an autobiography which I dream to write some day, I found a statement of wishes I expressed on 11 March 1986, my 63rd birthday. I then had the curiosity to look at the 4000 ideas and saw that I had expressed wishes on my 72nd, 73rd, 74th and 75th birthdays. I reproduce them in annex.

All humans should express a wish or a dream or take an important decision on their birthdays. It could also be done on the anniversaries of marriage and of the death of close ones. I often go to my deceased wife Margarita's tomb and report to her what my dreams and hopes are, asking for her help from heaven.

If human beings probed the power of their imagination, they would be endlessly astonished.

[GMW #3918] Create A Department Of Peace In The United States & All Other Countries

[GMW #3918] Create A Department Of Peace In The United States & All Other Countries Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4311 ~
Many years ago US Senator Matsunaga, proposed the creation of a United States Peace Institute which would train peacemakers the same way as West Point, Annapolis and Colorado Springs train foot soldiers, Marines and airborne forces.

This was not taken up for years until the 1980's and was opposed by the US State Department. After much difficulty it was adopted, but when President Reagan came into office he was against it and agreed to it only on the condition that it would not train peacemakers, only produce reports. That is the situation today. Well, when we receive American groups of visitors at the University for Peace I sometimes get the question, "Does our government support the University?" I answer, "No, it has not ratified its creation. If you are of the opinion that the US should support it please write to your Congressman to find out why they are opposed to it?" And they get the answer that the US has its own Institute for Peace! But they are not told that this Institute for Peace is not allowed to train peacemakers.

Now in the year 2001 Congressman Kucinich of Ohio has introduced in the US Congress the proposal to create a Department of Peace and also a Peace Academy. It will be very interesting to see how this will be received. Probably the answer will be that there is already the United States Institute for Peace and there is no need for an Academy.

What a tremendous amount of potential life, what an intensity of feelings, what a power of thought and imagination there can be in one single human being!

Please, dear reader, do not miss to explore the wealth, the miracle, the divine work of art you are.

[GMW #3917] UN Budget Compared Military Budgets

[GMW #3917] UN Budget Compared Military Budgets Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4310 ~
In 1969, when I was briefly Director of the UN Budget, I jotted down this note: 'The United States maintains around the world 429 major military bases, 2900 smaller bases, one million military personnel, 500,000 members of their families, 275,000 foreign workers, and spends for that between five and six billion dollars a year.

In 1969, the UN budget was 168 million dollars and the total number of UN international civil servants and of all its specialized agencies and world programs, including secretaries, was 40,000.' And with that, the UN is supposed to deal with all the major problems of this planet from peace to human rights, from health to education, from development to the environment, from outer space to the atom, etc. In my view, the political opponents of the UN budget should be straightened out by their voters. Sixteen years later, in 1985, the UN budget was 800 million dollars shared by 160 nations. During the same year world military budgets were 800 billion dollars, i.e. a thousand times more. Of the UN budget the US was assessed 200 million dollars or one third of the cost of an atomic Trident submarine. And yet that government complains that the UN is too costly and that the US pays too much! Historians will someday shake their heads in utter disbelief of such facts. (See Annex II of Part IV.) One of the best businesses on Earth: The US gets back in UN and delegations expenditures three times what it pays to the UN and complains that the UN costs too much and that the US contribution is too high! Switzerland has it even better: it collects the second biggest sum from the UN and is not even a member of the UN! * What a world! * It finally became a member in 2002.

Dear philosopher Descartes,
I believe that I am infinitely more than what you thought when you said "I think, therefore I am".  In my opinion.

I breathe, therefore I am
I see, therefore I am
I hear, therefore I am
I think, therefore I am
I love, therefore I am
I feel, therefore I am.

Of course, you might return:
"You thought everything you just said. Therefore I am right after all!"  No, you are not right, because when I breathe, when I see, when I hear, when I love, when I feel I do not necessarily think.

Suddenly there they are, a wavering V headed directly over the hilltop, quite low, beating southward down the central flyway and talking as they pass. We stay quiet suspending our human conversation until their garulity fades and their wavering lines are invisible in the sky.
