Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Bali urged to register cultural assets

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Bali urged to register cultural assets

The Jakarta Post

DENPASAR: Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik has asked the Balinese to protect their cultural assets by registering them as intellectual property.

Indonesia recently became embroiled in a spat with Malaysia over that country's use of the folk song Rasa Sayange, which Indonesia claims as its own.

Malaysia was also reported to have registered batik products as its own cultural assets.

The minister urged each province in Indonesia to register all of their intellectual property.

Bali is famous for its art and culture, including textiles, statues, paintings, architectural pieces, songs and dances.

I Nyoman Nikanaya, head of Bali's cultural agency, said a Japanese agency was attempting to register penjor as its own.

Penjor is a long bamboo pole elaborately ornamented with young coconut leaves and fruits. It is erected in front of a house to mark the commencement of a religious festival.

I Gde Parimarta, a professor of culture at the Udayana University in Denpasar, said Indonesia had to be more proactive in registering its cultural heritage.

"We have to learn the international mechanisms for registering our intellectual property, otherwise it will be easy for other countries to claim them," he said.

Bali is now going through the process of registering penjor dand Gringsing traditional textile patterns. (JP)
