"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

… 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. …

Book fair to promote new province

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Indonesia's annual book fair this year is set to promote Sulawesi's new province Gorontalo by including a special stand focused on books all about the province.

Organizers said a planned performance called "Gorontalo: the Hidden Paradise" would showcase the province's art and cultural aspects at the opening of the book fair Wednesday.

"We chose Gorontalo because it has (a) qualified education and tourism potency that needs promotion," Indonesian Book Publishers Association exhibition head Robinson Rusbi said.

As many as 270 stands by 120 participants, including publishers and cultural centers would make up the event, which runs from Nov. 14 to 18.

The 27th Book Fair has also invited neighboring Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Brunei Darussalam -- under the ASEAN Book Publishers -- to take part.

"We will provide one stand that sells original books from (these) countries," Robinson said.

Dyandra Promosindo project manager Jimmy Aritonang and event organizer Radyatama said the book event was larger this year thanks to the provision of more space -- an increase from 4,000 sqms last year to 5,500 this year.

"From the given space we hope that more people will visit the exhibition," Jimmy said.

The publishers association said it had registered 100 new publishers since 2005, adding to the already-listed 800 members.

The association said the public's increasing interest in reading all kind of books, including popular fiction and literature, was evident.

The growing number of book fairs held by other organizations or publishing companies was welcomed by the association, Robinson said, because these events helped stimulate the public's knowledge of new books, authors and publishers.

But he said he regretted the government's insufficient support for events and companies that promoted literature and reading.

"The government should give a subsidy so that small publishers can afford to open stands at book fairs," Robinson said.

And he said through the event he hoped many people would recognize small publishers along with well-known publishers.

Jimmy said however he expected to build a more internationally focused book fair in 2008 because this year would provide an opportunity to invite foreign publishers and institutions.

"But the concept will be discussed after this year's event," Jimmy said. (ewd)
