… 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. …

Former police chief urges action to protect children

Alit Kertaraharja, The Jakarta Post, Denpasar

Bali badly needs professional police to fight against pedophiles who manage to continue their activities unhindered, operating under an organized international network, former Bali Police chief Comr. Gen. Made Mangku Pastika says.

"We urgently need professional police ... the capture or uncovering of existing networks cannot be handled by amateur police," he said.

Pastika said more workshops or seminars are needed because many police officers who have received training in dealing with pedophiles, have been re-assigned to new tasks or posts.

"Many officers do not know what is meant by pedophilia and its impact on the future of children," Pastika said Sunday at the opening an anti-pedophilia photographic exhibition at the Denpasar Art Center.

The exhibition is organized by the Bali chapter of the Committee Against Sexual Abuse (CASA) in cooperation with Terre des Hommes of the Netherlands.

The exhibition, titled "Protect Children from the Danger of Pedophiles", shows Balinese children and the existing legal process surrounding pedophilic crimes.

"Initially I did not know about pedophilia. However, after a series of meetings with CASA Bali, I was shocked to see what is done by pedophiles can be classified as an extraordinary crime," he said.

"The worrying thing is many Balinese children have fallen victim to such crimes. With as little as Rp 5,000 (55 US cents) the children are willing to be invited to hotels or bungalows."

Pastika further expressed concern over the fact the children's parents were happy to see their children earning money.

"They think foreign tourists are generous. As a Balinese man I am offended to see our children have been included in their operations. The more distressing thing is that we happily enjoy our lives and do nothing at a time when our children have fallen victim to such severe sexual abuse," he said.

Pastika also asked CASA to intensify its work with other institutions to protect children from pedophiles. He suggested CASA establish a separate litigation and advocation division.

His sentiments were shared by CASA Bali's president, L.K Suryani, who said the organization had several times submitted information on pedophile abuses to the police.

Since its establishment in 2002, CASA has uncovered 10 pedophile cases involving expatriates, and has given legal counseling to victims -- especially those who have the courage to report the crime to the authorities, Suryani said.

Of the disclosed cases, however, only eight were brought to trial and light sentences given to the offenders, she said.

Suryani said CASA hoped to raise public awareness of the problem.

"We don't want to be deceived now, after focussing so hard on the tourism industry," she said.
