| [GMW #688A] Read Newspaper That Report UN News
| | Tuesday 17 May 2005, Editor: Easy * Daily Blog | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | | Peace | | ~ Idea 6043 ~
Why do I prefer the Costa Rican newspaper La Nación to the US press? Because it publishes reports of the United Nations and of its agencies on world problems. I have seldom seen such reports in the United States press. They all have to be US news and views. Name me one US newspaper which has published fully and undoctored the reports of the World Health Organization on the effects of climatic changes in the world? I mean the full reports as they were published by La Nación.

| | Robert's Golden Sayings | A new science and art of consciousness must be developed: the transformation of the Earth into a highly conscious cell of the universe. But where is it taught?
* It is so easy to forget what is important in life. Train yourself always to remember the priorities of life. It is a difficult but necessary art.
* Was I more myself when I was a child? I could burst with joy and also cry. I was fascinated by everything. I fell asleep, exhausted by the wonders of life.
Today, as an adult, I am even more: I am a cross-section of many lives and thoughts. I am an expanded, dilated self to very vast limits.
Today, I speak and write as an instrument of the universe, of the planet, of humanity and of life. I am giving back what I have received. I expand others, as I expanded myself. Everyone must find in me an echo of himself.

-A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 6 | During the fortieth anniversary year of the UN, I found on the nighttable of a Japanese hotel a Buddhist prayer book in which I read this story told by the Buddha:
"Once upon a time a father came home from a long trip. When he approached his dwelling, he saw that there was a fire in it. He shouted:
'Children, come out quickly, there is a fire in the house'.
But the children did not come out. So, he shouted:
'Children, I brought back beautiful toys for you. Please come out and see.'
And the children came out right away."
This story was an enlightenment to me. I discovered that I had been doing the same at the United Nations. Instead of telling people and governments about dangers and impending catastrophes, I told them to look at the beautiful things they could do together. Look at the marvelous toys and dreams which are expecting you. Look at the joys of achieving peace, justice and happiness for all. Why don't you play with your most beautiful toys, the United Nations and its specialized agencies, world conferences, world meetings and instruments?
