“… 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. …”

Exhibition to display woven fabrics with traditional flair

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

A five-day traditional weaving exhibition is set to be opened Wednesday to present some 200 weavers from 12 major producing provinces, the country's industrial ministry said Monday.

The exhibition will be held at Jakarta's convention center and will display woven products from small and medium enterprises, including hand weaved innovations from 12 domestic fashion designers, the organizers said.

"The designers have also trained traditional weavers, so the products will be rich in designs and colors and will be more fashionable and comfortable to wear," said Yusran Munaf, director for small- and medium-scale clothing industry at the ministry.

Yusran said the weavers had undertaken a four-month training workshop organized by the Indonesian Fashion Designers Association (APPMI).

The designers include Ghea S. Panggabean, Thomas Sigar, Oscar Lawalata, Merdy Sihombing, Tuti Cholid, Stephanus Hamy and Taruna Kusmayadi.

Yusran said although the products were designed more creatively, they still applied traditional patterns from provinces including Bali, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, as well as North and South Sumatra.

The products to be displayed would include traditional clothing, household appliances, accessories, sofas and decorations for homes and offices.

Yusran said the exhibition was aimed at promoting woven fabrics as part of the country's cultural heritage to both domestic and international markets.

Last year's exhibition booked about Rp 1.76 billion (around US$190,000) in revenue, or around Rp 352 million per day.

"This year, we expect the exhibition can book a 20 to 25 percent increase in revenue," Yusran said.

There are about 170,000 weaving business units with 300,000 weavers in 19 provinces.

Yusran said to help develop their businesses, the ministry would gradually try to introduce machinery weaving equipment so they could increase the volume of their products with various patterns.(ndr)
