"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. …

Dutch society open house to feature music, cinema

Janika Gelinek, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

The Erasmushuis (the Dutch Cultural Center) in cooperation with the Erasmus Taalcentrum (the Dutch Language Center) in Jakarta will be holding an Open House on Saturday, Dec. 1.

Starting from 11 a.m. and running until the evening, a variety of events from music to cinema will be taking place at the Dutch language center and the Dutch cultural center buildings on Jl. Rasuna Said, South Jakarta.

"It is neither an annual open house nor do we actually have a special occasion for doing it", said language coordinator of the Taalcentrum Kees Groeneboer.

"Last year the language center celebrated its 25th birthday, and the open house was a big success," he said.

"We had 1600 people come (last year). And after that we decided to do that again, this time together with the Erasmushuis, because this gives us an opportunity for an even larger event."

The Open House will start with the launch of the Indonesian translation of the children's book The Letter for the King by Tonke Dragt, which recently won an award for best Dutch children's book. The book launch will be followed by a performance from Introdans, one of top dance companies in the Netherlands.

Groeneboer says at least 2,000 people are expected to attend.

A program for children will run all day and a very special guest is expected to arrive from Europe, he said.

"One of the events regarding the Dutch culture is the visit of Santa Claus, who will come here at 1 p.m. He is coming all the way from Spain and therefore cannot make it to the opening, but I promise at 1 p.m. he'll be here."

Dutch author Kristien Hemmerechts is also scheduled to present her book and a language program will be carried out by the poet Joke van Leeuwen, who will present prose and poetry, tell stories and -- if supported by the audience -- also sing.

Later on the day, jazz musician John Hondorp will have a go on his hammond organ to mix its swinging sound with Indonesian jazz brothers Oele and Jack Pattiselanno and at the end of the day Tahera & Friends will stir up the theater with a combination of Latin and jazz.

Kees Groeneboerg says there are a few other surprises in stall for visitors.

"A lot of door gifts will be handed out ... one of the prizes will be a free Dutch course!"

All events are free of charge; for further information check the Erasmushuis Web site at www.mfa.nl/erasmushuis.
