[GMW #4041] Publish Yearly Statistics On Tax Free Sales Of Alcohol And Tobacco Products

[GMW #4041] Publish Yearly Statistics On Tax Free Sales Of Alcohol And Tobacco Products  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4434 ~
Under a proper Earth and humanity government all tax free shops in airports selling alcohol and tobacco products at reduced prices would be closed.

Sitting in front of such a shop at the airport of Costa Rica waiting for a plane to take me to the first meeting of the World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality in Canada I was shocked by the numerous sales to passengers, mostly for gifts. Yes, alcohol and smoking transformed into gifts, into gestures of friendship and love!

The UN Civil Aviation Organization should publish yearly statistics on such sales world-wide. It would create a shock. Governments and the international community would react to it.

I wonder if such shops and sales are allowed in the airports of Muslim countries which totally condemn the production, transportation, sales and consumption of alcohol, (Arab word meaning the devil).

Secretary-General U Thant once asked an astrophysicist:

"Is it true what the Buddha believed, namely that humans will never be able to leave their solar system?"

The astrophysicist confirmed it:  humans are for all eternity prisoners of our minuscule solar system. They will never be able to travel beyond its limits, despite all the fantasies of science fiction.

How lucky we are, therefore, to have our little planet to stand on, our oxygen to breathe, our sun to heat, illuminate and nourish us, our waters to quench our thirst.

But alas, to those who destroy it, to the pessimists who denigrate life we cannot even say:

"Love this planet or leave it," for there is no other place to go.  They will die on this Earth and be recycled in its ground, hopefully to be reborn as optimistic, life-loving creatures.

[GMW #4040] The Product Of Earth's Nature Is Significantly Higher Than All The National Products Of Humanity's Industries

[GMW #4040] The Product Of Earth's Nature Is Significantly Higher Than All The National Products Of Humanity's Industries Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4433 ~
Looking down from the air at an immense city like Dallas and its extended suburbs, intensive, innumerable roads and highways I was thinking that these buildings and roads are valued nowadays at a much higher price than inbuilt land.

But the time will soon come when the inbuilt, natural land of this Earth will be valued much higher than the roads, the highways, the buildings, the skyscrapers and the airports.

The Earth: "Thank you so much dear Robert for saying that. Remember the calculations by a reputed group of economists from various countries according to whom the product of my nature is significantly higher than all the national products of humanity's industries and constructions combined." (see Idea 3100 in Volume VIII.)

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe
Sometimes when I see nature, people, cars, airplanes, buildings, I stop walking and I say to myself:

"What an incredible globe this is, turning at 1666 kilometers per hour with so much life on it, with people standing on it, their heads pointing like antennas into all the directions of the universe, with leaves, plants, diatoms and algae avidly absorbing the energy emitted by our star. And to think that we are the only planet of our sun, and perhaps of the entire universe, to possess life!

How can we not stand in endless awe before such a miracle, preserve it and make it the most perfect cosmic success in the universe.

[GMW #4039] Feel Part Of The Whole Universe Of One Grand Incredible Mysterious Whole

[GMW #4039] Feel Part Of The Whole Universe Of One Grand Incredible Mysterious Whole Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4432 ~
When will we humans feel ourselves part of the whole universe, of our planet, of one grand, worthwhile, meaningful, mysterious, incredible whole?

Then all the efforts of the suns and planets and Milky Ways, of comets and nebula, of evolving worlds and of our Earth will have been at long last fulfilled: one species, the human one happily feels its incredible, miraculous nature and divine existence in the vast universe and time.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe
The sun to humans:
"Look at my nine planets.  Three of them are pure ice.  Two are masses of gas.  Two are fiery balls and one is icy rock.  On only one, namely yours, after sending out my rays for 5 billion years, have I succeeded to produce life, a very rare phenomenon, perhaps unique in the universe.  And see what a mess you are doing with it.  I am ashamed of you.  You are playing with my Creation without the slightest comprehension of the miracle it is and of the magnitude of your misdoings.  Why are you incapable to manage your planet in peace, harmony and with untold love?"

Our answer:  "Soon we will, please give us a little more time. We are only in the kindergarten of figuring it out."

[GMW #4038] Organize Ourselves & Govern For A Peaceful, Happy, Wholesome Human Family

[GMW #4038] Organize Ourselves & Govern For A Peaceful, Happy, Wholesome Human Family Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4431 ~
For whom should we organize this Earth? For the five thousand 'minorities' on this planet, for humanity, for religions, for nations, for languages, for cultures, for races, for coalitions?

At this stage of our evolution we should govern and organize ourselves for the preservation and conservation of the Earth and the birth of a peaceful, happy, wholesome human family.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I The great Scene of Creation
Chapter 1 Our Place in the Universe
During most of human history, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. Then we learned that the sun was not turning around the Earth but that the Earth was circling around the sun. So we thought that the sun was the center of the universe. Then we learned that the sun is only a small star turning around the axis of a galaxy of stars. Then we learned that this galaxy is circling around the pole of a cluster of galaxies which in turn is rotating around the pole of a spheric expanding universe!

How small and diminished we have become! Scientists further tell us that time, distance, speed, mass and energy are all relative. But, if this is so, then perhaps we are not so small after all! We might even be the only planet with life in a universe of fire, gases, atomic explosions and interstellar voids! Our conditions might be unique:  the right distance from a sun not to burn and not to freeze, the right mass to retain water and an atmosphere, the right rotation and orbit, the right atomic density and chemical composition.

So we might after all be a true showpiece, a unique, miraculous success of the cosmos.  What responsibility this would mean!

What change of thinking, concerns, policies and behavior it would require from our political leaders!  What immense human pride, gratitude and truly religious feeling it would command from us!

Why not try loving and managing well that miracle?

Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary. There are burning bushes all around you. Every tree is full of angels. Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb.
