24 October 2002 Introduction
to Good Morning World Dear
Brothers and Sisters for a Better World, I
have always said if I were Secretary General of the
United Nations, I would start each day with a
message to you, my dear friends and I would call it
"Good Morning World". My dream for our Earth is
Peace and now that I have finished my 5000 Ideas
and Dreams for a Better World
(www.robertmuller.org) and to celebrate the 57th
birthday of the United Nations, with your
permission I would like to start "Good Morning
World" and share one Peace idea a day. I
also have a very special thank you to my friend
Douglas Gillies, the author of my biography
'Prophet, the Hatmaker's Son', which is such a gift
and it was also released today. And
please let me hear from you too..With you I will
start the next 5000 Ideas...
UN
Secretary General U Thant, a former school
headmaster from Burma, and my spiritual master,
often said to me when I was his assistant: "Robert,
there will be no peace on Earth, if there is not a
new education." He was right. I will therefore
reproduce here, in his memory, my peace education
dreams given in my acceptance speech of the UNESCO
1989 Peace Education Prize. [More]

Idea 2874 ~ Someday
I should write another book on all my dreams which
became true during my life. For instance, the dream
after World War II to work for peace the rest of my
life. The dream to join the United Nations. The
dream to see the border in my hometown disappear.
The dream to live in a demilitarized country. The
dream to be an educator for peace. The dream to
live as long as possible to help bring about a
better world. The dream to live some day on a
beautiful hill with a magnificent view and to write
as an elder of the United Nations the beautiful
stories of my life and my further dreams and ideas
for a better word. I have come to believe that the
only things that really work on this miraculous,
magic Earth are dreams.

Sunday 3 November 2002 Slavko
dropped into Robert's room. "I've been reading some
Goethe, and it started me thinking about some of
the choices I've made. Tell me what you think about
this." "Until
one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to
draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning
all acts of initiative and creation, there is one
elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills
countless ideas and splendid plans: That
the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to
help one that would never otherwise have
occurred. A
whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen
incidents and meetings and material assistance,
which no one could have dreamt would come their
way. Whatever
you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness
has genius, power, and magic in it." "This
is a good time to be bold," Robert said. "Audacity
is the first step in any worthwhile
adventure." From
"Prophet--The Hatmaker's Son, The Life of Robert
Muller", page 155.

25 October 2002 This
morning Robert said " I am so glad that the United
States has decided to resume its membership in
UNESCO as did Great Britain and also I am so glad
that the US government has decided not to act
unitaterally with a war in Iraq and to work with
the Security Council of the United Nations". -
Barbara Gaughen-Muller --- I
urge that by the year 2000 all military and police
forces of this planet, from the United Nations
Peacekeeping "Forces" at the top, to national
military "forces" and local municipal and rural
police "forces," will be transformed into beloved
and respected Peace Agents and
Protectors. --- I
hope that soon the University for Peace created by
the UN in demilitarized Costa Rica will be ratified
by all governments and made the world's guiding and
inspiring center for peace education. It
is a historical blemish that after twelve years
only 32 governments out of 185 members of the
United Nations had the decency to ratify it and
only 3 have supported it financially. Military
"Academies" for their part receive billions of
dollars. Please check the list of ratifying
countries in the footnote below, and if your
government has not done so write a letter of
protest to your elected representative.

Idea 1888 ~ What
an incredible planet in the universe this will be
when we will be one human family living in justice,
peace, love and harmony with our divine Earth, with
each other and with the heavens.

Tuesday 5 November 2002 ~
Idea 2929 ~ It
is strange that at a time when we have such an
incredible, unprecedented knowledge of the whole
universe, of our solar system, of our entire planet
and whole humanity, the 188 'national' educations
of this Earth continue to spend more time on what
is in their interests and on national allegiance of
their students than on the interests of our Earth
and of the whole human community. As
a result the students cannot become the fulfilled,
happy, global beings they could and should be at
our stage of evolution. Recent
scientific studies show that the fragmentation of
the knowledge taught to children and youth is a
major cause of violence. The frontal lobe of the
brain, whose function it is to give a synthesis of
our knowledge of the outside world, develops
'holes' and cannot give the peace and happiness
expected by the whole human being. Hence
sicknesses, depressions and violence. I
have found happiness and meaning in my life only in
the United Nations, the most universal, wholistic
university on Earth and have therefore developed
from that blessed experience a World Core
Curriculum which should be applied in all schools
of the world (see table in 'Ideas and Dreams For A
Better World, Volume I').

Wednesday 6 November 2002 ~
Idea 1717 ~ We
should have Declarations of Interdependence in a
whole series of fields: a Declaration of
Interdependence in the educational field, in the
political field, in the medical field, etc. There
should not be a single field and segment of human
concern without a Declaration of Interdependence
and a Code of Ethics. This would definitely enhance
human progress and world-wide
cooperation. We
should also have a whole series of World
Declarations of Cooperation and Friendship. I could
imagine a first great Declaration of Cooperation
between the rich and the poor countries in all
fields of life from development to the environment,
from peace to non-violence, the avoidance of
terrorism, etc.
