Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Canada opens resource center in Yogyakarta

“… 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. …”

Canada opens resource center in Yogyakarta

Sri Wahyuni, The Jakarta Post, Yogyakarta

Canadian Ambassador to Indonesia John Holmes officially opened on Monday the UIN-McGill Canadian Resource Center which is set to promote Canada and expand people-to-people links between the archipelago and the North American country.

Holmes said the center is the first of its kind in Indonesia and underscored important links between the two countries.

"This project was conceived, funded and implemented by UIN (State Islamic University) Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta and McGill University and stands as an excellent example of academic cooperation between Canada and Indonesia," Holmes said.

Situated at UIN's University Library on Jl. Laksda Adisucipto Yogyakarta, the center features a collection of printed and audiovisual materials on Canada.

It has a space for future activities including discussions, workshops and film screenings.

Holmes also said his office would try to make sure it integrated the center into general embassy activities.

He said as an example when the embassy had speakers coming to Jakarta, it would try to make sure their programs included the center, to give book readings or academic discussions.

"That is very much the embassy's goal," Holmes said.

The ambassador said he hoped the center would also advance an important partnership on the study of Canada in Indonesia, especially because both countries had a great deal in common.

"We have a lot to learn from each other, from our different experience with multi-culturalism and pluralism," Holmes said.

Phillip Buckley of McGill University said he hoped the center would not just offer displays or a space for Indonesians to learn more about Canada.

"One other thing I really look for is that this center will become a vibrant center of intellectual life in comparative analysis and that more and more Canadians will come here to learn about ourselves through the way in which you look at Canada," he said.

"Perhaps we are coming in a full circle.

"At one point some Indonesian scholars came to McGill to learn about Islam.

"In the future Canadian scholars will come to the UIN Yogyakarta to learn about Canada," he said.

Speaking to The Jakarta Post at the opening ceremony on Monday, Holmes said there were some 1,100 registered Canadians living in Indonesia, some 60 of whom were in Yogyakarta.

"The number could double if we include those who do not report to the embassy.

The next resource center would be established next year at UIN Jakarta, he said.

Also at the opening ceremony was the chairman of the country's second biggest Muslim organization Muhammadiyah Din Syamsuddin and UIN Sunan Kalijaga Rector Amin Abdullah.
