“… 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. …”

International seminar examines so-called clash of civilizations

Blontank Poer, The Jakarta Post, Surakarta

Prominent Catholic thinker Franz Magnis Suseno told a seminar on Wednesday misperceptions about Western culture and the perceived arrogance of the U.S. had led to a general unease in the Islamic community toward the West.

Magnis was speaking at the international symposium, "From the Myth of Clash of Civilizations toward Partnership: Building a Culture of Peace", at Muhammadiyah University in Surakarta, Central Java.

The two day event is co-organized by the university and the German Embassy.

He said the relationship between Islamic countries and Western nations had gradually improved, with the U.S. somewhat distancing itself from Israel and establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with Saudi Arabia.

"The reason behind this change is simple; the politics between states is ruled by pragmatism -- by political and economic interests," he said.

Amien Rais said U.S. arrogance was the primary cause of uneasy relations between Islam and the West.

He also said U.S. action in Iraq was motivated by the simple desire to gain control over that country's vast oil resources.

"If there hadn't been any oil in Iraq, if that country only had vegetables, surely the American invasion would not have taken place," he said.

The deputy rector of Sunan Ampel State Islamic Institute, Nur Syam, said Islamic fundamentalism was largely triggered by the economic hardship that affects a large majority of Muslims.

"Globalization, with its capitalism and principles of materialism, has placed the Islamic community in a difficult position," he said.

"On the one hand Islamic communities want to strengthen their religious practices. On the other hand, they have to face the challenges presented to them by a global economic system that they deem unfair."

That is the reason, he said, fundamentalist Islamic organizations shared the same trait: anti-globalization and anti-Westernization.

This is seen in their opposition to Western products, which they claim do not accord with Islamic values.
