[GMW #4166] Worldilization Of Nature Of Earth - To Protect & Stop Nature Destruction

[GMW #4166] Worldilization Of Nature Of Earth - To Protect & Stop Nature Destruction Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4556 ~
I recommend the worldilization of all the nature of Earth. Private enterprise should no longer be free to acquire and destroy it. It would require authorization and control by Earth government authorities.

A Hindu UN colleague kept telling me that I was in the hands and power of a Hindu Goddess who had a special fate in store for me.  Each time we met, he had an allegory ready.  For instance:

"A Chinese emperor assembled his wisest philosophers on top of a mountain to agree on a single sentence that would contain the ultimate wisdom of life.  After several days they gave him this answer:

"Everything has an end."

My colleague was watching me intently with his deep, dark, mysterious eyes. My mind caught his challenge and I answered:
"They were wrong, utterly wrong. The idea of a beginning and of an end is a very poor human concept derived from our limited senses. The notions of beginning and end are even more incomprehensible than those of eternity and infinity. There is no end. There is only a change of worlds. If one sentence could encompass the incredible mystery of life, I would say:

"Thank You, O God, for the astonishing miracle of life."
His eyes brightened up and he seemed satisfied.

[GMW #4565] Thanks To All Those Keeping The United Nations Spirit Alive & Well

[GMW #4565] Think Constantly Of A Better Future For Humanity & Nature  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4555 ~
On Thanksgiving Day of the International Year of Thanksgiving 2000 I gave thanks to God for having allowed me to serve all my adult life the dream organization of the world, the United Nations.

I will never forget my first days as a young United Nations intern in 1948 in an abandoned war factory in Lake Success, Long Island and being pitied by a British delegate who told me that I would lose my job because the UN would not survive more than five years. Thank you dear God and all those who have not allowed that to happen.

To believe in the future is the best contribution to humanity's progress. No one should ever commit the sin not to believe in the success of the human species. It is the most inhuman, damaging error.

[GMW #4564] Create University For Peace In Costa Rica To Become The New Athens Of The World

[GMW #4564] Create University For Peace In Costa Rica To Become The New Athens Of The World  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4554 ~
On the eve of the year 2000, which will be the 20th anniversary of the creation of the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica I woke up with recollections of how this path-breaking, novel institution came to be born on planet Earth. And I had the following dreams:

1. That the University should become the school or meeting place of all heads of state of this planet;

2. That it should become a place of retirement for UN officials who, like me, would teach and transmit their experience and ideas to the world's younger generation;

3. That the Earth Council, created by the second world conference on the environment in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 should be transferred from San José to the natural grounds of the University for Peace* and help us become the new Athens of the world.

* That dream was fulfilled in 2000.

The study of organic deposits in the ice layers of our Poles has revealed that the last million years were divided between ice ages of about 100,000 years and warm periods of 20,000 years. The question now arises: are we entering a period of accelerating warming due to our activities or are we coming to the end of the current warm period and heading towards a new ice age?

In the series of world conferences convened by the UN for a better knowledge of Planet Earth, the first world climate conferences in history met 1979, 1982 and 1989.  Opinions were divided among scientists, but a world-wide climate watch and study program was agreed upon. The most vivid proof of human optimism is that means for avoiding a warming up of the planet and techniques for the avoidance of a new ice age are being considered, for example reflection of solar heat by satellite and spraying ice masses with heat-absorbing carbon black!  Imagine!  A species ready to change the geophysical course of a planet!  We are really a tremendous race in the universe!  God may even have some admiration for us.

[GMW #4563] Did Karl Marx Forecast Capitalism's Troubles Of Today

[GMW #4563] Did Karl Marx Forecast Capitalism's Troubles Of Today   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4553 ~
I have never read Das Kapital by Karl Marx.  I think I should read it now.  After all he was a philosopher, a thinker, not a politician. Perhaps his analysis and prophecies concerning the new phenomenon of capital at the end of the 19th century had insights and forecasts which explain the troubles which beset capitalism today.

Humanity, like an individual, needs a purpose, dreams, new visions, shores to swim at, peaks to climb.  Our next target must be the year 3000.

[GMW #4562] Live Without Destroying Earth - Live With Flowers Too

[GMW #4562] Live Without Destroying Earth - Live With Flowers Too  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4552 ~
It is often said that humans are like ants.  I am sorry but ants are superior to humans: they have not invented atomic bombs, sciences, industries, militaries, cars, airplanes, multinational corporations, businesses, marketing, advertisement, packaging, banks, stock markets, etc. They multiply and proliferate like we do, but without destroying the Earth. On the contrary they take very good care of her, of vegetation and of their anthills.

A good comparison is to see the entire history of our planet reduced to the span of one day: the birth of the human race occurs only 5 minutes before midnight, the industrial civilization only at the first strike of twelve, and the environmental crisis at the second strike.

Another view is to see that we have still two long days before us and that the strikes of midnights are in reality opening our global age.
