[GMW #4019] God Measures You Around The Heart Then Only Around The Head


[GMW #4019] God Measures You Around The Heart Then Only Around The Head Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4412 ~
When God measures you
God puts the tape around your heart
and after that only around the head.

Even if Einstein proved to me a thousand times that time is a function of space, I will have no use for it.

For me, indeed, the two greatest realities in which we live are space and time.

No mathematical formula or mental reasoning can take this fundamental reality away from me.

The real, true, infinite variations in relationships in the vast universe escape all human understanding. They are beyond the grasp of our human words.

[GMW #4018] Humanity's Preoccupation Number - Reversing Harms of Kaputalism


[GMW #4018] Humanity's Preoccupation Number - Reversing Harms of Kaputalism Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4411 ~
Capitalism, which was a correct ideology at the end of the 19th century has become dramatically wrong at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century.

It is destroying the Earth which has become preoccupation number one of humanity. We might as well use henceforth the German name Kaputalism (destructionism).

If the stars and sun would begin to doubt,
they would soon extinguish themselves. 
So it is with humans.

[GMW #4017] Understand Eternity - Reason In Terms Of Universal & Planetary So It Becomes Irresist


[GMW #4017] Understand Eternity - Reason In Terms Of Universal & Planetary So It Becomes Irresistable Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4410 ~
Summary of a passage of my Journal of 5 January 1970. Luncheon offered by the Secretary General to Mr. Aurelio Peccei, a remarkable man who merits to be known world-wide. Having reached the height of business success he now pursues a dream of his youth, the same as mine and that of Robert Schuman, namely the dream of a world without borders. He speaks of futurology, of macro-problems and I noted two remarks which profoundly impressed me.

He said, "Once one has placed oneself on a universal point of view there is no return possible. From the time I saw the pictures taken from the moon of our Earth I went across this step and I am no longer able to reason in terms which are not universal and planetary. An unceasing growing number of humans will take that step too and the movement will become irresistible. Number two, it is enough to have understood this and everything becomes clear. When I was a kid I could not understand the notion of eternity. Today I understand it and everything has become simple."

My contribution to the conversation was this:
1. The study of the future has been undertaken in many sectors by the United Nations and by its specialized agencies. The time has now come to link all these diverse elements and to create a Committee of the Future in the Economic and Social Council.*

2. In order to know where the world will go at the present writing it is enough to multiply by 7 billion (the projected number of the world population in the year 2000) the figures of consumption which prevail at the present time in the United States. One will be shocked by the figures and one will have to correct the present course of economic development.

Here is an example: multiply by 7 billion the average consumption of 600 kilograms of steel per inhabitant of the United States. The result is an impossibility, a crazy concept. And I write later in my Journal that this conversation was at the origin of the famous book by Peccei and the Club of Rome, entitled The Limits of Growth, a book which adopted exactly this hypothesis: Suppose that the world of 7 billion** inhabitants will reach the current levels of consuming of the American people.

The result of it pointed to unprecedented disasters and gave a durable shock to the world economy. From that time there is talk of 'sustainable economic development'. Aurelio Peccei says so rightly in The Inner Limits of Mankind "Modern man is 'unfinished,' his transition to a greater maturity retarded. One must recognize this as a cold fact.

The current global crisis — in which old and new problems of population, food, education, resources, energy, crowding, inflation, poverty, alienation, militarization, disorder, ecodegradation, injustice, etc., are growing and intertwining beyond recognition — are a consequence of the difficulty people have in achieving the level of understanding and sense of responsibility demanded by their mutated universe.

They have — all of them, in all classes and nations throughout the planet — remained confined within obsolete cultural boundaries which in the past could serve them well enough, but which nowadays are dangerously crippling, preventing them from living on par with the reality of their time and from controlling the mechanisms of change."

Thirty-one years later, in 2001, it still has not been done despite my urgings.

Why not? The fear of nations of the Future?
--

* This was never done. In 1998, when writing my 2000 Ideas for the year 2000 I recommended the creation of a main commission of the General Assembly on the future. It was not done.

** Thanks to the work and recommendations of the United Nations that figure of 7 billion was reduced to 6.1 billion, [the actual 2000 population was 6.8 billion].

Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe

We are minuscule entities in the universe and in time.

We will never fully understand the infinitely large and infinitely small. 

We will never grasp the beginningless beginning and endless end. 

And yet, within these limitations we can live miraculous, joyful, confident, searching, fulfilled, extraordinary lives and acquire an incredible consciousness of the stupendous universe and of our miraculous Earth.

[GMW #4016] Governments Servants Of All People & Nature Not Only Of The Corporations


[GMW #4016] Governments Servants Of All People & Nature Not Only Of The Corporations Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4409 ~
A few remarks concerning our current society: Privatization? Yes, by whom? By the rich corporations and by the wealthy.

Now we have capital colonialism, the latest, vastly, most intelligently, celebrated subtly advertised colonialism. Now in our time the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and more and more unprotected.

Some governments have become the servants of the wealthy and of corporations, not of the increasing number of the poor.

The Earth: "Dear Robert, I fully, enthusiastically agree."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe

Not a single encyclopedia on Earth presents our total knowledge within the two most obvious and logical frameworks which impose themselves upon us so glaringly, namely:
- the total universe, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small, and
- total time, from the infinite past to the infinite future.

The editors of the world's great encyclopedias should meet and agree on that new common table of contents of human search and knowledge.

WORD FOR THE DAY
There is a spirit that pervades everything, that is capable of powerful song and radiant movement, and that moves in and out of the mind. The colors of this spirit are multitudinous, a glowing, pulsing rainbow.
